First Play Date

We hosted our first play date with our good friends Reid, Caroline, Tye, and Clayton this week.  While the babies played the mommies enjoyed lunch.  I met these girls when we were all just married and it has been fun to watch everyone's families grow!  I would say the date was successful...controlled chaos at best!

Seems like a good place to sleep

Yay George!

Busy Busy Bees

Our house is rarely quiet these days.  If you come for a visit you will most likely hear toys banging together, playing music, or landing on the tile after a good toss.  You will hear the constant nananana, mamamama, babababa, yayayayay, and dadadada from the twins. If George is eating something that he really likes then you will hear a sound a little something like num-num-num-num.  George seems to find his sister's antics pretty hilarious so you will hear him laughing when she screeches, wiggles around in her high chair, or has a 'moment.'  We are also drool central so get ready to be slimed by two teething babies.  Most likely your fingers will not escape their little chompers.  You will also witness more then a few tumbles as Clara is trying to figure out how to crawl and pull up.  Life is never boring at our house and I really enjoy the noise.

Having fun

Loving each other before bedtime

 Let us out!

Silly boy

We also really enjoyed a recent visit from Sarah and baby Addison.  She is so sweet and tiny it reminded me of these two monkeys when they were little bitty.  I can't wait to watch a friendship grow between these three little ones.  Love you Sarah and Addison!

We also recently went to a swim and dinner party at the Olson's house.  Clara's Godmother Brandi flew into town to say goodbye to her childhood home since her parents are moving.  I spent a lot of time in their house in middle school and high school so that house is full of memories for me too.  It was great to hang out with my parents, Dave, and Debbie.  Clara would not take a nap or close her eyes for a second.  I am pretty sure she did not want to miss one thing.  She also danced with Debbie to Beyonce's "All the Single Ladies."  It was pretty cute!  I was so happy to be able to spend some time with my second family and see my very best friend!

Bran and Clara

Guess who has the dominant personality?

Clara and George recently became really interested in the "Where's baby?" game.  Clara pulls the blanket off her face so quickly and usually with a huge smile.  Sometimes George likes to leave the blanket on his face for a minute before he pulls it off.  Well we've recently learned that Clara may be a little impatient...

George's giggle is absolutely adorable and it doesn't take too much to make him laugh.  This video has lots of his giggles with a little bit of hair pulling.

Splashing George

The twins went for a dip in the baby pool for the first time.  Clara lasted about 10 minutes before she was bored but George had a great time splashing and laughing.  Such a sweet boy!

Happy 8 Month Birthday to my Sweet Little Ones
