Fall Photos...

So, this is a quick entry, but I wanted to get the kids' Fall photos up before I forget to do it. Amy took their pictures a couple of weeks ago and they turned out fabulous (granted I'm biased, but she does AMAZING work). Owen and Aubrey are 2 1/2 and Aiden is 18 months...can't believe how fast time has flown by. Owen was all about getting his picture taken and Aubrey and Aiden were a little indifferent to the whole ordeal.

Ahh, they love each other :)

More to come soon!

New Beds

After dealing with two toddlers that slept on the floor rather than their toddler beds for 4 months, we decided to purchase two twin beds in hope they would choose a cozy, warm bed, rather than the cold, hard floor....the verdict...YES!!! Thank goodness! I found super cute jack and Jill bedding at Pottery Barn on a killer sale and we got the beds at Homemakers. The headboards were bright red metal (not gonna do), so I spray painted one pink and the other brown...actually turned out pretty cute! The twins love them and now we struggle with a certain 18 month old who thinks he too needs a bed, not a crib anymore.

Now, we need to work on getting rid of pacifiers...ugh, really not looking forward to that fight. I have three kiddos that love those stupid pacis, so it really might be a brawl in our house for a few days.

On other news, Aiden had his 18 month check-up two weeks ago an he has dropped down into the 40th percentile for weight...following Owen's footsteps. He doesn't look skinny, but he has leaned out and is started to look more toddler-like and less baby-like :( He is easily saying many 2 word sentences and has started throwing some mad temper tantrums. Boo!

Owen has really been enjoying the terrible two's lately. He's gotten a little wild and resistant to authority. Last week at Fareway he climbed the beer wall and stood on top, yelling that he was stuck. My friend Amy and her two kids were with me and even she was embarrassed. Wasn't my finest parenting moment. On a good note, his vocabulary has soared the past couple of months and has turned into quite the talker. When he's one on one with us, he is the most fun loving little boy, we just need to work on the rest of the time :)

Miss Aubrey is starting to get excited because she gets to go to Disney on Ice with Amy, Berkley and I next Friday. Zach won tickets to it and they were so nice to offer two tickets to us. The boys are going to go bowling and have some guy time, while Amy and I take the princesses to an afternoon of fun! Owen is obsessed with chasing after Jackson, so he will have a blast bowling and running around.

Heading off to Monkey Joe's to bounce around this afternoon. Should be a good time and they kids are pumped. Next week is crazy busy with Thanksgiving, Disney on Ice and I'm going to the newest Twilight movie with some friends...woo hoo! We will probably hit up Santa at Valley West Mall next weekend, so I'm anxious to see how that turns out.

Cheese!

This is what happens with your twin is a girl.

I LOVE cake pops!

Some New Funnies from Miss Aubrey

Aubrey is a talker...weird, I don't know where she gets it :) Here's some of the funny things she's come up with lately...


1. "I just peed in the tub!"
2. When asked about giving up her pacifier.."Paci can just take a nap in my mouth."
3. "I'm pooping a lot today."
4. "Owen, you're driving me crazy!"
5. "Find a new home, Lola."
6. "Aiden, damn it." (Thanks Adam for saying this in front of Aubs in response to Aiden dumping his plate on the floor).
7. "I peed, I peed, I peed my pants mama."
8. "Papa shoot reindeer in his house." (Papa Bill has some deer heads on display in his basement...enough said).
9. "I look so cute! I'm adorable!"
10. "Grow up boys!" (Owen and Aiden were pushing her nerves that day).

She's one funny cat!
