11 Months Holy Cow!

The months are just flying by! In a couple of days we will be 11 months old, and then 1 year! I've been starting the birthday party planning, making invitations and decorations. It's going to be a lot of fun.
We are learning all sorts of new things and we are getting into EVERYTHING! We crawl very fast and over anything in our way including our siblings.

I took a leap recently and joined the local YMCA. I weighed all of the angles. Would I actually get up a little earlier everyday and get the kids ready and drive to town? Does the child watch area's times work with our schedule? Are their workout classes I'll enjoy during those times? And then the realization that the babies will probably catch a cold here and there due to being around other kids. After thinking about it, I joined. It's nice to go in and leave the kids in the play room and have 90 minutes to workout not worrying about them. I went Mon - Thur last week. On Friday we all had colds. Really?? So we haven't been back this week yet. Maybe tomorrow, if we all sleep tonight...

Rylan is Mr. Speedy


Brileigh continues to ham it up.


Brett, showing mommy it's time to lower the mattress!


We do manage to play nice together once in a while. Our toys are getting a little stale, so it will be so nice to get some new birthday presents next month!

Happy Early Halloween

So I'm not going to parade my children around on Halloween. I'm the kind of person who is going to wait until my kids are old enough to understand Halloween before we go trick or treating. It is hard however to pass on all of the costumes! It would be fun to dress them up!

I did get them some Halloween shirts for the upcoming holiday. I have a cute "Mommies Monsters" picture frame that I picked up at Kohls. So we got our Halloween "outfits" on for a picture to put in the frame. Getting everyone together and smiling or even looking at the camera is a battle, so we take what we can get these days!


Rylan is a camera ham. He gets excited and starts posing every time I get the camera out!

Brileigh is certainly Wickedly Cute in her spider shirt!


And Brett was more interested in goofing off during our photo shoot then anything else!

Fallen a Sleep

Today at nap time the boys were rowdy, they didn't want to fall asleep. Brileigh obviously wanted to know what was going on.


She pulled down the bumper so she could spy on her brothers through the bars. But unlike her brothers, she was actually tired and fell asleep in spy mode! How cute is that!

Baby Update

So we had our 9 month check up earlier this week. They have been growing like weeds! The boys are both 21 pounds 4 ounces, and Brileigh is 19 pounds 14 ounces. It's starting to get tough picking up more than one baby at a time with those weights! They are such good babies, always happy! We have been experimenting with food lately. They love their dad's pull pork!

Rylan especially shovels it in!


Brileigh is a good mess maker. Food usually ends up in her hair.


Brett eats anything he can get his hands on. They really love mac and cheese!


Brett also brought to my attention, we need safety locks on the cabinets!


What??

Parades

This weekend was our town's "days". So the babies got their first taste of a parade. Over all I think they really enjoyed it. All of the big vehicles were a hit. The first siren that went off scared Brett, and the bottom lip came out. But he got over it pretty quick.

Rylan just made me laugh, he was sitting so content in the stroller, hands crossed and all.

Brett was in chill mode, once he got over the siren noises. He lost his frogger blanket somewhere between the parade and the park, but luckily there was a good samaritan who found it!


Don't they look soo excited!

Hams

We've finally had some good weather. It has actually been beautiful lately! Mid 80's! The babies and I have gotten outside some to enjoy it. They are growing so fast. Today they are 9 months old! Brett is the only one with teeth, he has two. It has proven impossible to get a picture yet. They don't shy away from the camera though. They love to ham it up!


Here is my goofy boy Rylan!


And look at this ham! She loves the camera!

Okay so Brett didn't feel like hamming it up for the camera today. He has always been the serious one.

I just had to share this photo. Brileigh was so upset with Brett. He wouldn't hold his foot still so she could chew on it!

The summer is flying by so fast! They babies have really been keeping me busy. They boys are starting to crawl! YIKES! Brileigh is more interested in rolling around to get where she wants to go. The new carpet has been installed and my painting project is done. I don't have pictures as I haven't finished moving things in yet. Now that the babies are more mobile, I need to decide what I'm all going to put back out. I've had some time to work on crafty projects, but not a lot of time. The babies still take a good 3 hour nap in the afternoon, but there are always soo many things to get done! I've got a couple of pictures of what we've been up to lately.


Rylan is soo goofy. He always has a smile on his face. It doesn't take much to get him laughing.


My daughter aka long arms, got a hold of her dinner while I was warming her bottle. Notice the old cream carpet, we are more careful on the new carpet. She was so proud of herself.


Here is Miss Brileigh again sporting her first ever ponytail. She sat so still for me while I did her hair!


And last, my big boy Brett. My dad is a late model race car driver, and I think Brett my be following in his footsteps! He loves driving his car.

That's all I have today, it's about time for the babies to wake up from their nap, so I better get my chores done!
