Baby Twins are coming soon! Bailey & Raegan

We went to "Aunt Buff's" shower today. She is due with twin girls at the beginning of April. Our baby Briley was born April 2nd so maybe they will arrive on that day! A funny story on Paityn - when she was a toddler, she was quite the talker. Unlike Briley who merely utters words at almost two years old, Paityn was speaking in sentences by now. BUT, she couldn't quite master the word Stephanie so hence, Buff was brought to life. Aunt Steph liked the name soooo well, it has stuck ever since! We love you Buff! Congratulations and we can't wait to spoil some more girls rotten! Uncle Matt, you're way outnumbered so just get used to it now! :-) Girls, girls, girls! You really won't have a chance!
We had to get both names in the pics. (Sorry the first one is dark - not a photographer?)

Of course, mom made the cake so we had to showcase it here for all to see! It was one layer strawberry and one layer white - just to be extra girly! The pacifiers down the middle were for the girls and may come in handy very soon. We got 3 different kinds because if those baby girls are anything like Briley, they may just be a little "picky"! :-0

Oh YES, I CAN dress myself - kinda!

Here we see Briley in her most recent attempts to dress herself - minus the shirt, she put the pajama pants and pull-up on ALL BY HERSELF!! Obviously, we don't think much of the pull-up. At times, it might as well be on her head becuase we sure aren't using it elsewhere! Seriously, Briley really does well going potty at night when we are home and in a routine and also first thing when she wakes up. She gives the hand signal and off we race to the potty. However, she does like to dump the potty all by herself and that poses another problem altogether. :-o



The Many Faces of BRILEY

Here, Briley is mad - supposed to be "gritting" her teeth! :-o
Next, here are her "evil eyes" - she's getting pretty good at this one!
Now, we are sad - an overly emphasized frown!
Last, we have our famous silly face - learned from big sister Paityn!

Merry Christmas everybody!

Here are just a few pics of the girls enjoying their morning! Briley just really liked opening packages - hers AND Paityn's! :-)We had a wonderful day visiting friends and family and are ready for a LONG night's sleep. Merry Christmas everybody!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas?

We TRIED to make some home Christmas photos but to no avail. Briley didn't want to "pose" for more than 3 seconds and, of course, mom was trying to take pictures and do about 10 other things so we finally gave up. We used some beach picures from our recent vacation for our Christmas cards - watch for them soon! I love looking at the ocean and sand no matter what time of year!

My SWEET girls!

I've been soooo busy with cakes and things lately that I haven't taken a break long enough to post. I was browsing through some pictures tonight and came across this one. I'm so blessed to have the sweetest girls in the world! Sometimes we really need to stop and be thankful for what we have! I'm thankful for every day & every moment with them!

Happy Halloween

We took a stroll around our neighborhood with Tyler and our cousins, Jordan & Kobe. We had a great time and Briley caught on to the whole "putting candy in your bucket" thing VERY quickly. Never got out any words to say trick or treat or thank you but we'll be practicing for next year! Here are a couple pics of my cute little witch and Miss MadHatter! Enjoy!
