Success!

Well a few things:
1.) Today is the 2 year mark from when the boys were diagnosed with TTTS...and today you would never know it!
2.) We celebrated by a successful trip to the zoo with our buddies, Emily and Maddox. We took the wagon and the boys did great! I had thought of getting "leashes" for them, but decided to see how they would do. I have to admit I was a little terrified when we got there to see that it must have been national field trip day because there were rows and rows of buses! But they did awesome! They even got to walk some!!! Yeah boys!!!
3.) Check out for my interview on Karen Moise's blog. http://miraclesofmultiples.blogspot.com/

Dirt

So, I have boys.
They love dirt.
This is what they love to do.
I don't try to stop it anymore...just wash them off.

Just trying to have a moment!

This is what it is like trying to have a moment with toddler boys :)
Excuse the singing

Hippity Hoppity

Here is post one of our East weekend. It's from yesterday. After church we went over to Bill and Angie's to celebrate with our extended family! Even though we went napless...we still had a great time. The boys had fun with the girls and being loved on by all the grown ups!



This picture makes me laugh because we were trying to get them to give each other a hug or kiss...and these were the expressions we got!!!

Wedding Weekend Part 2

So as mentioned in the last post Saturday morning we got the treat of taking a hike with the tweedles. It was a beautiful cool morning and there were lots of fun animals to see. They boys have a love/hate relationship with animals. They don't want anything to do with them all the while not being able to walk away from them.

For that fact alone we only saw 3 kinds of animals on an hour walk!

Granpa, I know you won't lie this picture because you can't see them up close...but that is why I like it...they look so tiny!

Checking out the animals

Look at Blake's face...he was staring into the face of fear...

or really just into this face

Wedding Weekend!

This past weekend the boys got to be ring bearers for our sweet friends, Jennifer and Braxton. Jennifer is the oldest daughter of some of our sweet friends, Tim and Ann Bates. They have a family that we adore and love getting to be a part of. We were really excited that the boys were asked to be in the wedding. We got to go to Belton, TX on Friday, stay at a wonderful retreat center and hang out with lots of people we love!

The boys did pretty well. They did perfect at the rehearsal and were angels all Friday night. They were thrown off of their schedule and were still happy! Saturday was a little harder. The wedding was at 2pm and our little guys nap every day from 1-4. They had to be at the church at 12 for pictures. They made the whole day with just one short 10 minute nap in the car. So that being said, they did really well.

I am going to chose to not tell you about the fit that happened when we tried to dress them. Jennifer even came out and asked if she could help! They were NOT happy campers about being in those tuxes...but they calmed!

Blake made it down the aisle with the flower girl...and Owen made it too, a few steps back, and with his daddy pushing him! BUT - we made it with no tears...at least no tears while walking down the aisle.

They did great. The bride was radiant and it was SO fun to be there.

Here they are in their tuxes!!!

We snuck into a sunday school class so they could play and not destroy things...as Braxton's mom put it when she snuck them peanut butter cookies into the sanctuary - God understands...they are little!

Not a fan of this picture of me...but look at the boys!!! Too funny!

Sticking our fingers in Daddy's ear...we think this is a riot! This is about 20 minutes before the wedding!

And this is an after shot...to show how tired we were...this was during the ceremony...guess its a good think we took them out!

We did drag them to the reception...we couldn't miss the cake!

Here is my favorite picture of Owen and Nate - this is the rehearsal dinner:
