Matthew and Michael are 1

Saturday we had a big birthday party for the boys. Tim and I were both a little stressed out. The chicken took a little longer than expected and I forgot to start the potatoes on time. Overall, everything was fine. Thank you to everyone that came and wished our boys a happy birthday and for all of the gifts.

The boys were really good that day. They were able to take a short nap while everyone ate and then we woke them up to sing and eat cake.
















Since Tim was in Tunica and I was home by myself with the boys, I had to do anything to get them to shut up. They were so bad on Monday and even a little on Sunday night. I was ready for him to come home. Tuesday they were great. I don't know what happened. I was so upset that Greg came over to keep me company and brought me ice cream.

Enjoying their own couches. They love them. Matt sits and Michael does, well I don't know what he does.

Thank you again everyone for all of the wonderful gifts.

All Star Fan Fest

Tim and I took the boys down to fan fest. It was a lot of fun, but very very long. We were there for 4 hours. I was probably more tired than the boys. They were pushed in the strollers the whole time while I was walking. The only money we spent was on food/soda and that cost us $30. We tried to take a lot of pictures, I looked like a cow in the first family one we took, so I decided to just take them of the boys.

This is when we first got to Fan Fest. A lady from Bank of America was playing with them making them laugh.

There was a photo booth so we decided to hold the boys up to take a picture.

When I was getting a soda, Tim was watching the kids play with each other. They kept touching their feet together and laughing.

They were so tired after it was all over

Matt is starting to take more steps. Yesterday he walked across the majority of the kitchen. He is so funny, when he is walking towards you he starts to go sideways towards something else. He is starting to get more teeth, right before his birthday, which sucks because he is getting every symptom with it. We have pictures tomorrow and he is getting a runny nose.

Michael is starting to walk really fast, but still a little clumsy. He tries to walk with his bottle in his mouth and he will fall down and hurt himself.

Their birthday party is this Saturday, so if you are coming, I forgot to write on the invite to bring lawn chairs. We don't have a lot of seating.

Matt's Taking STEPS and New baby info

So Matt-man is starting to take some steps. He took 3 steps for my mom and Tim yesterday and more for me today. Ignore how big I look in this video I just wanted to get him on video and it is very hard when I am doing it myself. Also sorry that it is sideways.




I went to the Dr. yesterday for an ultrasound. The babies are growing great. Baby 'A' is estimated 3lb 3oz and baby 'B' is estimated 3lb 7oz. The Dr. said he sees no reason for me not to go at least 36 weeks. That is my goal, so I can start the school year and get things set for my sub.
I didn't really feel like scanning in all of the pictures separately.

First Row, first picture is a profile of baby 'a' and the second picture is baby 'b' looking at you. The second row first picture is baby 'b' looking at the back of baby 'a' s head and the second picture is another one of baby 'b' looking at you.

A new spot for baths

Lately the boys have been feeding themselves in their highchairs. The only problem with that is, they love to run their fingers through their hair after a few bites. Their bodies are staying clean, but their hair is getting really sticky and dirty. I went to give them a bath and I wanted it to be a quick one. The sink is really easy but I have to fill it twice and make sure the temperature is good twice. We decided to give them a bath in the real tub last night and they loved it. They splashed and slid around. Michael cried when Tim got him out and didn't stop crying until I got Matt finished and dressed.

I love to end a post with something like this...
Michael's bare but

Wish I had lots of money!

I really wish I had lots of money so we can go out everyday and do something new each day. Target only gets new items every now and again. It gets kind of boring going there all of the time. I could clean but that is boring too. The house has been staying pretty straightened for the last few weeks, well the rooms you can see when you walk in the house. I would love to get everything cleaned, painted and decorated before Matthew and Michael's 1st birthday party but I really don't see it all happening. We have the kitchen primed with one coat so far, but we need to do another and then probably 2 coats of the new color. Finally, my kitchen will be bright.

Remember dates are really for me............

Michael is starting to walk all over, but he still likes to crawl and play with Matt when they chase each other. (6/22) He is now stands up with out holding on to anything. We can see 8 teeth now (6/15). Four on top and four on bottom.

Matt is walking around everything so good. He still only has two teeth but I think more will be coming really soon. He can't keep his fingers out of his mouth. He is really starting to make way more noise than Michael. He babbles on and on. He does funny face all the time and starts to laugh at himself.

All of these cute pictures started because Matt likes to pull his own hair all of the time. I always say he looks like Ace Ventura. It really makes me laugh. Some times it will stay like that over night.

Michael's taking steps

Michael starting taking some steps yesterday on June 5, 2009. He is already getting pretty good. Every time he starts I don't have the camera by me. He is up to about 8-10 steps. He also cut a new tooth on top this entire week. It started showing through on Tuesday June 2, 2009. This is his 4th tooth. (sorry about the exact date but I need it so I can right it all down) Also sorry about the video and how it is sideways. I didn't think of that when I was recording. I just wanted to get it on tape.

Matt is doing great. He is pulling up on everything like Michael and he is starting to walk around things more. We are waiting for him to get another tooth. Sometime soon we hope.
