Firemen of the Year!!

Just wanted to let BJ know how proud we are of him. Thanks for being a great husband and dad!!

9 MONTHS OLD!

I honestly can not believe how time flies. They are growing so much in so many ways. Mason loves to army crawl, walk in the walker, eat and smile. Maddie loves jumping in the jumper, playing with toys on the floor and tormenting Mason. They both are cutting teeth. Mason has 4 1/2 and Maddie as 2. Maddie is smiling a lot more and they are both so activity. I absolutely LOVE being a mom. We had a great Thanksgiving with my family and can not wait for Christmas!!

1st HaLL-O-wEeN

Our first Hall-o-ween with the twins was so much fun! We carved their pumpkins Thursday night and then got costumes ready for Saturday. Maddie was so darn cute as a witch and Mason was a handsome black cat. They weren't sure about the costumes though. We got invited to go trick-r-treating with the Albrechts, Ropers and Stefanoff families and we had such a good time. We had the older kids take the twins bags up to the door to get treats. I really didn't think that they needed too, but friends insisted it was a must!! Thanks so much Kris and Nat can't wait until next year!! Afterwards we had a pumpkin stew dinner at my moms house.

Happy Hall-o-ween!!

NeW ThINgS!

We have been so busy the past month that it's about time a catch up on the twins. Mason had a little hernia surgery in August which he did amazing. He is FINALLY sleeping through most of the night. He has been rolling over for about 3 weeks and wants to crawl so bad but just can't do it. He loves about all vegetables and fruits but carrots and sweet potatoes do not agree with his little acid belly. Madison is doing great! She also loves vegetables and fruits. She still is feisty! But seems to smile a little bit more each day. She also loves to roll over but has no desire to crawl. They have new but used toys that they absolutly LOVE. Mason's is the activity center and Maddie's is the jumping swing. When she gets her little legs going it is so darn cute. We just found out that our final adoption is Monday and are so excited we can hardly stand it. Nothing new with me and BJ. We just got done with softball (wish we were still playing though) and are looking forward to co-ed volleyball. Thanks to everyone for their love and support. We have the best family and friends ever!!!

Allred fun last weekend!!

We had so much fun at the Allred Reunion up in the Ponderosa. Not only did we get to see tons of family but Grandma Olive got to add 4 new great grandkids to the mix. Only three are pictured but my cousins just adopted another baby girl last Wednesday!! And we are so exciting for them. Thanks to my family for all the help with the twins. We could not survive without you.

MadIsoN likes ceReaL & MaSoN gets a HaiRcUt

So Madison has decided that she likes rice cereal. HURRAY!! I knew it would be just a matter of time. Also we gave Mason a haircut. I know sounds crazy but I have a cousin who is a beautician and she told us to cut off the baby hair and it helps it grow faster. We did and what can I say he looks just like his dad!! BJ said we are NOT doing Maddies, will let hers grow as is!!
