Memorial weekend 2011

How to sum up Memorial weekend of this year? Uneventful. Weather that I do not love. Wait... wait... let me rephrase that. Weather that I'm beginning to hate. Cleaning the apartment. Not even being able to go swimming. (That's the worst part.) And I think it's been summed up! Although, there was this one joyous event that took place... getting together with my roommates from Hawaii! This is the first time in a long time that we've gotten together and someone wasn't missing! All five of us were together and it is always such good times. We laugh and laugh and laugh, and pretty soon we have no idea why we are even laughing, but we keep laughing. And our husbands all sit and stare at us like we're a bunch of morons cuz seriously... nothing funny is going on. It's the best. I love these girls and the memories we have :)

First swim!!

I have been anticipating this day since Trey and Easton were born... seriously. And now I'm being tortured thanks to this weather. Yesterday when Dave got off work the weather had turned around a bit so we decided to hit up the pool. It wasn't perfect, but good enough to swim for a bit. We purchased so many things for the pool this summer, swimsuits, rash guards, floaties, life jackets... and I've been so excited to put everything to use. I don't know what I was expecting... that our babies would be "water babies?" That they were born to swim???

It's safe to say that Trey hates swimming. And Easton tolerates it. hahaha. But ya know... it's all good. I realize it's something they will have to get used to. And they will get used to it. (Especially since I am their mother and live at the pool during the summer.) We have until September to make them realize swimming is fun!! I'm sure they'll love it in no time! :)

Us.

I feel like I never take pictures of Dave and myself together any more. Looking back on the past year, I bet 95% of our photos are of Trey and Easton. And some of them include Dave and myself. Which is just great because who wouldn't want a million pictures of their sweet babies? We went to Liberty Park today and I made sure we took a picture of us. Because... well... because it's nice to look back at pictures of just us. I like pictures of me and my dear sweet husband together. So we made progress today! Now if only I can make sure to take pictures of us when I've actually washed my hair, done my hair, and applied a bit of makeup... ;)

eleven

I'm late on this 11 month mark. (Better late than never though!) So now that Easton and Trey are 11 months old they both have two teeth that have come in. Both of them have two bottom teeth. They are pulling themselves up onto everything and figuring out how to get into everything!!! It's chaotic sometimes but it's so much fun. They are both so sweet and lovable and I'm so lucky to be their mom. It's crazy to me that they are almost 1 year old because they are still so small and seem so baby-like to me. Maybe once they are walking I will actually feel like I have toddlers on my hands! Here's to 11 months! :)


They love getting into their drawers or the laundry basket and pulling out all their clothes!!

Blog envy

Does anyone else have blog envy? Like, do you ever read someone's blog and just love it? Love how they write. Love how they express themselves. And then wish your blog was more like theirs? Cuz I sure do! There are two blogs that I envy, but I shall not name them. One is on my list of friends. I love her blog because she writes so well, and shares such personal stories, but doesn't do it in a manner that makes you feel uncomfortable. She shares the funniest little things about her cute little family, and it seems they are always doing something fun! And she does such a great job at blogging about all of it!

The other blog I envy belongs to someone not on my friends list, but I do know her from High School. She could blog about anything, like, the dumbest most pointless thing ever, and I'm still interested in reading about it. She also writes very well and she makes her blog funny to read. On top of that... she has this really creative take on photography. She's not a professional. But she seems to take pictures of just about anything. I definitely envy her blog the most. I wish I could blog every day and make my life seem interesting like this girl does. But unfortunately, everyone who reads my blog would die of boredom if I did that. It would go something like this... "Today I woke up. I went to the gym. I ate. I changed babies diapers all day. I hung out with babies. I was really excited when Dave came home from work. We ate dinner. We watched some T.V. We read. We went to bed." Then the next day, I would just sign into my blog, copy, paste, and TA-DA! I'd have my blog written for that day. And the next... and the next... so this girl's blog is awesome because like I said before, everything about it is so creative, and I completely envy it! :)
