Hey, where the heck ya been?...

Oh, me?  Just raising some teens and some twins and stuff.


I've just been unmotivated, uninspired, lazy busy, yaaa...that's it, busy.


Hmmm...let's see...

I  ♥ MT big time.  I want to go back, like now.

Elijah and his farmer tan are back home.

As if I don't already have a slight (maybe problematic) addiction to my iphone I have started using the myfitnesspal app.  It's a food and exercise diary that you can actually scan your food in folks..aaah-mazing!  I might actually be eating stuff just so I can scan, which is rather counter-intuitive but whatever.

I think we might actually have summer this weekend in the PNW so that's cool.

My new favorite thing is the passion iced tea from Starbucks, i'm having trouble finding the willpower not to stop every.single.day on my way home.

The babes are so much freaking fun!  I actually wanted to wake them back up the other night because I couldn't stop thinking about how cute they are.  I'm serious people...A-DOR-ABLE!  I've been slacking in the photo department (see sentence #2 of this post) but I'm getting my mojo (or maybe I should call it photojo) back.

Oh! and I'm guest posting tomorrow over @ mama and the dudes !!!!  This is like a big dealio for me so visit over there TOMORROW, AUGUST 20th.  OK? OK! thanks...

Now I'm gonna unleash a massive photo-bomb from our trip, slightly erratic and in no specific order...kinda like this entire post...and a little like my entire summer.

Uncle Rowdy

Kaden was sleeping in the RV...as was I

And guess what the babies can do now?....

A NEW PERSPECTIVE!!

eating and drooling and giggling, oh my!

Six months already!  I can't believe it.  They are changing so much lately!  It's like they are becoming these little people instead of the sleepy newborns we had for so long and I am loving it!


They are drooling LIKE CRAZY!  I mean, hold them for 5 seconds and you're soaked type of drooling...kinda gross but the cutest type of gross!  I just know a little tooth is going to pop through soon.

A few weeks ago we got the go ahead to start feeding them solids.  I was super excited for this because, well...who doesn't love to shove pureed green beans into a moving target?  We did a couple trial runs with just rice cereal but I just couldn't stand to feed them reconstituted rice flakes so we have moved on.  I broke out the trusty Magic Bullet my Mom got me for just this reason, baked some apples (sans the delicious butter and brown sugar, darn!) and zipped them right up... pure.babyfood.heaven!  I will be writing a whole post about this very soon because I am so utterly, 100% SOLD on making your own baby food and I'm sure the babies will thank me for it.

Ok, now for the BEST PART....you guys, they have started to giggle, giggle, giggle!  Besides the screams when they were born there is no sweeter sound!  hands down!

They generally spend most of their day lounging around on a big blanket on the floor surrounded by toys and rolling and scooting all around.  They can legit get somewhere if they really want to (a.k.a. to get something they want to grab and shove in their mouth).  Otherwise they are hanging out in the exersaucer or knockin back 6 oz bottles. 

Oh, and they are perfectly executing their master plan developed in utero...you know, the one where they either a.) don't nap at all or b.) magically wake up the exact second the other goes to sleep.

This last 6 months has been pretty amazing and of course life changing.  We are so blessed to be these little munchkins mama and daddy.  It is so so much fun having twins (I can say that now that they sleep through the night).
