Honey, I um, lost the Kids!

I swear one day I really will lose them! They keep hiding on me!

Happy Halloween!

Well, they started walking this last Monday, I guess the good thing is they do everything together. Connor was first, Caitlin followed 20 minutes later. Getting a picture of them holding still is getting to be Mission Impossible. Here they are dressed up and walking around.

For their first real Halloween, they were dressed up like little monkeys. They weren't too fond of the costumes, I think they were getting too warm in them, and really, who would like a monkey face on your head? We drove out and had lunch with Great Granddad Keever - and made sure we had our picture taken with him.

They are not my little babies any more. We had to start using their big kid car seats.
So we watched "Finding Nemo" on our way out to Great Granddad's house. Actually, they looked at it a couple of times, me and Jayson listened to it. I am going to start playing the DVD on the virtual aquarium for them for the next bit, they don't follow story lines.
Anyway, we hope everyone had a great and safe Halloween!

PigTails!

Caitlin, that girl has a hot mess of hair! She was wearing pigtails today!
And Connor, well, he has his Granddad Gene's hairline.

1 Year Stats

We went to the pediatrician today.
Caitlin's stats:
30.5 inches tall (88.95% tile)
24lbs 5.5 ounces (91.85% tile)
18" head circumference (69.05% tile)

Jayson kept repeating BeattleJuice at her.

Connor's Stats:
31.5 inches tall (92.03% tile)
26lbs 9.5 oz (91.45% tile)
19" head circumference (92.47% tile)

Having a bigger head doesn't mean more brains Jayson!
Growing like weeds and hopefully will be taller!
I need for them to start walking on their own, they are getting too big for me to be carrying them together!
Next, we teach Caitlin to leave her clothes on!

Playing with New Toys

Connor and Caitlin were given so many new toys for their birthday, you'd think they wouldn't fight over them. Here she is trying to push Connor's hand off of the music table.



Uncle Jeff and Aunt Lynne gave the kids My Pal Scout and My Pal Violet.


Connor was playing with Scout this morning, Violet kinda startled Caitlin when it wished her a good morning by name! But she loves playing with Violet now. It plays her favorite songs!

The First Birthday!

Yesterday was Connor and Caitlin's first birthday! Man, where did the time go? It seems like yesterday they were this:

This is them today:


We had a small gathering of family over to help celebrate their big day. We were lucky enough both Grandma's were able to fly in. In total we approximately 20 people here. We decorated the house with balloons which the kids loved.





When it came time for cake, the kids didn't need any help figuring out what they needed to do!




The white colored clothes may not have the best color to have them wear with blue and red frosting, but with a little bit of Dreft laundry soap, they were as clean as the day I bought them.
They had a wonderful birthday!

Yum! Breakfast!

We are getting close to the year old marker. I have started introducing milk to the kids in their sippy cups. They seemed to enjoy it, especially Connor.


Here are pictures I took of them yesterday morning.



They love the speaker cabinet in the entertainment center so much, I had to take the cover off.
