Day 62: Reunited! (7/26)

We made it home to these kids. I LOVED my vacation and the time I was able to spend with just Rennie, however I was so excited to come home to these silly kids!

Day 48: Sami's Wedding Pictures (7/12)

Sami's wedding pictures came in today. I really enjoyed looking at them. When she published them, I looked through twice and then I had to FaceTime her so I could talk about them! They were wonderful. She comes over next Tuesday and we will go through them again together. How exciting!

Day 46: Family Pictures (7/10)

Today, we took family pictures!! I loved how they turned out. We went downtown and met April Belt there early Friday morning. April is a friend from Mayfield. The kids did well and so far all I've seen is the previews but I'm very excited to see the rest!

Day 27: Happy Father's Day (6/21)

Sometimes we look at each other and ask ourselves how we ended up with four children. It's a long story and most of you know it. I feel like I tell it a lot, however in my defense it gets asked a lot.

Happy Father's Day, Rennie! I don't know what we would do without you!!

Day 24: Date Night (6/18)

Yea!! We had a date night. I love summers because I get to spend so much time with my babies. Sometimes summers drive me bonkers because I get to spend so much time with my babies!! I know, I am crazy but it's hard sometimes especially because of the all the rain right now. We can't even head outside to play or swim.

This morning Rennie let me know he planned a date for us. I was so excited! We went out to Hensley's Top Shelf Grill in Yukon and then to a movie, San Andreas. It was nice and relaxing to eat without rushing or getting up and down for the kids. I enjoyed coming home to the kids in bed, however Wes and Gavin where not sleeping so I had to work with them to get to sleep. It was almost a perfect night. ;)

Day 15: Gavin and Eisley (6/9)

Rallie and Wes have a special bond, so it warms my heart tremendously that Gavin and Eisley have a special relationship. It's hard to explain because right now it's just little things that Rennie or I notice about them. I can only give you examples of things we notice.

When Gavin wakes up (which is usually later than Eisley) and comes out of the room, Eisley screams and runs to him, she hugs him and puts her head up to him for a kiss.

When Eisley wakes up from a nap and Gavin goes in first. She jumps up and down and babbles something excitedly.

If Eisley's crying and I can't get to her right way, Gavin is usually there to sooth her until I do.

When Eisley gets in trouble and goes to her room, Gavin follows her to comfort her.

Eisley is always included when Gavin is around.

When sitting on the couch the first place that Eisley chooses to sit is next to Gavin.

Eisley is defiantly the baby in our family and treated as such but she and Gavin have a special relationship that I am thankful for everyday.

Day 14: Cousin Love (6/8)

Rye and Cort came to stay for a few nights. Gavin, Rallie, Wes and Eisley have enjoyed it so much. We haven't done anything but play outside and go swimming. However, at the end of the day everyone is exhausted (myself included!) I did plan on going to the zoo tomorrow morning but I can't find another adult to go with me so I don't think its going to happen. Really the hardest part of it all is when its time to sit down to eat. Six kiddos eating together is something to watch, watch because that's all I really do. Then I go back and forth to the kitchen to refill plates and cups. It's been a nice few days. The kids have had so much fun!

Day 10: Matching Tattoos (6/4)

I have been begging Rennie for years for a matching tattoo. He has finally relented and we both got a 143 tattoo. Mine is shown and Rennie put his on his ankle. So you are probably asking what does 143 mean? It means I Love You: 1 letter in I, 4 letters in LOVE and 3 letters in YOU. It was something my mom and dad always used and I loved it so much I brought it into our marriage plus it's really nice when texting. It's how, at times, we say we love each other.

Day 128: Book Fair Week (5/8)

LOVE book fair week! It's so fun for the kids and I always walk away with some exta books. Also, during this week I am not so busy and I get to relax on my lunch break and not work through it! I get to catch up on some reading. Whoot- Whoot!! :)

Day 122: Still Holding Hands (5/2)

Twin bonding must be amazing. They seem to know where each other are all the time. Most of the time they reach or look for the other. Today, when we were changing their diapers they found each other's hand and held on! AMAZING!

Day 115: Ballfield Nights (4/25)

Love spending my evenings at the ball park. Reminds me of growing up in Lake Worth. The twins are going to love running around when Gavin's playing, Rennie's coaching and I am keeping score. This is how I imgained my life when Gavin was first born. Rennie and I talked about the day he would start playing ball. I love it and I can't say it enough!

PS - Rallie is way into sucking her thumb. I know I should discourage it but I think it's so adorable I can't help it. :)

Day 87: Letters (3/28)

Nana and PopPop are wonderful at sending letters in the mail. So are Aunt Sharman and Uncle Brad, they both never miss a holiday. Gavin loves ripping them open and "reading" them. He really likes opening Rallie's and Wes' for them. I don't think he's going to like it when they are able to do it for themselves!

Day 80: Our Babies (3/21)

Day 56: Holding Hands (2/27)

Whenever I lay the twins close enough to touch they always end up wrapping their arms. LOVE. They really enjoy being next to each other and will usually calm down faster if the other is near. It's so fun to watch them interact. They will look for each other and sometime coo at one another like they are talk. They follow Gavin around with their eyes and smile at the silly things that he does. They are becoming so aware of their surroundings.

Day 56: Relaxing with Twins (2/25)

After a long day at work, there is nothing I love more than coming home and holding my babies.

Day 52: Snow Day (2/21)

I received a phone call at 5:56 am this morning and school was canceled! Rallie was already in our bed and Wes wasn't far behind at 6:32 am and Gavin was right behind him at 6:44 am. The babies need a diaper change so off came their jammies and they received their morning bottles {4 oz each!} and on came the cartoons {for Gavin} and everyone was content. Even Boog who was enjoying a rare nap on the bed. So I had to get a picture! This picture will be a great keepsake for years to come and I will always remember the feeling I had when I took it: LOVE, happiness and contentment. I love my family!

Since I had the day off I decided to use it to get Wes checked out at the doctors. He has some bad cradle crap {I know it's cradle cap but crap sounds better} and some eczema on his face and arms. The doctor gave us a prescription for a steroid and then all this wonderful formula! I am so blessed! It was definitely worth the co-pay and the doctor's appointment.
