Daddy found Kelseys 4 wheeler at helping hands so he bought it for her and she LOVES it and knows its hers :)

Been really busy can't you tell by my lack of posting :) we have done so much and its almost Christmas... The twins had a great Halloween at Jim's office where they trick or treated in the nice warm building and they got so much candy their buckets ripped on the bottom. Oh well they were only 1.00 at the associate store. Carson's costume was a HIT!!! Kelseys was too :).

Mom was here to visit and help watch the twins for us while we went to a couple Razorback football games (thanks mom) we didnt have to pay for a babysitter.

Thats it for now!

What we have been doing lately

This is how we found her sleeping the other night HA HA hilarious! I had to get Jim to get the camera and take pictures.

Playing in the neighbors driveway

Razorback game!

Pumpkin Patch

They couldnt quite look in time to take the picture they did think the hole things were cool though

Kelsey decided to leave the shot :)

Hayride we did not go on

Kelsey in a dress I found in her closet she loved it too bad she only wore it twice it was too short :)

Little Rock Jim's vacation and Toddler Beds

Playing with chalk before bath time, they love playing outside with Jim when he gets home from work. I love it to because I can clean up the house and get dinner started.

Here is how the toddler beds are going, he ended up in her bed he loves his sissy

Here is nap time notice himby the door and everything on the floor in their room

Playing at Wonderplace, they loved it we were there for a couple hours. Kelsey of course did not want to leave. We went on Grandparents day so Jims parents got in free and they only charged us for 1 child and 1 adult guess it pays to have twins :). Notice Kelseys new shoes, yes the stride rites we got her at the end of July no longer fit she had a growth spurt or something. So she got a new pair of nike tennis shoes on this trip and she loves them. I wish I took pictures of her modeling them at the store.

She played with this for a long time

Tita took out the sprinkler and they ran through it they loved it..

Heres some of the toys they get to play with at papa and Titas

This is the tricycle we get to play with there, Jim's parents got them regular trikes for Christmas and this one is for their house.

We went to Little Rock the 1st weekend in Sept for the game (Jim bought LR tickets this year for his dad for Father's day) Paula and I hung around the house with the kiddos. Sunday we went to church with them and came home and the twins played and loved it. Monday (Labor Day we went to Wonderplace before we left LR the twins had alot of fun.

Jim was on vacation last week and the twins started Moms Day out on Wednesday so we put together the twins toddler beds (I really dont have the patience for this) nap time is horrible during the day and bed time is too unless they are tired. They are gated in their bedroom but they destroy everything, today I went up to find him climbing up the dresser good thing we have that secured to the wall. What is funny though is Kelsey rolls underneath her bed and sleeps there then can't figure out how to get out in the morning. Carson came running to the gate this morning reaching out his hand for my help to get her out from under the bed. Total kodak moment but do I bring my camera to their room at 7am NO.

Carson gives his sissy hugs and kisses all the time its so precious!

Here is Carsons Christmas gift we are getting Kelsey one too. The only reason we got his is because I went to Rhea Lanas this year big consignment sale (I am consigning this year) and just happen to find this. IT was only used once and was 50.00 at WMT it was 70 so we saved some money. If you like to shop you should check out Rhea Lanas (www.rhealana.com) for kids clothes, it was packed in there tonight and I had no desire to look through any of the racks. I did find books and a toy see I stuck to my list :) and didnt come out with a bunch of stuff we dont need.

Here is Carsons bandaged hand from his burn

Poor baby!!!! I love him and his hand is all better now

He still didnt get the idea that it was hot and hurt him the next day he touched it again only it wasnt hot.

I know its been a month since my last post... I am a busy lady.

A few weeks ago Carson burnt his had on the exhaust of the 4 wheeler, we took him to WellQuest thank GOD it was not 2nd or 3rd degree. They told us to put silverdine on it and keep it wrapped up for a couple days.

Church activities started up again this week so I am working again now.... staying busy. HOGS game this weekend in Little ROCK!!! YEAH!

Updates

My step mom got Kelsey this dress in Mexico, she wouldnt turn around so I couldnt get the front. Its so cute!

IT rained this day (cant remember what day this was) Jim thought it would be fun to let them stand on the front porch to watch it pour.

My sister Meredith and baby Atari at grandmas he is sooo big

Atari trying to escape all the people, babies, and food

All the great grandkids playing legos and their parents watching!!!! Jack is in the brown he is my cousin Joes son

My brother Bobby with the twins (Kelsey had a rough time) not sure if it was allergies but anytime we would go to grandmas she would bang her head on the ground and throw fits. Jim had to leave with them one night to go back to the hotel because she was out of control.

This was the first Friday on the square in July, this Friday will be another one we may go.

This was fathers day!

See how behind I am, this was back in June at Carla's she invited us over to play with Isabella's sand and water table. Since it was soooo hot, we couldn't do anything we thought this was a cool off activitiy. Yeah Kelsey loved it and was covered from head to toe in SAND.. Note to self if I ever buy this table or someone buys it for us do not buy sand I will put water in both sides since sand is no fun to clean up.

Okay I know its been over a month since the last post, seriously I have been staying busy this summer. Of course keeping the twins busy too :) we are trying to be outside as much as possible since I dont want them in front of the tv. However when its really hot we have to get creative and find things to do inside.

The twins really love playing with SIDEWALK chalk and whoever invented it ROCKS. The twins love it and it keeps them busy outside. We play in the backyard since they have their swingset and I can let them run around the back yard and know they can't get out and go in the street. They color with sidewalk chalk on the patio in the shady spots (well I shouldnt say color, since they don't draw elaborate pictures) just lines. However its better than nothing and they usually see me draw or write something and want to copy.

Last week we took a trip to Charlotte North Carolina to see my grandma who turned 90 last month. Jim and I went a couple years ago before the kids. We had talked about going a few months ago but my dad said they werent going to be able to make it, then out of the blue he said they were leaving on Tuesday and driving. So we booked last minute plane tickets and went. It was great since my grandma has not seen any of the great grandkids, plus I got to see Atari. Jim and I saw Atari last year when he was like a month old when we went to MN.

Next year there is talk of renting a beach house in NC and taking grandma there and spending a week, so we are definaltey looking forward to that plan. If we can all get on the same page and get it organized.

Carson got ear tubes the 9th of July and he is doing SO much better! He is talking more now and sleeping better. Saying please, cup, ball, juice, shoe, sissy. He knows more when you talk to him he just cant say the words yet. Kelsey could care less about saying words, she does say EI EI O they have a video that has old Macdonald song on it.

Overall just so happy :). We are still working on using silverware to eat with, I have not been pushing it since its so hard with 2. I got rid of their high chairs and they exclusivley sit at their table now (which is hard because 1 or both get up during meals and wander). Ugh!!! I need to get them using the spoon at least when I have they do a couple scoops then its all over the place I know I need to chill but I really would love my floors to stay clean for a day. It will come in time, they start MDO soon so maybe they will pick it up from the other kids. We have tried potty training, but no go. They go in the bathroom and Kelsey gets the seat but then when I put it on the potty she gets mad. That will come in time too!!! not pushing that one.

Church activities start up again this week so now I will be back working Wednesday nights, Sunday mornings, nights (Sun nights start the 16th) and Tuesday mornings starting Sept. Which is good I will get out of the house in the winter and its only a couple hours a time. Sundays are going to be hard because I work the nursery in the mornings, then church service, then home by 1 and then back to church by 4:15. It will work out, and nothing is definate so if I dont want to work a Sunday night for awhile then I wont.

Sorry pictures are all out of whack I hate blogger and dont know how to organize the pictures!!! Well I must go now, I have alot to do while the twins are napping. (YES they are finally taking 1 long nap) usually 10-11 and they sleep until 1230-1 ish.....
