What the boys have been up to

I never posted pictures of Trey and Easton's room... kinda random but I figure if I'm just posting a bunch of pictures I might as well include them. We aren't allowed to paint at our apartments so we got creative with stickers. And we were lucky that people offered their cribs to us and that they look almost the same! Simple and inexpensive... I think it's cute.


And now this is what the boys are up to!

Trey gets into just about everything... including Aunt Nichelle's bra :) He's so proud of himself


They play with cousin Carson

They hang out with Mommy all day long :)

They roll over onto each other

They are on Santa's naughty list because they get into their presents early

Trey loves the blinds and always seems to be in them

What cute babies! They keep me super busy these days but I sure do love it :) Today we are going to get pictures with SANTA! Wish us luck... I hope they like him!

6 months!

What on earth? I can't believe these babies of mine are already 6 months. They had their 6 month appointment the other day and are doing very well. Their stats are pretty much the same as they were at their 4 month appt. They have little little bodies and even bigger heads than they did last time :) Some fun things about Trey and Easton...

Both are rolling all over the place. Especially Trey. He seems to always roll over to our blinds to play with them.

Neither are sitting on their own yet, but I'm sure they will be very soon! (They've got big heads to hold up... it might take them a little longer than what's considered average)

We are all having lots of fun with baby food. They love eating it and I love feeding it to them.

They are for the most part sleeping through the night. Occasionally one or both will wake up for some reason. But we can handle 'occasionally.'

It's crazy how fast they are growing up. In just another short 6 months they will be 1 year! Ah!

Reunion

How lucky am I to be able to say that once upon a time I moved to Maui Hawaii with my best friend. And that we lived there for about 5 months. And that we had the greatest roomies ever. I LOVE my roomies so much. Getting together with them last night was the best... it had been far too long. This is something we need to do on a much more regular basis! (We missed you Nikki! Maui vacation better be in the planning....!)

Thanksgiving

I think Thanksgiving is a great Holiday, mainly because it is so simple. You spend the day with your family, eat great food (lots of it), and remember the things you are grateful for. There is no "hustle and bustle" to it or any stress. It's nice. We spent Thanksgiving with both of our families. This year I'd like to share with everyone what I'm grateful for... in no particular order :)


David. He is an amazing husband to me and the best daddy ever. He goes to school, works, and at the end of the day he is more than helpful with the babies. What a great guy.


Trey and Easton. They are the cutest ever. I couldn't have ever imagined how much I would love being a mom. They make us laugh and smile every day and are the greatest blessing in our lives.


The ability to have children. What a blessing.


Our families. Dave and I both have great families who we love to be with.


Our Moms. They do so much for us. Between the two of them... Trey and Easton experience something along the lines of Christmas several days a week.


Our friends. We have the greatest group of friends who we love hanging out with.


My girlfriends. I have been friends with the majority of them since elementary and middle school. Even though I don't see some as often as I did once upon a time I'm grateful for the lasting friendships :)

Alta Pines. I could moan and groan about Alta Pines any given day. But when it comes down to it I'm very glad that we have the rare opportunity to live somewhere rent free and so close to Dave's family. Basically next door :)


School. I could moan and groan about school as well. But it's great that we are both able to get an education and that one day we will be able to say we are college graduates! That's an accomplishment!


That Dave is able to provide for our little family. I had no idea I would ever think being a stay at home mom is so important. I Love it.


My body. Sometimes I'm capable of picking it apart. But it's fully functioning and healthy as can be! When it comes down to it, isn't that all anyone really wants out of a body???



On another note... I have never been shopping on Black Friday. Am I crazy? Everyone thinks I am, but I love my sleep too dang much. And... I feel like there's never anything I want to buy that would actually be on sale! So if clothes and sectionals are included in the amazing deals going on, let me know. Those are pretty much the only things I'd care to wake up at 5:00 in the morning for :) Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

Our first Thanksgiving as a family!

Rice cereal. Yum!

Feeding Trey and Easton rice cereal is one of my new favorite things to do. It can be quite the chore but it is beyond hilarious. Dave and I laugh our heads off every time. Easton cries every time he sees me feed Trey. And Trey somehow always manages to pull is bib, covered in rice cereal might I add, over his face. It's MESSY but always a good time :)
