New Home

Where do I begin?!? Bentley and Cash, your Dad and I have worked things out and we are all currently residing in our new home ;c) It was a HUGE pain in the rear to move but well worth it! I wont lie, not everything has found a place yet... But we have settled in nicely and work every day to make this house our home.

It is obvious you both love the space and fenced yards! This house is painted and accessorized perfectly!Table chairs, deck, covered BBQ area... even rope light around the deck!

 

Oh and don't get me started on the crazy squirrels that LOVE the walnut trees! It is hilarious to watch them run around chewing off the outside to get to the nut and scurrying back up the trees... BUT at night they scare the crap out of me!

 

C n B, I must say that with an entire room full of toys you still enjoy climbing in the cabinets and spreading the tupperware around the house ;c)

Cheers to the new place! Our first family dinner was a bit boring due to the extreme lack of energy...

 

That night your Dad and I managed to both slice ourselves and required liquid bandage...  haha

I feel so.... HAPPY... nothing else can describe it ;c) I <3 our family!

----------------------------------

I want to note that it has been rather chilly and fluffy hates are our favorite... my next Etsy buy will be hats for you!

 I love you both equally and more than anything!

Cash is DONE

Cash, I must say that you are just one surprise after another! You were the first to start repeating signs (ASL) and to identify the different parts of your body.... Just now after breakfast you were being your normal defiant self and playing games with me.... I continued to ask you to show me (sign) 'all done or finished'  but you just looked at me as said 'done'. Now I thought this was a fluke so I asked you again to show me 'all done'... you leaned forward, looked me straight in eyes and said  in a very clear manner 'done'. I was so proud I got you down and ran over to document this precious moment ;c)

(Unfortunately you wouldn't stay still enough for me to get a picture of you)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

To keep things equal I will share another precious moment... Last night we were listening to music and dancing... I started to video and both of you want to be filmed obviously ;c) Gosh you both have the cutest faces (even covered in oreo) and the most beautiful eyes, of which I cannot define a color. How did we get so lucky?!  (If you are not Cash or Bentley I would mute do to my talking lol)

  Trust me little ones, I have many more pictures/videos to embarrass you in the future ;c) Like this one below..

You both love to give kisses to Mom, Dad and "Brudder" <3

I love you both equally and more than anything ;c)

Halloween Weekend

BOO! Scary eh? haha... I am not a fan of being scared but I LOVE Halloween! During the last couple of weeks we have been watching "themed" movies that are more classic, campy and comedic... Adam's Family, Casper, Halloween Town, Nightmare Before Christmas and such...

We finally carved our pumpkins a couple of days ago! We tried to multitask while making breakfast for dinner! YUMM! Mickey Mouse pancakes were a hit with you two!

 

Obviously you were extremely sticky and needed a bath ASAP!

 After we got all toasty warm in PJs and had a little Oreo snack before bed ;c)

-------------------------------------------------------------

Luck for us we had a dry weekend, but it was a bit on the chilly side... We ventured out for some grocery shopping and last minute costume props....

Since Halloween fell on a Monday this year, I felt the need to dress up Sunday too! haha I had to make sure it was awesome, right??

The day of Halloween Dad had to work a bit... when he got home we ordered the most amazing pizza of life (Papa John's) and got all fancy!

 

This year you both were a still bit young to endure trick-or-treating... So instead we visited the Grandmother and fam while they handed out candy...

 We went as a Rockabilly family! The best part is we can wear these clothes again!

 <3

Loveeee my boys equally and more than anything <3 

------------------------------------------------------------

 Ps.... Here is our picture from last year ;c) Stupid Party City didn't deliver our costumes on time (we were going to be doctors)... So you were vampires last minute... Super adorable pudgy little vamps!

What A Wonderful Weekend!

This weekend was fabulous! I couldn't have imagined a happier time as a family ;c) We enjoyed good food, great shows, fantastic walks, great family time and amazing shopping extravaganzas! It was fun-filled with memories I wish cherish forever ;c) Thank you for being outstanding little beings that I love more than anything in the world! * I love your Daddy too*

 

I absolutely love editing pictures of your smiling faces! I get to study every pixel and appreciate everything I have.... You two are truly amazing!

 

Lately we have been eating like "Rockstars" and having the most delicious family meals! Dad even enjoyed my vegetarian nachos and herb crusted tofu with mushrooms marsala! YAY!!

 ---------------

Sunday I made home-fries for breakfast and we all ate together ;c) I just love watching my boys...

 

YUMMERS! Honestly you both were more interested in dipping the pieces into the ketchup and licking it off... haha.. It was adorable!

Let it be stated that taking  the two of you anywhere is spectacle... we get the "Are they twins?", "You must have your hands full!" and "Double trouble, eh?"...We try to be as pleasant as possible, but really we just want to get our groceries and get out ;c) Of course this woman in Chuck's advised us to take you to a twin casting call... Ya'll are just so dang cute!

After a couple of stores and a little snack, it was time for your mornin' nappy poo... While you slept, we ventured over to PDX in order to see the Occupy Portland camp site! It is unbelievable...

 

After coming back for lunch (pizza), we headed out on a walk to Ross for a few new household items and to search for Halloween costumes...

I admit I was smitten by the idea taking a stroll with my family on this beautiful Fall day!

While on our adventure I captured some precious moments we will never again have back ;c) We made a PERFECT purchase (amongst others).. NEW pillows... I cannot tell you how amazing it felt or how much of a transformation new pillows made the bedroom! The four of us had a fabulous evening watching the telly and crashing out!

 

Of course you had a bath beforehand ;c) I adore these moments... So happy! Cash, I would have to say you were a merman in a past life ;c)

 

I had a marvelous weekend... I look forward to moving into a house soon and enjoying the holidays in a home with my loves <3

I love you both equally and more than anything!

ps. Here is a zombie-fied family pictorial-

 

Techy Twins

Being that I am almost 22 years older than you both, much has changed since I was your age... For example we did not have Tablets/iPads, mp3 players, digital cameras, hybrids, HD and pretty much all the technology you are growing up around... I am so impressed with you ability to just pick up these touch screens and know how to use them! Even on the laptops you touch the screen instead of the keys (you'd rather pick them off). Besides the App that makes bubbles pop, the two of you also love the one with pictures you touch and it makes the sound! I love how smart you both are... SO, I think we need to get you these...

 

It has an E-reader, music player, games, photos, art studio, coloring... everything you would need! It does say the recommended age is 4-10, but I think they would be great Christmas gifts!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here are some randoms from the last couple days ;c)

 Empty cabinets+Cash+Bentley=FUN!

 

Going somewhere with those keys son?!

  

Spaghetti? NOM NOM NOM!

Cash and Bentley, you guys crack me up! The two of you have the BEST time in life, always smiling! Thank you for picking me to be your MOM!

I love you both equally and more than anything!
