The girls celebrated their first birthday, a month ago now! They seem to be growing up so fast! We are having so much fun learning new tricks and playing with all our new toys. We went to the beach with Grammy and G-pa, Aunt Amy, Uncle Todd and James. We had a great time! It was so nice to get away and enjoy the beach. It wasn't the typical beach trip, it was a little too cool to really get into the water. The girls loved the beach, as long as Samantha wasn't touching the sand! We are working on our walking skills. They can both stand up on their own, but haven't taken those first steps ...yet! We went to Boone for ASU's Homecoming. The girls loved the mountains and said they would love to live there too one day! They had the best time playing in the beautiful fall leaves. We will have to get some leaves from Grammy and Gpa's house for them to play with, since we don't have any at our house!

11 Months Old

Samantha and Elizabeth are 11 months old now and quickly approaching their first birthday! I can't believe how the year has flown by. The girls are getting so big, where did my little babies go? We are on the go all day long moving from one activity to the next. We gave the girls swings for their birthday and Daddy, Grandpa and G-pa worked really hard to build them an awesome swing set! We cheated and gave it to them early. They are both crawling and standing up, not walking...yet. They say Dada and Dog (minus the -g sound). They can also wave bye bye and give you 5. They are great eaters and feed themselves almost all the time now. Mommy is having fun planning their first birthday! She is making their cake from a recipe that was the girls' great great grandmother's pound cake! We will update with those first cake photos in a few weeks. We will be taking the girls to the beach for the first time after their birthday. We can't wait to go on vacation!

We love our new Swings!

Twins Update

8 Months

9 Months

10 Months Samantha

10 Months Elizabeth

So it has been over a month since our last post. The girls are growing every day! They are 10 months old now. Samantha has 9 teeth, Elizabeth has 7 going on 8. Samantha is officially crawling now and Elizabeth is on her way! They are both trying to pull up and can sit up and lay down on their own. They were born to play basketball like their Momma! They have a Fisher Price Goal and they can both make a basket. They enjoy clapping for each other after they score! They are feeding themselves finger foods now. I would say their favorite thing to eat is toast. They choose that over all the other food on their plates first. Aunt Amy, Uncle Todd, and their cousin James just came down for a visit. It was so nice having the kids all together. They all went swimming for the first time. They all loved it, but we think Elizabeth did the most. She took right to the water and started kicking and splashing. We have bath time in their baby pool on the front porch. This is lots of fun! It is so neat to watch them play, grow, and learn each day. I never know what new trick they will learn today!

Swimming in our Baby Pool!

Twins Go Camping!

We took the girls on their first camping trip a couple weeks ago. Jeremiah and I love to camp and were excited about taking the girls. We even got them their own little PeaPod tents to put in our tent so they wouldn't roll around all night! We went with Erin's Parents to Grayson Highlands State Park. We had a great time and the girls did wonderful, but I think we underestimated how much extra work it would be camping with two eight month olds. We have decided until they are a little older we will be sticking to backyard camping for a while!! We took them on a couple of hikes in their new backpack carriers, which we love! We even saw some wild ponies!
