Big Boy Bed

Today was one of the most productive days I have had in a long time. I woke up super early to get ready to get my haircut. Once I was five lbs lighter I came home and found a burst of energy and cleaned cleaned and cleaned some more. I am talking about the scrubbing kind of cleaning.
Then we got ready for Hunters basketball game. It was the first play off game, and they WON! It always amazes me how Emmett and Everett don't seem to mind all the buzzers and whistles.
To celebrate the win we went out to dinner. The company was great the meal not so much.
Now we are home and getting ready for bed and tonight is the first night Emmett and Everett have slept in their own room. I'm so used to having them in their pack-n-play in my room. They seem to be doing great, on the other hand I am not. I am up walking into their room everytime they make a noise on the monitor. In fact I am writing this post because the office is closest to their room. How sick is that!?! haha
Wish me luck! Im headed to my own room to relax and get some knitting done. I hope to have a finished project posted soon!

The Little Things

The days seem so busy with work, cleaning, dogs, and 2 kids that I feel like I don't take enough time just to sit back and enjoy the little things that happen day to day in my life.




I haven't stopped to take many pictures of the boys messy from eating. I've been too busy cleaning them up. So today I decided just to stop and enjoy Emmett and Everett loving their dinner.

As a new parent I never realized how quickly things pass, and before you know it your newborn isnt really a newborn anymore and all of the sudden you are buying 6 month clothing for a baby that is trying to crawl. It is such a mixed emotion. On one hand I feel very happy for the milestones Emmett and Everett are reaching and I feel the excitement they feel when they learn something new, but on the other hand I know every new milestone is leading to them growing up. It's going to very hard not to push them over the first time they stand up haha.

Lions, Tigers and Bears! Oh MY!!!

It was our first family zoo trip valentine weekend. We woke up to the first couple days of beautiful weather and couldn't wait to get out of the house! It was such a great experience. I was a little nervous that taking two 5 month olds to the Houston Zoo would be a bit crazy, but they enjoyed it as much as we did. Emmett and Everett slept the entire way to Houston, and while we tried to find parking. It seemed like everyone had the same idea as us because parking was the most difficult task of the dayMy mom and dad love the zoo as much as we do, and met us there. It was so nice to have them with us. They are awesome grandparents!

Our day ended with Cheesecake Factory and I can't think of a better way to end a beautiful day at the zoo then that!

Blogging Virgin!

My first blog ever! 2010 had so many things happen including two new additions to my family. I thought a blog would be the perfect place for me to keep track of the events happening in our lifes. It seems that when you have children the time just seems to fly by, and everyone told me this would happen. It seems like I've blinked and Emmett and Everett are 5 months old!

This blog won't be only about my family though. I also have started spending the majority of my free time knitting and crocheting, and I will be posting updates on what I'm working on. More to come soon!
