My Superhero...


So we celebrated Christian turning 5 by inviting over the gang to have a Superhero Party! It was a blast! We played pin the spiderman on the bad guy (or something like that)--they had to earn their capes and masks, had an obsticle course that the boys had to go through to save the day, decorated their super hero masks and of course cake and ice-cream. Bubba loved all the attention and loved having his friends over. Happy 5th Bubba!

Boo Bear Turns "9"


So the pajama party was a success!! We had 10 giggly girls over for pizza, games and watched the movie "Rio!" Happy Birthday Bess! We love you!

Two Little Monkey's....




Could the twinners be any cuter? I had to write a post about how we tell these monkey's apart. Most people can't...except for mama and sometimes daddy. If one is in the color green it's Ollie- Oliver for Green OLIVES and Nico is usually in Blue. We also still paint Nico's big toe blue. I'm not sure what we'll do when the summer's over and I have to put socks and shoes on them. I can't believe that they are almost a year!! How time's fly's when your busy out of your mind with little one's!! Oh but how they make me smile. They are both the best babies ever!! I can honestly say that they are good natured, calm, and sweet little monkey's. I think they just had to come this way! The Lord knew that I could handle everything if they were this way. I love these boys to pieces!! Right now they are learning sign language (mostly the sign for "more"), patty cake, saying ,"mama". Ollie loves to smack and click his tongue when he wants to eat and Nico wildly waves his hands around...like" bring on the food baaaybe!" They play sooo good together! Sometimes I will find them wrestling each other or sitting on each other...it's hilarious! They are both soo tough, they climb over each other, knock each other down and steal each other's toys. But it doesn't seem to phase them at all---they are just so used to each other. They other day they just woke up and were both still in the snugly mood. So I rocked them both on my lap and they nuzzled into my chest--it was a moment in time I wanted to freeze, it doesn't get much better then DOUBLE the loves at the same time! Everyday I feel so blessed to have such beautiful, sweet children. My load is heavy and yet sometimes it doesn't feel that way at all. Nothing is more precious then the children you love.

Surfing on Navajo Lake

Photobucket
Last week we went to Durango for our family reunion. We decided to head down a few days early so we could hit the lake with Nate and Sharon. It was a blast!! We always enjoy their company!! Brett and Christian totally hit it off. The surfing was awesome. Ceciley got up for her first time!! She started off with Trent's help and then she did it by herself with Trent on the back of the boat helping her. Once she figured it out she didn't want to go in!! We all took turns surfing, swimming and then had a picnic lunch. We left the twins with Granny, Papa and Aunt Becky. It felt so good to spend a little QT with the older three! Briton even took a nap on the boat!! It felt FANTASTIC to soak up the rays and unwind after a long day of traveling!!

Where or where do I begin???

Here we go again...I'm going to attempt to write more faithfully on this blog. Life is crazy busy like never before. The twins are now 10 months and still as cute and chubby as ever. Nico and Ollie are both crawling EVERYWHERE and have some pretty cute chompers! We still paint Nico's big toe blue so everyone know's who's who. Everyone still gets them mixed up--Trent is doing better---luckily their sweet Mama knows who's who and can keep everybody straight!! Summer is cruising by way too fast for my liking. Bubba just turned 5 years old and had a fun Super Hero Party. We just got back from Durango for a family reunion. Ceciley has been the BEST help ever since school's been out--I'm not sure if I'm ready for her to go back! Trent has been busy with work, and building/fixing up our new cabin. Most days my head is barely above water...however things are getting easier (um well sort of-ha not really...who am I kidding?). I love love love my kiddlets to death. They are all so different and I'm constantly learning from them. My theme lately has been, "Come What May and Love It." Have you read that talk? Oh it's a good one! And ohh boy life has been wonderful but of course challenging!!! If you don't bend you break right?- My dad's famous quote has really been with me lately!!
