Still Growing...

So I took the kids for their 4 year old check-ups!! It just AMAZING how far they have come in such a short amount of time.

Just as a reminder - Noah was 2.3 pounds and 14 1/2" and TJ was 1.12 pounds and 14"!!

As of today, Noah is 37.2 pounds and 40 1/2" and TJ is 33.2 pounds and 39 3/4"!! WOW!!!

It is just amazing to me all of the changes they have gone through. Life is truly miraculous.

On a side note... even though they lost tonight...

Happy Birthday!

It's official - Noah & TJ are 4 years old! How crazy is that! It really seems like yesterday I was able to scoop them both up at the same time since they weighed a combined 6 pounds. (That was when they were 3 months old!) They sure have come a LONG way. Not a day, wait hour, goes by where we are not fully entertained by something one of them says or does. Life is such a joy and is filled with so much love, joy, and humor. Life IS good.

So the kids' preschool is a non-state funded program. It is THE most magical place one could ever imagine for a child to grow. I honestly cannot say enough about this place. Where else can a 3 year old dissect a salmon, go out to roast marshmallows around the fire pit, play pirate on a giant ship that you can paint any color you want, and then help take apart an old laptop computer complete with scientist's goggles!?! At Roseville Community Preschool that's where! So to help with yearly finances, they have an annual benefit. And a BIG one!

I know it seems as if I'm always sending something out asking for money but how else can I afford to send my kids to college?! Just teasing. :o)

March for Babies 2010

It's time again to ask friends and family for donations to a wonderful organization that made it possible for Noah & TJ to be doing so well. Every dollar is GREATLY appreciated! Please pass the word along to everyone that you know. A lady in my area recently lost her twin boys after delivering them at 25 weeks. The March of Dimes provides answers for those unanswered questions that families like the lady in my area have. It they do not know the answers, they utilize funds raised from walks all over the country to find them.

Thank you for your continued support!
Kevin, Jill, Noah, & TJ Miles

Roller King!

We had a Mothers of Multiples get-together at Roller King!! There were 3 sets of twins all together as well as the younger sister of one of the sets of twins. 6 girls and Noah. :o)

The kids all had a great time!!

So they lock the kids' wheels when they start out to help them get used to the skates. Apparently TJ does not need hers locked all the way. She pretty much RAN everywhere around the rink. And fast, too! It was pretty funny.

TJ all accessorized and ready to go roller skating! "Mom, I have to wear my 'neckalis' so that all the kids can see it."

Noah chilling with a friend as they enjoy their private little light show!

"Mom! I did it!!" TJ excited after a successful pass at the limbo bar!

Noah and another friend just hanging out practicing their moves.

Another view of TJ "skating" aka running!

Santa?

So the other day TJ said, "Mom, what color is Santa?"

Anyone? Anyone?? (I'll accept any and all responses.) :o)

Here are some of our Santa photos from this holiday season.

Life

has been rolling along. Crazy how busy things get when your kids start school. Yes, even preschool. We have been doing play dates, trying not to catch swin flu or any other type of flu, I've been busy with the 2 businesses, and Kevin has been busy working on his television ideas for kids' shows. One show is going to be pitched to Disney in a week or so. Yes, Disney! So we'll see. He has been working his tail off to make sure we can make ends meet and can move one day. :o)

In addition the Mothers of Multiples board I am now part of the board for a foundation that is raising money to buy additional RV's for families to stay in while their child/children are in the NICU. Even though our drive was a good 30 minutes each way, there were some families we met that lived hours away! I can't imagine what we would have done. Here's a link to the foundation if anyone is interested. They are looking for fabric, people who know how to knit/sew/etc. So if you know how to make any of the NICU items, most have patterns online, it would be a wonderful gift to pass along the info so that we can receive as many of these items as we can to share with the local hospitals and families. http://alybooandizybee.org/

Let's see what else has been going on... TJ is slowly learning Spanish. Hee Hee Hee I heard her yelling "E-u-da-may!" "E-da-may!" At first it just sound like "Eda May" and I kept wondering who "Eda May" was! I looked around the corner and saw her pretending to be stuck and needing help from Noah. She was actually saying, "Ayudame" which is Spanish for "help me". LOL It was pretty funny. She'll also speaks nonsense words whenever we go through a drive-thru and the person is Spanish "looking". Then she'll say, "adios!" It is pretty funny.

They are continuing to grow and learn and could not be more inquisitive. TJ drives me bonkers with her "why" questions and other traits however I know that I used to do the EXACT same thing when I was younger. Ah karma... gotta love it!

The kids are SOOOOOO excited for Chrsitmas. They already informed me that our house was "NOT cool" for Halloween so I definitely have to step it up this year! I cannot have two 3 year olds thinking our house is not cool.

Well, it's official, the holidays are here! My favorite Christmas music radio station is on and the kids and I LOVE it!!

Well, my 'free' time is over for now. We are off to the library! Hugs to you all.
