What a difference 2 years makes!!! :)

So the Twinners had their 2 yr. Dr. appt. last week, so I thought I'd do a little "Twinner Update"!I CANNOT believe the difference in 2 years, I found the pic of them in the stockings the other day, and I couldn't believe how far they've come,from 2 little 4lb. babies, that could have easily fit into 1 mini stocking! The picture is Chrismtas Eve after they were born, the NICU nurses put them in the stockings for a picture! :) Now they are healthy, beautiful Twinners, that are into EVERYTHING, and talking up a storm! They are bestest little friends who love to be together! In fact I was getttng ready to seperate their rooms the other day, thinking maybe they'd like some of their own space....I was SO wrong, I could tell instantly that was not gonna happen, so who knows how long they will choose to sleep in a room together....I'm sure by the time they are in Highschool, those days will be a thing of the past! ha! ;) Our little Mia is still SO miniature...she weighed in at a whopping 22lbs...w/ a diaper on putting her in only the 3rd percentile for weight and 33in. tall, putting her up into the 25th percentile for height! Luke is doin a bit better weighing in at 26.2 lbs. in the 25th percentile and 34 1/2in. tall into the 50th percentile for height!Other than that, they are totally doing everything else 2 yr. olds do!! I can't believe me and Trav have two 2 year olds...here we go!! ;) They are a blast and we are lovin it......not enough to have any more babies,but still lovin the ones we have!!! ;) ha!

Happy 2nd B-day Twinners!!!! :)

Wow,I'm surprising myself by getting this post done a DAY after the Twins party,My Aunt and Uncle in Hawaii can't get the pics I send them through Kodak, so I'm keepin on my toes, so they can see the pics!! :) (thanks guys!)Soooo, the Twinners had their big 2nd B-day bash yesterday at Craigo's, they SOOOO wanted a Dora and Diego party...so I gave up on what I wanted, (I need to get over the fact that they get to pick and I don't! ;))ha! And that's what they got! :) They had tons of family and friends come to their party, and we all had a great time...minus a few setbacks of course! ;) They were totally spoiled, they got a whole bunch of Dora and Diego, and Elmo's, and a playdoh kitchen and dolls and trucks,vacuums,coloring books,baby laptops, and my parents got them a new wood swingset, (which they won't even get to see till Spring,oh the joys of a winter B-day,sorry guys!) But next summer I'm hopin they LOVE it! Thanks SOOO much to everybody that helped make Mia and Luke's B-day SO wonderful!!! We are so blessed to have such wonderful friends and family! I can't believe they are 2! Time flies,(don't get me wrong though, there are days when it seems like forever!ha!;)) Happy Birthday to my bestest little buddies in the world,we love you guys so much!!!! :)P.S. The pics are in no order, they are just random,sorry!:)

Family Pics 2009! :)

Well what I thought would be a smooth picture takin day,ended up going completely wrong! Of course, doesn't it always work out that way when we try to plan "family pics"! And the fact that I thought two 22 month olds would pose and hold still...not happening! ;) I wanted outside pics and that day was FREEZING and SO windy, poor little Mia's teeth were chattering! Tyra did a great job w/ us though, I'm amazed she got as many good pics of us as she did! Thanks again Tyra! Mia wouldn't let go of Travis on the outside shots,so I couldn't even get a pic of them together, and they wouldn't really hold still for a family pic!Luke was doin a pretty good job at the outside pics suprisingly enough,I just wish they'd BOTH be good at the same time...never happens! ;)Oh well, we'll take what we can get! Tyra was nice enough to let us come to her house a couple days after the outside shots to get a few more of the Twinners. I already posted most of these on Facebook,but for the blog followers...enjoy!!!

"Trunk or Treat"!!!! 2009! :)

So we headed to our church/neighborhood Trunk or Treat this year for Halloween, which ended up being a perfect place for the Twinners this year, it was early and only an hour long! :) We weren't to sure how they were gonna take to Halloween this year.:) Luke had been battling a little cold for a few days, so I was hoping he felt better and would have fun, which he did pretty well, he seemed to love his mouse costume, (which made me happy, cause he wasn't trying to rip the head off all night), and I'm kinda a freak about costumes and staying neat! ;) He did better than Mia did all night, she basically walked for about 2 seconds and then clung to Travis for dear life the rest of the night! Luke actually took his trick or treat bag to the trunks and got candy and then he'd say "thank you,welcome", he thinks that all goes together, which is so dang cute! I don't think I heard much out of them the whole night, they seemed pretty mesmerized looking at all the kids dressed up! We made an attempt at a family pic (thanks Brooke) but of course the twins aren't looking, oh well, we try! Hope everyone had a very Happy Halloween!!! :)Can't wait till next year!! :)

Wow!! Finally...an Argyle update! :)

Wow, so I guess it's been over 2 months since my last post...time flies! I finally sat down to post while the twins were napping today and the weather is SO cold! Just thought I'd post a little of what we'd been up to the last 2 months of summer, and throw some pics in to! I really plan on doing this more organized one day..but we'll see?:) Ha! The Twinners are now 21 months, I can't believe they'll be 2 at Christmas, they are the funniest little people I know! Little Mia is SUCH a girlie girl, LOVES shoes and clothes, (although I'm not liking that she's trying to pick her own shoes out,oh well I guess I need to relax a little, and say who cares if they don't match the outfit)easier said than done though.Luke is ALL boy, into everything and we always say Mia is gonna grow up SO tough, cause of Luke always trying to wrestle her and kinda pull her around. They are talkin up a storm (most if which I can't understand,but it seems like they understand each other), so it's all good! :) They are really funny to watch together, they'll hold hands and dance together and I about die of cuteness everytime! Love it! They love to ride their little bikes and have Trav pull them around in their wagon,and the riding lawnmower,and when the other kids in the neighborhood started school, they'll sit in the yard and watch the schoolbus, waiting for the kids to get dropped off.We've been to Island Park to see my parents a few times and up to Montana to my brother's house for my nephews 1st B-day party.Of course being from Blackfoot we hit up the State Fair, the twins loved the petting zoo! We've had some weddings and Trav's been a Best Man in one, and we've had some get togethers w/ friends and really just had a pretty laid back end of summer! We're sad to see the nice weather end...but excited for the Fall! :)P.S. Sorry the pics are just kind of in no order whatsoever! (that would take me WAY to long) Ha! :)

The Splash Park!...for the first time!

So last Fri. I took the twins...by myself,(well kinda), we went w/ my friend Nicole from up the street, and her 2 little girls, she has one about 6 weeks younger than the twins,Braelle, (one of Luke's many girlfriends,she's in one of the pics w/ him!)and a 3 month old, and her sister who was visiting from Wyoming. I thought the Rexburg Splash Park was so nice, I wish we had one here in Idaho Falls! I can't believe we don't! Anyways, I wasn't sure about how the twins would react, especially Mia, who always waits for Luke to do something before she does...I guess this actually makes her a really smart girl! Ha! But the tiny waterfalls were perfect for them! After awhile they actually seemed to really like it! They loved to watch all the other kids to. And the great thing was they actually stuck pretty close to me, so it wasn't hard to watch both at once! :) I'm looking forward to the next time we go!! :)

Happy 4th of July!!!

Well we had a pretty nice,low key 4th of July! My mom had been staying w/ us for the week, so we were sad that my dad wanted her back on the morning of the 4th! :( We went to our friend Chris's for a barbque, the twins were a little shy till they got to the backyard and saw the trampoline and the swingset and the playhouse, then they were in heaven! My camera died during the barbque,but luckily my great friend Cami saved the day w/ her awesome camera, so I'm using the pics she took instead of the ones I took!! :) After the barbque we just went home, we were both worn out from chasing the twins all day!:) Of course we didn't make it to the fireworks because I am the strict bedtime mom.....7:30!!!! Ha! :) Maybe next year I'll bend the rules and we'll watch the fireworks! Hope everyone had a Happy 4th of July!!! :)

A Twinner update at 18 months!!

Ok, so it's been a month or so since I've done any blogging! Wow, the summer is going by fast, so I thought I do a litttle update! We've just been hanging out this summer so far, the twins LOVE playing outside in their backyard and in their pool, I sometimes just let them play out there in the pool naked, naked babies are SOOO cute!! ;) and really w/ 2 it's just easier that way, then when they are done I can dress them and put them down for a nap! ;) A couple weekends ago they had a B-day party for their cousin at Leo's, which they had a great time and they loved riding those little 25 cent cars and toys that move. On this past Mon. (the 21st) they were 18 months, so we had their Dr. appt. that day also. I had to post the pics even though it was sad, I thought it was funny also, (no, I'm not a mean mom) But they were all happy in the waiting room and then the minute they got into the exam room, they were screaming!! The worst part about this was that I was alone w/ them!!!! My mom was in Chicago, and Trav had meetings he couldn't get out of, so it was just me, w 2 screaming 18 month olds, they were by far the loudest kids in the office!! And they didn't stop screaming till they were dressed and we were out the door! But little Mia weighed in at a whopping 19.6lbs. and was 30 3/4 in. tall, and Luke weighed in at 22.8lbs. and was 32 1/4 in. tall, they are both on the small side, 15 percentile and 25th percentile I believe. Hopefully one of these days they'll catch up!! They are getting so big, they are regular little kids these days, they love to play w/ each other. Luke is by far the leader, whatever trouble he's into you can bet Mia's right behind him, ( I think she just likes him to test everything out first) ,she plays it smart and safe!! That's about it for us, I hope everybody's having a great summer!! :)
