Johnny Knocksville

I love down hill skiing and I always envisioned that I would get to spend a spring break or two with my kids on some big slopes getting cold toes and burnt noses. I joke that my kids are going to ride on 2 boards (skis) rather than a snowboard because I don’t want to [...]

Excited

Cherriooo mate

Princes

I am afraid that being the youngest of 4 and the only girl would lead into getting picked on. She has already figured out how to use her lungs as well as a little muscle.

Painting the town

The older boys have been helping me with the painting in the basement. 2 hours resulted in a full gallon on the floor, 6 dirty brushes, and only one closet completed. Maybe I will learn my lesson someday. In the mean time let’s hope I don’t lose my patients..to late.

Potty in the potty

Charlie is almost there. We have had 2 days of dry underoos and no diapers, even over night. it just clicked for him. We have been fighting him for over a month now, with little to no results. After we gave up, just like that he started on his own. i came home from work [...]

Almost..

the twins are close to crawling. We are starting to wonder if the are going to walk without crawling. Both can spend a little time standing up if you give them something to hold on to. I wonder if it’s a case of “don’t need to” everyone says that the youngest doesn’t need to crawl [...]

Scar face

Thomas and Charlie went sledding today in the backyard. Charlie slid down the hill…Up the second hill and almost into the creek. Thomas ended up hitting some rough snow.

Basememt

Pat and Hazel where nice enough to spend the weekend at our house. I got to log 2 full days of work on the basement. it feels really good to get some major milestones completed. As an after thought for comfort I decided to add a subfloor to the basement. Which you would not think [...]

BASE jumper

Thomas had basketball practice again this weeked. I always drag Charlie along so that he can get used to the rutine. It is always hard to keep Charlie entertained but he tries his best to behave. I had forgoten about him for a minute as I was tring to get some photos of Thomas. I [...]

Sick twins = 2 sick babies

We have had quite a week. Last weekend both boys had a 24hr bug. Charlie went first and threw up on Maggie. I laughed and laughed until I had to clean it out of the carpet and couch cushions. Thomas didn’t make it to the bathroom but we are pretty lucky that Charlie was there [...]

Basketball

Thomas started a basketball clinc with the Y. Today was the first day and he did great. He said his favorite part was the stretches cause they got to count real load. Our Adel librarian was one of staff, and knows the boys so they got teased to help break the ice. Thomas was really [...]

tough guy

I usually get home from work at 5:00. The house explodes with activity and the next thing I know its 10:00 and I am still in my work closes. I spend everyday with the babies and yet I still forget that they are 8 months old already. I feel like we left the hospital 2 [...]
