Guess that bottom!

This is a picture that we thought was lost. Are amazing girls pushed some buttons on our camera and found it. We thought it was deleted off the camera back in March. The picture was taken out in Colorado. The third bottom belongs to their cousin, Lily, who is a few months older. Her bottom is obvious.



Getting Ready For Christmas!

We are almost ready for Christmas. We have the tree up and even have lights on it. No decorations though. We figured the girls will just pull them down and break them. The ornaments we put on the tree are ones that we have collected during the 6 1/2 years we have been married. Every place we go visit, we get an ornament to remind us of that place. Our tree is usually a hodge podge of different colors and themes. We will put up the stockings on Christmas Eve. If we put them up any sooner, the girls will just pull them down on top of themselves. It is safer this way. Here are a few pages that I just finished. Again, let me know of any mistakes. Thanks to all of you that have told me mistakes in the past.



Where does the time go?

Where in the world does the time go? We have been keeping really busy. I can't believe how long it takes to unpack when you have two little "helpers". When we moved to Ohio, we were unpacked within two weeks. We are not even close to being done and it has been over a month! I have been trying to keep up with the pictures since I want to print out their first year baby book soon. That is going to be my Christmas present to myself.

The girls have had a lot of firsts last week. Bethany figured out the sit'n'spin, they both figured out how to put a peg in it's hole, and they started to hug each other when you tell them to give each other loves. It is really adorable when they get really enthusiastic about it and end up falling down!  Those pictures will come shortly. We are still working on getting a good picture with just the right angle.

Here are the pictures that I have done so far, there are so many to do..... please... please let me know if you see any misspelled words or phrases as I want to print them.

Happy Birthday/Halloween

The girls first birthday came and went. We are still living in the TLF so it made it a little difficult to make and decorate a cake for each of them. I managed to do it without buring them too bad in the cruddy stove they have here, also since I had none of my cake decorating supplies, and the pans I used to cook the cakes in were pyrex storage containers, I think I did pretty good. Sorry it has taken so long to get pictures up. The internet here is so slow. Just uploading these pictures today I have to put one up, close the post, reopen it to edit it, then add another picture. It won't let me do them all at one sitting. Very frustrating.

Melody loved the new taste of cake right away while Bethany wanted to play with the icing. Once she got a taste though, she wanted more.

 They loved opening up their gifts. (those pictures will come later). They got some adorable bath toys from Auntie Michelle, some big girl cups and plates from Grandma Jutras, fancy dresses from Yay Yay, and ,I can't believe I did this, but Joe and I got them some noise maker toys. We hear the train noises all day long, hopefully they will at least learn how to sing the alphabet song from it.  I was going to take it back, but just take a look at their faces on the train. I just couldn't bring myself to take it away from them.

 For Halloween, I let Joe choose the outfits. Since the girls were just a couple months old, Joe has been singing and playing the Manah manah songfrom the Muppets to them. We desided since this might be the last year we can pick their outfits before they want to be princesses, we dressed them up the way daddy wanted them to be.
