Look, Pooh!

Happy Halloween! Here is Layla and Aidan dressed as Pooh Bear, they also have little booties with Pooh's face on it. Aren't they cute?

Cheeeese!

Well, here is Aidan giving a big ol smile! He is wearing his sports sleeper and has been watching sunday football with Layla all day. Just thought i would share this big smile with everybody!

Tongue Taco

Today while making faces at Ms. Layla, I began sticking out my tongue, she imitated me and stuck her tongue out too. I then proceeded to roll mine into a taco like Kendall and i always do to her, and oh my goodness, she imitated! She rolled her long tongue into a taco too! What a little smarty.

Weekly update

Well, i am glad to say the babies slept from 12-630 last night!! Now if they just make it a habit...hmm:) Layla and Aidan have been getting so smiley lately, it is pretty neat, they really respond so us now, not as many of those "you are crazy looks". Also Ms. Layla is starting to fit in her pink outfits now so im pretty excited about that, she is a true girlygirl now hehe. They are getting such strong personalities now, Layla is the sweetest little girl, and Aidan loves to walk around the house with us with his big eyes and open mouth, very curious, it usually helps too if he is fussy for attention. Both Aidan and Layla are pretty ticklish now but since they havn't learned to laugh yet, they just squirm and make faces, which still entertains us! They enjoy bright colors, expecially those on Spongebob Squarepants, big ol eyes stare like crazy at the TV screen. Well here are some pictures i took recently, there is Kendall with his baby girl and baby boy(Layla is already such a daddys girl, so i guess ill try and get Aidan to be a mama's boy;)) The second picture is of Layla in a pink sleeper and Aidan in his blue, they are pretty neat, They like sitting on our bed.

Turnover

Well, this weekend also brought something sad, my dear monte turned over to 100,000. Luckily Kendall captured the event.

Family Time and a 30 Year Anniversary

Well, this weekend, since Kendall was away on business, The babies, their Aunt Karen, and I drove to Denver to see the rest of the family, and all be together for my parents 30th anniversary(YaY!) Unfortunetly Brian and Zach couldn't make it....But everybody else did! Here are some pictures of our fun filled weekend.

Rollover!

Yes, Yesterday October 16th 2006, Ms. Laylabear rolled from her tummy to her back!!!! YAY she is such a wiggler i dont doubt it, however, Kendall and i were not in the room, but Uncle Gary saw it, i cant wait till i can see her little trick now!

Parents Sacrifice for Love

Here is something I read the other day in a book a friend gave me when i was pregnant.

The average cost of bringing up a child from birth to 18 years of age is $160,140(this is not including college tuition)
That means:
$8,896.67 a year....
$741.39 a month....
$24.37 a day....
or a little over a $1 an hour!

Crazy stuff we do for our little ones!

Weekend Update and Then Some

After their shots the babies felt ucky, Aidan had a slight fever a few times, and Layla just looked miserable. We got some cherry tylenol for them which helped a lot, helped us out too since it knocked them out most the day. Yesterday Kendall, Gary, Nikki, Katie, and I all got to go to the homecoming parade and the football game, it was sooooooooo nice to be able to get out of the house and feel like a couple again., and be able to hang out with our friends without having the kids around. Its been hard lately for Kendall and i to get out and be a couple alone, without the parent thing weighing on us. I love our babies but after a couple weeks of being around them, Kendall, lack of sleep, stress of school, and work, we get at eachothers necks and that isn't healthy for any of us. After the game, Gary's mom gave us another break and took the babies for a couple hours so we could have some friends over for a BBQ get together. Later the babies came home and everybody who hadn't been able to see them yet were pretty excited to see and hold them. A few friends were able to see bathtime too. It was nice. Without much outside help, Kendall, Nikki, Gary and I have really been trying hard to keep school in our priorities, but sometimes we end up sacrificing assignments in order to keep the babies occupied. In the end its worth it, they are growing so much and have such sweet personalities!! I am going to make a list of those friends who have told us over and over they would love to help us out, they understand how hard it is for us to be at school full time, work, and be full time parents/Aunt/Uncle(gary and nikki:) It is so nice to have a group of friends here to help out since help in other areas has fallen through. These babies have alot of our friends who care about them and come help out when we have class. I think this next weekend i may take a trip out of town to either Amber's or Mom and Dad's, the babies havn't seen the family in awile and I know everybody here needs a break, Kendall will be working out of town, and it will just be nice.

2 Month Appointment

Today was the babies 2 month appointment, they took it pretty well. Layla took the shots the worse, she cried pretty hard for a couple of minutes with lots of tears, Aidan just let out a few screams and was fine. I assume they will be fussy off and on throughout the next day or 2 but we are hear to cuddle them and give them some tylonel to help with the uncomfortableness. Aidan weighs 10lbs 7oz and is 21 1/3 inches long, Layla weighs 9 lbs and 10oz and is 21 1/4 inches long. So they aren't too far apart! They are growing well the Doctor says and is happy to see they are doing so well!

Just Pictures.

Here are the babies enjoying their blanket, and looking around at the world in their little sleepers.

Here they are hanging out on the bed. Look so lazy dont they?
Here is me feeding Ms. Layla.
Here is Mr. Aidan, being introduced to football at an early age.

2 Months Old!

Well yesterday, the babes were 2 months old, i cannot believe how fast they are growing! Tomorrow they have their 2 month check up, which includes their first set of shots. I figure they aren't going to be happy campers coming home. Here are just pictures i put on comparing the babes now and then when they are a couple days old. Growing up fast :D

Layla Hates Pumpkins

Last night after we got home, we all took part in carving some pumpkins, minus Kendall who was watching and studying for his test today...Here is a picture of Layla coming out of the pumpkin, she was already fussy and putting her in a slimy pumpkin really made her mad, she got her bath after and a nice warm bottle so she forgave us :0) We also attempted to put Aidan in the pumpkin who was a litte more happy at the time, but he too cried when he felt the slime on his feet.Here is the finished products of our pumpkin carving night!! Can you guess which one is mine?
Thats right....the headless horseman is mine! The middle one crying is Gary's and the ghost coming out of the grave is Nikki's. It was alot of fun, despite the interruptions of babies...hehe.

Aidan Tames the Lion!!!

Here is Aidan, struggling hard to tame the wild lion, he tried taming the beast by screaming, crying, and riding the wild animal into submission.
After a long struggle, here is Aidan showing off his prized tamed lion! Way to go buddy!!

Ogallala Bathtime

Well, this weekend was the first time the babies have left the house besides to go to the Dr. and Walmart since they have been out of my tummy. They were pretty excited to go visit their Grandma Gail, they hadn't seen her since their first weeks on the outside world. It was nice to be able to get some sleep, thanks to Gail letting us get some rest through the night! The babes slept in a crib there just for them, and were pretty well behaved, minus a few fussy times which is normal. We all stayed the night and Here are some pictures of Grandma feeding Aidan and drying off Layla.

That is Nuts!

Remember Brutus the Squirrel?!

2 Peas in a Pod!

Here is a picture that Kendall sent to me at work with his phone the other night, It is of Layla saying her nightly prayers apparantly!! hehe, Kendall said he didn't mess with her she posed like this on her own.

October is here!

Things have been pretty slow lately, just worked into the routine of school, babies, work, and starting all over! The babies are growing so fast, and each day they get more expressions and their personalities are showing more and more. Here are some pictures i took yesterday and today of the two little babes that have stolen my heart :) Here is Aidan enjoying the boppy pillow, he is looking out the window.
