O Tannenbaum!

*sniff*

Looks like Christmas is in the air! It's the time of year to take pictures for Christmas cards, put up decorations and shop 'til you drop! This is by far my favorite time of year to be thankful for family and give back to people who have given to you all year.......and this year is obviously extra special because the twins birthday is right after Christmas (followed by my birthday, of course)!

So, here's a preview of our Christmas pictures/the twins 11 month pictures....


















I LOVE the pictures we got! Memories preserved in pictures for a lifetime. Thanks to Dad (Grandpa) for taking them! Can't wait to get my Christmas cards out now!

Love,
Holly

How YOU doin'?

Oh, the pictures we get of our kids. Memories for them to look back on years down the road and reminisce on their childhood.

This was from this morning.........another 'Kevin doing'! He calls me into the kitchen and says to look at Jaxson. Here's what I saw:




Although he looks HELLA cute, I still feel bad for the little guy. Oh well, just another picture in our book of memories!

Jaxson...........is ..................walking!

Although he's not FULLY walking alone, he is taking steps which means, not before long, he'll walk unassisted.

10 Months!!!

Oh my gosh.........10 months!! Teeth are coming in like mad, feet are just about in sync to walk and the words are starting to form better. I don't know if I'm ready for my babies to grow up but ready or not, they are!

Happy 10 months to my little boogers!

Love,

Happy Pumpkin Day!

Since the boys are kinda sick, we foregoed trick or treating this year with them. We still dressed them up in their costumes and took their 10 month pictures.........and a new family picture!

Here's what we got:

Jayce (as an octopus)


Jaxson (as a sea turtle)







I managed to get a few smiles out of them but since they are teething AND sick, it just wasn't a great combo!

As far as updates, the boys are still ready and willing to walk. In the past 2 weeks, each of them have taken a step by themselves. They also stand unattended for small periods of time. Won't be long before they are walking!

Both are equal with teeth now. The boys have 7 teeth each and the 8th is just making it's way through. We are giving them more and more solid foods. They LOVE mashed potatoes and apples. This week we also gave them some of our chicken. They loved that, too!! Tomorrow we are going to try spaghetti-o's! We'll see how that goes.....

Kevin and I FINALLY got a gym membership to the YMCA! In January new swim classes start so we are going to sign up the boys FOR SURE! They love the water and if we were so busy today, we'd already be there swimming with them. There are so many things we can do there with them to have them interact with other kids their age. Since they are at home all day while we're at work, it'll be nice to get them out every week, at least once, to play!

Before I end this post, I'll leave you with a video of Jaxson crawling in his costume! TOO FUNNY!

Fall or Summer??

Our annual pumpkin farm trip took place today and I had a hard time figuring out if it was fall or summer?? It was about 80 today and we only last about 2 hours. I expected to at least make it to the pumpkin patch but we only made it to the apples and then home! Oh well, there's always next year!

Since I knew we were going today, I held off on taking the boy's 9 month pictures as well!! Man, am I glad I waited. They turned out C-U-T-E! Before I make the reveal, here are the boys doctor updates:

Jaxson: 20lbs 1oz and 27 1/4" (currently has 4 teeth, one on it's way in)
Jayce: 20lbs 12oz and 27 1/2" (currently has 6 teeth, more on the way but can't see where yet)

















We had such a great time at the pumpkin farm that I'm already thinking about next year. Hopefully it's not as hot next year though!!

Love,
Holly
