Misc

I have been meaning to post several different topics and have just not got around to it so this one encompasses several things. First of all, Braelyn and Bailey started summer school at one of our local church's last month. They work with children who stay home to get them used to being away from mom for a short period of time. The girls are doing really well and have a great time. They have five kids in their one year old class and two teachers so it is a lot of one on one interaction which makes me feel a lot more comfortable then if it was a large group. I bought them some backpack leashes at Babies R Us last weekend so I can take them by myself and pick them up without getting one ran over!

Another post I have been meaning to write is about our trip to the Fort Worth Children's Museum. We planned to meet Twyla on Tuesday in Fort Worth so she could pick up the boys since we had them a couple of days last week. Our intent was to go to the Fort Worth Zoo since Braelyn and Bailey have never been to the zoo but when we got there, we found out they were closing early that day and we didn't have time to go through the zoo so we decided to go to the children's museum. I highly recommend it for any age kids. They have a toddler room that has a lot of hands on interaction for the kids and they have a lot of stuff for the older kids too including a dinosaur bone dig. Here are some pictures from our trip there. I don't mean to bore you with so many pictures and details but I intend to make a blog scrapbook for the girls when they are older so I apologize in advance for my future posts as well:)

Beautiful Sight

I waited 26 years to see this sight:)



I am thinking about making our blog private since we share so many pictures of the girls on here and personal information. If you read the blog and would like to continue to have access then leave me a comment that you read it and I will add you to my list. If you aleady left me a comment on facebook then you don't have to again. Some of my family/friends have questioned me on how to leave a comment if you don't have an account. Just leave a comment as anonymous and sign your name at the end or click the name/url option and type your name in.

Thanks guys!

Memorial Weekend Part 2

Part 2 of our weekend begins on Sunday when two of the girls' cousins came up with Grandma Nancy and Papa Ole. They have 6 cousins but 2 of them come up quite a bit to play and the girls love it so much. They are such good sports with them even getting in the kiddie pool.




Grandma and Papa went back Sunday night but the boys stayed with us for a couple of days like they do every summer. We decided to take them up to our community water park on Monday. It was nice because so many people were at the lake for the long weekend it wasn't too crowded. The boys loved the water slides and it gave me a good excuse to slide down them too:) Of course their backs didn't hurt all night long like mine. Guess I am getting old..ha! We took Grammy along to help out with the girls in the water. They had a blast in the toddler area. Braelyn kept poing at the frog slide wanting to go down it over and over so we all took turns taking them down the slide.










After three hours at the water park, a trip to the pizza place, and then to Wal-Mart, the girls crashed so the boys and I watched a movie and made some cupcakes to decorate. I wasn't sure if they were going to like doing that or not but they actually had a really good time. Of course, they ate two that night but then they went home the next day and Twain and I finished off the other 10!!!!













I will post the last of our Holiday Weekend sometime this week.

Memorial Weekend Part 1

We had a VERY BUSY Memorial Weekend. The girls are completely worn out. I am going to have to break down our weekend activities in several posts so it begins on Saturday when the girls 'twin friends' came over for a playdate. Adrian, Nala, Braelyn, and Bailey loved playing at the 'beach' or at least that is what Nala calls it! They had a good time and no one got slapped, bit, or held down in the water!!!

Splash Pad

Braelyn and Bailey love anything to do with water so since this morning was so nice, we decided to go pick Twain up for an early lunch and head over to the splash pad at the park. This was their first time there and it definetely took them a little while to warm up and figure it out. Once they did, they had a blast!

Good Find

I had a good find and thought I would share it with you all that have allergies or have kids with allergies. Braelyn and Bailey have been on allergy medicine for about 8 months now and do pretty well most of the time but still have some outbreaks when they go outside. My sister in law told me that her babysitter used some children's gel for her allergies and swore by it. So, I found it at Wal-Mart and gave it a try. We love it. It is by Little Remedies and I love all their products because they are all natural, non medicated. Apparently it works good for adults too.
