Wow, it has been {WaY tOo LoNg}!!!!!

Sorry about the wait, but I will make it worth it! I have to say that the twins have been sick since November so you really can't imagine how busy I have been! Griffen was also sick at the end of the year. The twins had ear infections twice, the flu once, just general colds and whatnot. It has just been a while but we are having a great day, I had time, so here I am! The twins have also gotten 7 new molars. I have the toothiest little boys in town! Griffen is talking up a storm! He will try to say anything that you ask him to and is doing much better about saying what it is he is wanting! We were ruined by having a few days that the kids were able to play outside is just a light jacket. There was even one day where we spent 7 hours straight outside. The kids LOVE to eat on their table outside. Since then, we have had about 7 days straight of crappy weather. We have day rain, snow and a ton of wind. The kids are troopers though. They just want to put on their big coats and go out anyway. We do a little of that too! Really, we have just been trying to recover. I had surgery 2/11 and could not lift the kids at all for 4 weeks. That was VERY hard. I leaned a lot on my mom and my grandma as well as Brad's family. I am just going to post a bunch of pictures with a little description below. The kids are so cute that I could post 100's of pic's but instead I will pick just a few of the best ones.



L-R: Griffen, Boady, Cale

Here are the boys just messing around. Griffen has not wanted to get out of his pajamas much lately! Who does? But he can always be convinced to get into nice clothes if he is told that is that Ba Bene (what he calls Grandma Bene) likes them. This was a rare chance to get all three handsome boys in the same picture!

Here is Griffen just hanging around in a tree. Grandma Bene and I put him up here thinking he was being really adventuresome. Little did I know that his Dad puts him up here and lets him sit there unassisted, Dad just stays close. That is scary!!!!


Here is a picture of Cale standing in the sand box. The kids all love it so much! But, we have cups and bowls in the sand box to play with and Cale thinks that that makes it OK to eat the sand. He is not happy unless he has a mouth full. It is a funny sight. I will have to get a picture of that!

Here is a picture of Boady on the slide. The first time the twins tried it, Cale was really reserved and Boady would not stop sliding down. The very next day, I could not get Boady down the slide and Cale was a mad man on it. He would go on his belly, on his back, head first, feet first, etc! It is funny how similar the kids are but also how different they are.

Here are the kids playing on the pedal tractor and the wagon. How smart are these kids? They are riding away (Griff is still a little too short to reach the pedals) and the dummy's, Mom and I are pulling them with a rope. Hmmmm, these are smart kids I am raising...

Here are the kids again in front of the fire place. They like to hang out here so I try to get a lot of pictures of all three of them here. Again, Griffen is in his Pajamas! Ah, the good life!

Here is a picture of all three of my kids playing with their cousins. We celebrated Leland and Sherry's 50th anniversary and had all the family over. It was wonderful to see the kids playing with their cousins.
