stylin'



Many mornings I go down and exercise before the boys are out of bed. The other morning I could hear that they were up, so Greg said he went in and checked on them- both were soaked. After he stripped them down and got fresh diapers on them,  he said that Miles wanted to come down and show me his boots- so there you go.

We are still working on the videos- now I am trying uploading them to youtube: reading letters

Just a pile of leaves

Last week we were looking for something to do- thank goodness that the leaves are falling. Mom raked them into a big pile and we were giggling in no time.

"Now THIS is what fun looks like!"



Just a little more fun: playin' in the leaves

Tornado!

If there is one thing that I can tell any new Mom of toddlers (especially twin Moms)... if they are quiet something is up. Now, someone needs to tell the Dad's too. This is there room after Daddy left them alone for a few minutes.

Yes, their dresser was empty.

Almost two! What's up with Miles and Camden

I thought that I would take a little opportunity to let you know what we are now able to do!
While our speech is still somewhat unclear, our vocabulary attempts are growing by leaps and bounds. We know many of our colors: Yell-yow! Pur-ple! are two of our favorites. Both boys can say Bye Mama! or Bye Dada! or Hi Mama, Hi Dada (thanks to Grandma Vickie). Camden will even throw out a "tank-you."They have to be in the right mood, but for the most part, they like to talk. Miles is beginning to count and Camden loves to read the letters on cars (like the license plates or H-Y-B-R-I-D which is what the Prius says on its side). Camden gets most of the letters right and Miles can go up to 5, but tends to get stuck using one and three over and over.
We love to push and pull things, and are climbing higher and higher (yay! great!). We can kick a ball and throw overhand without any problems. We cannot jump yet, but it is sure fun to try.
Our favorite things still include Thomas and "Emm-o." (Elmo). Camden will barely wear anything but Thomas or Lightening (McQueen) and throws a fit if he doesn't likes what he is wearing. This may make for interesting Christmas pictures.
We hope everyone is enjoying the cooler weather and is looking forward to our birthday as much as we are!

Family pictures...

These pictures came from Grandma's camera.

Pumpkin patch and Grandma Goodrich

Finally- fall break! Almost half way through the semester and soon it will be Christmas and Christmas break! Only 2 weeks till our birthday. Mom can't believe we will be a big 2!
Lots of fun over break visiting with Grandma Goodrich. We had fun playing and playing and going to the pumpkin patch!
Checking us out in our shades. They haven't been much for wearing sunglasses, but they seem to be warming up to them.
Camden always seems to know what to do to enhance his cuteness.
One cool dude!
Grandma brought us some neat new Halloween books!
We went out to Jackson's to pick out our pumpkins and have some fall fun.





What Noah really needed on the Ark.
Hmmmm... should I use the orange crayon?

"I'm not sure about this hat..."

"I am! I am c-u-t-e!"

Building the biggest tower of blocks ever.

"I am a great builder!"
