Exciting Times At Our House!!!!

WOW, our boys are six months old now! Just think, this time last year we had just found out we were having twins, and now our life is totally different! The boys had their six month check ups. It has taken me so long to update because I am just so dang busy! They both are doing really well, I had to take all the kids with me to the appointment, so I didn't get to pay as close attention as intended to with. Devin was having fun playing in the sink and getting his shirt all wet, then he was throwing the paper from the counter all over the floor...it was chaos!!!!! Next time I will make sure I don't get the appointment time all mixed up so I will have the babysitter at the right time!
Jordan is in the 10% for height and he weighs 16lbs and is in the 25% for weight. I wanted to ask if they were still on the premie growth chart, but I forgot to ask. Then they didn't fill out the stuff on Blake's paper, and of course I didn't notice until I got home. But they are both pretty close anyway. One thing about Blake, we need to take him to see the surgeons at Childrens, as he seems to have one testicle that has not dropped. Our pediatrician doesn't feel it either, so, either it's not there or it will need to be surgically lowered if it hasn't done so on it's own by 12 months of age. It's nothing to worry about, even if he does have to have surgery, but pray that he wont.
As for other exciting news! Devin, up until last night has been absolutly uninterested in potty training. Finally we changed his mind. Brooke is still wearing pull ups to bed and this time she wanted "Cars" pull ups, well Devin saw those and wanted to wear them too! We told him if he wanted to wear car pull ups he had to go potty in the big boy potty, so off he went to go potty! He was dry all day today and even went #2 twice in the big boy potty! Now that's what I call easy! Lets hope it stays that way!
On Sunday we are having Devin's 3rd Birthday party at the park by our house, he is very excited for his "Monster Jam" party! He loves those big trucks!
Other exciting news.....only 4 more days till Brooke is an official Kindergartener!!!! Times change fast, don't they!!!!

Lazy Days of Summer!

Here we are in the middle of summer. It's very hot today, but heard it's supposed to get yucky! No my favorite. We went to the San Juan's this last weekend with some friends and had a great time. The kids all did really well, even Blake and Jordan who still slept through the night. I was preparing to not get much sleep since we all slept in the same room, but they did just fine.
I took the boys to the Dr last week as they both had congestion and coughs. I didn't want to get up in the middle of nowhere and have them get really sick. Blake was a little worse than Jordan, so the Dr gave him an antibiotic to help get rid of his cough and congestion. He seems to be doing better now.
They are now playing in exersaucers and enjoy them,they don't like to be in the swings much now unless they are tired, they would rather play.
We have a young friend from church over today to keep Devin and Brooke busy, their outside playing right now, it's nice to have some down time. Blake and Jordan are taking naps right now! I'll try to get some new pictures on here soon!
