Movie time

8-15-08

We've been very busy lately. Work has been busy and just life in general. We have been getting ready for Brooke and Brianna's baptism, which is coming up this weekend. However, we did find time to spend with Brooke and Brianna's friends Caidee and Caleb. It was raining again, so they decided to watch a movie. I know I've said this before, but I just love how much they love each other.

Little Ballerinas

8-11-08
My little ballerinas started dance! Oh, are they so adorable! Too bad they didn't look like this when we got to dance class!! Brianna cried the entire time and Brooke made it through 15 minutes of the class before she broke down because Brianna wasn't in there with her. She refused to go back into the dance class without Brianna and Brianna absolutely refused to go in!! It was pretty much a disaster and very sad, especially for Brooke. Hopefully it will get better!!

Pool with friends

8-10-08
We were back to the YMCA (or the ABC, as Brianna calls it) for swimming with our friends Brian and Kristen and their kids. We had a great time! We meet at noon and planned on eating a picnic lunch and staying for a couple of hours. Before we knew it it was 4:00 and we were still having a blast! Brian and Kristen graciously invited us over for dinner. This was also a way to help keep the kids awake, since 4:00 is WAY to late for a nap. Thank you Brian and Kristen! I can't believe the kids stayed awake AND they were all so good!

Those are some tired faces!!

Presents from Nana and Papa

8-9-08
Nana and Papa came straight to our house after driving all day from Georgia to bring Brooke and Brianna a surprise. While Nana and Papa we're away, they told Brooke and Brianna they would bring them something back that was their favorite colors. So we have new My little ponies named Rainbow (blue-Brianna's favorite color) and Pinkie Pie (pink-Brooke's favorite color).Thank you Nana and Papa!!

YMCA

8/3
We joined the YMCA on Sunday. They have a wonderful pool that is only 1ft.deep with slides and fun waterspouts. Sharlene went with us. We had a picnic lunch, did some swimming and playing and then had fudge bars, which Brooke and Brianna LOVED:)

Sissy, Kyle and Alec

July 31, 2008
Sharlene now lives with her dad. Kyle and Alec were visiting their dad for a week. When they came home, Brooke and Brianna were so excited and just thrilled to have them home! Even though we were at the beach that day with NO naps, they stayed up past their bedtime to play with their brothers and sister. It was very hearwarming and of course I grabbed my camera to capture it:)

Beach With Friends

July 31, 2008
Our friends Brian and Kristen get a condo every year on Indian Shores Beach. They invited us and the rest of 'The Posse" for the day to hang out with the kids. Even though it rained, we had a GREAT time. We even got to see a water spout!

Waterspout! That is a sailboat right underneath it. If you look close I put an arrow pointing at it. I the people on that sailboat were freaking out! You should have seen how fast they moved out of the way!Lunch on the balcony! Yes, that is 4 sets of twins, 1 set of triplets and one singleton:)
