The race is on!

Quick trip to Granbury

We decided to go see my grandparents on Saturday.  It's always fun to play some dominoes, enjoy the view of the lake, and of-course EAT!

Our afternoon in pictures...

Cousin Love

We're almost down to one bottle a day, and they're getting more used to their sippy cups.  But...they've been fussier than ever this week, and I'm SO tired!  I know it will get better though.  They're also eating a variety of table foods.  I'll still feed them yogurt or applesauce, but they really like bananas, apples, mixed veggies, and a lot of the Gerber Graduates food.  Last night we ate dinner at my parents' house before church.  I got a couple of pictures of Bethany, Randal, Zachary, and Katie.  They have so much fun together!

Just another manic Monday

Woke up at 6:30am, fed the kids breakfast, found ants in the dining room, sprayed and vacuumed ants while kids played, put kids down for nap, started laundry, kids woke up at 10:30am, tried giving them milk in sippy cups, ate lunch, played with kids, watched Baby Einstein, kids went down for nap at 1:00 and slept until 2:30, fed them a snack, took Rudy and kids on 30 minute walk, came home and watched Mickey Mouse, wanted to give them a bottle, made it until 5:00 and fed kids dinner with milk (picked sippy cups off the floor a million times), gave kids baths one at a time, put them in jumper and exersaucer while folding laundry, and one of my biggest pet peeves...I'm missing a sock.  What a day!

Time Change

Between the time change and trying to get rid of bottles, Bethany and Zachary have been CRANKY!  We're almost down to two bottles a day.  My hope is to be done with formula by the end of the month.  They drink whole milk out of sippy cups at lunch, but I think the bedtime bottle will be the hardest to lose.  Any tips?

In an effort to make the kids happy, we'll do most anything for a laugh.  Here's Aaron being silly with Bethany!

I caught Zachary trying to escape our living room "play area" today!

Quick Comparison

I was looking back at some pictures and found this one from last Thanksgiving in Granbury.  Bethany and Zachary were about 1 month old (being held by Grandma Billie).  We got these same outfits as a gift, which they're wearing now at 1 year old.

Quite a difference!
