Outside

The twins LOVE being outside. They usually scream when we bring them back inside. They've both also learned to pull their shirts up when you ask them "Where's your belly". Unfortunately, they also will pull our shirts up to look at our bellies too! Scary! Anyway, they really love walking around the yard and walking after the dogs. Bodhi and Diesel are usually very near keeping a close eye on them.

Mighty Midgets on the Loose!

Dan was out of town last week training some guys in 29 Palms. While he was gone Elijah decided it was time to walk without support. He went from nothing to practically running. He keeps up with Luci and has found out how much fun it is to be able to carry toys around. He's a maniac now! He also got a new Mega Blocks Firetruck which is now one of his favorite toys. He puts all kinds of stuff in it and pushes it around. He even makes raspberry noises when he's pushing it. We took them outside today to walk around the yard. Luci was off like a rocket. Eli was a little slower going around. He's the more cautious of the two. On the not-so-cute side, Luci has taken to hitting and biting. That's one that I wasn't ready for yet. Now just working on derailing her little mean streak!

Oh the silliness!

Here are some of the cute moments we've caught on film the last month. We had to put plexiglass on our baby gates because Luci figured out how to climb up them. So Dan was putting on the plastic and Luci and Eli were helping him. They would touch the drill and hand him zip ties. It was pretty cute. Luci somehow cut her finger the other day (that's her in the blue jammies-she had to borrow from Eli one night!). She got her first bandaid (unfortunately mommy wasn't prepared with cute cartoon ones) and spent a lot of time holding out her hand looking at it, almost like she just got a new ring. She amazingly left it on and didn't try and take it off. We got them a playhut for inside and Eli likes to crawl in it. He thought it was pretty funny. He'll get inside it and push it around the house. And yes, that's him with a bucket on his head. We have a couple of those gallon ice cream buckets that we keep blocks in and they love to put them on their heads and talk (it echoes) and now they've actually started putting them on their heads and walking around. It's hilarious. They also like to have a burpie or their bears over their faces and walk. And Dan left Thursday for a week and he was packing all his gear. The kids decided to help him with that too! Dan put some of his gear on them which they just thought was the greatest thing ever. Those pictures are posted just below this one. So that's just a few of the latest antics that we've caught. They are so funny. They just got some new toys and I've already been snapping away. So keep checking, I'm sure there is more to come!

Saying Goodbye

The first week of February I went to Ridgecrest to say bye to Lance, Gail, Amber, and Zach and to spend a few days with them before they left. We had a nice time. Zach and Amber took the twins on the quads (which the twins loved) and we just spent some nice quality time together. The twins will miss them and so will we. Dan had to work so he couldn't come. We were all fine until we actually had to say goodbye. I'm glad they were in CA for awhile and we got to spend time with each other. Even so goodbyes still are no fun. Can't wait to see them this summer!

First Ice Cream Cone!

The twins got their first ice cream cone when Grandma was here to visit. After taking some of the ice cream off so there wasn't a huge mess, they did really well with them. I don't think we could have gotten their attention away at all! Yummy! Thanks grandma!
