Valentine's Day

The kids still dont fully understand Valentine's Day, I think they know they get stuff but that is about it! Lisa got them balloons on Friday along with the beautiful flowers Ethan & Paigey gave me. I made Valentine's cookies for the kids with little hearts and everything. They seemed to enjoy the cookies.... Me and Joel decided to go out on Friday night instead of Saturday due to beating the crowds but it was still very crowded on Friday night as well. We had a nice dinner an went out for ice cream afterwards. Saturday he made me breakfast and let me sleep in (that is so nice it doesnt happen very often) then we had to get the kids ready for my moms of multiples Valentine's Party at the park. It was a little cool but I thought they would still have fun. An burn some much needed energy! I had called Pawpaw (my dad) to see if he would like to join us an of course he couldnt resist. So the kids were excited to see him as well. The ran, climbed, slid, jumped everything. They had a pond with ducks on it they were very interested in that. It was hard to keep them away from it. We will defintly have to go back an feed the ducks one day. They played for about 2 hrs or so an started to get hungry so we decided to go get something to eat and stop by Grandma's house (Joel's grandmother). They were to busy playing there they didnt want to eat! So by then we were way past nap and decided to head home so they could take a nap. So we had a wonderful nice Valentine's day. I am so thankful for my kids, my husband an my family an friends an this day made me realize to treasure the time I have with them. Our family defintly misses the ones that have left us but we do know that they are in a better place and we will always remember them no matter how old we are.
(I will be posting some pics from Valentine's day as soon our computer is back up and running correctly).

Toddlers or Kittens

Lately the kids have been acting like kittens especially Landon he crawls on all fours and starts meowing over and over again! He has recently got his sister doing this an they follow each other meowing. Its so funny to watch them and if I am sitting in the chair Landon will climb up in the chair meowing. Its so darn cute! I guess they picked it up off of the t.v. cause we do not have any cats here! I guess this is what to come from my little stinkers in pretend playing and everything. It just goes to show they are getting bigger by the day :(, its so cute to watch though so I will take kittens any day of the week.

Actual Birthday Party @ Little Gym!

So I decided this year to keep the party from being at my house (cause gosh that is so much work), I needed to find a place indoors cause their bday is in January. I looked a couple other places and decided that the Little Gym would be good for them. Addi loves climbing on everything and Landon is starting to figure out that he can do the same thing sister can an not be scared. I went ahead an booked the place. An just prayed the kids would enjoy it. Well we had a play date with my moms of multiples group about a month before the party. An they absolutely loved it and got mad when we had to leave. So I was very excited and pleased to know that I they would enjoy it. The Little Gym staff did a really good job with the kids. They did a few activities and we had a few little snags with Addi wanting to play longer with the stuff they had brought out rather than put it up.
But I couldn't blame her they brought out some bells to shake while they sang a song an then wanted 2 yr olds to put them right back after the song. An the same thing with the balls. Any 2 yr old doesn't want you to get something out and sing one song an then put it up. But she soon got over it an was fine.
All in all it turned out to be a great party with a Yo Gabba Gabba (the show the kids love right now) cake that they loved. The only bad thing was me forgetting the candles for their cake.
My mom picked up the cake an I totally didn't even think about it. Bad mom award I know, wont let it happen again. But the played their little hearts out an I was happy! These two kids are truly blessed with wonderful family and friends! Thank you so much.

They Turned 2! Pre-Party....

So I am going to back track a little bit just with the kids birthday! They turned 2 on Friday January 23. It still shocks me that they are TWO... I seriously don't know where the time has gone everything seems to be a blur. The saying they grow to fast is def. true and I am learning that.

Well Friday night their actual birthday we decided to take them to Chuck E Cheese, boy was that a mistake. If ever going to Chuck E Cheese don't go on a Friday or weekend if you don't have to. Its a mad house like no other! Kids running around all ages some not even supervised. We decided to invite a couple people to join us. It turned out to pretty much be a pre-party to the actual party which was on Sat. Hopefully the kids don't expect that every year!! But all in all I think the kids had a blast, I also think the BIG kids(aka Brian, Kristie, and Joel)did to!


So we ate some pizza played games and let the kids run ragged! Addi loved the dancing characters on stage! When they were singing Happy Birthday to the kids that were having a actual party there, she ran down there an started dancing with the Chuckie and all the staff and kids it was so darn cute! She got so excited everytime they did something new. Landon wasn't sure about Chuckie but he did enjoy running around riding little rides and playing games. So all in all it was a pretty great time! I think they truly enjoyed it. But if we decide to go back it will be on a weekday night, that is for sure! Thanks to everyone that came out!

Like the title says I am going to try and do better about posting blogs an such so I can have meomories of the silly things my kids do! So one day I can look back an laugh! Cause I sure know I probably wont remember....
