Grandpa...we love you!

Here are some pictures of the boys and Grandpa Tim. These are from the other weekend when Grandpa Tim and Grandma Cindy came down to watch the kids.
Cousins Isabelle,Gracie and Alivia were also over to make the weekend extra special.

Kisses xxoo

The boys are really getting onto giving kisses to each other. When one cries the other will lean over and give a kiss.

So happy together...

Shelby took the boys on a walk the other day and she noticed the boys had found a small hole in between the seats where they were able to find each others little hand to hold. How cute is that!

The big BLUE and big BROWNS... eyes that is.

Ya know it never gets old looking into these big brown and blue eyes...

And she did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After talking about it for a few months(ok years...hehe) Ashlee pierced her belly button. ooooooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuccccchhhhhh! At least that what I said when I did mine last week!!!!! yiiiippppiiieee hehehe!

Makes you wanna grab a cup of hot cocoa now doesn't it?

The Bow-Wow Brothers

Beau and Braxon really get into Monty... I found these puppy outfits and could not resist.
The one shot of the boys together where Braxton is looking over at Beau makes me think Braxton is telling Beau...
"Hey dude what do you think... should we both try to poo at the same time?" and Beau is thinking "Hmmmmmm... not a bad idea little bro!"

WE LOVE Barnes and Noble!!!

So today the boys and I took a field trip to Barnes and Noble... they loved it! Every time I would hand them a new book they went crazy! It really is fun for me to see them get so excited over books... I was not much of a book girl but I think now I have no choice. I have to admit... the book store is kinda a cool hang out! I'm not gonna lie, I did somehow end up wondering into the mall and do a little shopping but hey... the boys could always use MORE HATS right?!!

A year ago today... WOW was I big!

So looking back to where I was ago a year ago today brings back a lot of different emotions... sick, tried, excited, scared and soooooo uncomfortable. I never thought I would make it even one more day. Dave was taking care of me and I would cry just getting up to walk to another room. I could not reach around my tummy and touch my fingers anymore and everyday felt like a week. Little did I know in a 15 days would we give birth to two beautiful boys... now look who is turning one... time goes by so fast.

Bayfield...

Last weekend Dave and I went to Bayfield. At the last moment Jen and Chris decided to join us and we had a fun time. The leaves were at their peeks and the weather was beautiful. I was homesick for the boys but Grandpa Tim and Grandma Cindy did wonderful taking great care of them. Ashlee was home for a bit and got to spend time with all three of her brothers too.

I'm back... sorry for the time away!

Sorry everyone that I have not added any blogs in the past few days, yeah like over a week. I have been very busy but here are some pics of the boys and their new climber. I takes up most of the living room but it sure entertains them. Only problem is Braxton gets in the middle and can't get out. Beau has mastered all the climbing and Braxton does his best to keep up.
As you can see Beau is doing great standing. He stands up on his own and walks with help... it won't be long now!

Braxton the messy messy boy!

Check out Braxton after lunch today... they love anything with red sauce.
YUM- YUM right little buddy!

First trip to the Buffalo Ranch

The boys went on a tractor hay ride and loved it so much.

Braxton became friends with Harold the rancher!

Beau loves to stand up and look at the Buffalo.

Vince gets his driving permit!!!!

Today Vince got his permit. He drove me home from Hudson and well... it was weird,fun,scary and kinda funny all rolled into one.
The weird part was having my little Vince be my big Vince and drive me.
The fun part was to see him so excited and happy.
The scary part was we hit the ditch once(not even kidding).
And the funny part was hearing Vince toss out the F-bomb by accident when we hit the side of the road. We looked at each other and pretended that word never happened!

You will see Vince here with his head in his hands... he tells me I need to be quite and not talk when he is driving... good luck with that Vince!

Humpty Dumpty .. NO it's Humpty Monty

So Dave took the boys for a walk tonight and look who decided to HUMP him when they got home... I LOVE IT!
And yes Mandi it is that cold at night here... about 50 degrees and then the wind... yep.. that's Wisconsin for ya! So in November better pack the parkas HA HA!
