Xmas Morning

We had a wonderful Christmas with the boys. They enjoyed all of the toys (once they figured out how to open them). Of course we ended up unwrapping 80% of them and let them tear the rest off. I have a feeling it will be very different next year. Thank you to all of our friends and family for the wonderful gifts. You spoil us so! We love you.

The Trouble With Twins

I realized the problem with giving two eager children a bath tonight by myself. Apparently I wasn't changing Linc fast enough for Mr. C since he decided to get in clothes and all.

Just What The Xmas Tree Was Missing

Left my closet door open yesterday and came home to this added ornament to the tree. Just what the tree was missing, a sandal.

Yep he's ours...

....Linc loves holiday cookies with chocolate. Yep he's a Wanderer. Not sure about Mr C who starts to chew them up and then spits them out. What's that about? Still up in the air about where he came from ;)

El...Mo...

We have a new love in the house thanks to Sesame Street. Mr El...mo. But it's more like the spanish version the way the boys pronounce it. So funny.

Santa 09

Somehow in our fog we call last year we didn't get to visit Santa with the boys, imagine that. So today we took them the first time. They did just fine, no tears at all. Too bad I was kind-of hoping to get the crying, get me off this weird guys lap. But nope. Just half smiles by the boys. But notice Santa has that "only 5 more days of this crap" look on his face? Maybe we'd have gotten better smiles from Santa 20 days ago.

Brusha..Brusha...

Mr. C Found the Dental Floss. Looks like he already knows how to use it too.

Minnesota Children's Museum

The boys spent a Sunday afternoon at the Minnesota Children's Museum with our friend Shannon and her little girl. They have a great area for little kids to run around and explore. as you can see Mr. C at one point just gave up he was so tired.

Ahoy ye Matey

No trip to Thanksgiving is complete without a trip to Long John Silver's. Here the boys are getting introduced for the first time.

"What's That You Say Son?"

Not sure what your evenings at home are like, but ours goes a lot like this. Actually he says this non-stop all day whenever he thinks he can get one. Can you tell Mr C isn't as game.

Thanksgiving Trip To The Zoo

During our trip down to Kansas for Thanksgiving we took the boys to the Wichita zoo. Mr C. yelled daddy when I out him in front of the Bronze Gorilla (seriously I couldn't make this up), the meerkats seemed to like the boys and came right up to the glass to investigate. And we paid a dollar to hold hay for 15 minutes while the giraffe's ignored us. good times.

Green Giant Approved

Andy gave Mr. C a green bell pepper to keep him occupied when we went grocery shopping last night. We both thought he might take a bite, and then just play with it, but nope he hate about half of it! I tell you I would have lost that bet. Glad he likes his veggies.

We Just Help Ourselves Thank You

Apparently if you leave two babies alone for 5 minutes with pretzels and soda on the table will help themselves. Funny thing is they drip the sippy cups everywhere when you give it to them, but some how they were able to get the huge cup with soda down and drink from it without spilling a drop. Hummm....I feel a conspiracy theory starting.

The Devil Made Us Do It...

What other explanation could there be for this?

Bath Babies

Our crazy little bath babies. Boy do they love water.

Halloween 2.0

The boys 2nd Halloween went over really well. They seemed to think the outfits were silly and weren't instantly crying to get the off. So over all I think it was a success. Now just wait till they have an opinion on what they want to wmear.

Me Too

Cooper has started to walk, watch the video to the end, someone isn't too thrilled. Oh and sorry it's a tad blurry.

Morning Surprise!

I got an unexpected surprise this morning. I was about to leave for work when I heard a thump and then some crying. I went into the boys room and tried to open the door and it hit Linc in the head. Um yeah that’s not where we left him last night. I guess he can now get out of his crib at will. And well I’m afraid that's straight down head first onto the floor. Luckily we have carpet on the hardwood. Needless to say Daddy’s job today is to lower the crib before someone ends up in the emergency room with a broken arm or fractured skull. I think we’re raising monkeys!

Sunday Tradition Alive and Well

Before babies we use to lay around, eat pizza and watch football on Sunday's. Well it looks like the babies are on board. They loved the pizza but seem too busy for the football. Maybe in time they'll learn.

Just Walking

Linc is a little walking fool these days. He's got the hang of it and there's no turning back. But Mr C. still thinks he can crawl faster.

The Word Of The Day Is NO!

Pumpkin's and Apples

We also stopped by this great Apple and Pumpkin farm we stumbled upon. The boys had fun playing in the pumpkins and on the farm equipment. Can't wait to make an apple crisp with the honeycrisp apples we got. Yummy.

A Fall Drive

We took a drive up north to Taylor's Fall for some root bear, deep fried green beans, and fall colors.

Thank You!

Thank you to all of our wonderful friends and family who donated almost $300 in new books for the boys birthday. We dropped them off at the Stillwater Lakeview hospital foundation this week. They were overly thrilled and touched to receive them. Thank you so much!!!!!
