Naked Babies!

Ok, they're not really naked. We covered all the appropriate parts. They had a great time splashing away in the tub last night. I had to take some pictures.

Wheelbarrow Ride

The boys had a fun time yesterday riding in Opa's wheelbarrow. Usually the grandkids get very excited about it, but for some reason it relaxes our boys. Once they even fell asleep riding in it. We also snapped some pics on my parent's front porch. It was a very cool, very clear fall day so the lighting was perfect for a photo shoot.

Later we went to see Creighton's Grandmother (the boys Great Grandmother Lynes). We just call her "Grandma!" She's so sweet. They boys (OF COURSE) were wild as little bucks so once again, our visit was short. AND I forgot my camera! UGH! But when I apologized for all of this she just said, "Honey, it's all right. I just don't expect them to act any other way." She made me feel better about them being little explorers in her home. She's so sweet! We just love Grandma (Great Grandma)!!!

Visiting With Uncle Elijah

We took the boys to visit their Great Uncle Elijah tonight. He was so happy to see the boys. It was so great to see him and chat with him briefly. He's such a sweet man and has the best memory. He always knows everyone's name and asks great questions. We talked about Alex's glasses and how Ben got his name. Unfortunately, Ben was a little freaked out by all of the equipment in the nursing home and got a little upset so our visit was short. But we were able to snap a picture of the boys with Elijah.

18 Month Check Up Stats

So the boys had their 18 month check up on the 7th....I know...I know...I should have posted these sooner. But here are their stats from the check up!

Alex

Weight 20 lb 9.5 oz (1.7%)
Head Circ. 45.5 cm (4%)

Ben
Height 35 inches (98%)
Weight 27 lb 1 oz (66%)
Head Circ. 48 1/4 cm (64%)

In other news, this past weekeend, we finally got a chance to go see their cousin Kate cheer at a football game. It was so much fun. We snapped a pic of the boys with Kate in her uniform. When the girls were done with their cheers they would clap and yell "YAY!" Well, Alex and Ben thought that was their cue to do the same. It was so cute. They were clapping and yelling, "YAY! YAY! YAY!!!"

Well, I'm off to fill out the paperwork for college scholarships for male cheerleading! Hahahahaha!

Thing 1 and Thing 2

We had a dress rehearsal for Halloween tonight. I didn't get their hair painted very well since I didn't want to waste it on a "dry run." I think they look so adoreable and I CAN NOT wait for Halloween. How do you think Creighton will look as the Cat in the Hat?

Halloween Costumes FINISHED!

Ok now don't zoom in too close. This is completely amatuer work (puckers and all). but w/ fabric that was $1.97 a yard.......you really can't expect much! These were totally fun to make and I can't wait to put them both on the boys and paint their hair. Halloween ROCKS!

Riding Horses

We had a fun day yesterday at the UMOM Fall Party. The boys played with some of their fellow twin friends and also got to ride horses.

They enjoyed exploring the grounds.

Ben loved riding the horse while Daddy walked beside him.

But he was scared when we put him on with Alex because he was in the back and couldn't hold on to the pommel.

But he calmed down after we moved him to the front and had big brother holding on to him!
