Twins Easter Social

Well here's our story.........Looking oh-so-precious in their cute little light pink capri outfits, I decided that I would take the girls to the Mom's of Multiples children's Easter Social and egg hunt. It was in the back yard of a beautiful home. Lots of open space, twins of all ages everywhere picnicking with their mommy and daddy's. Beautiful day, perfect for this social. I stroll the girls over to a perfect picnic spot next to some friends and decided to let the girls out of the stroller. I then proceeded to spread the blanket down and turned around to find Kailyn about 20 yards away already in a huge mud hole. Another mom ran to her, pulled her out. The Capri's to her precious outfit were now a dark brown mud color and the white sandals that were on her feet for the very first time were now also dark brown. I didn't think to grab my camera before cleaning her up. As I am walking her back to our picnic area, I look up to see Kinley stomping in a water puddle, splashing mud everywhere.
Now, since we have only been there about 15 minutes, we need to visit the Easter bunny before things get any worse. Next, I sat them down on our blanket and started giving them food to just sit still. That didn't work, they thought it would be a better idea to mooch food from every ones' blankets. Then Kinley decided to steal a sippy cup from someone and took off running straight through a huge muddy garden trampling the poor mans crops. She turned around a giggled, of course everyone around laughed. Frustration is setting in about now for me and I'm wondering, why did I not ask Wayne to come since Landen's game was rescheduled at a later time?
I quickly grabbed Kailyn, strapped her in the stroller and another mom captured the garden run-away on the other side and escorted her back to the stroller as well. I was done with this event and packing up!!!! As I was leaving, it was time for the egg hunt for the 2 yr and under age group. Hummmm, do I dare let them loose again? I gave in and they loved gathering and eating the goodies in the eggs. I was exhausted!
Note to self, Daddy must attend if it requires them getting out of the stroller anywhere!

Easter Prep

I left the rabbit ears out for a week before Easter so the girls would get used to wearing them in hopes that I could get some pictures with them on. I think they liked their "hat", as they called it for about 30 seconds. Then they were off to something else!




Sweet Kailyn, drooling over her molars coming in. Then it was independent reading time. They love looking through books and babbling the whole time.

What a Nap!

One of my favorite times of every day is greeting the girls when they first wake up in the morning and after naps. I never know what I'm going to find when I walk through the door. It could be anything from jumping up and down 6 inches off the mattress, them playing peek-a-boo across the room with each other, all dolls and stuffed animals thrown all over the floor, very smelly diapers, or they have even mastered taking their shirts off. But today, it was absolutely beautiful "new hairdo's". I'm not sure what they did during this 3 hour nap, but it must have been a good one. Getting the camera was a must! And I left it like that.

P.S. I feel very fortunate they have not tried to take off their bottoms/messy diapers yet and repaint the room. I will die!!!! That will warrant a 911 phone call for Daddy to come home immediately!

Kinley still a little disoriented!

Playing together is so much fun!

Friends Birthday & Rodeo!

We celebrated Katie Beth (9) & Julians' (8) birthdays while they were here visiting for the Rodeo. The cakes turned out to be a hit for everyone and the kids loved playing with each other. We all spent a day at the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo riding the rides, eating, and educating ourselves on the farm animals. The weather was great, the twins were troopers, and we had a fantastic time!
