Happy (belated) 4th of July!

On Friday morning we headed to Boise to get our babies back! They looked so much bigger and are almost crawling.... ekkk. Good thing Darrell and I babied proofed the house while they were gone. Here are some pics of them showing off for us when we first got there:

Then on Saturday we headed out to the lake with Darrell's family. There was tubing, jet skiing, BBQing and beer... it was great! The tube was a three seater and I went out with Darrell and his brother, on our last ride both boys got thrown and I hung on for dear life and stayed on, I was pretty impressed with myself. Grandma and Papa even continued babysitting to allow us to have all this irresponsible fun on the lake.

Sunday we headed back to Portland and settled back into our routine. Monday is here and life goes on like the babies were never gone!

Mowing the lawn with Papa!

Texas trip cont.

After returning from Dallas we spent a week in Houston with family & boys tried their first solids!

Spent a day at Aunt Lara & Uncle Charlie's Pool:

We took a day and went to Galveston:

Then traveled to Austin; where we saw Kevin & Jamie, my Great Aunt & Uncle and their standard poodle Gigi (the boys had a blast playing with her). Daniel, Darrell's borther was in town working so he got to spend some time with the babies and fell in love. We played at the hotel pool and my God-mother Rita came to see the babies. And finally, went to Rachel & Justin's wedding (which was gorgeous btw) where we got to hang out with Mandy, Jake, Alison & Dustin! We also asked Mandy and Jake to be the babies' God Parents with Lauren and Evan- since there are two babies that's an awfully big undertaking for just one couple! Trust us, we know! :)

Getting Spoiled at Grandma's....

Day 1 at Grandma RJ's house:

I hope they don't get used to all this attention or we're going to have to convince Darrell's brother Daniel to move to Oregon and bring his girls!

Precious!

Darrell don't read this...but after seeing pictures of Morgan and Jeff's new baby girl...I kinda want one. :) Ekkkk.

She is gorgeous. Well, we all knew she would be and now she is here! Pictures here. Yea. Congrats guys, I can't wait to meet her.... Start showing her pics of the boys, she has 18 years to decide which one she is going to marry!

Happy Birthday Darrell!

Darrell is 31 years young today! We're heading to Boise after work today to spend the weekend with his family. Tomorrow we'll have dinner at On the Boarder and then Sunday we'll head back home for two entire adult only weeks!!! What more could a man ask for?

Happy Birthday Sweetheart! The world is a better place having had you in it for one more year.

Let me know what the other side of thirty feels like... I gotta ways until I get there. Geeez I married an old man ;) Young at heart though, that's what counts right?
