Mooooooover Over 2010

Guilty, I am Guilty as charged. While I was Xmas shopping last week, I HAD to get you guys these outfits. They were on clearance with and EXTRA % off at the Crazy 8 store. I don't buy you guys a TON of stuff, but when I do I really need/want it :) I know I said it about Charlie's striped PJ's too. I love to shop.

Anyways, New Years is just around the corner. What a year it has been. Rough Start...Hectic Middle.... AWESOME FINISH. We did it. We are relocated to a better place, our lives are awesome, you guys are healthy, I am not in an institution, Your DAD still loves me, 2011 can only get better!

This spring and summer will be so fun with you guys being able to enjoy it more. Just don't grow up too fast, it is already starting to bother me :)

All That Hype!

One thing you will learn as you grow older is there is a lot of HYPE around XMAS, and before you know it is over. It is kind of Bittersweet though, as you know once Xmas is over and then New Years...SPRING is just around the corner. (Kind Of)

You guys were GREAT on Xmas and you were showered with gifts.

-Little People: Airplane, Circus, Farm Yard, Car wash

-Dolls, Strollers, Trucks, Fake Purse with accessories, Clothes, Playhouse, fake food for your kitchen, Plates for your Fake Dishes, Tea Set, Shopping Cart, More Clothes, Savings Bonds, Money, Cookies, Quarters, Socks, Decor for Lilly's Bedroom, A Chicken That Dances, Big Wheel, and DVD Players for the VAN. Yes you guys each got your own.
I think your favorite part of the weekend was the HUGE AMOUNT OF PAPER on the floor for you to nibble on... Weirdos!

But Mom....

I know I will hear this a lot when you guys get older... But Mom...I see that "so and so" has this, that, etc so I WANT IT!
You will see things on TV and instantly want them. I have this issue as well, when I read People or US Weekly. It gives us ideas of things we want.


Ms. Lilly Jean though however this morning showed us how she wants to wear her sleeper now....
Darn You E!.. “Shoot for the moon, Lilly. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars.”

Happy Holidays To You!

These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things!

I don't get/need to buy you guys a lot of clothes. Which I am very thankful for and so is my pocket book. You guys are showered with clothes from every side of the family!

However, I do see things from time to time..that I JUST NEED! They used to only be things for myself and more and more I am liking to baby shop more than mamma shop.


I shopped for 5 hours this past Saturday in St. Cloud. I was all by myself....loved it. You guys got to stay home in the warm house and play away with your DADDY! Anyways, Baby Gap, had extra 40% off clearance. I saw these jammies..they had 1 pair left in your guys' size and I HAD to have them. Charlie got the stripes and Lilly got the Pink Xmas ones. There is something about these stripes though... too cute!

Santa comes in 5 days!!

Do They Play Together??

I captured this on Tuesday this week.

See remember Tuesdays are the days that Adam doesn't get home until later. So I bring the kids home, and one by one get them into the house. I have started to undress the first one out of their winter gear and place them in Lilly's crib as her room is right off the kitchen. Then when number 2 comes in, I do the same. For some reason these 2 love to play in cribs together. Give them a couple pacifiers, blankets, and a stuffed animal and I have 10 min to get the kitchen ready for dinner.

This past Tuesday I was stopped DEAD in my tracks by the cutest, loudest BELLY Laughs coming from her room. I grabbed the video camera that is strategically placed for moments like this and started filming. HOW CUTE ARE THEY?????

Friday Funny

Charlie I think you got this from your Mom. I have been told my smile can look... well "evil" or like I am up to something......

I think it is CUTE CUTE CUTE .Happy Friday. Snow storm coming AGAIN on the weekend. Might hinder Mom's plans of going out in Minneapolis for her bday with her girlfriends. Tomorrow morning we will see what it is like out there. Paul Douglass of WCCO is claiming 12 to 16 inches...and the worst he has seen since possibly the Halloween Storm in 1991. We will see if his predictions are right.

Weather is like....well you guys. UNPREDICTABLE.

Happy Birthday To Me!

Happy Birthday

Exactly 1 year ago today you guys were brought into this world Via C-Section at Abbott Northwestern in Mpls Minnesota. Dr. Jennifer Ambur performed the C-Section and was mommy's favorite OB-GYN!

It was not only your big day, but also Dr. Ambur's birthday. It is also the anniversary of Pear Harbor today as well. I will teach you about that when you are older.

10:40 am. Lilly came out

10:41 am. Charlie came out

I remember hearing Lilly's sweet squawk...and then Charlie came out.. Oh wow..was he ever upset to bet taken away from his Mommy!

You two were healthy from the get go. I am still so thankful for that, as sometimes Twins come early, etc... Lilly you weighed 6lbs 5oz, and Charlie you weighed 6lbs 10 oz.

One year later we have gone through over 5,000 diapers and close to 4,000 bottles I bet..... I did rough calculations, but you get the picture.

We celebrated your bday last weekend in Rochester with our family down there. Tomorrow we are having dinner/cake at Gma and Gpa Megen's.

You guys are so loved..and have been showered with gifts from day one! Thanks again to all the family and friends that have been there for us the past year. We could NOT have done it without you.

You two can HAVE your CAKE and EAT it, TOO!

Big week... you guys are one and I turn 30 on Thursday!! WOW.

These Boots Are Made For Walkin'

You really flourished in your walking skills since last weekend Ms. Lilly.

Really?

I remember being pregnant and looking at ALL the different things that are out there for babies. You do NOT need it all. If you want me to tell you what you actually use, just let me know.

I have recently come across something that we defiantly do not need and luckily did not get.



REALLY...

I will post a picture here pretty soon, but Lilly is off! She has figured out if she puts on arm in the air she can RUN. You look like Sarah Jessica Parker Flagging down a Cab in NYC.

Charlie you aren't far behind...although lastnight you thought you were pretty cute when you were walking on your knees. You also have NO FEAR. You like to stand in front of us, and make us think you are going to take steps, but then you plant your feet and fall into us. I hope you only do this when we are here to catch you.

I hear they GLUE gashes on the head together now. Anyone know where I can pick some of that up? It will save us mileage to the ER.
