Who is Santa?

This is the year that we have started telling Tatum, "Maybe you can ask Santa for that. We will have to write him a letter." So we have planted the seed. Meanwhile, Shawn and I are having fun this year as we prepare for Christmas all because we have a little one that will show us much excitment as he opens up those gifts. The other two . . . well, they will just be excited with the wrapping paper. :) Our idea for them this year is to have Tatum wrap up his baby toys (that we have packed away awhile ago) and give them to his brothers. We are hoping that this will eliminate some of the "hey, that is mine." It will also start the giving notion for Tatum.

Officially 6 months old!

I can't believe it. There has been so much learning and fun throughout these past months. I honestly can say I love having my twins, and most of all having the three of them all together. We always get from passerbys ("starers" sometimes) "Oh, I'm sorry., Is it tough?, Good luck.," and whatever other negative batty comment about raising twins. I think Shawn and I have given our fair share of glares and ignoring faces to people. Raising kids period is a challenge in itself. I love my boys and often reply back to people, "No, they're no trouble. They are perfect and the best boys together." It makes them double think their comments. We are truly blessed.

The only comparison I have about them is the amount of hair they have at 6 months old. This is the only major difference I see in them. Funny, huh. It amazes me that Tatum had a bushel of hair and was ready for a hair cut. On the otherhand the boys, well, they're still trying to grow it. I guess afterall they had to share an egg.

Good ol'McDonalds

Lately, McDonald's has been updating their places. Our's is still in the construction phrase. So everytime we go into town we head to Chuck-a-rama to eat for lunch. Low and behold, there is a Mc-a-Dee's on the way there. It had just finished it's construction updates. Yes, Tatum recoginizes it and always ask to eat there. Of course, mom and dad want to pass it and say to him, "Maybe another day, okay." So we finally kept our promise. We took Tatum and he had a ball (luckily we were able to spend time there without worrying about getting somewhere else. It makes it so much funner to enjoy the moment.) I'm only posting one of the pictures we took that day of him playing. It had to be with "the man" Ronald McDonald.



This is a new hit spot for mother's with children. I couldn't believe how many kids were there. So this picture is precious because the twins were still able to sleep through all the noise. Who would figure that, two of the many kids could sleep through all that fun.

It's Dinner Time!

Here I have all my ducks lined up in a row just finished with dinner. Dad came home that night and laughed at the sight that the three chairs were all on one side of the table.

"Leaf" Jumping

What is fall without raking up and jumping in the leaves!

Halloween Weekend

We had so much fun spending time together. It is just one of those times you get to create so many memories with your family. We were lucky to spend it with Nee-ma and Papa Long and Sasha's family. The costumes were excellent. Thanks to Nee-ma (she sewed the Ninja Turtle outfits and got the monkey outfits for the twins) my little boys had the time of their lives.






Tayden and Tatum loved the costumes and didn't want to stop wearing them. They also couldn't resist fighting and chasing each other. It was just hilarious seeing them play together throughout the whole trip.
