TEETHING..........

So I think the girls are finally teething. They have been for some time now but the signs are undenialable now. It's funny but they are like one baby in two with the symptoms. Samantha is soaked all the time with the slobber. Natalie on the other hand is the fussy and warm baby. No teeth just yet, but boy are they working on them. Samantha is miss kissy, she grabs your face and lays one on you. It probably has something to do with the teething, but I like to call them kisses. Natalie will chew on anything you give her, fingers, toys, blankets, she doesn't care.

As for little Miss Aubrey, I am at my last straw with her potty training. She turned 3 in Feb and I want to start in school come Sept. Well, at the rate we are going I don't think she will be potty trained in time. I try not to talk about it too much, advise from the drs. When I do bring it up, I get "Thursday" or "No Thank You" from her. She isn't interested on Thursday either. When she brings it up it sounds great. She is always going to go potty on the big potty, yet we never do. Now she's where she won't let me clean her up without a fight. I tell her if she would potty like a big girl it wouldn't be so bad. That still doesn't convince her to try. HELP!!!

Ringling Bros....Here we come!!!







I'm not sure why these pics came out so small. I hope you can still see what fun it was at the circus. I can't wait to take the twins when they get bigger. Hope we get the preshow privledges again. Chances are slim to none though. LOL

Circus Circus Circus...........







April got us free VIP passes to Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. It was sooo much fun. We got to have dinner with some clowns. Before the show we had the chance to go down in the arena floor and see everything up close and person. Aubrey tried on an actual outfit they wear in the show. Clowns were everywhere. They even brought out an elephant for us all to see. I can't imagine having a better trip to the circus. Thanks Aunt Monkey!!!

LOTS OF PICTURES

So I still have lots of pictures from Easter and I can only post four at a time. So look for more to come. I will spare the nariation for each set. You know it's Easter!! We had breakfast at Uncle Henry's, while we were there we had our egg hunt. My next exciting entry will be from the circus. My sister got free passes to the Ringling Bros Circus. We are going Thursday night, so I'll try to get them up over the weekend. I hope Aubrey has a good time, I'm super excited about it.

Happy Easter





The girls had a great Easter. Aubrey had an egg hunt with Dana, Denise, and Jordon. They had alot of fun. The Easter Bunny brought a basket with candy, play shoes, and jewelery. The girls got little stuffed bunnies. We dyed eggs and had a nice ham dinner. Samantha and Natalie were knocked out after their long day. Aubrey was in bed by 8pm, no nap will do that to you. Hope everyone had a nice Easter too!!

Our New Addition



Aubrey got her very own Easter Bunny. We went down to Joe Mastin's (Rick's cousin) farm where he has all kinds of animals. I'll take pictures next time and put some on here. Aubrey got to feed a baby goat with a baby bottle. It was alot of fun. Anyway, she picked our her own bunny. She also named it herself, Ali. We don't know if it is a girl or boy yet so the name can be pronounced two ways depended on what it ends up being. She's been doing pretty good with it so far. She doesn't like it to hop around to much because it always ends up under something so she can't get it. Thanks Joe, we are really going to enjoy having Ali around!!

Easter Bunny


We took the girls to the mall today to see the Easter Bunny. They all did great, no one was scared at all. We had a little trouble getting the girls attention, but it worked out. Daddy of course took his own camera so we would have more shots. Ours came out a little blurry. After we got back from the mall Aubrey wanted to take a walk. We went around the block, Aubrey had no trouble keeping up. The babies sat perfect in the stroller. I think they enjoyed the change of scenery. It was a nice day out and about enjoying the great weather. Hope everyone had their chance to enjoy it too.

Elmo's Coloring Book




We took Aubrey to see this show a couple of weekends ago. It was at the Bob Carpenter Center, so there wasn't a bad seat in the whole place. She thought she was hot stuff with her popcorn, cotton candy, and soda all on her lap. All the characters were waving hi just to her, of course. It was a nice special day for just daddy,mommy, and Aubrey. Rick's mom watched the twins for us. Aubrey really needs her private time with us since the twins take us so much of it.
