Twins Laugh @ Crazy MOM!


As some of the closer people in my life know, I can speak in a demonic tone of voice that is quite scary... Now I would not intentionally try this on my kiddos but Bentley was making a similar noise and I wanted to mock him... INSTANTLY they both cracked up laughing!! It was hilarious!!! I decided this was too good and needed to be filmed *as humiliating as it is for me*... The boys are so FUNNY! I love them...





** I do the up-close at the end to show their teeth growing in... They are on opposite sides... Makes me wonder if they are mirror-image twins???***

St. Patrick's Day Craft

It dawned on me today that I slacked a little and St. Patrick's Day is just around the corner... A usual day for heavy drinking, wearing green, Irish pride and leprechauns with gold at the end of a rainbow...? Wait what? I'm a little confused as to how these things all came to be associated with one another in a yearly celebration...**Let me do some research** 

Well prior to interest in the history of the holiday, I knew I needed an outfit for the boys... hmmm... I didn't feel like trying to find two of the same size St. Patty's Day outfits at the LAST minute... SO I obviously needed to call upon my creative side and think of something for the boys' photo...First I went through the massive collection of "outgrown clothing" (Bentley can still wear 3 month clothing...) WOO HOO! I found some green 3-6mos onsies with a cute saying that could pertain to the holiday...I did a little home-made photo shoot and although they are EXTREMELY adorable photos I still wanted to do something MORE!


.Using two new plain white 'onsies' that I had been saving for whatever reason... also using a doodle of 'Lucky Twins' with a simple clover, green&black Sharpies and a green ink pad (left-over from my scrapbooking days)....
Now.... if I was creating just ONE and did not feel the need to make them IDENTICAL... I may have been more free in my artistic interpretation of my doodle... However; I am OCD and wanted them to look as similar as possible.. Meanwhile I practice ink prints for fun...
**(4 toed Leprechaun I almost caught once)**

I made a few mistakes.. so what... They are home-made keepsakes and it was fun ;c) I love 
you Cash Ryland and Bentley Jax!!!
I was inspired to do their individual hand-prints (which turned out to be extremely difficult)... I did a 'test', which turned out better than when I printed it on the 100% cotton onsies.... 

 Of course I had take some pictures of the boys for a themed print for their baby books... 

** I added some yellow balls to simulate gold ;c) **
However the green ink did not come off as easily as presumed... lol
**I also have black sharpie on my nail... haha


I love them so much its contagious... Just look at these sweet faces...hehe

Stroller Breakdown

IS it possible to breakdown in a stroller?!? YES! Today (being the first nice day in far too long), I decided to get out the BIG stroller and take those boys on a little stroll around the neighborhood... 
 PERFECT OUTSIDE!!! Cool crisp air, beautiful blue sky with white fluffy clouds... SUN!

  I don't really get out much... Taking out twins out alone is a big ordeal, as a result I spend most days indoors. I was PUMPED to get out and about! Just as we finished up a little off-roading.....

 I crossed the street only to have one of the front wheels completely FALL off!!! I'm talking all the nuts, bolts and bearings...SUCKKKKK!

I sat down to ATTEMPT to fix the tire, i'm pretty smart and figured how HARD could this really be??? Well... I realized pretty quickly I could not do this alone and called JOSH to rescue us from the sidewalk corner... 

**(Okay this picture is after he arrives but I had to show how impossible it was for me to get home...)**
After further examination, the black foot rest needed to come off in order to access the area in which the pieces belonged... (how did it come off in the first place???) A woman on a bike and a mom pushing her kiddo stopped to ask if I needed help (it was kinda OBVIOUS).... haha

Josh arrived like a knight in shiny RED armor! WOO HOO! HE realized quickly we needed a screwdriver.. Drove home fast, came back and fixed everything... 


Cash fell asleep while Bentley was talking up a storm the entire time... 


After the rescue, Josh turn to me and says "Bri, the back tires are flat..." lol SILLY me... 
We made it back safe and sound... Bentley has now fallen asleep and now its time to watch some Sprout TV with my Cash Man... 


WOW! What an adventure! Sure glad I had the camera in my pocket to capture these precious moments!!! 
THANK YOU JOSH for coming to the RESCUE!! I love you!!!

My Favorite Part of Life...

I am a MOM, a Mother Of Multiples and I wear that name proudly! From the first moment I found out I would be having identical twin babies, I knew I had a bigger purpose in life and they chose me to be their MOM! LUCKY ME! 


Now the purpose of this blog is to electronically document the life of my most precious gifts, Cash Ryland and Bentley Jax ;c) Yes yes, they do have individual baby books that they will be able to keep as something tangible, just in case this blog becomes lost in time... However; too many amazing memories are not being noted... One day I want to look back and read my thoughts (I tend to forget what I am doing, my mind is playing chess thinking ten steps ahead at all times)...

If you are not myself or wonderful boys, WELCOME! Please be polite, if you don't have anything positive to say, please keep it to yourself ;c)
