Umm Excuse Me? Where Did My Babies Go?

   Seriously what happened to my tiny babies? Last year at this time my babies where so tiny. They ate every two hours. They had me up at all hours of the night. In ways they were much easier. It was easier to pick them both up because they weighed 1/5th of what they do now. It was easier for me to get things done because they slept a lot more and I could just set them down in their bouncy seats or pack-n-play. They didn't move around like they do now that's for sure. Now I am constantly saying no and chasing them around. At least now they sleep through the night. Even though I feel like they are a lot harder to take care of now that they are mobile and into EVERYTHING and I do mean EVERYTHING, I wouldn't change them for the world. They are so much fun! Everyday I get so excited seeing all the new things they can do. They never cease to amaze me. They are so eager to learn. I love teach them. There is no better reward than seeing them do something new. I am so thankful for them! As much as they drive me crazy at times, I would never change anything about this life! They make me so happy. Even though I miss those tiny little newborns. At times I even miss being pregnant and their little kicks and hiccups. I wouldn't change this for anything! Just today Sophie sat in the floor for about 10 minutes stacking blocks and, when we were on the way to the grocery store she was turning the pages in her book and rambling as if she were actually reading. Aleah has a new thing where she stamps her feet during "If your happy and you know it". She used to clap the whole time and now she stamps her feet! It's too cute!  I am so very proud of them! Yeah I miss those babies but this whole toddler thing is so much fun! Here are a couple of pics of them from last year and a couple of pics of them from today:

Jack's 3rd Birthday

   Our little Jack is growing up to be such a big boy. He even got to drink water out of a big boy cup on his birthday! I am in total disbelief that he turned 3. I guess it's true what they say, time flies when you're having fun!
   Meme planned an awesome birthday party for Jack if I do say so myself. It was called "Camp run-a-muk"! There were smores, swimming, trail mix, a pinata and more! It was such an awesome party for such an awesome 3 year old little boy!
Jack with his new bike!
Look at this awesome cake!
So detailed!
Even the inside of the cake is awesome!

My poor babies were long over due for a nap!
What kind of party would it be without a pinata!

   What a great party! I still can't get over Jack turning 3! He is growing up too fast! I am so happy we got to spend time with Jack and the whole family last week. It was a much needed vacation for all of us. Now I just need a vacation minus the babies. If only.....

Vaction to Cushing Park

   July 5th the girls and I went to Canton, Ga to a place called Cushing Park. We were welcomed by Uncle Dan, Auntie Meme, Auntie Kk, G and Jack Blu. They had been there for a couple of days before we got there. We had a nice vacation leading up to the day of Jack's 3rd birthday party at the end of the week. Josh of course was at work for the first few days, but he came up for the last part of the week.
    Kk and G stayed at the pool all day everyday. Which is where I would've been too, but Al and Sk have to have their two naps everyday or Mama will go crazy dealing with two cranky babies all day. Anyway, here are a few pics from our fun-filled vacation!

All the girls and Jack at the pool

Look at this cutie!

How cute is she in her little life jacket!

This girl loves to swing! She would sit here all day!

Yep! This is how we roll to the pool! Pack-n-play and all!
Sk loves to sit and play in her own little pool!

   As you can tell we had a blast! I was glad to come home and get back in a routine but honestly I could've stayed forever. I'm kind of sad it's over!
   Next I will have pics from Jack's birthday so stay tuned. You're gonna wanna see his awesome cake!

4th of July 2011

   This is about to be a bunch of pictures from the 4th of July! We also had a little mini birthday party for my niece Savannah. She turned 8 on the 3rd. We had so much fun that day. We had two kiddie pools, sprinklers, a slide and water table set up under a canopy. The kids had so much fun!

Aren't their ruffles cute?
This girl can never be still!

Happy 4th Mommy!
