Christmas 2011 come and gone!

We spent Christmas in Gooding with all of our familes, we had a great and almost relaxing time. I say almost, cause we aren't quite there with the twins yet for complete relaxation. We got to be home for a week which was nice not to have to make a quick trip home and turn around and come back. The kids are old enough now that they love being with their cousins and aunts/uncles and of course their nanas and papas. They have been talking about them since we left and can't wait to see some of them again for their birthday!

Kam and Ry are becoming the best of friends, even though they squabble here and there, they are really aware of each others feelings and speak for each other a lot of times. When Kam needs something Ry will make sure that we hear what she is needing by repeating it even louder. When Ry is just waking up from his nap, Kam will usually greet him with "Hi buddy, did you have a good sleep?" They are so funny to watch and listen too. They are both in their big kid beds and are doing rather amazing in them. Ry has fallen out at least 8 times, but it doesn't seem to interrupt his sleep too much. We are working to get Ry potty trained. He will go potty on the toilet at least once or twice a day but refuses to wear his pull ups or big boy underwear! Sis has done very well in this department. Who knew potty training would actually be easy? She pretty much did it herself, and has had one or two accidents. She does wear a pull-up at night and nap still but will be done with that very soon! I cannot believe how fast our soon to be 3 year olds are growing! It seems like yesterday that we were bringing our 4lb bundles home from the hospital. Time flies!




We love our cousins!!

catch up time!!

Wow the last few months have flown by! For halloween we met with our very good friends and went out with the kids to trick or treat for the first time. It didn't take them long to figure out that knocking on doors meant getting candy! They had a blast doing this with their little buddies!



Thanksgiving we spent with Troy's brother and wife and their family in Sdeattle! We had a great time and the twins really loved seeing their cousins!!


For Christmas we are headed down south! No, not somewhere warm! But down to Gooding to see all the family. We are excited to see everyone but dread the drive! We pray for good weather and lots of naps!! We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year!!! Love to all!


Here are a few random pictures over the past few months!!



First snow!! guess who likes it and who doesn't!!


pillow talk!

Pumpkins, pumpkins and pumpkins

Fall is here! Even though I really love this time of year, it reminds me that winter is just around
the corner, which means lots of time spent inside the house, which means cabin fever and a crazy mommy! But I guess up here winter is unavoidable.

We recently went up to our favorite place this time of year, Green Bluff. Lots of pumpkins, apples, beautiful scenery and the petting zoo! We picked the most beautiful, sunny day to do this, it was absolutley gorgeous. With the exception of Kamryn getting her first bee sting, it was a pretty successful day.

On a different note, I have always heard the twins tend to have their own special language, I didn't think ours really had one until now. Kamryn keeps saying this word "Comino" and her speech is pretty clear to where we usually know what she is saying. So she kept saying this and i asked Ry what she was saying and he knew exactly what she was meaning, he said "comino for ry ry" and she kept saying no comino for daddy, but we are still are unsure what she is meaning! too funny!



Giddyup!!


Kamryn and her future husband!






CHEEESSSSEEE!!!!



Long day, exhausted kiddos!!


So for Troy's B-day present he was given a hall-pass to go fishing for a weekend! He and his brother had a great time and Troy caught a 7.5 lb bass!! Here is his proof!!
