2 days until TWO!!!!!!!!!

Twinnies got an early bday present last night. They were thrilled to say the least. They turn TWO on Saturday and I can hardly believe it.

Carter got a hair cut yesterday. We made it a family affair. I think you could tell by the length of his hair that we were avoiding getting it cut as the previous 2 times we took him were traumatic. He did better than last time but still didn't like it to much. It ended up a little shorter than we wanted again but that just means we can wait longer again to put him through another hair cut.

Cheers

Fruititarian kids

These kids LOVE fruit. In fact Carters favorite foods right now are apples (only given whole & he will eat the entire thing core and all) and bbq chicken drumsticks. The other night he ate 5 for dinner. He looks like a little caveman eating them. It's hilarious. They are so finicky about what they will eat right now. Meal times are actually a bit frustrating for me because it's always a guessing game on what they will or will not eat. Sometimes I wonder how they still grow because they are so funny about eating. I know it will all change with time like everything else. I know Carter will not always turn down sweets and that Chloe will at some point NOT want fruit leather for breakfast everymorning.

The twinners 'helped' us cook dinner tonight and let me tell you they took it very seriously. They pretty much ran the show.
With the exception of a little too much salt in the salsa I would say they had a very successful first attempt.

Trip to McCall

We went with Jerame's cousins to McCall Idaho for the week last week. It was a blast. The weather was gorgeous and was never below 80 during the day. Heaven! We spent lots of time on the lake boating, playing in the pool and at the beach. We were having so much fun that we tried to extend our trip to stay through this weekend but the hotel was all booked up. Bummer. We went last year as well and the trip was so much more enjoyable this year with the twinnies being a little bit older and able to do more. In total there were 17 of us with 9 kiddies in tow.
We are already looking forward to next year!

Two very tired little ones on the way there. We had an early am flight. They did so good though, all things considered, on the flight. I am not sure we are ready for a flight to Hawaii with them but we are getting there :-)

We kept the twinnies up so late every night & they were such little troopers. I think I took these at about 11 at night & we were still at dinner.

Margaritas?!!!

Nothing better than an impromptu margarita party on a sunny summer evening.


And this is exactly what we did the other night with our great friends the Andrews family!

Future Coug

Carter got his first 'real' baseball cap. Of course I gave him a choice between UW & WSU and he chose the Cougs :-)....well I might have had some influence (just a little).
Popsicles have been quite the summer treat around our house as of lately. They sure are messy but taste so yummy!
