More to come .......

TWO YEAR PICS

I tried ..... the twins would not cooperate so my choice is to just settle or retake. I will settle !! It was to much work to even get these ones.

After three of us looking like idiots she finally gave us a partial fake smile :)

This is cute but Brayden will hate it when he is older !!

I will not smile you can't make me

Mom what are you doing with that thing on your head ......

Okay we give in a little

Only for you , Mom

Brayden , the perfect gentleman

PRICELESS .........

Arianna waiting her turn to "try" to go potty !!

As far as the training ..... its going S_L_O_W_L_Y !!!! I forgot how much patience this takes !!! Arianna ended up being the more interested one (don't they always prove you wrong). In fact today Brayden refuses to try at all . When I ask "who wants to try " Arianna yells "NANNA" and comes running !!! So we will see what tomorrow brings ...... any advice welcomed !!!

Where did my babies go ???

Does anyone else feel triple booked this season ?? Between school and church programs ... I DO !!! I am so forgetful and just plain busy !! But I won't complain to much because it is the BEST time of year ...... just a little more hectic with 4 kiddos :) Then in the middle of it all Brayden wants to potty train but Arianna is not ready !! Do I train one at time or wait until they are both ready !!?? Well I am off to another program ........ :)

Decisions, Decisions .................

FFF

Brayden and his papa :)

Wow ....

Check out his blog for the most amazing, touching meeting of the birthmother story.

DETERMINATION

Arianna on a mission .....

To "help" Angelika clean the playhouse

Scrubbing away ......

Mom this is serious business .....

But I guess I will give you a smile !!!

This week has started out with serious DETERMINATION. I guess that comes with almost being 2 . I have to increase my patience and let them get in the car seat by themselves and buckle in. But man , It takes them FOREVER !!! I guess it is a important part of there development ...... right ??
PS If your wondering why they are dressed for summer ... IT IS !!! We have had weather in the 70's !! Anyone wanna come visit !!!???
