Baseball

Another favorite of mine is baseball. So the kids got their first taste of it at a Diamondbacks spring training game. Must admit, I think I saw one hit ( a 2 run double) and thats about it. The babies definitely need undivided attention at a place with so many people and so much room to move! Thankfully the Shepherds and Lennoxes were there also to help with the babies.

Books!!

I'm sure everyone has figured out how much I love books. Well, looks like the kids have picked up on it a bit too! They now have their own bookshelf with all the baby-safe books within reach. They love ripping all the books off the shelf and then sitting in the middle to read. It keeps them entertained for at least 30 minutes!

11 Months Old

Only a month to go before the big 1. Had to include some fun ones as they are so active now and rarely sit still for the camera. Its always good luck shots!

Recent Funny

No pictures this time but just a little funny story. Bill and I have been miserably sick for the last few days so we have an increase of kleenex boxes laying around. A couple days ago, I left the babies in their crib for a little while after they woke from a nap so I could get a nap. When I went to get them, Trenton was sitting with his back to me in a pool of white and an empty kleenex box in his lap. He had pulled the box off the dresser and littered his crib with the entire contents! Thankfully, Daddy picked up the mess. Today I tried to grab a kleenex from the box only to find they all came out together! I realize now that the cleanup process involved crumpling all the kleenex in a ball and shoving the ball in the box.

Visiting Papa and Grandma D!

Mom flew down to AZ and we drove back to CA together with the babies. Not too bad of a trip as they slept for half of it! We had a wonderful time and the twins loved getting spoiled by Papa and Grandma D. Daddy flew out two weeks later and we all drove back home, overnight of course! Thanks for a wonderful trip, Papa and Grandma D! See you in a few weeks!

Avila Beach

We finally got a sunny day and immediately headed to the beach. The babies were intrigued by the sand between their toes. It was also fun to swing right there on the beach. They were both full of smiles the whole time. When you get here, Daddy, its supposed to be sunny again so we can make another visit.

Daddy, We miss you!

We know its only been a couple of days but, Daddy, we miss you! See you soon! Love, Mommy, Trenton, and Emma

Uh oh!

Found the tupperware drawer!

Bathtime without Daddy

When Daddy isn't home for bathtime, I like to bath only one baby at a time. Poor Trenton was so upset that Sissy was getting a bath and he had to wait!
