Misc from September

My goodness September has flown by.

This month we had school, parties, grandparents visit and of course we were Johnny Apple Seed...see below. In any case, just some fun photos of this past month.

My parents with Dylan outside. They were on their way back from a vacation up North

Dylan and Grandpa reading a story

Taryn busting out one of her cute smiles. When asked Dylan what he likes most about the twins, he says sweetly, "their smiles". Very cute! They do smile a lot.

Feeding time with twins is always a little challenging. One still nurses and the other takes a bottle and i tell you it's a juggling act...talk about multi-tasking. I always tell Dylan, "mommy wishes i had one more set of hands".

btw: the last post of Dylan in the kitchen with n in out...yes that is our make shift kitchen. We are looking forward to settling down and taking advantage of the housing market in the near future. If any of you remember to pray for us in this area that would be awesome! We are excited about what God has in store for us. I'm looking forward to a little more space in a kitchen, especially with the addition of twins. I know no one really cares, except for us, but just thought i would ramble...

BTW: Jason and I planned on taking some pictures of each other with the kiddos this past weekend, but once again we got caught up in misc...catching up around the house before another week.

Dylan turns Six

It took a whole year, but Dylan finally turned six. I say that only because after last year's birthday he could barely wait until he turned six. All year long he talked about turning six. So funny.

Okay and the birthday crown was from Kindergarten and he wore it all day and we even found him in bed with it on...so cute...

Since his birthday was on a Monday we had the party on a Saturday. However, I had to make the day fun for our big birthday boy. So I let him pick lunch and of course he chose "in n out". So we were going through the drive through and the lady taking our order heard Dylan say from the back seat "it's my birthday today". So she wrote on the receipt that there was a birthday boy in the back seat. Soooo when we picked up the food at the last window all the cute gals stuck their heads out the window and said, "Happy birthday...where's the birthday boy"...and made a big fuss...so cute"
Nolan was still sleeping, but Taryn was just staring at Dylan's crown
Dylan thought Taryn was so cute he kissed her...so sweet!

Tea

Tea...

After I stopped swimming competitively I decided not to drink this tea anymore...due to the calories. However, when Dylan started Kindergarten and i started running again at 5am i decided i needed a pick me up in the morning. More than ever. The twins sleep great at night, but having three kids i have never felt so exhausted at the end of the day. Even while training for tri's i've never felt so tired. It's a rewarding tired... In any case, so i drink a glass of sweet tea in the mornings now... What does anyone else do for a pick me up?

Trick or Treating with new friends in San Jose

Yes Dylan was a spider two years in a row...he wanted to be a spider again. I thought it was great because it made my life easier as far as picking out a costume and the spider was o'so cute.
