A fish & a climber

My little man has become quite the fish here lately and my little princess has become a climber. Landon has started to love the water and goes to the back door an says "pool" everyday! I wish I could take him out everyday. This has not always been the case, a couple weeks ago he didnt like the water and you had to hold him everytime he got in the pool. An this is a baby pool mind you. So I dont get much in to even help him, but he insists. An we just took his bath seat out of the bathtub and he was afraid to sit in the tub. He would just stand and hold on to the side of the tub to play with the bath toys. Now he sits freely in the bathtub moves all around like a wild man an in the pool he lays on his tummy and holds on to the side I asked Joel where did this come from he said " i have no idea but its funny."

An then my little climber she doesnt say many words but she sure can climb, on the couch, the barstools, her play kitchen on the end table. Pretty much everywhere. Except climbing out of the crib, (knock on wood wont be for awhile). It is funny trying to watch her get on something and she is having trouble. An I can tell her til I am blue in the face to get down and she just looks at me and just moves her head back and fourth. Its funny but its not. So I just get her down and tell her no no, maybe one day she will understand!!

An I have always known my twins were very different, like night and day. But really they truely are and its funny to think sometimes that they are twins. They dont look alike, dont act alike, dont eat alike nothing its just crazy to think sometimes.

Kisses & Hugs

They have both learned now to give Kisses and Hugs! I have waited for this since they were born. Its so rewarding when you say give me a kiss they come up to you and give you a kiss. An when you open your arms and say give me a hug they come running to you to give you a hug. I love it!!!!!!! Their is nothing more special than them doing that. I love those two with every inch of me!

4th of July Weekend

The kids were in the parade this past weekend with my moms of multiples club. I decorated their wagon and to pull them in the parade. We planned it to where I got their early to help with our float which was already finished and looked good, so I just tried to secure most of my decorations while I waited for the kids. The kids got their right before we started walking for our turn, so that was a good one! Nana (Joel's mom) and Pawpaw (my dad) to came along to be a part of their first parade. They seemed to love everybody looking at them, esp Landon he would wave and just smile such a little star. Addi was more worried bout pulling of the decorations mom workedin charge of parades for our club. Yippee!

After the parade I thought the kids would be pooped out and be sleeping 5 mins into the car ride. Boy was I wrong! They were more hungry and thirsty than anything. I stopped to get them something to eat so they wouldnt have to wait longer for me to cook them something when I got home. They ate most of their lunch in the car cause they were so hungry. We got home finished eating then they played for like 2 hrs just running around going crazy! I thought wow, somedays I wish I had their energy. They finally started getting fussy so I put them down. They only took bout a 2 hr nap. Which was very suprising. Then we had to get ready to go over to my mom's friends house to have a cookout and swim with family that had come in town for my sister's wedding. That was an adventure. Addi loved the water Landon not so much he wanted to be held not put in a floaty. An then we would get them out of the pool and they would run straight to the pool. Boy was I a wreck. Trying to keep two from falling in. They were starting to get cranky, I was hoping they would make it so that we could stay and watch the fireworks. I was wrong. They were very tired, but I dont blame them they had a rough day! So we started home and the fireworks started we could see them everywhere Landon was like WOOO. Addi not so sure. I pulled over so they could actually enjoy them for a minute. We saw them from Joe Pool Lake, The Baseball Fields by our house, everywhere. We got home and by the time we got home we pulled them in the backyard and we all 4 watched the finally at the baseball field on our swing it was so cute! :) I wished I could have had a pic.

The next day was a very busy day! It was my sister's wedding and I had to get both kids packed Landon was going with Joel's dad an step mom to stay the night and Addi was going to Nana's to stay. This was the first time I didnt have at least one home with me. It was a little heart wrenching at first but I had the wedding and it would have been hard for Joel to watch both of them during the wedding. With me in it. An my parents in the front row, not many to help with two. So after the wedding we had a nice evening to ourselves.

All in all this was a great Fourth of July. The kids enjoyed the parade and the fireworks. Cant wait til next year where they will enjoy it even more!!!!!!!!!
