Ava's bug collection

Ava and I have been having so much fun finding new bugs to make into clips. Some of her friends at school were asking for one, so we made each of the girls in her class their own bug. (or fish.)

Some of the bugs that she shared with her friends

A little froggie that I made for Carter (didn't want him to be left out!)

Sick, Sicker, Sickest

Ava was sick, then Carter, and now Coleson. Ava's cold wasn't too bad..just a sore throat. Carter had a cough and fever, but it didn't last very long. Poor little Coleson has been under the weather for a few days, but was really feeling bad tonight. Around 5pm, Ava told me to come into the living room. This is what I found when I got there: Coleson crawled up onto Carter's lap and fell asleep. It was one of the most precious things. This picture brings tears to my eyes. :) They look very alike here too. Hopefully things will be looking up for Coleson tomorrow. It's only 11pm and he's already woken up 3 times, so I could be in for a long night!

Under Construction

Our kitchen remodel is under way....Yay! It's been pretty dusty around here, but the project is coming along nicely. Nick has been working, sleeping and working on the house. That's pretty much it. Poor guy! He just can't sit and relax when he knows there's work to be done. I'm glad that he finishes what he starts, but that man is going to wear himself out! Anyways, here are some pictures of our progress:

The dining room with the windows gone (last week)

The dining room today with the walls torn down...much bigger!

This corner is where the laundry room is going to be
Side view- we're adding about 150 square feet.

Doesn't he seem excited about it!

Twin Group- now and then

I made two amazing friends during our "twin journey". My friend Emily (mom of the twins on the right) and I started talking and hanging out when we were pregnant with the boys. She was friends with Melissa, (mom of the twins in the middle) and we all got together almost a year ago for our first "twin group". The boys have grown up so much in the last year...mine weren't even sitting up yet at the first twin group! It has been so good to have support from other moms that know what it's like, and also nice to give support. I don't know what I would have done without them! Twin group has definitely got more wild in the last year with six 1 1/2 year old running around, that's for sure!

NOW- Feb. 2010

Coleson, Weston, Haiden, Weston, Logan, Luke

THEN- April 2009

Weston, Coleson, Weston, Haiden, Logan, Luke

P.S. Weston and Haiden's mom, Melissa, is pregnant and having another baby boy in 11 days! We're so excited for them!!!

Hanging in our cribs

Why didn't I think of this earlier....if I take pictures of them in their cribs, they can't run away from me!
