Baseball season

Jordan (#8)is playing baseball again this season. He loves playing baseball. There is a huge difference in skill level this year from last. His coach actually nominated him to try out for the All Stars this year. He is very excited about. Try outs will be on the 15th. That is the days of Landon and Jalen's bday party, but it is during a time frame that Jordan can go. Here are some pictures from opening day. Jordan was 5/5, hit a double play, and the team won 19-9.

Turkey Season

Jeremy killed his wild turkey on the first day of open season. I can care less about hunting, but it is his passion that he shares with his dad. When he got back to his dads, he wanted to take a picture with the boys. As you can see in the pictures, Landon has the same idea as me and not showing any interest. Jalen on the otherhand, was all about it. He was excited that this year he got his turkey. Last year, I went into labor and changed his plans. :-)

Jalen is hungry.

My two little "walkers"

I am sure we will be having some walkers soon. They have been cruising for a few weeks now and constantly using their walking toys. Here they are in motion. You can see in the background how messy they can get with their toys. :-)

Season of twins!

This baseball season we are surrounded by other twins. Yesterday Jordan had practice and we saw 5 other sets of twins. There are identical twin boys on Jordans team. He is having a scrimmage game tomorrow against a set of twins. Plus that twin mom has another set of twin girls! While the boys were playing, these adorable 3 year old identical twin girls came to play with them too. I have never really paid attention to other twins until we found out we were expecting twins. Now it seems like we see twins everywhere. The best is that our neighbors right next door has boy/girl twins that just turned 2.

Here is a picture of the boys and my husband during practice. They love watching them play.

11 months old!!!

Wow! I can not believe they are 1 month shy from having their 1st birthday! Time is going by too fast and I think that I why I was so emotional this morning. I can imagine what the morning will be on their 1st birthday. Landon and Jalen are getting so big and learning new tricks everyday. Picking the mod monkey theme for their birthday was perfect since all they do is climb. They climb on EVERYTHING! Landon even thinks he is Spiderman and tries to climb the wall. They are now starting to feel less interested in baby puree food and want table food. They are all about feeding themselves and eating off of my plate. They are not walking yet, but I see it coming soon. Landon has actually took a few steps, but fell. They do enjoy walking with their rider. Here are some pictures I took this morning. It is getting impossible to try and take their pictures. I was chasing them all around their little playroom.

We have teeth!

It took almost 11 months, but Jalen and Landon now have teeth! Jalen got 1 & 2 earlier this week. Landon just cut his first tooth this afternoon. I thought I was going to have toothless 1 year olds. :-)

Early birthday gift!

Grandma and Grandpa from Chicago wanted Jalen and Landon to have their birthday gift early. They got them this awesome wagon. It is exactly what they wanted. They rode in this wagon before at the zoo and loved it! I just knew this was the kind they needed. It comes with a canopy for shade and cup holders. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa! Here is a picture of the wagon.

We have a tooth!

It took almost 11 months, but Jalen has cut his first tooth. It's funny because Landon has been the fussy child with the swollen gums. Jalen has been acting as if nothing was wrong. Landon has had swollen gums for months now with excessive amount of drool with being fussy here and there. The tooth is still itty bitty. I will try to get a picture when I can. Here is a picture of my "not so baby looking child." And no we do not wear the hats that way. :-)

Happy Easter!

Today the boys celebrated their first Easter. The weather was beautiful and everyone had a good day. Jeremy took us out for breakfast and then we headed to the Easter egg hunt. Jordan had a blast. Where we went they block off sections for age groups. This is nice so the little ones are not being trampled over the big kids. Jordan was suppose to be in the 5,6,7 age group since he is 7. However, he thinks himself as an 8 yr old since his birthday is next month. Plus he wanted more of a challenge to find the eggs. He did not like how his age group had the eggs all in the open. Here he is getting ready. (He was too cool to carry a basket :))



Sorry this one is blurry


After the egg hunt, we headed home so the boys can get their much needed nap. Jeremy and I cleaned out the garage until it was time to leave for Grandma and Grandpas. We had a yummy dinner and the boys enjoyed eating fresh sweet potatoes. Here are some more pictures from today.
