Girls At The Lake

After school let out the girls went to the lake with some of Jess' friends. I think they did this last year as well so I guess its turning into an end of school year tradition lol
This is where Kevin works too as a maintenance officer.

Here is Telle, behind her on the other side of that wall is a very deep lake. Its about 10ft before you hit the water.
Oh yeah the location is call Bottomless Lakes
I have actually never been there.

These next three pictures are of Jess and her friend Liz. Her mom use to be the principal at our school. We miss her so much!! Liz doesnt go to our school anymore but still gets together with everyone when she can.

Just some pictures of the kids in the water. They took some paddle boats out too. I would love to take the boys there but at this point it just wouldnt work. Even with sunscreen it would be way too hot for them and there arent that many shelters and sand and babies just dont go together for me. I dont even like sand up my butt lol.

Here is Jess and her friend Jacob.
He has a twin brother that didnt go with them.

Here is Jess with her friend Liz and Bernadette.
Bernadette is also a twin. Her sister was with them but wouldnt let herself be photographed.

Ans here is Jess with her Friends Jordan and Jacob again.
Nope, Jordan isnt a twin lol

Telle......

.....and KEVIN!

Just an added treat of Kevin with a mohawk. It lasted one day because it didnt look right. The front was cut too short lol.

Chantelle's Promotion May 08

Telle had her promotion from 8th grade to 9th grade May 20 2008
I guess Im better late than never with this one too lol
We found her dress at a bargain at Bealls. It was originally $75 and got it for $25. She would have preferred blue but a dress was a dress at that point, especially one she liked. Now shoe hunting was another story.....she has a shoe fetish but is very very picky about style. I think it took over an hour to find a pair that would go with the dress. I finally had to tell her she had 15 minutes to choose. The boys were getting bitchy and so was I. BTW her shoes are red.

Here she is in the hallway at the school before cake

Mmmmm Cake!

Telle with her friend Kimberly
(Larry is in the bg with Ty and you can just see my eyes)

Class of 2012

From what I saw of the ceremony it was nice. I couldnt sit and watch because Ty flipped every time there was clapping, hooting and howling. I went to the back of the auditorium and had to step out the door at every applause. Eventually I ended up standing outside looking in through the crack of the door to see the slide show. Eventually Larry came to switch babies with me and when he took Ty out Cayden flipped because Larry was out of his sight. So we both ended up missing the end of the slide show and giving out of shirts and certificates. Luckily Jess was there and got some pictures for us. Lighting wasnt the greatest but at least I have it to share.

Telle with her friends
Angela and Crystal

Bug getting pictures taken before the dance

They used the chocolate fountain that was at the Junior/Senior Prom
Mmmmmm CHOCOLATE!!!
LOL

Bugs last picture as an 8th grader
She is a High Schooler now!!!

I wish back when Jess had done her promotion they did it more fanciful (if thats even a word). The girls didnt dress up fancy back then. But hey I told Telle we can recycle the dress and she can use it for the Winter Ball. LOL yeah right.

Kevin's Graduation

Well this one is all about Kevin. Im a bit behind since Graduation was like a month ago lol

They have the ceremony out on the football field. We didnt get as many pics as we wanted since the boys were a handful, it was crowded and we didnt have a close enough view to get good shots.

Anyway here is kevin walking the the line, he's the tall one (lol). The zoom made it come out blurry since Jess didnt get up to the fence for it.

After ceremonies, Jess was in a mood but we got one of them together before he took off his gown.

Kevin at his parents house. He got a graduation singing bear, it sings "Money Maker". In reality I havent a clue what that song is lol

The Cake!

And its all over Kevin....

Just a couple pics of the party
His Aunt is in the orange and that is his cousin Troy. He has Menkes. In the Foreground are the girls.

The girls
Chantelle and Kevin's other cousin Rebecca. Her and Telle are in the same class.

Well that seems to be about it for pictures and stuff LOL

Next post will be Chantelle's promotion pictures

Catching up

Ok well I have loads to catch up and where to start is a hard decision. I guess I should just start by sharing some of last months baby pictures since its been awhile that I have shared recent ones.

Ty and Cayden are now 16 months old. Hard to believe they are getting closer to being 2 years old. They arent walking yet but are getting there. Ty can stand up on his own and Cayd wont be too far behind. Cayden will take up to 5 steps....when he wants to lol. Ty wants to but his stance is wide so getting his pudgy legs to go has been an issue.
















Cayden has 8 teeth in the front and Ty has 7. I felt in the back of their mouth and it feels like Cayd has 2 molars breaking through and Ty one. They seem to chew quite well now and they are drooling like dogs lol.

Both are experts at climbing up on the sofa and have their own way of getting down. Cayden does it right and swings his legs around, Ty likes to go head first with his hands out in front of him...crazy kid. Ty is also very proud of himself because he has learned how to climb up on the rocking recliner (an old recliner chair that was my granddads) . I have to still get a picture of him sitting in it.

Thank you for your interest, and it had better be genuine and
non-sexual.
Please allow four to six years for processing.

You will be contacted in writing if you are approved. Please do not try
to call or write (since you probably can't, and it would cause you
injury). If your application is rejected, you will be notified by two
gentleman wearing black suits, red ties and carrying violin cases. (you
might watch your back) To prepare yourself, start studying Daddy's Rules
for Dating.

Dad's Rules for Dating
Your dad's rules for your boyfriend (or for you if you're a guy) :

Rule One:
If you pull into my driveway and honk you'd better be delivering a
package, because you're sure not picking anything up.

Rule Two :
You do not touch my DAUGHTER in front of me. You may glance at her, so
long as you do not peer at anything below her neck. If you cannot keep
your eyes or hands off of my DAUGHTER's body, I will remove them.

Rule Three:
I am aware that it is considered fashionable for boys of your age to
wear their trousers so loosely that they appear to be falling off their
hips. Please don't take this as an insult, but you and all of your
friends are complete freaking idiots. Still, I want to be fair and open
minded about this issue, so I propose this compromise: You may come to
the door with your underwear showing and your pants ten sizes too big ,
and I will not object. However, in order to ensure that your clothes do
not, in fact come off during the course of your date with my DAUGHTER, I
will take my electric nail gun and fasten your trousers securely in
place to your waist




Rule Four:
I'm sure you've been told that in today's world, sex without utilizing a
'Barrier method' of some kind can kill you. Let me elaborate, when it
comes to sex, I am the barrier, and I will kill you.

Rule Five:
It is usually understood that in order for us to get to know each other,
we should talk about sports, politics, and other issues of the day.
Please do not do this. The only information I require from you is an
indication of when you expect to have my DAUGHTER safely back at my
house, and the only word I need from you on this subject is: 'early '
and 'yes Sir".

Rule Six:
I have no doubt you are a popular fellow, with many opportunities to
date other girls. This is fine with me as long as it is okay with my
DAUGHTER. Otherwise, once you have gone out with my little girl, you
will continue to date no one but her until she is finished with you. If
you make her cry, I will make you cry.

Rule Seven:
As you stand in my front hallway, at Parade Rest, waiting for my
daughter to appear, and more than an hour goes by, do not sigh and
fidget. If you want to be on time for the movie, you should not be
dating. My DAUGHTER is putting on her makeup, a process than can take
longer than painting the Golden Gate Bridge. Instead of just standing
there, why don't you do something useful, like changing the oil in my
car?

Rule Eight:
The following places are not appropriate for a date with my DAUGHTER:
Places where there are beds, sofas, or anything softer than a wooden
stool. Places where there is darkness. Places where there is dancing,
holding hands, or happiness. Places where the ambient temperature is
warm enough to induce my DAUGHTER to wear shorts, tank tops, midriff
T-shirts, or anything other than overalls, a sweater, and a goose down
parka zipped up to her throat. Movies with a strong romantic or sexual
themes are to be avoided; movies which feature chain saws are okay.
Hockey games are okay. Old folk's homes are better.

Rule Nine:
Do not lie to me. I may appear to be a potbellied, balding, middle-aged,
dimwitted has-been. But on issues relating to my DAUGHTER, I am the
all-knowing, merciless god of your universe. If I ask you where you are
going and with whom, you have one chance to tell me the truth, the whole
truth and nothing but the truth. I have a shotgun, a shovel, and five
acres behind the house, Do not trifle with me.

Rule Ten:
Be afraid. Be very afraid. It takes very little for me to mistake the
sound of your car in the driveway for a chopper coming in over an Iraqi
wadi near Bagdad. When my Hooah nerve starts acting up, the voices in my
head frequently tell me to clean the guns as I wait for you to bring my
DAUGHTER home. As soon as you pull into the driveway you should exit the
car with both hands in plain sight. Speak the perimeter password,
announce in a clear voice that you have brought my DAUGHTER home safely
and early, then return to your car - there is no need for you to come
inside. The camouflaged face at the window is mine.

Jessica's Ultrasound

Its Twins!!
Girls!!

Belly Picture at 18 weeks

When Jess got settled and Cindy started the u/s my eyes got big and Cindy pulled away turned and looked at me and said "You saw what I saw didnt you?" Damn straight I did!!
Kevin and Chantelle picked up on it but Jess was still in the dark. When she found out she was in tears.
Now in the beginning I asked Rachel if she thought it possible for twins and she said she didnt suspect a twin pg. Well the reason why was is because Jess is on target for the size of a single pg and that the 2nd heartbeat was missed because it was hiding behind the other.
Anyway Jess will probably attend school for a month until she hits about 30 weeks, depending on how things go. After that she will be put on homebound. Those arrangements I have to make in August with the school.

Reactions so far from my family
Larry: He laughed
Nanny: OMG
Mimi: "Speechless" and giggling
Great Grandma: "Holy Shit!"

Kevin's Family is excited

Jess's next appt and u/s is July 2nd. She will have an hour to check things out more thoroughly. There was a membrane separating the babies but I think she only found one placenta, they could be fused together. We are thinking Fraternal anyway for the boys and the girls since both of us have twins now. But who knows what twisted luck has been bestowed upon us. For all we know it could be a freaky thing and both sets be Identical.


I will try and catch up on other blog stuff when I can.

Jessica's First Belly Picture

Jess is 13 weeks I think
She was already a tad fluffy in the middle to start lol
Our next appt is May 13th
