Cute faces

I love these pictures, because it just shows what boys/babies do when they experiement with dirt. The end result of being around dirt=dirt on the faces.

Dirt, Dirt, and more dirt

No, sand in the air.

Time in the Air

Both Shawn and I love to toss the boys up into the air. Lately, it has been Shawn because the boys are getting to big for me to toss anymore. The twins just love it and luckily I got some amazing pictures of Kyle going up into the air.

First take-



Take two-

Carhartt gear...

"Just what the boys needed," mommy says. And they put them to use right away by playing in them outside. Kyle playing with the ball. Tatum was preparing to climb the nearby tree.

Birthday Family Pictures

Birthday gift-time

Remember, Kyle was the only one up during this time and just wanted to play with the ribbon.



Okay, he took his attention away from that for a brief second to look at the toy trucks. Isn't that just how it goes.

Twins are One-year Old!

Well, this post is late, but I just have to share some of the million pictures we took that day. The twins had a blast even though they were not up together throughout the party. Kyle was a sleep when guest started to arrive, so everyone met Noah. Then Kyle woke up just in time for the meal and so we got to see them together at this time. Then Noah took a nap while Kyle enjoyed opening the gifts. Well, that his mommy and Tatum helped with while he played with the curled ribbon. And he continued playing with them over and over dispite my attempts to turn his focus onto their gifts. Ha,ha,ha I must say though that he did look at the two toy trucks for a brief second and then went back to the ribbon. In the end, Noah woke up and rejoined us for the family and friend pictures. The party went great and we had plenty of leftovers. Yumm! Thanks to both grandmas for helping out with the party.

The birthday cake: Oddly, Noah's curiosity had him touching the cake when Kyle didn't want anything to do with it. Kyle is usually the messy one. So you see me trying to get him to touch the cake. But he thinks Naa.

Our Family

Here is one of our latest pictures of our family all together. Everyone is looking in the right direction. Wo-hooo!!

Walking Adventures

We have been walking on and off already since the beginning of May. Although I would like to say that the off days are due to poor weather (because it truly has been raining a lot!), I get so tired from taking care of the three monkeys. Tatum usually rides his bike, but unfortunately I do not have a picture of him on his bike. I need to get one.


Today, he took off away from us, which is a first, to get down the trail. He was just enjoying his ride. He looks forward to stopping at one of the three parks that are along our walking trail. Hence the photo of him going down the yellow slide.



The twins, well, they just enjoy being outdoors. They love the wagon and couldn't ask for much more. I am glad that they all love to be outdoors. I will get my exercise in if they keep this up. I know Grandma Nalee can attest to this, for she spent a week up here with us and that is all the kids wanted to do.

"Let's go for a walk," mom or grandma would say.
"Go walk," Tatum would say.
"Uh, Uh, Uh (point to door and then cry)," so the twins would say and do.
