So it has been a while

A lot has gone on in the past months. The twinnies started walking around 13 mos old, and have been on the move ever sence. We got rid of the old house and moved in to a way better one. No more mold or leaky basement. We got lucky and go a place where we could move the livingroom from the basement to up stairs. It is so nice living on one floor again. We still have a basement but it is now only for storage and laundry. John likes that he doesen't have to spend 4 hours mowing the lawn anymore. It only take 1 hour to mow it at the new place.
My sister graduated from collage this weekend it was wonderful. The whole family had a shindig for her. We are so proud, she is a geanus. This weekend is full of excitment. One of my Bro-inlaws leaves for the military we are having his hoedown this saturday. We are so proud that he has found soemthing that he wants to do and will be happy at. The crowing date is my Mom in laws 50th birthday. This one is going to take some planning. I hope it goes over well.
Other than that we have just been busy with moving . I hate to move, but it was so worth it.

Here are some new photos of the twinnies. They got a sand and water table for there birthday and love it. Well J likes to try to eat the sand and K wants nothing to do with it.

Happy Birthday to us

So we turned one this month. WOOOHOO we servived the first year. What a first year it has been. By we are both now 30 inches tall and Bubba weighs 21 lbs and Sisy 22 lbs. We love to sand up and not walk. But we are still in to everything. Books are the best taisting things of all. Other than that we are all doing well, We have decied to move and sell the house. It is needin more work then we can afford to do sence the foundation went to crap. We are just hoping to get out from underneath it. We will be moving to a rental house. We are also about to be rid of all the credit card and time share debt also thank goodness. That has been one stressful long road. Now we can work on getting Hubbys car and bike paid off And When john gets done with school here in a year and a half I hope it holds true that I wont have to work anymore eather. We will have to see on that one.

This first year has been a trip. We ready to see how the rest of this year goes

Month 11

So we are 11 months old now. I wonder where the time has gone. Ahh its the lack of sleep that makes time go by so fast. That has to be the reason. Here are the goofies, there smiling now but no less than 5 seconds later Sissy was crying and brother has pushed her over.

For most of the day the kids free range around the up stairs. Seeing that the basement is still not finished . So we let them play, they sleep better if they don't spend all day in there huge play pen and I do enjoy sleeping through the night. Well before I went to work I forgot to re attach the child lock before I went to work. I got a text asking where the extra paper towles were. I also forgot to make a new set of baby wipes. Yes making are own wipes saves money and they work better than the store ones. When I got home aroung 6:30 ish after helping bro in law clean off his windows to his car. It seems that his ice scraper has walked right out of his car. I found the norm toys everywhere and low and behold cocco powder and an ink pad all over the floor. Hubby came up and showed me these pictures.yummy cocco and lookie mommys cook books
What can not be fully seen is brothers hands and feet covered in cocco powder and the hand prints all over the chairs and the floor. So far we are one for one. On my watch they got in to the vasaleen and got it all over the couch and the front room chairs. Other than that life is good, were getting alot of snow, im hoping that will help the watter table this year for gardening. Hubby got Netflix and is very happy, He loves not having to sepend the money to buy sesons of showes he wants to watch, and they come strait to the door.. Got one the SUV paid off woohoo. Rest of the family on hubbys side seems to be doing well. Bro-inlaw and wife-ie are going to buy there first home here shortly. There doing all the Home inspections and those goodies. Sis in law and Hubby are full time in school and sis got hired back at babys r us. They have a full house with Her hubbys parents living with them till they find a house in the area. My side is good, all are working and sis is liking teaching out at shawnee hights. Still have chores to do got to go.

Good evening

We finally go the last of Christmas done. We headed back up to Lake Perry. It was all good times. Bubba and Sissy are finally able to remember family we do not see every week. I was a great trip Bubba had a great time singing with Great Uncle Jack. Man he sung up a storm for at least 30 Min's.


Hubby got back from snow boarding with his brother and wife, and brothers friend.Brothers wife didn't say a thing to him all trip. I'm glad she didn't it probably would of caused a fight. Brother spent like a whole 2 hours with his brother the whole trip. Hubby was and is annoyed with this fact. He says never again. Apperntaly brother is planning on bringing more people next year. So hubby is planing our family vacation and we will tell brother where we will be he can rent his own set of rooms. Hubby made it back un broken witch makes me happy. The Babies were thrilled to have there daddy home. They wouldn't let go for at least a hour, it was so sweet to see.

Twin jabber

What a snow covered day.

I can happily say that we have had a snow. 8.2 inches in about two days. I do like the snow the four wheel drive makes it even more fun. Christmas has come and gone, We made out with out getting very many toys and there all Farley quiet. We got a lady bug that talks and flashes, a choochoo train and a ball popper, two potato heads ,plus some quite books that hubby's mom made for the kids church bags. For the most part it was clothes I like when the kids get clothes. They spend alto of time playing with spatulas , ice cream scoops , plastic Easter eggs, and the grocers. We don't spend allot of money on toys, my parents never did we played with what we could find. For the most part all of our toys were bought to grow with us.
We don't seem to be out growing them to fast sense we started clawing and pulling our selves up on things. Bubba is in the 4% for height to weight at 29 inches and Sissy is in the 45% for her height to weight at 28 inches. We were told to fatten them up. We have a great pedirition he is the bishop of one of the local wards in our area. Very honest and up front fellow.
We have wonderful news about Sissy's hemangioma's, we have three of them for those that did not know.

Hemangiomas go through three stages of development and decay:

1. In the proliferation stage, a hemangioma grows very quickly. This stage can last up to twelve months.
2. In the rest stage, there is very little change in a hemangioma's appearance. This usually lasts until the infant is one to two years old.
3. In the involution phase, a hemangioma finally begins to diminish in size. Fifty percent of lesions will have disappeared by age five with the vast majority gone by 10 years of age

We have hit the rest stage, they are not growing and are slowly turning gray and breaking down. They show so much progress that they do not want to see us back at Children's Mercy for a year. That beats trips every 3 months.




Here is our beautiful little girl now at 9.5 mos, she has the most blue eyes



Since I have put pictures of sissy up eating its only fair to add bubba and his messy self.


Over all were waiting for spring so hubby can enroll in the industrial tech class he wants to and start school. At that point he will stop having to run the mail, but that is okay I miss him so when he goes to deliver mail. We don't see much of each other or spend allot of family time doing things together sense i started working weekends . I specially worry about how poorly they maintain the roads we use for the mail. We go out to the boonies in the box trucks.
The first of me and my sisters will be graduating collage this year, Sis gets her bachelors in history so she can teach middle schoolers and high schoolers. Right now she is doing her student teaching at Shawnee Heights middle school. My other sis got her CNA hopefully she can get a part time at one of the local hospitals.


Were happy to have a new year on the horizon, and we hope this year to stick to our goals a bit better.
