Nursery Buzzzz

Thanks to "Da-dee" the twins nursery is coming right along. We have made much progress since the last update. It is looking pretty cute. We are just waiting on a shelf we ordered that matches the honey bee collection. We plan to place it on the wall behind the Rocking Chair. Everything will be mostly finished at that point and just waiting on the Twins to arrive. We are getting anxious...we cannot wait to see them and snuggle them up!

Thank you Aunt Becky for these adorable Bibs & Burp Cloths!!!!

Jell-O Swirl

Here is my little munchkin enjoying his Jello Swirl Popsicle from last night. He is becoming sooo independent. He would not let me hold the Popsicle for him...he wanted to hold it all by himself. Surprisingly enough, he didn't make a mess with this one. It was so funny watching him eat it.

Loading Up

We were ready to head out the door this morning and we found Eli in the baby's car seat. He has been quite fascinated by the 2 car seats since we got them. We have them out getting ready to load the van up for all our munchkins!

Thanks Denise!

I got the cutest baby gift today from my lunch bunch buddy (a.k.a. big sis), Denise. She got me a baby wipes holder that is decorated like the Twins Room with Honey Bees and their names monogrammed on it. It is soooo cute. THANKS DENISE!

Twins Update

We had another doctor's appointment this week. We were able to get some really good 4-d Pics of Ava this time. Aiden wasn't much on the camera this time but we have a pic of them both now. They look so much like Eli so we may look as if we have triplets. That would be okay with us!!

Ava weighed in at 3lbs 9 oz and Aiden weighed in at 3lbs 12 oz. They are growing and I'm excited...I want big chunky babies! =)

Buzzed

We got Eli another haircut this weekend and it is SHORT! I am always so nervous when we get his hair cut because I am not ready for him to look like a toddler yet...even though it's happening right before my eyes. I still want him to have that baby look. Anyways, he did great and he looks adorable still.

Something to Buzz About: Phase I

We finally got the Twins nursery half way put together this weekend. It is still a work in progress and there are still a few things that we need to do but we are getting there. We will keep you updated on the progress! (it was very difficult trying to capture the entire room)

Showered by Medtronic

Medtronic showered us with lots of nice and much needed gifts last night. It was a pleasant evening and we appreciate it very much! Eli even got gifts. His Nana Noreen brought him a gift...Leggo's. He played with them as soon as we got home. The cake was made by a co-worker, Nicole, and it was DELICIOUS CHOCOLATE CAKE. She is so talented with her cake making little self. (love you Nicole)!
My Lunch Bunch came up with the names Zaca'Ray' and Zo'Nese'...so we took a picture with those names on the board as well. =)

The Twins room is going to be decorated with the Honey Bees theme so the shower was all about "bee happy".

Happy Birthday Sophee!

Eli was invited to attend Sophee's 1st Birthday party yesterday at the Sprinkler Park. After church we headed over to join in the fun. Sophee's real name is Sophia but Chuck always calls her Sophee. He just loves this baby girl to death. She ALWAYS grins when Chuck talks to her. He's just a "big kid" and you gotta love him!! Eli had a blast...especially since his daddy was out in the water playing and splashing around too.
