March and Giant food = giant fun!

First here are some pictures of the boys helping us to make apple crisp at Gramma  and Papa's house back in March.   They love to help and were very eager to measure, scoop, pour and stir.  It turned out delish!

Hmmmm...let's check the recipe...

They are good little helpers!

On St. Patty's Day we headed out to meet Uncle Lenny and Aunt Kyle at the big mall.  We had a fun time hanging out and playing with Len and Kyle for the day.  And there was some pretty GIANT food to play on in that mall, too!  For 2 boys who are OBSESSED (especially Jack) with Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs - this play area was GIANT FUN!

The watermelon made a great slide!

Hopping on a mushroom.

They very much enjoyed dancing around on the watermelon slice.  They had a whole game they were playing with each other and singing along to a song they made up.  It was pretty cute!

My little cupcakes on the big cupcake!

We had dinner at Rainforest Cafe and as always were amazed by the sights and sounds...

Trying to get jack to pose with Uncle Lenny for a picture but Jack is just way too distracted by the big stuffed frog that was walking around, the Rainforest Cafe mascot frog.  

Although he was willing to take a balloon from the frog just as long as he did not have to get too close!

Aunt Kyle trying to get Quent to look for a picture too.

(notice we were all wearing our green for St. Patrick's Day

even though there is not photographic proof, I too was wearing my green!)

The best part of dinner was the end when a diver got into the big fish tanks to clean the glass.

This was really cool!

She even stopped and waved and gave the boys a high five through the glass, they were very impressed.  It was a highlight when they told everyone about eating dinner there.  

(and just because I want to remember it later, I am including this little story) 

On the way out of the restaurant, my darling little Jackson tried to get the five finger discount on a "cadiddlehopper" (what you or I may call a grasshopper).  Luckily, Uncle Lenny saw the plastic bug going out with Jack and asked if I had bought it.  

Um, no.

So, that was the day we started our discussions - "you cannot take it if you do not pay for it"

Ah, milestones.

Na Na Na Na, hey hey hey - goodbye long hair!

Your 2009 donation made this possible...

I earned this 3rd place plaque for being the 3rd highest individual fundraiser for the March for Babies 2009 walk!  And those of you who donated to our walk can share this award with me because not only did we raise an awesome amount of money, we helped support the March of Dimes in its efforts to help all babies be born full term and healthy.

I think that's pretty awesome.

So, Thank You to all of our 2009 sponsors!

Thank you for helping us to honor the memory of our Joshua, Sarah, and Jacob and to celebrate the healthy, happy lives of our Jackson and Quentin! 

Let's make the 2010 March for Babies Walk just as successful!

What is happening here?! - UPDATED

So, can YOU guess what silly stuff is going on in this photo?

**If you guessed that my Mom is blowdrying the back of Jack's wet undies - then you guessed right!  He had a milk spill at lunch and it had pooled in his booster seat and his one little butt cheek was soaked.  This was how Gramma got him to calm down and save the beloved Wall*E underpants!

Just some of the funny stuff happening here lately.  

Just that...

AND going to our Gym playgroup, storytime at the library, playing at the mall and eating at Rainforest Cafe, spending the day at GG's, playing at Castaway Cafe with friends, attending my Mothers of Multiples meetings, going to a Mary Kay party, getting ready for this weekend's Mom2Mom sale (major work!), ripping out a cupboard and painting the kitchen, and preparing for Easter brunch at our house. 

Nah, not too much going on around here!

Baby Picture Sunday (Just a day late!)

Debi's theme over at Who says 8 is enough?  this week was crawling.  

So, here's my guys in Feb, March and April of 2007, doing just that!

( ps - I LOVE looking back at all of their baby pictures!)

Jack doing his backwards crawl right under the buffet.  This happened while I stepped out of the room to go to the bathroom and when I came back, Jack was gone.  

I could not see him anywhere!  

So I was calling his name and starting to panic when I heard his little giggle.

There he was behind the dinosaur roll a round toy, under the buffet, and having a great time!

Jack showing off those super fast moves!

Quent took a little longer to get the hang of crawling, but once he did, he was GONE!

And being under the buffet was so much fun at that age.  

They both did it and thought it was the greatest thing - until they bumped their heads, then not so much fun. 

Boy were they cute babies or what?!
