Santa Picture 2009

I took the boys to breakfast with Santa at Jane & Ken's church on 12/12/09. They were being so good that day but by the time we went to get the picture they were starting to get tired. They were also scared of Santa, but what 1 year old is not. I think it is funny how Santa is trying to old them all and they are all wiggling out of his arms.

Dan and Chris's Baptism

Dan and Chris were baptized on November 8th. It was a great day. We had nice weather and we had a lot of people over. Thank you to Janie, Brian, Katie and Jim for being the God parents.














Hopefully, I will be able to update with some new pictures. We have a lot of them, I just have to find time.

Happy Halloween

Where to start? Well everything is out of order on here. I was tired of moving pictures around. It takes forever to upload them and then it takes more time to copy/paste them in order. On Sunday, 10/25 we went to Anthony's 2nd birthday party at Planet Fun in St. Peter's. They had a great time playing with all of the other kids and with the different toys. After the party I dropped of Tim, Mike and Matt and I took Dan and Chris to Alli's 4th birthday party.

Michael was getting tired and wanted to be held

It took them both a little time to climb through on their own.

Of course, I waited until the last minute to try on their costumes (Halloween day). They loved them. They were running around the house playing for along time. Sometimes I feel like I have a 'zoo' at my house.


All of the outfits are repeats from last year. Dan and Chris got to wear Matt and Mike's from last year and Mike and Matt got theirs from their cousins.

They didn't want anything to do with pictures or sitting next to each other

It was a little cold so we let them stay in the stroller instead of walking up to the doors

After trick or treating we came home to relieve Becky, Ray and Diona from the babies. Ray was chasing the big boys around the hallway. They were loving it and of course it got them hyper again. It was so cute, after going around the hallway a few times, Matt stopped, looked at Ray and bent down to give the baby a kiss. Then he started running around again. The way he looked at Ray, he was like hold on Paw-paw I have to give my brother a kiss.

10/24/09------ We had our Halloween party on the Saturday before. Tim was playing with the boys and let them wear a few masks. Of course this is the one he took pictures of.

I had a lot of fun at our party, it wasn't as big as usual, but still I had all of my friends and family their and that is what makes it fun. I am actually kind of glad because it was less to clean up.

Dan and Chris are starting to notice things and even smile. I try to get pictures of it, but it is hard when the light on my camera makes them stop and shut their eyes.

Last but not least, I put Mike and Matt to bed on Wednesday and forgot to put a onesie or pants on them. I walked in their room to put their cloths away after they fell asleep and I saw Matt's bare but sticking up. I had to get a picture. I put a diaper on him and also put some pants on him.

Going back to work soon!

For the past couple of weekends Diona has been coming over our house and helping us out. It is so nice to have a 2nd set of hands during the day and a 3rd set at night. She is great with the kids and very big help. When she stays over next I am going to start waking her up for the a.m. feedings. Thank you Diona for all of your help and company. I like talking to adults during the day.

I go back to work on Monday, I am really looking forward to it. Who ever has facebook knows that I have been ready to go back now for about 3 weeks. I love all of my boys and they are very very good, but I just like to be out of the house. Chris and Dan are getting so big, they have their 2 month check up on November 2. I try to get pictures of the new babies but it gets boring taking pictures of them just laying their awake/sleeping. I love taking pictures of Matt and Mike because they are so photogenic. I am sure you will be able to tell by the pictures.

Matt and Mike had a doctors appointment on Thursday 10/22/09 for their 15 mos check up. Matt is 26lb 6oz (75%) 32 in (80%) and Mike is 26lb 13oz (80%) 33 in (90%). They are getting big, the nurses said that they had a big jump in height since their 1 year check up. They both got 4 shots that day. I held Matt first and he didn't make a sound until the 4th shot and it wasn't even a cry. It was more like leave me alone. Mike cried from the time she took the cap off the first needle. He screamed so hard, poor baby. I can still see the red marks on both of their legs.

Matt--some how he figured it out

What a cheeser?
Matt's new trick

I moved the couch out one day to clean behind it, it was somewhere new for them to go, they loved it.

Since our TV went out we had to have a little on up stairs on an old end table. They loved it, once again it was a new place for them to go. They look like they were in a jail cell. My little jail bird babies. That is what they should be for Halloween.

My mom has been coming over to help me sew some small blankets for the babies. Our goal is to get it done before their baptism, but now that I am going back to work I don't know if it will get done. Matt is giving everyone kissesand hugs now so I had to get some pictures of it. I would have some of him giving Becky a give but the camera/operator couldn't get the picture in time and after a few tries Matt was done giving kisses.



Diona and I went to target last week and she let the boys were some sunglasses as we walked around. They look so cute with their spiked hair.
