10MONTHS & CHEESECAKE!

 My little sweet men... growing up so fast! I cannot believe it has been over 10 months since you arrived into this world and I count my blessings everyday! Even the tough days ;c) 

A quick update, Cash you can run now! Shocking! Bentley, you are afraid of falling and are still reluctant to walk lol You both still have just 8 teeth, but with those teeth you eat just about anything! The two of you have so much fun together (most of the time)... and the three of us have a blast every single day! You LOVE music and are particularly fond of Christina Perri-Jar of Hearts... sometimes its the ONLY thing to calm you down lol

You also enjoy Kesha, Lady GAGA, Rhianna and well anything I like pretty much... Guess you get your taste from me ;c)

Its amazing to me how much personality you both have developed in such a short amount of time! Cash you are the 'brute', our little Tank that falls and never cries... but tends to take anything your bro has and knock down anything in your way*including him*... Bentley you are definitely a Momma's boy and very smart! You are just so stink'n cute you make everyone smile! The two of you are twice the fun, twice the love and twice the chaos but I wouldn't have it any other way ;c)

Despite the overwhelming JOY you bring into my life, I still need a few spare moments to be crafty, cook and obviously blog... SO yesterday and today I worked on this scrumdidillyumptious strawberry cheesecake while you napped!

I made it  with a mixer this time! haha Thanks Pink for letting me borrow it ;c) I must say that it turned our fantastically! Even Josh seemed to like it...lol

Cash Ryland & Bentley Jax... You are the BEST! I love you both equally and more than anything! You are my BEST FRIENDSSSSS! LOVE YER FACES!

First Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day! It is my FIRST Mother's Day as a Mother Of Multiples (MOM) to Cash Ryland & Bentley Jax! I am so fortunate to be your mother and to spend this awesome Sunday with the two of you!

This year I got beautiful multi-colored roses and an Olympus camera complete with bag! Woo Hoo!! * Josh got it for me*

I had a blast trying out my new camera on the boys!

For breakfast Josh made me a "Josh McMuffin"- english muffin, pepper jack cheese, turkey bacon, and scrambled eggs... It was so good that I forgot to take a picture! haha

Meanwhile I completed a new craft project! Re-do black stool into cool retro kids stool!

After all was complete and dry I let the boys try it out ;c)

I just love them oh so much!  And I think the stool turned out pretty cool too!

Josh showed off his juggling skills to the boys...

Ahhh I love my new camera!!!! Its been a while since I've had something special just for meeeeeeeee!

For Mother's Day dinner Josh had marinated drumettes the night before to ensure I had absolutly perfect wings! YUMMM! I love fooooood! Oh, and a bit of cherry cheesecake for dessert! 

It was a fabulous day and I am so grateful to be a MOM to my wonderful twin boys! It was a long hard road to have the two of you and I am so thankful you are both happy and healthy little boys! I am looking forward to being your MOM forever and ever!

Cinco De Mayo

 Happy Cinco De Mayo! For our first family celebration we had vegetarian tacos and spanish rice.. yummmmmmmm! Yes, the taco filling is soy but looks like ground beef! It has a similar taste and is oh so scrumptious! 

Oh and it wouldn't be a holiday without a little drink'n ;c) 

Cash and Bentley, the two of you are still a little young to indulge in the spicy deliciousness.. next year for sure!!!

Frenchman's Bar Park

Today was without a doubt a Summer day! Since the boys like to wake up by 7am *Cash was awake before 5am and wanted to play with sleeping Bentley* we got ready and to Frenchman's by 11am! We were the only people for a while and it was VERY relaxing...

Cash Ryland showing off his cool shades and taking in all his surroundings ;c) Don't mind my talking in the video...its cute when Cash starts talkin'... and Bentley was still sleepin'...

 *Cash Ryland lookin' all stylish *

*Cash & MOM*

*(C)--(B-MOM-C)--(B)*

 

The boys had so much fun playing around on this picnic table... Even though I brought a humongous bag of toys, they would still rather try to eat the nasty wood bench.. grrrreat

Caught Cash with his snarl face.. HILARIOUS in person! I like to refer to him as a lil' grumplestiltskin (grumpy+rumpelstiltskin)... Yes, a made up word I use regularly and should probably be documented lol

Cute baby ka-tushies (another weird word) and shoes ;c) 

 I was immpressed by Bentley... He was bending down to pick up things and even stood by himself! In new shoes...GO Bentley!!

*Bentley Jax*

For snack they had some strawberry dried yogurt bits... sounds weird but its made for babies and they seem to enjoy the flavor ... They don't taste that bad...

By noon it was starting to warm up and the boys wanted their jackets and shades OFF! lol They had the most wonderful time together.. I love watching them interact... Bentley keeps testing Cash by putting his fingers in his mouth... *Last night he got bit HARD*... I don't know when he will learn haha

* Bentley is standing with his arms behind his head... soo cute! *They raced all over the grass... well Bentley followed Cash lol*

...SO a very very bad thing happened today... My camera dropped on the ground and it is broken.. ;c( I'm super duper sad about it... On the bright side I can get a new one for $100... BUT this one was a gift from my Mom when I had the babies last June.. *&^%%$#@$.. *The last group of pictures above was taken with my phone*

^ This is what was the result... then I tried to fix it and now it just makes a terrible click click noise when I try to power it on... Suckyyyyy

Despite the tragic mishap we had a wonderful time today :c) I love love love my boys and am so fortunate to be able to spend every day with them creating all of these wonderful memories!

First Beach Trip

Another wonderful Sunday with the family ;c) Today we decided to venture out to the coast for C&B's first ocean extravaganza!

Yesterday we purchased these little outfits, shades and shoes... just too precious and all ready for the BEACH!!!

We stopped on the way to check out the view and make bottles ;c)

Oh, and another stop to grab a snack and oil...

We finally arrived in LONGBEACH (Wa)! We were prepared and brought both carriers and allow us more freedom! It was our lucky day and we arrived just prior to the start of the Loyalty Day Parade! *10am-ish* Not bad for having twins!

The boys absolulty LOVED watching all the crazy floats, bands and firetrucks! Josh and I decided to indulged in a gigantic corndog *it was too salty and breaded* 

We went to Marsh's Free Museum to visit Jake the alligator man ;c) Josh showed off his 'true grip' and maxed out the machine! I got a rock'n patchwork sweatshirt, my fortune was read and I scored a yummy treat down the street...

 We finally made it down to the beach *we were blocked due to the parade* ... and guess what?! The babies were asleep! 

Little kiddos were totally exhausted from the excitement and mass amounts of people telling them how cute they are! haha Josh and I are proud parents and don't mind all the attention ;c)

I did put a bit of sand in a bottle so they could play with it when we got home... and I spelled out their names in the sand ;c) Josh showed me his amazing kite skills! lol

Since it was only 3:30pm-ish.. we decided to head south to Seaside and hoped the boys would be awake to see the ocean after all ;c)

After a quick trip down to the beach, we stopped at Norma's for some food... Josh had some Oyster shooters *GROSS* and I had an okay ceaser salad...

The trip was FANTASTIC! I loved every second of it... looking out the window, watching weirdos,  the parade, seeing the boys enjoy themselves and spending time as a family ;c)
