This, That and The Other....

First time riding in the "big kid" shopping cart at Target!


They LOVED it!!

The pictures above are from our trip to Target the other day... I am in disbelief how fast they are growing up! We really didn't need anything at Target that day, I just wanted to get out of the house... and anyone who knows me, knows that Target is my second home:)

Let's see what's going on around here? Parker now just stands up in the middle of the room for minutes at a time (he will be walking before we know it!), Kaylie FINALLY decided that she wants to start pulling up on things to standing (only problem is she gets stuck, can't figure out how to get down!), Buddy went to the vet and is now on a strick diet (haha...poor buddy, no more scraps!), and the best news of all going on around here is that Kaylie and Parker are back together in their room! (Sidenote: I had been spliting them up with Kaylie in a Pack n' play for the past few months) This is the second night in a row of them back together, but I think it's here to stay:) They cry for about 20 minutes when we put them in there, but eventually fall asleep! Oh yeah, I forgot another important point... they are on WHOLE MILK now!! I know, I know... they aren't a year old YET, but will be in 10 days and I don't think 10 days is gonna make a whole lotta difference! (I actually started them on it a week ago) They LOVE it and could probably drink it all day if I let them!! So no more formula for us:)

More later... Night Night!

Craft Show

This is how the burp clothes will be "packaged"


Personalized burp clothes- $18/set


First birthday outfit-$34 (kaylie's actual one for their party:))

First Birthday tie t-shirt- $20

Skirt with matching onesie- $34

Tutu- $16

Tag Lovie- $12

These are just a few examples of what we are doing:)

So about this craft show.... Mom and I have been thinking about it for a while, but just couldn't find one that was a decent price. A few weeks ago I got an email about a craft show at Friendship Baptist Church in Fairview (near Allen) on November 7th. It was only $20 to get in!!! So I signed us up:) We have been working our butts off making tutus, burp clothes, tag lovies, skirts, blankets, no-throw sippy holders, ragged ann and andy dolls, etc. We have over taken my entire house... I am trying to organize it where it's not out ALL the time though! Oh yeah, and we had to come up with a name for our "business", we came up with "Mimi made it" (since Mimi basically makes it all)... we even have business cards and everything, haha! So, yeah that's about the jist of it... until November 7th my days and nights will be consumed with making stuff... good thing it's football season... Cody is ocuppied with that:)

Big Orange Pumpkin Farm

Yesterday, we took the kiddos to the Big Orange Pumpkin Farm in Celina. I had heard about it before but had never been there... We will definitely be going again! It was the cutest little farm I have ever seen. (and only 15 minutes from our house).. they have cows, a donkey, sheep, goats, chickens, and longhorn. The admission includes: food for the animals, a hot dog, hay ride, and a small pumpkin! It was only $7 and the kids were free:)

A few things we are making to sell at our craft show...

More about the craft show and stuff we're making on the next post!

I won't leave you hanging for long;)

It's 6:45a, I've been up for an hour with a daughter who doesn't like to sleep in:( But I guess I can't complain too much since I get to get my hair colored today, which means a 3 hour break for me:) Yesterday we went Stroller Skating with some of our StrollerFit friends. Kaylie and Parker loved to be pushed in the stroller while I skated behind them, holding on for dear life (I havent be skating since junior high..haha!)

Anyways, everything is good around here... Parker has now decided that he wants to stand (by himself, holding on to nothing!), and Kaylie has decided that she finally wants to use those chunky legs to pull up to standing (definitely still wobbly...haha!) Ummm and yeah, 2 weeks until my babies are 1 year old toddlers...aaaahhhh, where has the time gone.. I want to call them babies forever!

Well, they are both pullimg their high chair out from under the table... I'm thinking they want breakfast hahah... I better go feed these munchkins:)

A week in review in pictures:)

This was taken a few weeks ago, but I had to post it...
yes, that is 3 sets of twins at our playdate... Stephanie with Maddie and Abbie,
and Tina with Beckett and Preslee.


Last Tuesday was our friend, Mikayla's, first birthday
so we stopped by to drop off her gift!



Jocelyn bought a bubble machine and the kids LOVED
it... looks like I'll be buying one in the near future!:)


Jocelyn and Mikayla getting the baby ready for her stroll!

Thursday, we decided last minute that we would take the kids

to Abilene to see Will (my bro) play in his conference tennis tourney!

Parker was ready to go..haha!

Parker playing in the grass at the tennis tourney!

Kaylie wondering what in the heck the grass is!

She was a total princess sitting in the grass... Didn't

want to have anything to do with it!

Will playing in his singles match...

Will and Parker in between matches:)

When Will wasn't playing we went to the Abilene Zoo...

it took about 10 minutes to see everything...haha... but the Girafees

were the best!

You could walk over the bridge and feed

them crackers!

So now to the results of Will's match... Him and his partner

Brian, WON DOUBLES!! Which means they are the

first tennis players ever in school history to win a conference title!

And they get a conference ring:) It was sooooo exciting to see

them play and win!!!

Will and Brian with their coach after they won

the title of Doubles Conference Champs!

Two Snotty Babies:(

Sis stole Parker's bottle... probably explains why they are both sick!!


This was taken a little bit ago after we gave them a bath
(yes, they are naked!) and you wouldn't even know they both
don't feel well... they love their "ball pit"!

My poor angels are not feeling well at all... no fevers but both are the snottiest two babies EVER! It's a non-stop flow... uggghhh! Mom and I (Cody is out of town) got ZERO sleep last night because neither baby could breath!! So yeah, now they are napping and I am about to also...

11 Months old!!

Today Kaylie and Parker are 11 months old... HOLY COW! (Don't worry, I will save the mushy stuff for their one year blog post!) We had a blast today... the group that I am in, PAMOM, had a play group at My Gym today... there was probably about 10 sets of twins there!! Kaylie and Parker had a blast:)
