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! :)

Happy Easter!! LOTS of pics!! :)

Let me first start this off by saying, there's ALOT of pics and they are really not in any order, I was trying to do it as fast as I could! Sorry! And some of the pics are really just as good as I could get at the time, I cannot get 2, 15 month olds to do anything at the same time let alone pose for pics! Oh well! We had a great Easter and Easter weekend! On Sat. I took Luke to his friend Jaxon's 5th B-day at Leo's, he had a great time, he loved his goodie bag, it had candy necklaces and bubble's, he was in heaven!!! He even came home and shared w/ Mia, who stayed home w/ Trav! Trav has still been battling the flu off and on since Mexico, so he had Easter morning w/ us and then me and the twins drove up to Island Park to have Easter w/ my parents and my brother Kevin and his wife Ashley and my niece and nephew Atlee and Dax. We also celebrated my brother's 28th B-day,(wow I can't belive he's 28!) and my mom's 59th B-day,which is this Sun. The twins had a blast getting into their Easter baskets and presents! We got them a little sink w/ a real running faucet, (which is DEFINITELY an outside toy!) and they got a Little Tykes picnic table,which Luke just likes to stand on top of for now! Oh well, whatever keeps them entertained! They loved the Easter eggs and toys up at my mom's and playing w/ their cousins! Although Kevin's dog Trigger was up there and for some reason this time Luke was so terrified of him! It was so sad, and Trigger is the sweetest old lab,but Luke wanted nothing to do w/ him and he's been around him before, so go figure, I guess it's just another "phase" they go through! :) We missed having Trav up w/ us,but we brought him his Easter basket and some leftovers when we got home! All in all it was a nice laid back Easter, and I just kept thinking back to last Easter when the twins were still these little preemie twins, they were only about 10 weeks last Easter, and this year they were running and playing everywhere, it's amazing the difference a year makes! They are the funnest little people these days and we are so thankful! Hope everyone had a very Happy Easter!! Love, Us :)

Happy 31st Birthday Trav!! :)

So yesterday was Travis's Big 31! Wow,we're gettin old! We had a pretty low key day, of course the weather has been awful, but we did venture out to Babe's to get the big cheesecake that I ordered for his Birthday, which we've both been kind of sick so it didn't really get eaten last night! We did put candles in it and Trav let the twins watch and try to blow them out! They were so amazed! So just wanted to post of few pics of my hubby and tell him on his special day what a wonderful, fantastic husband and dad he is and how much we appreciate all he does for us! Thanks babe, you're the best! Hope you had a Happy Birthday! We love you! Bec, Luke,Mia and Macy!!! xoxoxox

A Twinner update...15 months old!!!!

Well the twins had their 15 month Dr. appt. on Wed. so I thought I'd post some updates on them! :) Little Mia weighed in at 19 1/2lbs. and 29 3/4 in. long, putting her in the 25% for height and the 5% for weight,( I guess she's gonna be skinny,so she must get that from her dad's side)! ;) Luke weighed in at 22 1/2lbs. and 31in. long,putting him in the 50% for height and the 25% for weight, so they are still small for their age,but doing great! They are getting a ton of teeth lately,even molars, so they've been a little grouchy lately to say the least! They are running everywhere and into everything! We had some great weather a little while ago so they LOVED playing outside and on their toys and loved when Trav took them for a ride in their wagon! They are getting to be the funniest little people I know, I laugh at them everyday over something funny that they do! Mia is sure learning to be tough due to Luke tackling her and playing rough w/ her all the time! They are my bestest little buddies in the world!! I am so lucky to have them both! :)

The Twins are Famous...well kinda!! :)

So as a mom I have to brag a little! I'm sure not to many out there suscribe to Twins Magazine, but of course when I new I was having twins I suscribed to anything I could possibly suscribe to that would maybe help! ;) Well they always ask anyone to send in non-professional pics of twins and maybe they will end up in the magazine sometime, so last year I sent in a pic of the twins, at the time they were about 7 months old I think. Anyways I never heard anything since, and the magazine only comes out like every 3 months I think. Well about 2 weeks ago I got an e-mail saying that Mia and Luke were in the current issue of the magazine!! Of course I had to order like 5 extra copies for family and to save for them one day! :) So if anyone does get the magazine they are on page 41, it's not a huge pic,but it was still pretty cute to see them in there! They were SO bald is all I thought! ;) (not that they have much hair now)! So Congrats Mia and Luke on your first magazine picture!!! Love you both! :)

Our trip to Zihuatenejo,Mexico!

So me and Trav were able to go to Mexico last week for about 9 days, for an insurance trip. We were having a great time the first few days, there was another couple from here in Idaho Falls that we knew that went to, so that made it even better! Our resort was wonderful, each suite had it's own infinity pool, so you really never needed to leave your room!...well that ended up being a great thing for Travis! We jetskiied in the ocean, went on a snorkel trip and just relaxed! Until about day 3, then Trav (it was his first time in Mexico to) :( got SOOOO sick! We actually all got a little sick, but poor Travis was on his death bed! The resort sent a Dr. and we actually both got a shot of antibiotics, I felt much better, but not Trav! We got home yesterday and he's headed to the Dr. again today and he vows to NEVER return to Mexico again! Ha! We'll see, but as of right now I'll believe him, we're gonna be sticking to Maui forever!!! :) It was still nice to getaway, but it also REALLY makes you appreciate what you have! We also REALLY missed the twinners! Thanks to my mom and dad for being such great grandparents and watching them the whole time! The twins acted like they didn't even know who we were when we came through the door....sad! But when I gave them their Mexican toys I brought home for them all was forgiven! :)
