Christmas Morning....

We all had a wonderful Christmas. All the boys (even Jas), got everything they wanted!!! We are now settling back into routine and getting ready for the USC Bowl game (GO GAMECOCKS!!!). Trying to find room in the house for all the new clothes and toys is a challenge. Here is a picture of the big boys on Christmas morning...their big gifts were skateboards and bikes...they are so confused on which to ride around. Hope all had a wonderful Christmas and have a great New Year!!! The little boys will have pictures posted soon!!!

Yet another picture...

Here is a picture of Jack and Jon in their shepherd costumes...

Christmas Stars....

Hey everyone. Well, Jack and Jon's play was AWESOME!!!! They did so very well and of course we were VERY proud of them. They did not mess up once and the little boys dance was the hit of the play (of course in my opinion). They all did a number in bowties, tophats and black vests with canes...I cannot believe how CUTE all of them were. I have never seen a children's Christmas play that was so well put together...I felt like I should have been paying at a theatre. I am including a few pictures. The first is the boys in their biblical costumes and then in their "Perfect for the Part" costumes. They were also shepherds at the end of the play. Hope all of you enjoy and have a Merry Christmas!!!

Thanksgiving smiles...

Well, it has been forever since I have posted. Thanksgiving went great and all the boys enjoyed seeing family. Josh and Jordan were finally able to spend some quality time with their cousin Jayce who is one week older than they are. This is one of many pictures the three of them had to endure. How cute though!!!! Jack and Jon performed in Sunday service. Just one song with all the kids and both of them did SOOOO well! They knew all the hand motions and I could see their lips moving...who knows if they were really singing though. The picture is sort of dark, but it was taken right before leaving for church. Their play is this weekend and of course I am so excited! Do not know how excited they are...lol! The little twins are now experimenting with all different kinds of fruit...they love it and they are quite messy! They both have their two bottom teeth in and I believe cutting more presently. The older twins have a loose tooth on the bottom...same tooth...how weird is that! Jack and Jon are doing very well homeschooling this year for kindergarden. Mimi is teaching them so much. I do not know how she does it...my patience is growing though. Hopefully they will be reading by the end of the year. So, not much has been going on, but we are constantly busy...doing what, I have no idea, but having fun (at least most of the time).

Camping Pictures...

Here are a few of the boys camping Jas sent me...enjoy!!!

Perfect for the Part

For those that do not already know, Jack and Jon are going to be in the Christmas play at our church. I just wanted them to have the experience and enjoy time with kids their own age. I was never expecting a call from the choir director asking if I would let them do a duet! I am so very proud of the two of them. It seems all the parents love them and say they are so well behaved. I did have to stop and ask if they had the right children...lol. I feel blessed to have such wonderful boys and slowly but surely seeing the wonderful character they are developing. This past weekend Dad took them camping with their church group "Royal Rangers." It is very similar to boy scouts. All three had an awesome time with 200 other kids from around the state. Jack and Jon were able to shoot bow and arrows, bb guns, play flashlight tag, have a campfire, and many other fun activities as Jon says, "Were just for boys, sorry mom!". This coming week they are going to the State Fair, which is always enjoyable for them...especially when Mimi and Papa go...they always pick the best food to eat...mmm...the fries!!! Last year I was unable to ride the rides due to pregnancy, but watch out this year! I doubt Mimi will let me take her place going down the giant slide with Jack, Jon and Joseph. Anyway, here are a couple of pictures of the two of them...I am trying to find the pictures from camping, but Jas has them on his camera...maybe next week.

Bath Time and Eating are their favorites...

This past weekend, we have all been recovering from a severe cold. Although in the next few pictures...you would never be able to tell the two little chunkers were sick. Here is Joshua right after bath time and Jordan woofing down some sweet potatos. It seems as though they are enjoying their high chairs...the more they get wipe food everywhere, the happier they are. The Johnny Jump Up is also very popular in the house...Jordan finally got the hang of it and now is bouncing all over the place...Joshua has learned he can swing in it. It is hard to believe they are almost 6 months old. Both have now rolled over and pushing up with their arms. Laughing at everthing. Joshua seems as though he is a little more reserved...but he laughs like no other baby we have ever seen...so much somtimes he almost chokes. Hope all enjoy the next few pictures...it is very hard to get time to sit down and do this, but very enjoyable.

We really do get along!

We cannot always get the boys to cooperate...but the pictures turn out well none the less...

Priceless

.This is definitely Joshua at his best! I know most have seen this picture, but I think it is so cute. This was their dedication. It looks like he has had enough!

Finally posting for the boys...

Well,

After much frustration trying to set this site up, I finally just said it is fine the way it is. I talked with my sister-in-law Christyn about it, since she has one for baby Jayce, but I am just not computer literate. So, this is it. Jordan and Josh are doing great. Jordan finally is getting used to his helmet. Jordan is rolling from back to front and then front to back. I think he is a little stronger than Josh right now, but I am sure that is all going to change, although Jordan is a chunker. We are presently driving to Charlotte once a week to get Jordan's helmet adjusted...hopefully for only five more weeks. They are both such good babies, sleeping around ten or so hours every night. Jason is keeping all four of them over the weekend. It seems they behave better for him usually anyway. All four of them keep us busy, but we would not have it any other way. We are truly blessed to be given such a responsibility.
