An old girl and a sweet boy

Some days all we need is a little hug!

To each his own...

If I have a cleaner, why would I stop the cleaner?

One of Tyler's new favorite things to clean is the oven. He grabs a paper towel and loves to try to make it look shiny and new.

Tyler typically begins all of the new adventures. Thomas watches and once he feels like it is a reasonable idea.... he will join in.

Not that this a truly a reasonable idea though, Thomas is ready! Who doesn't want to try to figure out not only how to open the door, but now figuring out how to unlock it.

Thomas brings the next box over and his kind brother happily encourages him to try. He'll be glad to hold him up and even check out that diaper while he is at it! After all getting in trouble together is much better than getting in trouble alone.

After Tyler is done cleaning the oven, he is more than happy to go ahead and clean Thomas. 

These boys!

And on certain days when the axis is turned perfectly, they all want to join in for the "SUPER" clean!

The next Pelé

This one one VERY excited guy! Tripp and his Daddy began with a trip to the soccer shop. Looks like this guy could not have been more excited! There was a little girl in the shop that liked the shoes he tried on. 

Don: "Tripp, which shoes do you like the most?"

Tripp: "Deez!"

(of course the brightest ones that the little girl liked on him)

 

They even heat pressed his name on his shirt for the season. He's looking like the real deal - that's for sure!

Then after some practice he was ready for a full press scrimmage in the backyard!

Mr. Gustavo came over and even wore his Columbia uniform ready to play! Tripp was excited and ready to show off his new skill...

His Daddy has already informed him that he wants too many water breaks - the fusspusser likes "Bwakes" as he calls them (ha!)...

Juliette got into the game as well.

After a hard fought match Tripp let them know that Columbia and the USA won!

The kids all were happy to congratulate Columbia on a great match!

So on to the first practice. It was just the cutest thing! All 20 little people moving in all difference directions. The coach was stuck in traffic so Don went out there to warm them up.

The kids all had a ball and loved running around, cheering, AND taking water breaks!

Once a big sister always a big sister... you can even hear her guiding him and advising him on the video. Finally Tripp said to her, "Ju-iette I know how to do it!"

And the look on his face after the first practice! 

"I LOVED it! When can we play again??"

Some little guy slept well tonight!

A day with just "Little Boy Blue"

Today was a day for just Tripp! Don and I took him to Charleston Fun Park and did we have the fun!

There was a special guy looking down smiling today - his Great Grandfather Grandpa Bud! It was Tripp's first attempt with a golf club. He enjoyed it. His favorite part was picking the balls up out of the hole. He could be a great Cadddy!

You would not believe the excitement and intensity in Don driving this motorcycle! These are the most fun places to go because no matter the age there is a kid inside of all of us!

God help us... Tripp and a gun! 

And Mommy gave him such a nice ride he was just letting his hair blow in the wind! Whatr an enjoyable and memorable day for us with just Tripp. Thankful for such beautiful weather and a relaxing enjoyable day!

Life with my little twin boys

These little guys are so much fun... no not ALL the time as they can be complete handfuls and "Fuss Pussers" BUT life is always much better with them part of it!

Tyler is EASY going! He is a smiler, content and loves to giggle! He is very happy just cuddling. HOWEVER, he is into EVERYTHING! You cannot leave your eyes off of him for even 10 seconds.

If left unattended or even if he thinks he is unattended, you are able to catch a shot like this!

He has climbed into the shopping cart with his Daddy's shoes on and now just waiting around until someone feels like giving him a good push...

Well of course they say two is better than one and they sure understand what you're saying! We have Thomas the worker and Tyler enjoying the ride.

That changes quickly though and Tyler gladly will go ahead and give Thomas a good "Go Go Go" as they call it.

Speaking of cleaning, their favorite past time is "cleaning." Their Daddy says he doesn't even know where they have learned it from but it's surely not from their Mama. Well to be honest it would be hard to argue that point.

If they are not in the cleaning spirit at the moment, most likely you will find they searching for shoes to put on those little feet... preferably in their Mama's closet...

and Thomas Stovall... he is a special soul... he loves to laugh, smile and be easy when he wants to... I stress, when he wants to. Other times he will "fuss puss" if he is not being held or catered to...

They both started the Little Gym last week and really loved it. One of their favorite parts was ringing the bells.

In the mean time we continue to learn each other, learn about each other and feel our way through the world...

We learn new things each day - team work is always better! After all when you push one twin away and then try to bite him.... better be careful as you really are biting yourself! No Tyler that does not feel good and now you know how Thomas feels.

But in this great big world it is always comforting to know you have each other!

even on days you have no desire for team work...
