turkey legs

getting ready for next week...

cupcakes for Barley's B'day

library

So I am a pretty bad mom when it comes to the library. I took Sam a few times before the twinkles were born but the twins have never been. lately though they have really been into me reading them books at bedtime and can sit through a couple books before they start crawling all over me. Today I thought I'd introduce them to the library. The rules were simple: No screaming or yelling, inside voices only and No running around. We picked out a book called the
"Princess Pigsty" They thought it was a very funny book. I was going to check it out but after the story was over they decided to start rearranging the books so I tried to get them to stop which made Sydney scream really loud and then they both took off and ran around the whole library! (thankfully its a really small library) so I ended up grabbing them by their arms while they were kicking and screaming and we left without getting library cards or books...next time...maybe I'll do it one on one!

the video was taken before we went into the library when they were being goofy!

Barley Dogs Birthday

14 years ago Barley Dog was born...he was the runt of the litter and the vet gave him maybe 7 years...HA! What a life he has lived. Thanks to the Pates and the Woods for the best Christmas present ever back in 1995. Now he just sleeps, eats and poops but his tail is still awagging and he's a happy old dog! Happy Birthday Barley!

potty training

We are still trying to get these dang twins out of diapers...today Sydney woke up and went straight to the bathroom and then wanted panties. She did great all day only one accident and she even #2 in the potty. (She gets a sucker and a tattoo for that!) Let's hope tomorrow is just as good!

Hodges visit- Julie, Taylor and Dominic

Sorry I was a bad blogger this week but ....On Tuesday Julie Taylor and Dominic came for their 2nd annual visit! It was so fun being able to hang out w them. It's so cute that everytime we took a picture of Samantha and Taylor they would say "BFF" (best friends forever!)

Wednesday we spent the day at the Wildlife World Zoo. We've only been there one other time and that was before the aquarium was finished. It's a great zoo but for some reason they charge way to much for admission.

BFF!

trying to get a group shot shot!

The Nemo fish only had one stripe!

checking out the lobsters!

the petting zoo is pretty cool. They had baby goats. Samantha was a little scared at first but finally went in after the kids had been in for about 10 minutes.

these turtles were fast!

Sydney loved petty all the animals!

More BFFs!

Stinky animals. Dominic chased them all around!
