January Birthdays

January is a big month for birthdays in our family! First off is my grandmother, Pogee. She turned 92 on January 15th!! Doesn't she look AMAZING for 92?? Happy Birthday Pogee...we are so lucky to have you in our lives!

On the 16th, we celebrated Michael's Dad, Sweet Pa's, birthday. We celebrated with pizza and birthday cake! Happy Birthday Sweet Pa...we love you so much!

And on the 29th, we celebrated my 32nd birthday! I told someone the other day that after 30, birthdays are not nearly as much fun...haha! I sure enjoyed my day though! Momo and Uncle Josh offered to keep C&H overnight so that Michael and I could go out for my BD. They had a blast and so did we! We went to Wiedekehr in Altus for dinner and were in bed by 9:30 and actually got to sleep past 7:30...it was heaven! Thanks again guys! That night my Mom had us over for dinner to celebrate my birthday and my BIL, Matt's birthday (Feb 1st). We had a yummy dinner again and enjoyed time with the family! Thanks to everyone who made my day so special!

Big Beds!

January 8, 2012 was a hard day for this Mommy! C&H told their cribs bye-bye and climbed up in the 'big beds' for the first time! Where has time gone...seems like yesterday they were a couple of weeks old in the pack-n-play by our bed...and now they are 3 in big beds! {sniff, sniff} They did wonderful with the transition and are loving their beds!

Giving their cribs hugs/kisses!

Last picture in cribs :,(

First night in their big beds...just look at those smiles!

They have done great with staying in their beds. One night I went in to check on them and found them in the same bed...my heart melted into a puddle right there! They love each other so much!

3 Year Checkup

On January 10, 2012 C&H had their 3 year checkup. They were above or right on track for everything! All I can say is that we are gonna have two tall kiddos!

Christmas 2011: Part 3-Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve was busy, busy getting ready for Santa's arrival! We had to bake cookies, put out reindeer food, get carrots ready for the reindeer, and tell Zippy and Zoe goodbye. C&H weren't allowed to touch them the whole time they were there until the last night...they were so excited to hold them and kiss them and tell them goodbye...until next year!
