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 Results Are In!!!

So here we goooo!




We have 2 little Cowboys on the way!!

A little smile on Baby A's face in the 1st pic & the 2nd & 3rd show each twins "apple stem". :)

Hillary Stapley (Our sister-in-law)
&
Eric Graham (Our Brother-in-law)

Sorry, everybody else, better luck next time.



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!

A little bit about our little monster . . .

He loves to be chased & is very, very fast!

He loves fishes, cars, trucks, & water

He is great at giving hugs & kisses

He's very smart at figuring out how things work

He gives the best "welcome homes" to daddy that any kid could give with such excitement every time!

He likes to find & play with ladybugs

He Loves nursery! (hooray!)

He loves "cooookies"

He loves to eat shredded cheese (can't be slices, gotta be shredded)

He loves dogs

He loves the swings at the park & would swing all day if we'd let him

He is fearless, fun loving, & so cute

He has the best laugh & giggle around

He is our "Coco"

4 1/2 Months . . .

Or 18 Weeks along!



(A bit blurry, but you get the idea)

Since I won't go past 38 wks. I'm already 1/2 way done!
I can hardly believe it!
Still feeling great & going strong!
The only protest I have is that my hips feel like they're broken
every morning when I wake up, but it goes away. I didn't feel that with
my 1st pregnancy til much later, but gotta expect it,
cuz hey, there's dos in there!

Unsure . . .


About our twins combo. We were a bit bummed out,
although felt so grateful to know that both twins are
growing & looking good! My doctor did a quick
ultrasound to make sure they were both growing good,
but since it's a little early to officially tell the genders,
he took a guess on the babies but didn't say for sure.
He said it looks like we've got one boy in there & was
unsure about the 2nd since its knees were up &
wouldn't let us get a sneak peek. He didn't say for
positive on the boy, but seemed pretty sure.
So we get to wait for 3 more weeks for the big
hoorah on the big screen in 4D - the really fun
one! Ahh! It's killing us!
So I guess no ones guess is completely out yet!
It was still a great & informative visit & we
found out our new due date is no later than
Sept. 14th, which would be 2 weeks earlier than
our original due date. We were told
that they don't ever let twins go past 38 weeks
for increase risks of the babies getting to large &
other possible complications. We won't
necessarily be induced because my body could
def. still go into labor on its own even before the new
due date since my body could think it's time because
things will be so tight in there. I won't need to be put
on bed rest unless I'm having preterm labor or
other complications, but the last 8 weeks I'm
to take it extremely easy & no major traveling is
allowed for me. Lastly, my doctor said it was great
that I'm "tall" with a long torso which will help to
lessen the likelihood of complications & allow
more room for the twins to grow longer.
So that's the latest & greatest so far!

Gender Guessing Poll


Ok everybody! We find out what we are having this coming Tuesday the 21st
& are taking "bets" or guess' as to what the Twins Combo will be!
I'll post it when we find out & list the names of who guessed right!
The prize is the joy & satisfaction in knowing your an amazing
fortune teller who's got great E.S.P.!
So Leave your Guess Por Favor!

Cole Words . . .
On the Left - The real word = On the Right - How Cole says it
I love toddler words, their too funny!
These are too cute not to write down before he doesn't talk this way anymore.

Fish = ish

Shark = whale, whale

Any large fish = whale, whale

Whale = whale

Finding Nemo = Dory

Bath = bat

Cheese = eese

Please = pees

Peas = eese
(as you can imagine, these three are hard)

Thank You = tayt tou

More = mo or ma

Mom/Mama = mama
(More and Mom are the same... just can't get enough of Mom!)

Dad = Da (sometimes Dat)

Yes = no (will sign yes correctly though)

no = no

Truck = carck

Meow = ow, ow

Candy = dee

Banana = nana

Bubble = bubboo

All done = done, done

I'm sure there are more he says in funny ways, but there are plenty that he does say right & adds to his vocabulary daily. Even though he doesn't talk a ton, he understands everything we say to him & is a little smarty pants at figuring
out how things work quickly.
We love our cute little Coco who is growing up so fast!
