February Pictures!

One afternoon Taylor was all cuddled up on the couch and said that she didn't feel good.  Rylee rode over and gave her a kiss on the forehead and then held her hand and said that she would be ok.  ADORABLE!!
 The same day Eva came over to play while Ashley went to a Dr. appointment.  Once I mentioned a tea party and a cookie - Taylor felt all better!!
 Oh Caleb.  He is my little trash collector.  He always wants to keep paper cups, straws, chicken nugget boxes, boxes, jars, wood chips...you name it!  I love boxes though.  I have a hard time throwing them away.  Casey loves jars.  All shapes and sizes.  We are all trash collectors I guess!  Where did he get that awesome mask you are wondering?  It's an empty lunchable container.  He even had another lunchable at school the other day and asked if he could save the empty tray so that he could make a mask for his dad.
 Taylor & Rylee have had a new bedtime/morning routine for a while now.  They have their arms STUFFED with baby dolls and stuffed animals.  They gather them up to sleep with them every night and haul them up the stairs every morning.  I finally had to make a rule that they had to pick just one for the day.
 Have I ever mentioned that I love sleeping baby pictures?  Luke is in love with his puppy.  But mostly just the ears.  He grabs the puppy, puts in position so that he can take one of his ears and bring it to his mouth.  He doesn't put it in his mouth, but moves his lips like he is sucking on a binky or something.  I am considering buying another just like it so that I have a back up in case this one ever gets lost.
 Trampoline pictures in February.  That's normal, right?  The static in Luke & Lexi's hair on the tramp is hilarious.  With the net all the way around the tramp that zips up, it is the absolute BEST outdoor play pen!
 Casey let Caleb pick out a valentine for me.  How cute is it that the 'O's are heart shaped?  SO CUTE!!  He got me some fabulous earrings.  They hang all the way down to my shoulders and have purple, blue, and green in them.  I like the wear them when I pick up Caleb from school.  I can't wear them at home because the babies think they are toys.  Silly babies.
 Boxes are so entertaining!! 
 Cooking and doing dishes is a disaster with these two busy bodies.  They are always hanging at my feet.  They love to help me unload the dishwasher.  They even know that when the timer goes off on the stove that something is going to happen.  It starts beeping and no matter where they are, they hurry into the kitchen and stand by the oven to see what is going to come out!  If they need a snack, rarely do they make it to their high chairs,  I've usually had enough after I get it ready & just give it to them on the floor.
 This girl and her thumb.  It is a terrible.  It is also a new thing of hers to put her legs in-between the slats in the crib.  She never cries, so I know that she isn't stuck, and I have watched her intentionally do it while she is sleeping.
 We celebrated my mom's birthday at the bowling alley in Brigham.  It was my grandparents first time playing air hockey.  I was playing with my grandpa and it was a S L O W game.  The winner is usually the first one that gets to 7, but we were taking so long that the table just shut off and we were only tied at 5!  Stupid table.
 How crazy is it that my mom turned 56 and bowled a 56??!!  I wonder if she planned that?
 Just wondering....have I ever told you that I love sleeping littles?

My ladies are 4!

This raising kids business is so rewarding and so sad at the same time.  They grow and learn so quickly!  Having twins has been such an adventure.  These two are the best of friends.  They never get a snack or a toy without grabbing one for their sister also.  If I get Taylor a drink she will say, "What about Rylee?"  And vice versa.  I love that they love each other. 
The unthinkable happened.  We had an outside birthday party in February!  Taylor is my bug and Rylee is my butterfly.  That is how we decided on what cakes they got this year.  The cakes were delicious...I nailed it this year!  Boo-yah!  The girls were so spoiled!  Everyone brought them a fun new toy or cute clothes.  Casey & I gave them new bikes.  They are natural little riders!
 We also bought them princess nightgowns and some awesome magnetic building tiles.
My sweet little bug!  She LOVES to cuddle.  While sitting on your lap she will put her cute little hand on your face and say, "I just love you."  She has the cutest laugh.  I hope that it never changes.  She is very kind and thoughtful.  She walks around on her tippie toes and I think it is adorable.
 My Rylee Roo!!  What a sweet and sassy spirit this one is.  I love hugs from his girl.  You can definitely feel the love!  She loves to tease and when she is teasing the look on her face in priceless.  She loves to be the boss.  She loves going to dance class and is practicing something she learned almost daily.
