Say Cheese!!!

Ok, so i was trying to cut cost and take my own Christmas picturse of the twins, i thought i would just stick them in front of the tree and get a couple cute shots of them. It didnt quite work the way i planned, so here a few of the pics i took, needless to say i did not use one of these photos for our Christmas cards!! This is why we do professional pictures from here on out!! We wish you all a blessed and happy Christmas, may Jesus remain the center of this holiday season!

First "official' vacation!! (with the twins)

We took our little family on our first vacation to visit our wonderful friends, the Darcy's, in California! We had such a good time visitng them, and enjoying the sunny weather! We took the kids to their first zoo trip, they loved it, especially the monkeys. We also made a trip to Yosemite Park, which was absolutely beautiful, but needless to say we had very tired and cranky kids by the end of the day, which resulted in tired, cranky parents, which resulted in a nice mixed beverage to top off our long day! After 4 days of wonderful conversation, road trips, and parks we were quickly back on the plane to come home, wondering where the time went!!

Rylan has no fear when it comes to exploring new things. He climbed right up next to this goat at the zoo and started brushing it. When he stopped brushing, the goat let him know how she felt about it. This video stops just short of the knockout blow, but you can see where this was headed.

Happy Halloween

We survived yet another halloween. We weren't sure we were going to get these 2 in their costumes, they took one look at them and screamed because they were scared! So through the howls and some kicking and screaming, we were able to hurry and slip them on! We took them downtown CDA, to numerous business who provided candy for the trick or treaters. Even though we were drenched from the rain, it was fun seeing all the other costumes! Mommy and daddy enjoyed eating most of the babies candy as well! Here of some pics of our eventful night, we werent able to get too many close pics of them, everytime we bring out the camera they stop performing and look away!

We tried getting a pic of them in the bathtub this morning, giving each other kisses but the hair pic was the best that we could capture!

Animals and pumpkins

I can't believe the summer is already gone and we are now easing into cool weather and the changing of trees. I love this time of year! We took the kids to a couple petting zoos over the last month. It was pretty entertaining watching fearless Rylan try to ride a small pigmy goat, and try to swim in the horse's water. He loved every minute of it! Kamryn on the other hand had a death grip on me the whole time, she did brave petting a bunny or two!
This past weekend we went up to Greenbluff, which consists of numerous orchards and farms that you can go and pick your own pumpkins and fruit from. They had tons of fun things for the kids and thank God the weather permitted and we were able to enjoy the day with warm weather and good food!
These children are growing before our eyes! Each morning when I go and get them out of their cribs, I feel like they have gained a pound or two over night(it's probably just their wet diapers)!! They are soo fun. Kamryn's vocabulary has really blossomed, she pronounces her words very well. Her favorite ones to say are yellow, apple and cheerios! Its hilarious having her say them. Rylan has now figured out his favorite word to say, which is football, daddy is so happy to have a fellow football watcher in the house now!
Here are some pics of our recent outings!!
