Happy 11 month birthday

Taylor and Patyon turn 11 months old today. So hard to believe that they are 1 month away from turning 1. This year has gone by so fast. They are everywhere all the time - such fast movers. It's hard to keep up with them sometimes. They both love cruising with their push toys that they can walk behind and they are so proud of themselves when they are playing with them. Both will stand by themselves for a few seconds but they usually fall forward laughing thinking it is a game. Taylor has even taking a couple of step by herself but she leans forward as she is doing it so she falls in the process. They love playing with each other and especially LOVE playing with big sister Madison.

Last day of swimming lessons

Hard working princess

Sometimes even a princess must do yard work!

Swimming lessons day 6

Yes we are posting another one...what can we say we are proud parents. Today Danny got to sneak away from work to watch Madison swim...it was a fun surprise for all of us!!

Swimming lessons day 5

Taylor standing

Taylor has figured out she can stand up on her own. She is now practicing this all the time and is so proud of herself. She will smile really big and put both arms up in the air like she is celebrating. She has even practiced taking a few steps but she doesn't quite have that down as she leans forward when she does it and therefore starts falling. We may have a walker soon!

Swim Lessons Day 4

This is not the greatest video. We (the Moms) have to go inside so as not to distract. So I am recording this from a far away and inside. There are two teachers and Madison is swimming back and forth between the two. Very exciting!!!

Swim Lesson Day 2

The teacher says Madison is doing great. It's hard to see in the video but Madison is swimming. All the teacher is doing is holding her head down...she is suppose to keep her head down like she is looking at the bottom of the pool.

Swim lessons

Madison started swim lessons today...so far so good! Very proud of her for getting in there and the teacher handled her so well.

Two crazy women

I don't know that I have formally introduced you to my new friend Molly. Molly is my new best friend because she knows my struggles better than most. She has twins the same age as Payton and Taylor and she also has a little girl the same age as Madison. We got a hair brained idea to go out to eat during the lunch rush the other day. I am sure the people at the restaurant thought we were crazy coming in with all these kids and just two adults. I will say the employees and managers were awesome and helped us with anything we needed.

So count em' people - that's right 4 babies and 2 kids...and yes we survived. ;)

Our climber

I believe we have a climber. I never had to worry with Madison...she never really climbed on anything so this is new territory to me. This is the only safest example I could get. Other things she attempts to climb on it would be too dangerous for me to record.

Our little dancers

3 Supervisors

Just this past week we had concrete poured to enlarge our patio. As you can see these men couldn't get away with anything because they had 3 little supervisors the entire time! ;)

Happy Memorial Day and Happy Birthday Nana!

We had a fun Memorial Day. We relaxed in our gigantic pool and grilled out. It was nice and relaxing. It was also Nana's birthday so we had fun celebrating her too! ;) Happy 29th Birthday Nana!

Sippy Cups!!

We have such big girls...they are officially sippy cup users!
