The kids have defintly taken over my Iphone! Every time I turn around one of the kids has my Iphone. Either playing one of the two games I have on there or looking at picttures. Addison loves looking at pictures so she loves to look at them over an over again.... An I think its funny it didnt take them long to figure out how to use it, it probably took longer for me to learn :).
This year I decided we would have their party at Pump It Up an boy was that a wonderful idea! One I didnt want to have a party at Chuck E Cheese if I dont really have to, second I did not want to have it at my house our house is just not the type of house to have a big party at. An we had their Tball party at Pump It Up an it went very smoothly an they loved it. An they seriously do everything at that party for you. If I could have every one of their party's there I sooooo would! haha. The kids and the adults had a great time. So thankful for great family an friends! Here are some pics of the PaRty!!!!!
(couldnt get them to look at the camera and smile at the same time)
(I like this one not sure why)
(All the kiddos)
(Cant believe they are 4)
(I absolutely love this pic
Its still so hard to believe my babies are 4, they seriously grow up way way to fast!
Yes I know I totally slacked on that 30 day thing but oh well.. It was just alittle much I think. Sooo I will try an catch up with everything that has been going on around here!
My weight is probably the biggest insecurity! But as I get older I am slowly getting over it. haha :)
My niece Avery has made a huge impact on my life, because I am an Aunt to her. An being a aunt is the most wonderful thing in the world. An I have a nephew on the way that I cant wait to be an aunt to as well. I love being an aunt you can spoil them rotten then send them back home to their parents. You can buy cute shirts that say "my aunt loves me", or different things like that. I defintly have a special spot in my heart for my Avery Claire an TJ.
My wonderful kids inspire me to be the best mom/person I can be. They make me want to be a better person than I have ever wanted to be!!
I would love to go see a taping of the show Ellen! I just love her.
This man I dont think I couldnt see my life without him in it. He has given me my beautiful babies that I wouldnt have without him an a wonderful life. He is truly an amazing man (most of the time haha). I am thankful to God for putting him in my life.
At the moment this is my favorite band, I pretty much know all their songs. An Addison is not far behind me on knowing all the words to their songs. She loves singing along with them! lol
I absolutely love hearts. Anything hearts necklaces, rings, shirts, charms, drawing hearts, anything with a heart I love looking at. I am not sure why I love hearts so much but I have loved them since I can remember.
I seriously hate feet! I do not like them touching me what so ever... They are just ewwwwwww!!!!
This would be my best friend Kristie. I know your probably going to kill me for this pic but its the best I could find, an I know we have taken recent pictures but I cant seem to find them. So sorry! :(.
We have defintly done some messed up things in our day an I hope we do more lol! She is the greatest friend I could ever ask for! Thanks for the great memories...
My MOM is defiantly the one for this. She is just an INCREDIBLE person in every way! I wouldnt be the person I am if it wasnt for her.....
I know your only suppose to pick one picture but that is oh so hard when you have twins. An they look at this every now an then an if they dont see a picture of themselves they say "where is my picture". So these pictures just make me laugh at how silly they truly can be.
Sorry I know a day late!!! But here it is.....
I chose my promise ring. It was the very first ring Joel gave me when we were together. A couple years after he gave it to me my moms house was broken into an it was stolen along with all my other jewelry I had collected over the years. An I replaced only that ring because it was very special to me. So since then I have treasured it. An dont get my wrong I treasure my wedding ring as well but this ring I have had longer an it was one of the very special gifts my husband gave to me.
Kelly Clarkson
She is an amazing singer an a real down to earth type person.
There was a tie between having my precious babies an the day we brought them home. An since I don't have many pictures of them being born since they were premature. I chose to do the day we brought them home. At the time of their birth I didn't ever thing the day would come but 2 weeks later we brought them home, even though Addison came home a day before her brother. The day they were finally together was the greatest memory ever.
I am changing Day 4 to my most memorable night which is June 17, 2006 the night I married the greatest man in the world. It was such a wonderful fun evening that I will never ever forget!!!!
One Tree Hill is by far my favorite show. I have been watching this show since High School. I have even got Joel hooked on it(which he probably wont admit). An out by where my sister lives is where they film. So I have seen a couple places I have seen in the show, which is kinda cool.
The person I have been closest to is my baby sis, we have been together a good 22 years! I chose to pick my sisterface bc we have really grown closer together just in the past 6 yrs. She is the person I can go to with anything from a question on what would you do, to can you find this (she is my google lol). We definitely have gone thru the normal ups an downs esp the downs to the "i hate yous" to fighting everything. But I seriously doubt we would be where we are today without those days growing up. She is a wonderful, strong willed, funny, amazing person an I love her with everything I have. An her being far away from me is not the easiest thing. But what doesnt kill you makes you stronger right? At least I hope so! But I am truly blessed with a great baby sister!
**I picked this pic bc its about the only good one we have that's not like 20 yrs old (I do have some old pics of us I will post another day). Were not great picture people together lol.

Held off as long as I could. Because I have heard horror stories!! haha
The kids have started using scissors at school, an this week Addi had homework to practice cutting straight lines. So I went out an bought kid scissors, but this is alittle scary for me. One because I am afraid they might use them to cut hair but I have tried to instill in them that we do not use scissors unless an adult is around. Cause I would just die if Addi was to cut her hair... An Joel might kill me first if that was to happen. But scissors are a thing they need to learn for pre-writing skill. So we are going to go with it. It just goes to show that my babies are growing up an not babies anymore.
Last week Lisa had called an wanted to get the kids together before she started back to school. An of course I said sure its an easy way to let the kids play an for us to catch up. An since she has been going to school we can have many more play dates which everyone is happy about that haha. We headed over after breakfast we decided on her house so the kids could play with all the new Xmas stuff Ethan & Paige got. The kids were so excited to see each other. An I just think its the cutest thing when they all get excited about seeing one another. An after about 2 hours of destroying about 4 rooms in her house we decided to wear them out by taking them to the park, it was a nice day in January an we were going to take full advantage of it. It was alittle more windy than expected but they still had fun running around an burning off some major toddler energy. After about an hour then were getting hungry an alittle worn down so we headed to McDonalds their favorite place, an us not so much! They seem to have a wonderful morning an we were hoping for a long nap that afternoon. Here are some of the pics I took..
Its only January 5th an I am already blowing and going this new year. I am defintly trying to work on my to do list for this year. An I am finding out some of the things are alittle harder than I expected.
This time of year always creeps up on me with the kids birthday, an I go in a stir crazy mode. But most of which I got done today so that is a check off my mile long list. Now its just a few more things an I am going to try an not wait til the last minute to do it.
Now to my to do list for the year. I am trying to start couponing alot more than I was. One we def. could use the money who couldnt save some money here an there. Its alittle more challenging than I ever expected. But I am slowly getting the hang of it. An def. going to get better if it takes everything I have haha. An I am working to get some more things done on my list.
