Thank you, Thank you and THANK YOU!

Just wanted to thank everyone who came and celebrated the twins 1st birthday with us. We all had a blast and it ended way to early (thanks to an early bedtime!). Thank you cards will be going out as soon as I find a moment but in the meantime, we just wanted to thank all our family and friends!

1st birthday success..........

I can't believe one year is already gone and done with the twins! They are truly now 'little men' and although it makes Mommy sad that they are growing up so quickly, I can't wait for the next phase of their life and another year to spend with them!

Here are some highlights from the party:

Birthday Boy, Jayce!

Birthday Boy, Jaxson!

If it weren't for the hair, they'd look identical!

Not a happy camper with the cake and singing 'happy birthday'

Jayce didn't mind as you will see here......

and here.......

and here (with his foot).........

and here (making fishy faces)!

Yummy cake!!

It was such a great day to spend with family and friends even though it was so hectic. The kids held up okay even though we were cutting it close to their bedtime. They didn't go right to bed like normal. They fought it a little but ended up falling asleep and then waking up again a few hours later and were out for the night. Now we just can't wait until tomorrow to play with new toys and go buy new ones that they wanted but didn't get!

As far as growth, not too sure on height/weight. They go on Jan. 7th for their 1 year check up and shots. I can tell you that Jayce has tooth #9 and #10 coming in and Jaxson just popped #8 a few days ago. They are talking more and more everyday as well and eating so many new foods. The latest is corn dogs! No new words since my last update on their growth but they are perfecting 'hello'. Jayce actually says 'hi guys'........or so it sounds!

Here's to a great 1st year with the boys and a happy new year filled with more memories!

Happy Hump Day!

We are 3/4 of our way through another short week!! I just thought I'd post a few pics to make everyone smile. As usual, my boys are such hams. You bring out the camera and they smile away. Hope you enjoy them........

The twins Christmas morning jammies!

Jayce LOVES his bubba!

Last but not least, our happy man Jax-Jax!!

Jaxson Walking

We now officially have TWO walkers in the house (and in a few days, we'll have TWO toddlers). Jayce has been walking solo for about 2 weeks now and Jaxson just picked it up yesterday. He's so cute when he walks!

More babies, you say?

After weeks of numerous discussions, my husband and I may have finally come to a conclusion on when to expand our family even more. Before I get to what our conclusion is, I really want to ask a few questions to the other multiple Mom's out there to get some necessary feedback before I keep our conclusion in place!

1) If you have multiples and another baby(ies), how far apart are they in age and do think that age gap is too big or too little??

Both my husband's siblings and me and my brother are 4 years apart and I think that may be too far of an age gap.

2) If you had a hard time getting pregnant with your multiples, was it easier or harder the second time around?

This is one of my fears that it will take a while again to finally get pregnant.

3) If you had a singleton the second time around, was the baby easier or harder to take care of than your multiples?

I have to admit, we are secretly hoping for another set of multiples. With 3 sets on my Mom's side of the family and 1 set on my husband's (not really a factor) and already having 1 set, I'm more likely to have another. Just wondering if we'd only have 1 baby, if it was easier or harder.

We have come to a conclusion to try after the boys turn 2 which is in a year. Basically sometime in 2012 (since the twins birthday is Dec. 31st and practically the new year anyway). I'm really hoping it doesn't take us over a year again because I want the children to be close in age but not TOO close.

Any feedback would be appreciated..............thanks multiple mommies!!

Beep Beep!

Jayce just acting like a goofball as usual. The boys are still sick but since they got their medicine, they have been back to normal!
