Getting in trouble...Together

So last night I was giving Maddie a bath and the twins discovered some cheetoes that were left by the lazy boy. They were ENJOYing them!

Grayson was stuffing them in by the handful...
I took my sis-in-law Kimmie's idea. She has a designated cabinet in her kitchen for her kids. Just for them...they can get in it, put their stuff in it...its all theirs.

I do keep a big box of garbage bags in ours...they love to pull EVERY bag out...here's some other things they get into together....
Maddie's crayons and markers...she uses them EVERY day, so there are lots of opportunities there....
I love this picture...if you look close you can see they are both SCREAMing their heads off! They both crawled under diaper changing table and got very stuck....

Grayson got so desperate for markers he CLIMBED on the table...

And of course...the NON baby cabinets...until two days ago when Greg finally got the cabinet locks on this was a DAILY occurrence. They haven't quite learned yet...they are still going around to every kitchen cabinet trying to open it...and (yeah!) getting shut down!

Whenever Laila climbs in/on something Grayson ALWAYS feels the need to sit ON her. : ) He is SO ornery...just look at that face...
notice the newly tiled shower Greg completed....nice!
Peek-a-boo

Zack

Zack Cooper came and visited us this weekend. Maddie is his #1 fan, and he tries to be a good sport. : )

We shamelessly made fun of him for bringing his 12 pack of tea with him. (He explained to us that he is training for wrestling and is not drinking soda)

He is a really good kid, and has actually enlisted in the army for after he graduates. His fam is proud of him.

Pancakes

The birthday gifts are still rolling in....

We got these super cute Georgian outfits in the mail today from Aunt Michael and Uncle Brian. Ahhhhh! They are so cute!

Greg's brother Brian and fam moved to Tifton, Ga in July with many other Heatcrafter's. We sadly missed them Sat. at the BD party.

I was going to post a picture of them from their going away party, but was afraid to without consent. : )

Police Dept. Applicant Test

A man, having applied to join the Clovis, New Mexico,police force, is being interviewed. The Chief says, 'Your qualifications are first-class but there is one test that you must pass before I can recruit you.' Sliding a small bag across the desk, he continues, 'Take this gun with 13 bullets, and go out and shoot six illegal immigrants, six Obama delegates and a rabbit.' The man asks, 'Why the rabbit?' 'Fantastic attitude!' says the Chief, 'When can you start?'

Big Mama

This is me one week before delivering the twins. With their birthday this week, I have been thinking about this time last year. I remember it was SO hot still. I was SO tired of people looking at me pathetically, and wanting to know how long I had left. I will NEVER do that to poor HUGE pregnant women.

Happy 1st Birthday to you....

It took them quite a while before they finally dug into their cake.( In fact, we had to cut Laila's up for her)

Grayson was LOVing the attention....AND the cake!
Favorite birthday toys


After everyone had left Uncle Chaddy and Aunt Manda brought their new baby over....Gator. Can it get any better?
