Ok so it's been FOREVER but I see nothing has changed

Petting zoo.

Of course we took Clifford with us!



Well, the last time I did a post like 8 months ago, Luke was potty training. HAHAHAHA...he is STILL potty training...Oh my, we haven't come real far.

Here are some pictures of our trip to Phoenix that we took over Spring Break to see Jon's grandmother. Yes, the plane ride was interesting at times, the time change was fun with 3 3 and under, but the memories and the special times made it ALL worth it! GG Roma loved seeing Luke again and meeting the twins. We loved spending lots of special time with all of Jon's family, aunt, uncle, cousins. We also got to spend time with my family who HAPPEN to be going out there at the same time. We stayed in Sedona with them for 2 days, and my mom actually flew with us out there. So that was neat that it all worked out. They went on to do hiking and stay at a ranch. Sorry it has been so long. I'm not sure anyone even looks at this anymore.

Almost 1!!

Luke on the Potty while daddy is reading to him. Trust me, he will be 5 before he is potty trained:o)
Luke and daddy shaving together!
And of course, HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

This is Cow Appreciation Day, it was the best we could do!

Happy July 4th, best picture I could get!

EK, can you get any closer?

Fun finger painting!
Oh, Luke goes from shaving to putting on makeup:o)
Luke LOVES to talk on the phone to anyone that will listen!!

Thought I would post a few things before the big birthday in 2 weeks! I can't believe it has been a year. Doesn't seem possible. It has been BUSY and FUN!! They are so much fun right now! The are pulling up on everything and crawling EVERYWHERE, and anytime i accidentally leave the laundry door open, they are up the stairs in a flash. I have truly hardly had time to take pictures and I"m sad to say I will not have very many of them from 8-12 months. It is so hard to even grab my camera and when I do they do NOT cooperate. But, I mangaed to take some pictures of July 4th, Cow appreciation day (as you can see, Luke was NOT having this) and just cute random ones. Enjoy!

OK, So it has been a LOOONG time

Babes are crawling and Jon works all the time, need I say more!! Here are some updated pictures. The last one is of Jon's car. He was in a wreck. Sitting at a red light and got hit from behind, someone going about 55mph. He is FINE...not even sore, Praise God! So, we are down a car:o(

Luke is going to be the next AMERICAN IDOL

Luke takes everything he can and uses it as a microphone. He was used his spanking spoon, his drumstick, and in this video, his block. He is quite the entertainer.

Happy 7 months!

These pictures were taken weeks ago, but here is an update. First ones are Valentine's Day. Stuck in there is a picture of them with hats someone made. In the middle is my crazy girl. And at the end is my birthday.

Another video

So, Luke is my jokester and has such joy, loves having fun and is ALWAYS laughing. He has figured out real quickly that Emma Kate will laugh at all his jokes and laugh right along with him. Lately, he has been VERY into the babies and playing with them like never before. I catch him joking around with Emma Kate and doing everything he can to make her laugh (which isn't hard). We call her giggles. By the way, Ryan is adorable, but very serious like his daddy! haha, can't imagine who Luke and Emma Kate take after. So here is a fun interaction between EK and Luke. See if you can understand Luke saying, "Funny Kate"

Ok, so it has been a while

The twins turned six months 4 days ago, Luke turned two on January 9th. I will hopefully post pictures of Christmas, birthday, etc. But for now, here are some videos of the twins eating cereal for the 1st time The first video is Luke eating cereal at 6 months. He was very anxious. The twins on the other hand are enjoying their daily milk and that is enough for now. They are not into cereal AT ALL. Ryan turns his head and gags. Emma Kate makes faces and lets it sit in her mouth, she doesn't swallow it, she eventually spits it out. Anyways, I will try and update the blog soon. Enjoy these videos.

This last one is of Ryan after trying to eat cereal. He thought it was hilarious that he only eats off me. He will not take a bottle and he will not eat cereal. He was dying laughing about it.
