The twins meet Uncle John, Aunt Kathleen and Owen

"Mommy I can do it myself…"

Yes, this is what she tries to tell me everyday. She walked out of my bathroom today and this is how I found her. Not bad I thought for a six year old giving herself "pig tail braids"

She now loves to get in my makeup and tries to put anything and everything on… She could spend hours looking at herself in the mirror. The other day when my Dad picked her up and took her to the bus, she jumped in the front seat of his car, pulled down the mirror and redid her hair. Apparently she did not like the pig tails that I did for her. Dad noticed as she got out of the car, she had some disastrous braid that was sticking out to the side of her head. She was so proud of it and happily jumped out of the car and ran to the bus.

Why I can't leave him out of my sight for a minute

I noticed the lovely tranquility and quiet feeling in the house. It did not dawn on me to wonder why it was quiet - only how nice it was at the moment. When the quietness continued, I was concerned and began to take a look in my room to see what was going on…

Yup! He watched me put the eye liner on so that dickens went and found it in my make up case and tried to put it all over his eye…

I liked to think that he was trying to look like a pirate but unfortunately he just responded…. "I look like Mommy now…"

Working on some tummy time...

Thomas was working hard on stretching that head and neck… 

All was nice and peaceful until….

This piece of work decides to intercede! Even the baby lowers his head back down at the sight of that loud monkey! Dressed in his finest "birthday doggie Camisa" and his "jammie pantalones" with his Sister's kitten hat with a bow on it 

(luckily on backwards)

Oh what to do first on gorgeous weekends!

The weekend was gorgeous!! We got out all weekend and enjoyed. Juliette and Tripp decided that they wanted to have car races in the drive. You can imagination the competition - Tripp had to win and Juliette had to win… both claimed they each won.

She still loves her antique Ford… just like her Mama she hates shoes!She would run barefooted anywhere and everywhere.

So the race was on….

Tripp was not satisfied and was sure that his motorcycle could go faster than his Daddy pushing him!

I was not to be left out of the fun with one baby with me and the other asleep. 

Gypsy even had some good ball throwing...

Turn your head for a skinny minute and this is what you find...

Hence why he has to be watched! "Look Mommy I drive Ul'Nanny's boat with da wheel! I take it to Atlanta…"

Thomas and Juliette - this is the one who resembles Juliette so much!

As the days go by and the twins get older Juliette tends to them more and more. She would like to now hold them and feed them. Last night I walked in to her singing to Tyler. It was the sweetest thing ever!

And if Buckwheat can't be at the house with her… she now takes her Easter bunny basket and her two bunnies everywhere with her… wherever she falls asleep they are there! 

Yesterday afternoon we made time for a picnic… perfect weather and a perfect day to relax!

We found some good friends at the Juvenile Diabetes walk! What a super weekend!

Morning conversations….

Consist of this…

Eating his cinnamon chex… "Mommy they shouldn't push each other…. dats not nice…"

Looks like one is ready to boss the other already...

Thomas trying to give him the ol' head lock young in life….
