A Little of This and a Little of That

So..................the big news around here is that the boys had their first "meal" on Saturday. You can let the video do all the talkin' on how it went! Clearly, we were far more excited for them to eat cereal than they were! (**sidenote- The boys DID NOT sleep through the night that night like we were promised. We want our money back!)


We hope it doesn't take too long to download on your computer!




And a hodge podge of pictures for your viewing pleasure........

Hot Fun in the Summertime

Hey Friends and Family-

Last weekend we were brave and ventured out to boiling Bakersfield to visit our friends Tami and Craig and their two wonderful children, Emma and Cole. (Emma was the adorable flower girl in our wedding who sat next to Andrew in the wagon.)

We had a fun, fun time despite the triple digit temps and enjoyed some R and R in the pool. Emma and Cole love the boys and are very good helpers.


In preparation for the trip the boys tried on some hats:

Nico looking good in his Dodger Blue cap.

"All aboard" says Blakey.

"We're ready to go!"




Emma and Nico






Emma getting in on some Nico snuggles.

Nico slept through pool time but Blakey enjoyed being in the water. (most of the time!)

Cole, Jeff and Blake chillin' in what felt like bath water!

"I was just kidding Blakey, there are no sharks in this pool!"

"Real funny dad!"

Other than that the boys are moving around EVERYWHERE! The days of leaving them on the couch "for just a quick second" are long gone! They are scooching all over the place! I really can't imagine what it is going to be like when they are crawling around everywhere.

The boys will be 6 months old in a couple of weeks and we will be trying out some solid foods soon! I'm sure that will make for some fun pictures!

Hope you are all well and staying cool this summer!

Love,

Rebeca

Busy Babbling Boys

We have been busy, busy, busy over here! My dad and step mom have been staying with us over the last couple of weeks and my sister is visiting from Arizona. So the boys have been out and about hangin' with their cousins at the beach, mall, book store, etc, etc.

On the 4th we went to our usual spot near the local community college. We packed a picnic dinner and the kids ran around until it was time to watch the fireworks. The boys fell asleep in their stroller about half an hour before showtime. We were quite nervous that the fireworks would wake them up and startle them....but, nope, they must have been very tired because they slept through the whole thing!

Here are a few pictures from that day.......

A close up of Nico

Blakey with his hat on...we though it might muffle the sound a bit!

My sisters and me with the boys

My nephew Evan (Ryan is in the background....mmm...he had recently enjoyed some cupcakes!) with Blake

My niece Serina with Nico............he wasn't too happy......it was right before bedtime!

This is Jeff's picture from our Meet the Babies shower. Arden and Tristan are the boy/ girl twins holding Nico and Blake. Natalie and Samson are also boy/ girl twins..........We thought this was a cute picture!

My sister took a whole bunch of pictures when we were at the beach so I'm anxious to get those and post some......There is a potential trip to the zoo in the coming days and I will definitely have my camera for that one!

Oh, there continues to be a lot of babbling going on in our house! Each morning (very early morning) I get to wake up to one of the boys talking away on the monitor......It really is sooooo cute and I need to get some video footage ASAP!

hugs and kisses-

Rebeca

Enjoy the pictures!

Yes, I know, not a very creative title but it sums up this post.........

Mary holding Nico while TJ admires his eyelashes. Yes, we know how long they are!

Daddy and Blake- Can't get much cuter than that!

There is one more picture coming that Jeff took. We ended up with 3 sets of twins at the shower, all 3 years apart. Jeff has that picture and will not release it to me until it has been properly edited.

In other news, we are looking forward to celebrating the 4th with the boys. Uncle Warren and Aunt Penny will be meeting the boys for the first time this weekend so that will be exciting!

Both boys are starting to grab at things now and everything is going straight into the mouth- blankets, burpies, etc, you name it and it's in there- watch out!

My niece Carolina is over tonight and we had a delightful first- Blake was in his bouncy seat in the family room. The dogs were celebrating their realization that they were actually going to go for a walk. As they wrestled each other excitedly Blakey began to giggle away. It was adorable and I am sooooo sad that it was not recorded on camera! He was entertained by them for a good 5 minutes or so.........We know it is only the beginning of the dog show so I am sure we will have the opportunity again to capture the giggles on video!

Later on in the night Jeff put on a Beatles record at my niece's request- she's only 13, but very mature! Low and behold, Nico fell asleep for the night listening to John and Paul singing away! Yes, he is our son!! Blakey was too excited to sleep, but fell asleep shortly thereafter in his crib!

Okay, off to bed. Jeff has a wedding tomorrow so I must sleep when I can!

Hugs to all and I hope you all enjoy the holiday weekend,

Rebeca
