Catching up!



Ivy on our 1st camping trip - June 2009


Royce - June 2009


Grandpa bought Gavin a motorcycle.....he thinks he is hot stuff! No fear for sure!


Easter in Belt - April 2009



Me and Gavin- March 2009








It has been such a long time since I have updated the blog...sorry. The kids have grown and changed so much. The twins are so busy. They are literally into everything and are always going opposite directions. Gavin is loving kindergarten. He thinks he is so big because he gets to ride the bus. As most of you know, I have returned to teaching this year as well. I work Monday, Tuesday and every other Wednesday. It really is a great schedule. I have a nanny that comes into the house, so it makes it pretty convenient. I hope all is well with everyone. We wish we could see you all more often!

Holy Cow!

Gavin is in the orange hat
Royce in the tunnel
Gavin being silly









I appologize for being so behind. I really don't know where te time goes...seriously! The twins had their 9 month check up today and Royce now has passed Ivy up. She weighs 20 pounds and is 28 inches and Royce weighs 20 pounds 10 oz and is 28.75 inches. I never thought I would see the day he would pass up his sister. Royce is crawling everywhere! He has figured out that he is mobile and that scares me! Ivy is scooting around and it will not be long before she figures it out...I am in BIG trouble then! Gavin still loves being a big brother....he sure dotes on them. He is in karate and tests for his orange belt on Fri. He also just started soccer again, so we keep busy running him to school and sports.

Holy cow, am I behind or what? Everyone continues to grow around here. lol. The twins are sitting up real well now and each have two teeth. They continue to do more things everyday. Gavin is such a proud brother! He really can get Royce to laugh. It makes us giggle! He is starting to read three letter words now. I can't beleive how big he is getting. Kindergarten next yr...crazy! My Aunt Jeanne and Uncle Ron Smeins came for the last weekend in January for a visit. It was great having them here. Mom and Dad were also here for a few days before heading on their long winter trip. I hope all is well with everyone!

Sledding fun!

Such a big help!


Since I am a little behind, I thought I would share some of our December fun. We are all doing well. Christmas was pretty fun around our house this year. Gavin was really into getting some instruments, so needless to say, we have lots of concerts now. :) The twins pretty much slept through Christmas, but big brother Gavin made sure their presents got opened. :) It is sure hard to believe they are approaching 7 months. How time flies! Mark's brother and his family and his sister joined us for Christmas dinner and sledding fun. He has become the king of pulling sleds behind the lawn mower!
