First of all, Happy Cinco de Mayo!
We'll I guess you all might have thought that after their first birthday this blog was all over. Done. Finite. Kaput. And so it may have seemed, since I haven't submitted a post over the last 3 weeks. But I have my reasons, and two of them include (1) time, or lack thereof, and (2) the NBA playoffs. But don't judge me.
Okay, so a lot has happened since the twins turned one. So much so that I can't remember all of the events and activities, so I must fall back on my disclaimer that I am going to use pictures to bring you back to speed. Like the famous proverb: "Pictures are like a thousand words"...well, you'll get the picture (no pun intended!)
On the flip side the children are all growing beautifully. The big news thus far is Kohlden has finally matched his twin sister by being able to stand up on his own AND WALK. Cue video here:
So hopefully I'll get back to the routine of submitting a weekly post, although I'm trying to figure out what night would suit us best in terms of time and effort. Perhaps this would be a Friday night activity. Perhaps not.
Anyway, let's begin....
 |
| Holding a chicken at the Winter Garden Spring Festival |
 |
| The twins have their first pool experience. Maddy loved it; Kohlden, not so much. |
 |
| Little Miss Lady Goo-Goo GaGa? |
 |
| The view in our van: all 3 facing forward now. |
 |
| Kohlden gets his first haircut from Nana. He looked so mature, and handsome! |
 |
| Singing happy birthday to them at Sabbath School. |
 |
| Braelyn helped Mommy with the decorations for the twins' birthday celebration. |
 |
| These amazing cupcakes were the creation of Jennifer Bergherm of "Sweet Expectations" fame. |
 |
| They did not know what to do with their personal cakes! |
 |
| Alas, this was all that was left of the storm created by unsupervised children upstairs in Braelyn's room. Good thing there's a daddy around to help clean up messes! |
 |
| The family came to the mall to visit Daddy at work and to have lunch. Here Maddy shows off some new shades. |
 |
| The twins enjoy helping with the dishes. |
 |
| Tangie and I visited our friends Edman and Michelle Fuentes as they welcomed their 2nd daughter, Lily. |
 |
| The kids enjoying the front lawn on a beautiful Friday afternoon, which led to an impromptu photo session from Uncle Mike, who stayed with us while he was in town for a project. |
 |
| PURE |
 |
| JOY! |
 |
| Family portrait |
 |
| Watch out ladies! |
 |
| Hard Cheese! |
 |
| We had a visit to the zoo, and of course, we brought along our professional photographer to capture the moments! |
 |
| The sisters having fun in matching dresses. |
 |
| Kohlden at the water park. |
 |
| Siblings holding siblings. |
 |
| Having Mike over meant grilling some filet mignon topped with boursin cheese, served with rice and broccolini. Fantastic! |
 |
| Brae colored some eggs for Easter. |
 |
| Our 3rd annual Easter tradition: Brunch at Grocack's parents home complete with Easter egg hunt. |
 |
| The children examine their bounty. |
 |
| Braelyn's new hobby: Cup stacking! |
 |
| Brae at the Nemo exhibit at EPCOT Center |
 |
| Trying to catch (or dodge) the flying water at the World of Imagination. |
 |
| Her favorite part of EPCOT? Playing on the playground, of course! |
 |
| Sharing gelato with Mommy at the Italy Showcase. Poor Maddy was taking her nap so she missed out. |
 |
| So this is how a hamster feels.... |
 |
| Me trying out the segway. |

Glad you're back in business!
