Pool Fun!

While we were in FL in June, I asked Michael to grab a small pool that we could take down to the beach and fill up for C&H. He came home with this huge blow-up pool. Needless to say, it would have taken us forever to blow-up & fill up this on the beach, so we decided just to bring it home & enjoy it in the back yard! C&H loved it! It was the perfect size and depth for them! We played in it for about a week before one of the cats jumped up for a drink & popped a hole in it! We had to throw it out after that, but I just found these cute pics that I never shared!

Wrestling...

C&H have started 'wrestling' lately! Their giggles just melt my heart!

20 months old!!

Today, our little babies turned 20 months old!

In 4 short months, they will be TWO! I can hardly believe it!

I recently heard about a local church that opens their indoor playground to the everyone. We decided to try it out & it didn't disappoint! I wish we would have known about it during this tremendously hot summer we have been having! We will be back! Cooper LOVED climbing up & down the slides and Hadley gravitated towards the baby in the room! Out of all the kids in the room, I could easily spot (or should I say hear) my two children...C&H ran around squealing at the top of their lungs! They were in HEAVEN!

Happy 20 Months Cooper & Hadley!!!

Mommy & Daddy ❤ you!!!

Play-doh!

One morning last week, I decided to pull out some play-doh I had recently bought and to see how C&H liked it. I brought the high chairs into the playroom so that they could watch TV & play at the same time. All Cooper wanted to do at first was to eat it and got really upset with me after several 'no-no's from Mommy, but eventually figured out that you just play with it & he dug right in! Hadley loved it too! I turned Sesame Street on & they sat there for about 1 1/2 hours playing with play-doh & watching TV! I was amazed that it kept their attention that long! We'll definitely be doing it again soon!

Our Day!

We had a great day today...nothing on the agenda, just a day at home with our little family! Here are some cute pics of our day!

Playing outside!

Eating spaghetti for dinner...

Bath time fun...they love to pour water on each other's head!

Brushing our teeth...

Holding hands on the way to bed...

All ready for bed...Nighty-night!

Pool Playdate!

Yesterday we met up with some friends at a local pool for a little play date! S&W are some of C&H's 'twin friends'!! You may remember them HERE!! Haven't they all grown up so much??? We had such a fun time swimming in the morning, eating lunch, and we were home in time for naps! We will definitely be meeting up again before summer is over!

This was the best I could do of all 4! They were done with swimming by this point & ready for lunch!

W & Hadley

S&W...aren't they adorable???

The boys taking off & exploring!

Thanks Polly & S&W for inviting us to the pool!

Our Grandmothers

One day last week when C&H were in Mother's Day Out, I took my grandmother and Michael's grandmother out to eat lunch! We all had a great time and I really think they really enjoyed visiting with each other! I can't tell you how much these two women mean to me! They are both 90 years old & so full of wisdom...I seem to learn something new every time I talk to them! They are C&H's only living great-grandparents & I am so thankful they are getting to know them!

A Little Accident!

We had our first encounter with a permanent marker on Saturday morning! Hadley found a red marker while I was out of the room, and had fun coloring her hands & feet and luckily, not her pajamas, the furniture, or her face!! It was fun until she got in trouble when I saw what she had done...from then on she kept crying & saying 'boo-boo' like she had blood all over her hands!

I guess she wanted those little piggies painted!! :)
