We’ve had lots going on lately!  The girls are changing and growing in amazing ways.  I can’t wrap my mind around the fact that they are turning into little girls- not babies.  That they were once 2 and 3 pounds and now closer to 18!  Wow- our God is so good.  People keep telling me- “oh- having twins gets easier!”  Well I L-O-V-E it with all my heart, but my girlies are On the Move (scooting) and that’s not easier yet- ha!  Reese is rocking on her hands and knees, is all over the place on her tummy and ends up in the funniest places!  Like UNDER the play mat…

Both girls have been enjoying the bouncer- it’s hilarious how much they get into it!  Here’s Riley laughing her head off!

My parents came last Thursday through the weekend and it was a blast!  The girls were THRILLED to see them and Casen too– he has started saying “Pop” and also says “Naa Naa” for Nan.  He’s a CUTIE!  We ventured to an outdoor shopping area to play, eat, and shop on Friday.

We made a stop at the Chocolate store… shhhh…. Here’s Casen showing us the big bear.  He loved it!

Casen decided shopping was for the birds!  He wanted to play!  Doesn’t he look so tiny in this big grassy area?! ha!

Sisters and their babies!  (Don’t be blinded by my whiteness… ha!)

He is such a hoot!

Mom and me

Reese checking everything out.  (Why does my arm look gigantic?!  Must be the angle… right… ha!)

Riley took a nice nap.  Doesn’t she look like a baby doll?!

After some shopping and playing, we met my sweet friend Amy for lunch!  It was fun to see her!!

Mom and Reese and Amy and Riley

Riley LOVES Miss Amy!

Reese was a bit exhausted from all the excitement…

Getting some lovin from Nan!

 

On Saturday, the girls went to their very first birthday party!  It was Autumn’s 2nd birthday- her mom, Anna, and I have been best friends since 6th grade!  It was fun to see them and meet some of Autumn’s friends!  The girl’s borrowed her swing and LOVED it!  If we had somewhere to hang it, we would get one too!  I’ll have to get creative…

Riley Grace squealing with delight.

Reese having a blast and Autumn and her friend in the background in her new wagon!

Cutting the cake!

Daddy and his girls

The girls got to meet Miss Harriett and Mr. Greg for the first time (Anna’s parents)!

Later that day, my Nanny came over to see the girls- they LOVE her!  It was so fun to see her with ALL her great grandchildren.  What a sweet time!

 

Reese and her Great Nanny

Having fun!

Silly Riley!

The great grandchildren!

Riley getting a little sleepy- she’s turned into quite the cuddle bug!

 

Sunday night (after Mom and Dad headed home) we met our friends for dinner and after walking our dinner off- we got some Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream and watched kids play in the fountains- it was so funny!  One day it will be OUR kids running around in the spraying fountains giggling!

Baby Drew- 3 weeks old!

Best Friends!  (kind of sleepy here… )

Monday was a relaxing day Memorial Day!  We had friends over to cook out and of course the only pics I took was of the kids!  Casen giving Riley hugs and kisses.  (Look at Reese’s face!  She LOVES him!)

Drew wanted to watch Tommy build the tower too… well… maybe he didn’t…ha!

Me holding Riley and Drew- Riley kept trying to eat his arm, but he didn’t mind.

 

WOW what a long post!  Thank you, Mom and Dad for coming to see us!  We had so much fun!  Can’t wait to plan our next trip to see you guys!!
