Olifino and Koopalator

Just look at the way he looks at his big sis!

I'm TINKing of you....

I think every day at our house has become dress up day. I've waited and waited for this. Stinkerbell is the most common, have a look!




*****broken wings*******
this is how I want the back of my hair, it's too cute for words!

I especially like the "goth" tights underneath...

comparisons at 6 months!

I know I look a bit like a man in these pictures but they're at least front facing. I realized they'd be good to do some 6 month comparisons!
Olivers eyes, while lightening up, are still sticking to a blue/grey color.

So, who's he looking like? Mommy or daddy?! Leave your comments below.

My twins

My mother-in-law, Joni, took terrific care of Evan's clothes when he was young. Maybe evan never spit up? - - I'm not sure how she did this! ha! Anyways, we have about 7 or 8 outfits at home and I decided to dress Oliver up in one of them last week and take a few pics with dad! They look adorable!




and now we're sleepy!

If not France

I see absolutely nothing wrong with
***Coeur d'Alene, Idaho***
Time to start packing and job hunting, this place is gorgeous! Ok, maybe for retirement if I don't leave the country.

This is the face....

of the best daddy in the world!

when art is inspired

my little kizzle d just amazes me with her endless talents. not just the burping....this girl can make some radical art!

i'm just blown away by this 3 year olds ability to see a blank piece of paper and really invision things in her head before putting the pen down. It's typically a much older age that a child understands the space and how to use it. Kiran knows just where to put the pen down and then where to go with it.

First up: KIRAN ON A SLIDE.
Check out how she's exhibiting safety precaustions - hanging on to the sides.

Second: OLIVER
This is how Kiran see's her baby brother. He's bald (mostly true), has big blue eyes (complete truth) and he's got his name floating above his head...(CERTAINLY DOES!)

Third: DUCK
I just can't get over the beak yall!

I taught Oliver how to wave!

He finally waved goodbye to me today. He did it about 10 different times. I kept poking my head back into the nursery and everytime I'd wave and ask him to do the same....his arm went up! The fingers just kind of do their own things but he's smiling big the whole time and the arm is just going!

He also learned how to clap the other day, but we haven't worked on it much. And while we're on updates, he's starting to get the scooting down a little bit. Either way there is finally lots of improvemet there.

I shouldn't have got on to make this post so early. It's 10:20 and now I have to wait until 5:00 to see both of my kids. I am feeling pretty miserable now.

1 year anniversary approaching

Life is still as good as this day:

well...

if this isn't a "put-it-on-for-the-camera-brie-vandicamp-smile" then i don't know what is....
i'm utterly disgusted!

colleen, if you're out there...

i miss you!
