Our weekend fun with Avery and Tessa!

Rob, Abby, Avery and Tessa came this weekend for a visit and so we had a fun 2 days playing with them, Len and Kyle, Gramma and Papa. Jack and Quent were so excited to play with Avery and they have so much fun with her, I swear they are like triplets when they are together they are so close in size! Although you can definitely see the difference in their ages in their maturity. Avery seems much more grown up at times, or maybe its just because girls mature faster :)

One of their most favorite things to do at Gramma and Papa's is to run up and down the hall, and when Uncle Rob gets in on the fun its even better.

Lined up for Avery's birthday cake (this is before it gets really messy!)
We got to celebrate Avery's birthday, because we were not able to be at her party, I don't think she minded celebrating again!


We all had a fun time and can't wait for the next visit!

***CONGRATULATIONS TO MY COUSIN STEVE AND STELLA
ON THE ARRIVAL OF THEIR BABY BOY ON SUNDAY, can't wait to meet him!***

Here are my handsome boys

This is my Jackson, although he is more often called Jack or Jackie Mackie. He is the oldest by 1 minute and has been the biggest by just a little bit all along in weight and height.
As you can tell he is the fashion forward one of the family, sporting Daddy's knit hat and an Elmo backpack. This is a must have look for playing in the cardboard box that he loves so much (see background in picture). He is a sweetheart and loves to run, jump/ bounce, and play with buttons that he can push- anything with buttons, and can cook up a mean plastic dinner in his play kitchen! Jack has a terrific memory and he is a very determined little boy (which can be both good and not so good at times). Jack can talk up a storm and you know when its too quiet you are in for trouble, because chances are he has found some trouble. He loves to color and can scribble out some beautiful masterpieces.

This is my Quentin, although he is more often called Quent, Quentie, or Quentie-bug. He is the younger boy, but you wouldn't be able to tell by the way he tries to run the show.
Quent is the love bug of the family and is often telling everyone "I yuv you!" He is the book lover of the family and if you will read to him he will happily listen. His current literary favorites are 'Cookie See, Cookie Do', really anything sesame street, his Cars books, and Curious George. Quent has always had a special affection for his "buddy" (so does his brother), the cloth diaper that he sleeps with and luckily for us any cloth diaper can be a buddy! Quent is a singer and likes to jibber jabber, although most of his language is easy to understand. He is our obsessive boy and he clings to the things he loves the best like, Cookie Monster, Cars, Handy Manny and Curious George.

So, here is just a little of the highlights of what there is to know about my Jack and Quent.
They are incredibly busy boys that keep my days busy and exciting, if not crazy at times. I am a lucky Mom to have such beautiful, smart and really funny little men. There are those times where I just want to cry in frustration over toddler twin trials, but there are many more where those tears are just in awe at how wonderful, silly, and loved these boys really are!

Blog: Day One

The first post!
I am still working on figuring out this whole thing and finding what layouts and stuff that I like, so I guess this is a work in progress.
My purpose for this to document the cool stuff our boys, Jack and Quent, are always doing, post pictures and let all our family and friends in on our everyday stuff. So, as I get going I hope I will be better and better at posting regularly and having some great stuff on here about our busy life with toddler twin boys!
So, hope to add here soon!
