Finger Painting

Today the babies finger painted for the first time and we had so much fun. At first Elijah was freaking out about getting his hands dirty but he evently got over that. Elizabeth tried to eat the paint once and got upset when I told her no but she too got over it and had fun. Here is a video and some pictures of the fun.

All the hard work

Most of you know that Jeremy is the sophomore student council advisor. This is the second year that he has done this with the same group of kids. He had a choose to either remain the freshman advisor(which is what he was last year) or move up with the same group of kids and he choice to move up. He loves these kids and although it is so much hard work he knows it is worth it. They have been working on putting together a float and decorating their halls. I wanted to post for you a picture of just the back drop for their float. Shawn drew the castle for them but the kids did all the painting...I am so impressed!!! Next Friday is the homecoming football game and they will be displaying the floats during half time. I can not wait to see the finished product. Shawn, Chelsea and Cora are going to come with us and we will get alot more pictures then.

I Just Don't Know...

I was asked to post this for my husband and brother-in-law. They, for some reason, decided it would be best to put Elizabeth's sunglasses on. Here are the results of that. Oh, and it is incredibly freaky. They also said something about this being the only way they could look cool in the "purple rain"...we love you Shawn Mann.

Papa's Here!!!

My dad is here visiting for a couple of weeks. He and a friend of his drove cross country for fun and is now here with us. The twins remebered him which made him very happy and of course Elizabeth has him wrapped around her pinky already. So much so that today after they woke up from their nap he changed her poopy diaper, which most of you know is not something that my dad does...that is one of the reasons he loves being a grandpa, no dirty diapers. It was precious and I am still in shock from it! Anyway here are some pictures of the babies with their papa.

Papa and Elizabeth cuddling.This was not a "mess up" picture...I told him to smile and this is what I got...wow.
And this one...not too sure, but I thought it was blog worthy.
Ok, there is a cute one. I could not get Elizabeth to smile in her pictures but here are a couple of her being a grumpy gus...

She was singing the Blues Clue's song but I could not get her to smile...she is still cute.

Growing Like Weeds

Because we are around our children everyday, sometimes it is not as apparent to us how much they are growing or have grown. Tonight I put them into jammies that "papa" bought for them at the beginning of the summer and at that time they were HUGE. They are 3t but a one piece and the last time I tried them on them they were way too long and really baggy on the sides. Tonight however I was very shocked to see how well they fit. Anyway, here are some pictures of my babies...
My little cuddle bugs!!!

All By Myself

It is shocking to me what our two BABIES are learning to do all on their own. Elizabeth practically dresses herself, infact last night I was folding the clothes and she picked out her outfit for today...shirt and pants and they matched, I was impressed. Elijah loves to brush his hair after his bath and most of the time he does a really great job but this time he got the brush going the wrong way...so cute.

He started off pretty good then....
Oh my goodness...haha.
So I know that I have done alot of laundry basket pictures but this one is the histerical. Elizabeth just goes along for the ride and Elijah is literally screaming "Wow". Kids are so much fun!!! Sorry "mama" I know this is kind of an Elijah blog but the last one was mostly about Elizabeth so I was trying to make up for it. How did I do?

New Year



As most of you know Jeremy started school again on Wednesday and I have the privilege of watching another baby. I never thought that I would be doing this as a "job" but it is what God has called me to do and I am loving it. The baby's name is Emma and she is 7 months old, she is so cute and the twins just love her and she really likes Elizabeth. It has kind of become a joke at school because Emma's parents not only work with Jeremy but they are also English teachers so all of the parents of the children that I watch are in the English department...they call me the English department daycare...not sure if that is good or bad, but once again I must say I love it. I wanted to post some pictures of her and of course our two angels.
