Memorial Day weekend!!














































Well I've been trying to keep up on the blog, so here goes! :) We went up to my parents cabin in Island park over Memorial Day, it was so nice to get away for a bit, the twins slept the whole ride up so that was nice! They had a blast, they went up to Big Springs and fed the fish,although Luke was trying to jump in w/ the fish so I was a bit nervous around all that water! Also my parents are building a big new house across the street from the other one that is all "grandkid friendly", anyone that knows my mom knows she's all about the grandkids...(you'd think she had like 50,and she only has 4!) Lol! So the twins went over there to look around and check things out.They got to finish off the day w/ a bath in Grammies HUGE tub, which they loved also! One of the other days that we were in town they played in the playground w/ their cousins Atlee and Dax (although none of those pics turned out) it's so hard to get good pics these days, which I say all the time!
As far as a "Twinner update" they are 17 1/2 months old, and we have conquered the biggest challenge that I have yet to face, 3 days ago they said goodbye to their bottles!!! I threw them away,w/ the help of my mom! ;) The picture in the carseats was on Sat. and they had their last one on Tues.!They are doing great w/ out them, I think it was harder for me than them,but my goal was by their 18 month appt. to not have them at all anymore...so we've made it!! They are such big kids now!! (A little cranky these last few days,but we're getting better)! :)
P.S. Sorry, there are alot of pics and they are in No order!!! It takes me to long!! ;)

Mother's Day Weekend and a Twinner update! :)














































Well I've been meaning to do a "Twinner" update for awhile now, and then it was Mother's Day so I guess I'll just combine it all! Mother's Day was great we took the twins to the zoo and park, they had a great time, although they seemed to be more interested in all the people and kids than any of the animals, although when they saw the big Yak, they both started to "moo" because I guess to them it looked like the cows we have in our back yard, (which I think it looked like a cow to, so I don't blame them!) ;) We thought maybe we should let them out of their stroller for a bit, but then they were running crazy all over the zoo, so that didn't last long! It was a wonderful Mother's Day and I'm so thankful to have Trav and the twins, I feel so lucky to be their mom and I always hope I'm doing a good enough job! Thanks for the wonderful Mother's Day guys!









I posted some other pics of some funny stuff the twins are up to these days also! It's so funny to watch them push each other around on their little cars, they laugh at each other so hard! I love it! Luke is my daredevil and into EVERYTHING, I came into the living room the other day and there he was on my table throwing all the decorative balls and candles off and down to Mia! He pulls the pillows off the couch and stacks them by the table and climbs right up! Also I'd have to say the thing that keeps me and Trav in absolute laughter is how much they LOVE to dance! Whenever their is music of any kind they both start dancing, the picture is of them dancing to the Ellen show...they LOVE her! When her show comes on they run up to the TV and are going crazy and staring and pointing and dancing, it's hilarious! They are getting funner and funner by the day! Everyday is something new,Luke now points at me when he knows he's doing something wrong and then goes "no,no,no", it's so cute, I forget what the heck I was "no-ing" him about in the first place! Ok, well this is turning into a long post! :)
