Photo Shoot

After church on Sunday we went over to the bridge by our house in the hopes that we could capture some cute pictures of the boys. Earlier this spring I had the thought that I could save some money and take my own picture of the boys instead of paying someone for a professional picture. Well we know why they are professionals, not only can they take great pictures but they also seem to have the ability to control the kids. A trait that is not possessed by me, Trevor or grandma and papa. They just got goofier as we went along. But we did have fun and we did get some cute shots of the boys. Here are a few, or maybe lots, of my favorites.

Doesn't it look like he is pinching Declan? And the look on Declan's face even resembles that!







And their attention span for pictures ended as they went running down the bridge with Papa.

It's not too often that Trevor and I get a decent picture of just the two of us.

I love this weather.

I'm not going to complain about the fact that it was almost 90 yesterday and that is supposed to be 90 today and again tomorrow. But holy crap....it's hot and I'm pregnant and it's only May 19th. Enough said.

It was so nice out last night that we let the boys do this.....





I'm fairly certain he is praying to God that he does not have to go back through that sprinkler. He's not a fan.

But this one the other hand couldn't get enough.


Note to self: A plastic sprinkler cannot withhold the weight of a 40 pound toddler.

He may just be taking a swing at me. Maybe.

A whole lotta catchup

Spring! It's here! I love spring. It smells good. It looks good. It feels good. It is the BEST season. Today we didn't get in the car to go anywhere, we didn't need to go to the store or Target or run any other kind of errand. We got in the bike and went to the park. Then we came home and had lunch on the deck with daddy. I love spring because it makes me appreciate being a stay at home mom even more. Days like today are simply the best! As you can see the boys were thrilled to be outside. So much stuff to climb on, so many places to run around and so much energy to use up!




I even tried to snap a picture of the boys by the river. They, along with most children I assume, have difficulty taking a decent picture. It either turns out serious and weird....

or goofy! Good thing they're so cute.


Tomorrow I will be 18 weeks. I feel MUCH better. Thank Goodness!! But man has this been the longest 18 weeks of my life. I've felt a few small kicks here and there and we have our ultrasounds scheduled for later this month (no we won't find out the sex). I must be showing enough or my neighbor is very brave. She came out on the porch today and yelled across the street wondering if I was pregnant. Good thing I was otherwise that would have been a major open mouth insert foot moment.

And some random photos I have to share.

Despite cutting off all his hair Declan still has the ability to sport some crazy hair.

Go Twins!


I was left alone this weekend for the WHOLE weekend. Yes you read that right...no kids, no husband, no poopy diapers (but we have had 6 between both boys since their return, I've changed and wiped all of them.), no early morning wakings, no tantrums, no whining, no PB&J making, no lego playing...you get the drift. It was GLORIOUS! My biggest project for the weekend was painting the bathroom. I don't really want to talk about it, let's just say I am NEVER painting a bathroom again. I love how it is turning out but it was one big pain in the butt and took me ALL DAY on Saturday.

And here's a sneak peek of our new blue bathroom. I'm still trying to put it back together and put everything back where it belongs so until that is done this will have to do. I'll hopefully be back later this week with some before and after photos of our new blue bathroom.

Spring time

Yesterday we took the boys down to Falls Park. It was 60 degrees! Please let spring be here fr good....no more white stuff.

We opened the car door and they went running. Declan's feet aren't even touching the ground he's going so fast.

The boys and I walked all over the rocks while daddy watched and took pictures.


Declan was sure to fill him in about walking on rocks. I think the story lasted 5 minutes. He's very detail oriented.

Oh what you can't do with some warm temps

I've been forced into the basement. Trevor insists on watching all 3 hours of Lost tonight. 3 hours? Really? So this is why ABC had to move Private Practice to Thursday nights. It's Lost mania in our house and I'm not a participant. And since my new addiction, the Wii Fit, is hooked to the same tv I'm forced down here to update the blog! So,lucky for you guys you'll get some pictures and a video to look at. Oh don't get me wrong this benefits me too.....I'll have time to play Wii at nap time tomorrow since I was planning on doing this then. My life is rough!

We got a Wii for Christmas and a Wii Fit this past weekend. I think its safe to say we're addicted and so are the boys. Tonight I was trying to teach Carson how to run with the Wii Fit. Check out the video....maybe he'll have Papa Cameron's running genes after all.



You'll be glad to know we haven't been stuck in the house in a Wii induced coma since Christmas. We've actually been outside sledding and playing in the snow quite a few times. Today the temp reached almost 40 degrees which in our neck of the woods is practically spring. While I know this warm streak won't last forever its nice to get out and not need 47 layers just to stay warm. Do you realize what little boys can do with such warm temperatures? It might as well have been 85 as far as they were concerned.

We played some baseball.

A diving catch!

Who needs a baseball glove? A regular glove is perfect!

We mowed the snow.

We also walked to the park. It was warm enough to climb all over the playground.

Go down the slides.

And go swinging.

Declan prefers being a bench warmer.

Oh but wait....he spots a patch of sand and rocks!

Nothing better then playing with sand and rocks. And no mittens since it was so warm out.

But eventually he retired from bench warming and went straight for the tunnels.

Come on Spring!!!
