Dodge Intrepid

Our New Pet

This little guy has been hanging around the house a lot lately finishing up whats left of the grasshoppers

Sleepy Guys

One of the very moments that the boys actually fall asleep before their bedtime. Most nights we cant even get them to settle in quietly and relax.
Ty is weraing blue and Cayden red.

He Did it Again!

Ok Larry was suppose to only be trimming his mustache and walked out of the bathroom like this!
Ugh!
Prickly lip for 2 weeks!

Haircuts Finally!

After people thinking the boys were girls so many times, even though they were wearing real boys clothes, I finally cut their hair.
Cayden was a breeze to cut but Ty cried the whole time and of course he got the shorter cut.
Watch for a post when they actually looked like girls.

Window Watchers

The boys like to sit by me in the dining room while I do whatever it is I so online and look out the glass door.

Bath Time X's Four

Yes brave us decided to plop all 4 kids in the tub at the same time hahaha.
When we out the girls in Ty and Cayd gave a look of What the hell? Apparently it was their time and didnt want to share it lol.
The girlies were only in a few minutes to rinse off, they do not stay still and we didnt want to play dunk the baby.

All Six

Ok yes I admit it my boys wear girls pajamas but what do you want they were free lol
We have pajamas that the boys and girls wear that match, this was just one of those matching nights.

Kit Kat

Well the boys are pretty particular about their candy, its strictly m&ms and hershey. I decided to try them out with a new one, kit kat.
Ty wouldnt even try it and you can obviously see Cayden's reaction.

Bears, growlll..

we got these bears last year for Christmas and the boys are finally just starting to play with them.

Wazzuppp...

Dinner time pictures I took. Have to get them when I can because they dont cooperate as much any more.

Remember those Budweiser commercials with the Wazzzup?
Think about it....

aaaaaaa.......

aaaaaaa...........p

The Look

Trampoline

Last but not least a short clip of Larry and Jess on the trampoline. It was given to us by a friend who didnt want it anymore. The boys just LOVE it!

Baby Butts

Halloween

Halloween 2009

It turned out not to be too cold for the kids to be out which was a good thing considering the day before was freezing cold.

After reading one of favorite blogs, Im Living Proof God Has a Sense of Humor, I would like to touch on Helene's lessons learned of Halloween.

1. The before picture: Never got it, didnt try. If I did it would have been a blurred black blob. Better luck next year.

2. You will never win, to bring or not to bring the stroller: On a normal day my guys will walk for miles but on Halloween night? Hell no! We did two streets, short ones at that and next thing we here is "up". When we say just a little farther and we can go they proceed to drop their gorilla butts on the grounds and do the limp child cry act. Ok my kids may be behind bit they are definitely not stupid. But Mom and Dad are we left the stroller in the suburban. Who knew....

3. You must bring back up buckets: Ok we really didnt need to because they didnt collect that much. It was all about the experience this year since they have sensory issues and their therapist thought it be a good idea to take them out and expose them to all the crazy ppl running around.
One truth though if you touch that bucket they WILL freak and think you are stealing their candy. They hang onto that pumpkin stap for dear life.

4. This one doesnt pertain to us this year. Neither one of the boys wanted something different than what was given but I do dread it ever happening. I can picture it now get a lolipop and want a candy bar and proceed to go into meltdown mode. Ughhhh

5. When their eyes begin to glow its time to head for home (you have to see this one on Helene's blog to get the full on effect). What are you talking about? My kids eyes are always glowing like demons, its not just for Halloween anymore.

6. Last lesson learned, no Halloween is complete without 1 child falling. Ty did stumble a little and kinda landed on his head but the big fall of the night was the last stretch to the suburban. Remember the "up" RE: lesson 2? Well I was carrying Cayden and when trying to dodge a bush hanging over the sidewalk my foor slipped and down I went...with Cayd. Smashed my knee and shin up pretty good. Cayden held himself well and lightly clunked his head on the sidewalk.
And that concluded halloween.


Now to back a little, before we did our trick or treating fun we went to a "trunk or treat" party hosted by a local church.
The boys dressed up as gorillas and Dad as a giant banana.

They were the talk of the party.

The boys were a bit apprehensive over all the action so didnt really participate in much but they got out and about a bit. They had a hard time taking all the noise and goings on in.

My two gorillas
hard to tell them apart in this picture.
Cayd on the left, Ty on the right

And here is the Big Banana

Had a little jumping in gorilla suits before going trick or treating.

Tiger and Monkey costumes we put on the girls just because.
We didnt take them out

Jaeda

Laurel

October 09 Birthdays

We had two birthdays for the month of October. The little girls on the 3rd and Chantelle on the 19th.

Jaeda and Laurel's party was held at their Dad's

The cake was very cute and the single cakes were spruced up to match.
(some of the pics are out of order...oops)

It didnt take long for the girls to dig in.

Jaeda just leaned right in for a bite.

Laurel used the finger technique

Jess and Kevin

Chantelle's 16th
We had a small little party for her.

Ordered a cake design and wanted to the colors modified to pink, blue and white. This is what we got and Larry didnt know to check it. =(
There was no pink anywhere!

Had a little accident with the cake while carrying it into the kitchen.

Ooops

The kids played guitar hero and hung out outside on the trampoline

All About Girls

Just Pictures of the girls

4th of July

We didnt do too much but were invited to the neighbors home for a bbq. So here is proof we DO get out of the house once on awhile lol

Jess took all the pictures and its mostly the boys :)

It was a bit warm outside so cars were brought out for them to play with inside

They made a friend while playing with the stones outside, Ty especially liked her but he likes all girls

They did really well with the cat and just loved him

Their favorite past time of the day was drawing with chalk. it occupied them for quite awhile although their clothes became nice and colorful.

Ty liked running around without his shoes, the grass was nice and cushy but Cayden didnt want any part of it.

Chantelle trying to play pool

Tammy our lovely hostess

More coloring

Larry

(L) Jesse and (R) Bobbi, she is an ID twin also

Trisha, her daughter is the one Ty likes

Even more coloring

Trish again laughing because she thought the flash of the camera was lightning

Jared (teacher at the school) and his son

They did some ground fireworks until the rain came.
The boys did pretty good with them and didnt freak out. They kept their distance tho and after each one would say "all done"

Last picture before leaving.

So that was our exciting day

Our Ride to the Mountains

We took a ride to the mountains a couple weeks ago just to get out of the house.
Nothing too special since the sun can be scorching and the boys can only do so much and tolerate so much.
We did head to an area that takes one towards the El Paso Gap. Didnt go as far as we had liked but it was still nice to go for a ride and see some different scenery.

Ty and Cayden

Took this picture when we had to stop and fix the straps on Ty's car seat. he wiggles a lot and gets it up on his neck.

After arriving in a little town called Queen (dont blink) we realized we werent going to be able to go farther or we would run out of gas so we headed back towards and area called Sitting Bull Falls.
This is the picnic area we stopped at to have lunch and stretch.

Cayden

Ty

Pictures of the view and area

.....and Jess

This spot has a trail that you can take to the falls. Its for those who like a hiking challenge, 5 miles long ^=^

Chantelle and one of the boys

Ty just hanging out

The girls took a short hike up to check it out.

My camera takes really bad picture in zoom so this is the top of the mtn near the tail.

And this is the same picture taken through the binoculars.

Diaper changing time

Cayden

Ty

They look like the same child here!!

Pictures I took while we were on our way home

This is upside down on purpose

Lots of cows along the road, they have right of way here.

Some video I took while driving down the road.

A Day at the Track

This was a little outing we had for the last home track meet of the season.
The boys enjoyed getting out since they had been cooped up for so long because of being sick so much.
They ran around and played with their spongebob glasses and Ty practiced climbing. We made it through with only one scrape which was aquired by Cayden.

The look on Ty's face is priceless here and gave us a giggle, he looks like he was after something.

"So Behind" Picture Update #2 April Misc.

"So behind" Picture update #1 Easter

This is just one of many "catch up" posts I will be putting up. I have a bunch, and I mean a BUNCH of pictures of the kids that I am behind on sharing.

"A belated Easter showing"

Here are some pictures from Easter that didnt get up just after the fact.

Ty helped color eggs the night before. Cayden had already headed to bed because both boys had been sick for the umpteenth time and wasnt up to staying up to color.Ty added his artistic talents before the eggs got dunked. I thought we had gotten after pictures but apparently not.

The boy's baskets

Cayden was the first to notice the goodies

Then Ty showed some interest

But got distracted by one of his tv shows

Both finally started digging into things

Out of all the candy put in their baskets and not they didnt really get into it. They are pretty picky about it. Give them a choc kiss or a choc bar and they will push the kiss away and eat the bar even though its the same thing.

Here they are not sure about what to do with the choc bunnies.
Ty eventually bit the ears off but thats as far as it got. They were also still under the weather.
