Too Funny

Aleck and Brooke were putting their faces right on one of the water spouts. Brooke started it I don't think Aleck would have done it if it weren't for Brooke. I think I need to retract my last statement because Brenda and I think Aleck and Brooke are a lot alike. He probably would have done it on his own. Anyway back too my story, when the spout came back on it got both of them and it was hilarious to watch their faces. I laughed so hard. It was too funny. Just another preciuos moment in our life.

Splash Island

I found Splash Island from an email from McMoms.(Moms of Multiples) Brenda and I decided to try it out and it was a blast. It was totally safe because their was not a body of water for me to worry over. I am so happy that we have found a fun place to go during the summer. It is impossible for me to swim with the girls at this age.The best part of the whole day was it is free. They all had so much fun. The girls were slow to get going but Aleck got right in there right away. He is not shy at all. He knows no strangers. Of course, I took a lot of pictures so I will post more tomorrow. We will definitely be going back again and again. We were the first ones there then it slowly started getting crowded. The hardest part of the day for me was to keep the girls away from everyones stuff and the babies. They love babies. Brenda will probably agree with me her hard part of the day was chasing Aleck. He found where the entrance was and headed for it several times. I know she was tired because I was exhausted. But it is worth every bit of exhaustion to let my children experience new things. I love to see their little faces light up and hear them laugh when they are having a good time. It was a great day! Thanks Brenda and Aleck for being a part of our fun day.

Pool Party

We went to a friends pool party on Sunday. It was crazy so I didn't get very many pics. It was really hard to keep up with the girls and snap some pics. But here are a few of my favorites. They both LOVE watermelon but Brooke really loves it. Presley loves bringing daddy a Dr. Pepper. They had so much fun in that ice bucket. They would put their hands in until they were really cold and Presley would cry. (so funny) She didn't understand. Then they started putting a foot in the ice water and would laugh. The funniest thing was when one of the older kids came over and put their head in the bucket and Brooke bent over like she was going to do the same thing. Daddy caught her just in time. They love to watch the bigger kids and do what they do.
My favorite picture of the day is Kenzie and Clay hugging. Is that not the cutest picture? I love the innocence of children. We had a fun day and Thanks to Karen and Jay for opening their home.

More Playdate

I had to post more from our playdate the other day because I have too many favorites.
Sorry for the long break between posts. Our weekends are usually packed full.
Brooke was not happy when Aleck tried to take her Legos away. Look at her face, it makes me laugh. I love the picture of Aleck, I think he is wondering why these two little girls are playing with his toys. He is the cutest! Presley is pointing at Aleck because he is running and laughing in the hall. I am so thankful they all get along because it sure is fun watching them.

Such A Fun Day

We had a fun day today. We went to the mall to play in the play area. Both of the girls played so hard they fell asleep on the way home.
Then we did a spur of the moment play date with Aleck. They all played so well together. The girls were really digging into the toyboxes and checking out the toys. Aleck was so good to share his toys. Last time Aleck came over Presley was a little selfish with her toys. (we are getting better, I hope). It is so funny to watch them play. Aleck walks around babbling it is so adorable. The girls are so quiet when we go somewhere different. It amazes me, especially Brooke. It takes her a while to warm up. They are saying more words but they still have their own language. I talk to them all the time and repeat things and they will repeat things but they still seem so quiet to me. But of course, I am a talker and I want my children to be just like me but it looks like they may be more like their daddy in that department. I guess its not so bad. I'm sure it will change.
I couldn't pick a few pictures because I took so many. Don't they look like they were having fun. I love the picture of Aleck, he looks like he is having the time of his life. Wouldn't you if you had two cute girls to get their attention. I love the picture of Brooke and Aleck kissing. Shhh! Don't tell daddy.
The girls also had fun with Joni (buckethead). I think she had as much fun as the kids. We all did.
We thouroughly enjoyed ourselves. Thanks Brenda and Aleck for opening your home. We can't wait for the next playdate.

A Mixture Of Photos

Okay, I am so bad because I haven't posted in a few days but I don't really have any new photos so I picked out a few from the past. So forgive me if I have posted these before.
The girls love to help, sweeping and mopping is one of them. Sylvia, my maid brought the broom and mop to the girls and they really get with it. She is so sweet to think of the girls.
We finally got our fence put up and I am so thankful. I feel much better now that the girls are more confined and they can't leave our yard. It was really nice today I went to the grocery store and could unload the groceries without worrying they were going to run off. Sometimes its the little things that make it harder with two. But I wouldn't change my life. I love them dearly and really don't mind the challenges. I am definitely more tired lately but that I don't mind either. When they smile, laugh, and say mama, it melts my heart. I love to just sit and watch them right now because they are really too cute right now.
I am off to finish picking up for the maid because I was sick last week and I had to cancel her (Ugh!!)

More Fun

I had to post the pictures of me with the girls because I am never in pics. I love the picture of Presley by herself her expression is priceless. We went to a friends for the fourth after the neighborhood parade. The girls absolutely loved the trampoline. I will post more of the day later. Sorry this is a short post but not feeling much like typing. Thanks for looking.

July 4th 2008

I hope everyone had a wonderful fourth of July. Sorry I haven't posted in a while but we have all had the stomach bug. (not fun)
Our neighborhood has a small parade and gathering. All the kids decorate their bikes and go around the block. They also shoot off a small cannon but boy is it loud. Brooke doesn't ike loud noises as you can see from the picture daddy told her to cover her ears and she did (so cute).
She was also obsessed with one of the neighbors dogs. She walkked the dog around everywhere until the dog laid down and wouldn't move. Brooke was very upset that the dog wouldn't walk around with her. Poor Brooke, she was thouroughly enjoying herself, I'm not too sure the dog was having fun. It was a great crowd this year and the girls had a blast. (no pun intended)
These are the only red outfits I have for the girls so I changed it around a bit. I wanted two red shirts but couldn't find one because I waited too late. I searched and could only find red shorts. It was really hard to find anything red. Another lesson learned when the stuff comes out buy it immediately. Sometimes it just slips my mind or I think I still have time. I didn't want anything that said anything about the fourth of July because I wanted them to be able to wear it again. I know, call me crazy, I just can't help it sometimes. Gary says I am OCD but I am not OCD, only in his mind. It was a fun family day. More memories to cherish.

Face Painting

Here are the pics from the face painting. The little girl, asked both of the girls, what they wanted on their face. I told her to put wjatever she wanted because they really couldn't tell her what they want. She was so cute, she decided to put a heart on both of them. In the picture with both of them, they were touching each others hearts on their face. I didn't get a picture of them actually touching but they thought it was the neatest thing to see something on each others cheek. It was so sweet to watch them.
Presley got sick on Tuesday (vomiting). I immediately thought she had a stomach virus and was preparing for the worst and for Brooke to get it. To top it all off the City of Bedford was going to turn the water off on Wed. from 9:00-4:30. I was a little worried if they both were going to be vomiting. My worryingwas a little premature because it ended up being that we had outdated milk. I had just bought it on Mon. and it wasn't suppose to expire until the fifth. I thought it would be fine because we go throught a gallon of milk in two days. I didn't give them milk all day yesterday except for the morning and that was when the issue happened after the morning milk and in her bed when she woke up. So she didn't get sick the rest of the day so I knew it wasn't a virus. I realized this morning when I went to pour them milk. I tasted it and it was a little sour. Poor Presley. I remembered that when I picked up their sippy cups yesterday, Brooke had not drank her milk (becuase it was sour). It was a little stressful this morning becuase I had no milk. I got dressed and drove to Starbucks and got me a coffee and some milk for the girls. We were all much happier after our little trip. Lesson learned, always smell or taste the milk even if it is days away from the expiration date. Boy, am I relieved we didn't have a stomach virus but let me tell you I was prepared for the worst. Oh yeah, they didn't have to turn off the water today, it will be next week. I hope I have no issues like today.

4th Of July Parade

The girls had a Fourth of July Parade at school today. They were so adorable. Brooke has become really shy and Presley wore a permanent smile on her face. They were so funny when they started walking they grabbed other kids hands instead of each others. Brooke held Dylan's hand and Presley held Kiley's hand. Brooke likes to play with boys. She will follow them around and watch them. They wore hats and had flags to wave. They both loved the flags. The group picture was so funny because it was hard to get them to all look at you or to even smile. All of the kids were so mesmerized by all the commotion. You could really tell they were still so young to really enjoy themselves. We went into the gym and they had games set up and even had face painting. I will post those pics tomorrow. The carnival was put on by the older kids. It was really so sweet to see the effort they put into everything. Brooke and Presley didn't know what to think. But they were still so darn cute!
