Summer Time!

I am having so much fun this summer being home with the Aubrey & Adison. It is going by way too fast though! The girls and I are looking forward to having Jeff home with us for most of August - he has three weeks off!!!

Here are a few pictures from this summer. We have been going to the zoo, playing in the pool and water table, playing at the park and hanging out with friends and family. There are also pictures of the girls potties! I decided that I am going to start introducing the potties to the girls since I am home all summer. Right now they just like to play on them as you see!

Guess what happened today...

This morning was going so great! Until I get back to my classroom from my "no-cell phones allowed" meeting to find a voicemail from baby school. It seems that everyone is there is convinced that Adison has chicken pox. This poor girl. She has eczema that comes and goes, that is treated by some high powerful cream. Well, this weekend she started getting eczema on her arms followed by some red dots - that went away when we put the cream on. Now I get a voicemail that she has them all over her tummy and back and her girl-area.

I can't find a sub anywhere (really people, I teach kindergarten - it is like paid playtime for a sub). So, Jeff has to leave Lake Oswego after just getting there 1.5 hours before. He gets the girls and ends up taking them to the Dr. He has a fun experience there (a RUDE lady decided to yell at them for being late - she then got paid back by two VERY LOUD yelling girls she had to watch while Jeff checked in).

Turns out she has a viral infection (thanks RYLEE for sharing!!!!) that is just like getting a runny nose. She just has super sensitive skin.

Jeff gets the super-dad award again for today!!!

New Milestones!!!

1st Birthday Pictures!

No time for words...

My eyes are getting heavy... here are some recent pictures though!!!

Happy First Birthday!!!

Wow! So hard to believe a year has gone by already. Jennifer and I ditched work and took the girls to Cafe Sip n Play (fist time there...GREAT place!), a fish hatchery, a park along the Columbia and of course Babies R Us so the girls could get their birthday crowns and balloons. :) They also got their first taste of cake and Cold Stone ice cream with Grandma and Grandpa Conway. Needless to say, the girls were exhausted by the end of the day...and so are Jennifer and I.

Long overdue update...

Time has been flying by here. I can't believe that the girls are going to be a year old on Thursday!!! It is so sad, they are not my little babies anymore. Here is a quick picture update...

We decided to dress the girls head to toe in Cougar gear. Jeff claims that they look like boys (I agree, but we have to start them early on knowing the correct school!)

I also took the girls to the zoo with my parents over Spring Break. Jeff was working but my mom and dad were babysitting Rylee so we took a big trip to the zoo.




We also took a small Conway trip to Beaches for Easter lunch. There were only 24 of us there! Adison was very brave and was the only baby to sit on the Easter Rabbit's lab without screaming. She is in love with anything with fur. I took them to see the Easter Rabbit at the mall and she screamed when I TOOK her from the bunny. What a silly girl!


We also have been transitioning the girls over to whole milk and off of formula. They have been doing great with it! Luckily the girls got Jeff's milk lover genes! We just made up our last bit of the last can of formula for Baby School tomorrow. So sad, but I will NOT miss the large expense of formula!

Aubrey also started walking!!!! She is now able to take a few steps on her own but still wants to hold on to something to do it. We have not been able to catch it on camera, yet.

Have a great week!
