May Day!

Play time on the floor. They love it! You build a pyramid and they love to knock it down! Caitlin is almost crawling. She will get on her hands and knees and start to rock. She seems to go backwards! Connor is trying to pull his knees up under him. He is moving forward though! Kaiser, you may want to find a good hiding spot now! We are getting ready for our trip back to Utah. It will be their first plane ride. I just hope it all goes well and they sleep. I do not want to deal with a screaming baby for 4 hours on a plane.

Here they are wrestling in the arm chair, which will stop soon, they are getting to big to continue.

Diva Shots!

Awesomeness!

We went and had pictures of Connor and Caitlin taken yesterday afternoon. I have learned my lesson, next time we schedule for the morning. Caitlin isn't fond of strangers looking at her, add that to me waking her up yesterday made for some great fun. She was a little cranky. Connor, he just had great time. he was full of smiles and giggles. I should've taken pictures of them in their little outfits, but I let my camera battery die! That will teach me.
Anyway, both are staring to move around a lot more. Caitlin will push herself onto her knees and move backwards. Connor is rolling over by himself a lot more. I am afraid that once he sees what Caitlin can do, it will only be a matter of time before he starts. The vet told us on Saturday that Kaiser is what they consider a geriatric dog. He is 8 years old, and for a dog his size, that makes him one extremely old man. His hips just aren't what they used to be. He is starting to show signs of aging. We like to take him to the off leash dog park on Sunday's, where he has a lot of fun trying to chase and keep up with the younger dogs. Sometimes, we come home and he will sleep for the next two days. But he really enjoys himself and that is the most important thing. Caitlin has turned into his B.B.F. (best baby friend). She likes to touch his head like she is petting him, and whenever she sees him enter the room, she gets a really big smile on her face and starts to jump around. Kaiser searches the room for her and will go over and stay by her side. I knew he'd be okay with the kids, but he is awesome with them. Really, I couldn't ask for a better dog.
This is Kaiser checking to make sure Connor was okay. When we were waiting for the kids to get here, we had finished their room upstairs. We left the door open one night, the next morning we found Kaiser asleep between the two cribs. When we moved them upstairs into their cribs at night, Kaiser would wake up and go upstairs with me to check on them. See I told you he was awesome!


Here is a picture of Connor and Caitlin playing on the floor the other day. Apparently it is a lot of fun for Caitlin to put her hands in Connors mouth. It's fun now, but not when he gets some teeth!

My Little Weeds!


Growing like weeds I tell ya!
Caitlin and Connor went to the pediatrician for their 6 month check up today. They have both grown 8 inches and tripled their birth weight. Connor weighs 19lbs 4.5 oz, Caitlin weighs in at 18lbs 4 oz. (yikes!) The doctor is pleased with the way they are growing.

Happy Easter (Yesterday)!

Happy Easter!
Here they are sitting in the chair letting me take their picture in their Easter outfits. Actually, my mom sent them outfits for Easter, Caitlin is wearing hers, Connor's shorts were too small, so he is wearing the overall's his Great Grandma Charlotte bought for him. I swear, I blink and he has outgrown something. If he keeps growing like this, I won't need a step ladder anymore.
We had a good day yesterday, watching the Masters Golf Tournament and eating dinner at Great Granddads house.
Here are pictures of Great Granddad with both Caitlin and Connor.
They both love their Great Granddad Keever. They will be meeting their other Great Granddads next month. I will post those pictures when I take them! I can't wait to introduce them to the rest of my family!

Smile!



It's not very often that Caitlin and Connor smile at the same time. So when they do, I try to take a lot of pictures! I think they both very beautiful smiles! Heather had sent to us these wonderful long sleeved Double Trouble onesies. It snowed here yesterday morning, so it was a great time to wear them!




Caitlin is trying to sit up all by herself. Connor is using my pink pillow as a prop, his bottom is really round. After a few seconds sitting, he has a tendency to fall over.

He decided he really liked his feet.
My mom had sent them an Easter outfit complete with tennis shoes. Needless to say, this is the first time they had shoes on. They didn't know what to think of them.









As you can see, they will be able to wear their shoes for a little while, they are big on them. That is my hand holding the shoe up to Connor's bare foot.
It has been a huge adjustment staying at home with them, I miss talking to people, and I especially miss Alice, Gloria and Jodi from work. But I have enjoyed watching Connor and Caitlin learn new things and growing up. It has gone by so fast! They will be 6 months old this coming Saturday! I seriously don't know where the time has gone!

Brady and Alison!


I love my niece and nephew! They are probably two of my most favorite people in this world! This past summer we had the pleasure of having them spend 8 days with us! They flew on an airplane all by themselves which made me so proud, of course Brady had to tell the lady sitting next to him that we were expecting twins, . So when she disembarked from the plane, she congratulated us! That was the weirdest thing ever! Here are some pictures I took of them.


We went to the Georgia Aquarium, Allatoona Lake, The Braves game, White Water. I hope they enjoyed their time back here as much as I did! The only thing that was not enjoyable was the mild twister that put two trees through our roof! At least there were no flying cows! ( the movie Twister). Everyone came through that experience in one piece.
Any way, I just wanted to let them know how proud I am of them and that I love and miss them very much!
