Dumped My Camera

Well I only had a handful of pictures on it, which is a good thing because deciding what pictures to post would have been something lol.

I always seem to get a lot of eating pictures of the boys, its the one time I can get them to stay still for close ups
They go: Cayd, Ty, Cayd, Ty

Of course Jess will be like MOM!! when she sees I put this one up
Hahahahaha

The boys snuggling with the giant Teddy

Some more pictures from Larry's Birthday

Neighborly Surprise

We have these neighbors (no not the idiot firebugs lol) and they are really nice people. The husband works for the same company as Larry but works with the suits because he is an engineer of some sort.
We know them but havent really gotten together or spent much time with them. Ya know the neighborly exchange of xmas cookies and b-day party invite.
Anyway after the boys were born and they found out about them they had come down and gave them homecoming gifts, they also got them some really nice b-day gifts. Remember these are people we dont hang out with on a regular basis.
Anyway Tammy came over this past weekend asking if Chantelle could come and hang out with her niece while she was visiting from California.
I figured cool, something for Bug to do and someone new to meet. The girls hit it off really good. They watched movies, rode the dune buggy, roasted hot dogs and marshmallows in the evening etc etc.....

Well Sunday Tammy invited Bug to go shopping with them. I felt bad because I didnt have any money to give her to spend but Bug said it was ok.
She came home with bags of stuff!!!! Some of it was for Jess's babies too.
Between the 2 girls she spent almost $400.00. I couldnt believe it!!

Telle got a back pack, 3 pairs of shoes (totalling about $80), 2 outfits, socks, bath and body stuff, perfume and jewlery

Jess got 3(6) outfits, 2 blankets, 2 towels and some receiving blankets. Telle said she wanted to buy more!!

Its a shock to have someone do something like that for my girls, it was just for the fun of it to see someone else happy. She told Larry she enjoyed doing it.
We appreciate so much what she has done and the girls are going to find something nice to do for her in return as a thank you.

You may kiss the bride — no, the other one

Identical twins who have shared proms and more marry in double ceremony

YORKTOWN, N.Y. - Here comes the bride. And here comes the other bride, who looks just like her.

Identical twin sisters Francine and Maria Munafo have added their weddings to the list of special events they've shared by marrying in a double ceremony in suburban New York.

The 28-year-olds became engaged to their longtime boyfriends on Christmas Day 2006 and married them on Saturday at a waterfront catering hall in Westchester County.

They both wore white strapless dresses. But Maria's had a touch of magenta and Francine's had some green.

After sharing their proms, Sweet 16 parties, graduations and now their weddings, the twins have decided to go their separate ways for their honeymoons: Francine and Jeffrey Parkinson are going to Disney World in Orlando, Florida. Maria and Albino Goncalves are visiting the Poconos.

Baby Shower Ideas...HELP

Ok well Im not going to do any planning until next month but Im being pushed by the inlaws so I want to have some things ready.
Im shooting for the beginning of Sept.

This is what Jess was told
Decorations, a cheap cake from Sams, mints and nuts

Uhhhhh NO!!
If people are going to take the time to come to a baby shower the host needs to provide more than that I feel. At least some decent nibbles and certainly not a cheap cake.
BTW this is all suppose to be done by them???
I dont think so, Telle and I are suppose to be giving it and they offered to help not take over with their cheap ideas.

Anyway here's where you, my twin mommie friends come in.
I need inexpensive food ideas that are appetizing
and
Baby shower game ideas

I plan on getting inexpensive prizes for the games and I have a rocking chair I want to decorate for Jess' little pregnant throne lol

I think we will be having it at the church so as I dont go bonkers with a house full of guest. Larry on the other hand wants it here so he can bbq and the MEN can congregate outside.
What do you think?

Brothers

Ok well Its Saturday and I am actually here alone with the boys.
Telle is out and about with our neighbors niece having some fun and Jess is out with Kevin's mom shopping. Larry was home but as soon as he walked in the door the work cell rang and he had to go back up to the shop.
Anyway Im suppose to be cleaning house....hahahahahaha. Im actually sick of cleaning all the time. I feel like I get NOWHERE!!
Soooo instead I decided to goof off until it was lunchtime for the boys.


I used smilebox and created some cute picture collections.

The first picture is actually a pose and the exact outfits from the portraits we had done. Its funny how they just got into that position on their own.
The second picture is just the boys playing around with the giant teddy bear
And the third picture are the smarty pants on the sofa. As usual Ty is making a face.

Pictures of just Cayden
He is my quiet one. Cayd is also a tv freak, he will sit there and watch noggin. He loves it. His personality is going to probably be mild tempered. He can be goofy at times but mostly reserved in character.

Pictures of just Ty
He has developed why a funny personality and is a real character. Its funny that at this age they learn to be so comedic. Sometimes I call him Gollum baby because when he gets mad he makes a face and sounds like Gollum from LOTR. Too funny.

Pool Fun

Opening day for the pool!!
As you can see the guys just could not WAIT!!!

Kevin and Tobias
These boys are TALL!!!
Kev is 6'4" and Toby is taller

Toby has adored the boys since they were itty bitty lol
(Yes thats my fat butt back there)

Ty and Cayden wanted NO part of the pool!
Too big of a bathtub or too chilly still.

Kevin with Cayden

Random Pictures of the kids and pool

The pool wasnt all the way filled yet but they had to go in on Sunday too.
They just couldnt wait and had spent the day at the zoo and it was a scorcher.

Larry built the "wall" behind Telle and Toby to try and block some of the dang wind. We havent had much wind since the pool went up....SO FAR!!!

My rant about the pool
We had an Intex brand pool and liked it a lot, this new one we have is a Summer Escapes brand.
With Intex there were valves to close off the water so you could check the filter and work with the vacuum. It also came with an under mat and nice cover, along with hoses for the vacuum.
With this new pool you have to GET IN the pool to put plugs in the hose holes in order to clean out the filter, there were NO additional hoses for the vacuum nor directions on how to use it. It came with a solar cover....yeah right blue packing bubbles in a piece big enough to spread out over the water. This is a very cruel joke to someone who is a packing bubble addict. DO YOU KNOW HOW BAD I WANT TO POP THEM ALL!!!! Ohhh and they didnt include an under mat but were kind enough to put a blow up raft in the box, Big flippin whoop!!! Like we will use it.
Anyway of you are planning to buy this type of pool or any other i recommend the Intex brand!!

Belly Shots 19 weeks

She's getting a bit bigger now and will be 20 weeks this Sunday.
Jess has been having back issues already but I gave her the support strap I had and its helped some. She has tried all the exercises and takes tylenol but it wont let up much.
We are desperately needing to get her another bed because the one she has is a POS. Just waiting on that damn stimulus check to get here......in July!

Chantelle's First Boyfriend

This is Toby
He has been friends with Jess and Kevin for awhile.
Him and Telle have liked each other since like February.
Dont you just love the get up?
LOL

Telle and Toby on their first date to the Spring River Zoo
They had chaperones, lol, Kevin and Jess tagged along under mom orders
Another big LOL

Toby was over this past Saturday and offered to put Larry's new grill together for him, which in turn earned him brownie points with Dad.
He got it done in 2 hours and had never put one together before.

All the kids enjoyed the day here Saturday. I was going to say lazy day but the boys didnt have it so easy. Larry had them helping him prepare for the pool. I will have pictures up in another post of some pool fun.

Taking one of many breaks since it was pretty hot out.

Saturday evening the kids just lounged around......

......and play the Wii
The guys most definitely love the boxing
LOL

Another boyfriend!!!
And that is why I had to post the Application to Date my Daughter" LOL
Im still waiting to get that back
Wish me luck!!

Larry's Birthday

Well Larry turned 50 June 5th
The kids and I did a little something for him.

I saved my dollars for 3 months to get him a gas grill. He has never had one before. I had gotten $90 saved and Kevin helped by chipping the rest towards his gift.

The boys helped him unwrap it.
I had to use 3 different kinds of paper to get it covered....spongebob, camoflage and balloons.

His favorite flavor cake is chocolate but they didnt have any good ones on hand so Jess grabbed this one because red is his favorite color.

Jess got some really good pictures of him smiling. I know it made him feel good to have a little something for his birthday and that makes me happy.

The icing left stains on the skin (on everything for that matter) and Larrys lips looked like he had lipstick on. He willingly posed for a lip picture but you really cant see it very well.
We were kind enough not to make him wear it lol
