I KNOW I KNOW!!

I know it has been a long time since my last post but it seems there is just to many OTHER things taking its place. The twins are getting so big and so independent. They play so good together and yet play so good apart too. Don't get me wrong though they both have a naughty side to them as well. They are into that pushy (as Maddie says it) stage and Maddie bites when Mason ticks her off. Mason is easy going most the time but watch out when he's mad cause he also knows how to throw one heck of a tantrum. They still DO NOT sleep through the night (mostly Maddie) but they are getting better. They have gone a couple times to Nursery, Maddie loves it, Mason well lets just say it will take him a bit longer :) Things are just the same with me and Brandon. He still is working at the dairy (there has been alot of changes up there)and we are glad he still has a job as the econcomy has put the dairy business in a bind. He is not feeding anymore but doing alot more preg-checking and extremely busy with the upkeep on the equipment. I still LOVE being at home with the knotheads but I feel I don't have much of a social life. When I do get out it is a nice getaway from the twins and sometimes Brandon!! We look forward to a wonderful new year and wish all our friends and family a very MERRRY CHRISTMAS!! PS: I promise to do better with keeping you all updated.

HuRRay for SuMmeR!!

Just a few pics of the twins enjoying their new pool and of course popsicles!!

Mater + Mouse Traps = OUCH!!

So Mason was following me throughout the dentist office while we were cleaning, I had walked into another room and just as I walked back in I heard a snap and saw Mason's little finger in the mouse trap. I never thought he would find it because it was behind a picture on the ground that had been there for over 5 months. After cold water and of course a TREAT he was much better just one swollen little finger!!

More pics of their party!!

TWINS TURN ONE

Mason and Maddie turned one on March 2nd, but we had their birthday party the Saturday before. We started with a great lunch and moved on to the fun. The twins had so much fun trying to open their presents and got a lot of fun toys and way cute clothes. There cakes turned out so adorable and the twins had fun tasting and smashing them. Thanks to all our family for the gifts, good food and being their to celebrate this special day with us!

The twins have really come along way within last month. They are both pulling themselves up and getting down. They are into everything and I mean everything. They love walking around the furniture as well as letting us help them walk. They are eating more "grown up" food and still thinks their sippy cups are for biting on. Mason is crawling like a big boy and Maddie is still army crawling. Mason still doesn't have his bottom 2 front teeth but Maddie has gone from 2 to 6!! We are getting ready to celebrate their first birthday on the 27th of this month and can not wait to see them dig into their smash cakes. Cassa Carter is making them some Mickey and Minnie cakes and I can not wait to see them!! Next time I update on the kids they will be one how crazy is that or maybe I should update more often!!

Thought I would post a few new pics of the twins at Christmas and their 10 month old pictures. We had a great Christmas and so far the new year is looking pretty good!! Mason is going great guns on crawling and now thinks that walking along the couch and big toys is pretty cool. Maddie is still trying to get the crawling down but loves scooting on her bum and rolling to get what she wants. They both love walking in their walker and can get about everywhere in it. They are still cutting teeth Maddie is behind in the count though. They are now switched to regular formula instead of soy HURRAY!!! Christmas was the best and they totally got spoiled. I had to post the pic of Maddie and her new doll. I think they look so much alike,brown eyes and all.(Thanks Aunt Christie) They also got new high chair-booster seats which they love sitting in. We look forward to an awesome new year with the twins turning one, new babies coming in our families and more fun times with family! Wishing you all a wonderful NEW YEAR!!
