Swinging Buds



After the library story time ea. week, if the weather is great, 3 of us moms (Mary, Christie, & I) take our little boys (David, Brendan, & Cole) to play at the park. The absolute favorite are the swings! Since there are more boys than baby swings, this is what we came up with! A photographer came by with some of his students looking for some fun shots & found our Siamese twins kicken back in the swings, eating crackers.

My 6 pic . . .

Here's the 6th picture in my 6th folder.


This was in April of 2006 ( b4 any kiddos) on our trip to Texas
to visit our friends the Broughs (pre-kiddos) & the Gosneys came down too(dating @ the time, almost engaged, & married now). We spent an afternoon going through really awesome small town shops. We had a blast! Back when Jace called me "Brownie" since I'd recently dyed my hair a light brown, which was darker than I'd ever done before & had fun with it.

I was tagged by my sister-in-law Hillary, so the 6 people I tag are . . .
Breanna G., Julie B., Sharon G., Mary S., Sandra S., & Chelsey H.
Have fun!

The top 2 in this slides are of Baby B - (the best shots they could get) & a pretty
good one of Baby A facing Baby B's back side

They are healthy & strong & are just under 1 lb. ea. right now. We are grateful that
they've got their fingers & toes & everything else in between in place.
Just this week I'm starting to really feel them being busy bumping around in there.
It was so amazing to watch them dance around so much during the ultrasound
- busy, busy boys!!




Our 1st "Family" Pic with everybody

We are pretty excited! Even though we didn't get our girl this time, it's all
good cuz we know we're not done yet.
Cole's gonna be such a great big brother to his little brothers, he's gonna love
having 2 new playmates in the future.

Now to just figure out 2 great boy names! Hmmm . . .?

My Sweet Birthday Boy . . .



HAPPY 2ND BIRTHDAY COLE !!!
WE LOVE YOU LOTS!!

Cole turned officially 2 yrs. old on Sunday, May 3rd & we celebrated the day before with some friends at our house with a Birthday BBQ. Other than the weather being a little cool & wet, it was a lot of fun! Cole enjoyed eating lots of "coooookies" & playing with his friends. It was a little dramatic
opening gifts when any of the other kids would touch his new cars or trucks, so we just opened a few & saved the rest for his actual bday. When we opened those Sunday morning, Cole started to really get the hang of it & thought that every bag or box had cars in the them; it was so cute.

Pictures coming soon!
