We Have A Leak!!!

No...not in the pipes but in something far more critical...the plastic pool! The twins LOVE the pool!

They love to eat their snacks in the pool.

They love to play games and sing in the pool!

They love to lounge in the pool.

They love to drink their bottles and watch cartoons in the pool.

It looks like the days in the pool are coming to an end.

Anyone know where I can buy a plastic pool in the winter?

Lunch Date

Today we left the snowy mountain to go down to the valley for lunch with good friends! We met Corinne & Pickle and Sarah & Cam at one of our favorite places...Del Taco! You know...the 1st Del Taco was in Corona, CA! They are my boys...both loved the food and chowed!

Suncrest Play Date

Yesterday we were invited to a play date! The family who hosted is in our ward...and they have six children...and their house was spotless. That is until Gage & Gavin ate lunch! Gavin loved sitting at the table with the big boys. Ken also entertained our two plus four neighborhood kids last night. He was requested to be a "Disney Dad" which meant he was supposed to be a ton of fun! Apparently, he succeeded! He is now all the rage in the hood!



The food was fabulous!

Saturday Night Pizza Party


Since the twins first started eating finger foods I've tried to follow the advice given by Ruth Yaron in the book "Super Baby Food." She writes, "Eating is an Important Learning Process - Self-feeding is important to your baby's physical development, eye-hand coordination, and manual dexterity. It is also important to her intellectual development. Allowing your baby to freely self-feed shows her that you have confidence in her abilities, which increases her self-confidence, independence, and self-esteem. Your tolerance, patience, and acceptance teaches her that the world is not a restrictive, formidable place and that she is free to be creative."

And with that I give you "Saturday Night Pizza Party" with Gage & Gavin. No restrictions and lots of creativity...I just wish Ruth was around to help me clean the floors!




Please Don't Kidnap My Babies!!!

Hi Friends & Family,

I'm going to finally jump in and start a Blog. I actually started one two years ago but didn't have a lot to say without Gage & Gavin in my life. My family really didn't want to hear about Cole. I started one again when the twins were born...but I was afraid someone would learn to much about us and try to kidnap my babies. I ask you please, please do not kidnap my babies! So...it is now 2008 and I have two 1 year old boys and I feel like if I don't document their daily activities I'll forget. And next thing I know they will be going on missions! I love, love, love reading blogs and I hope you will have fun reading this blog about my Joy x 2!
