Thunder Babies

It's one of our favorite times of the year . . . Thunder playoffs!  The Thunder need a few extra lucky charms with Westbrook's season ending injury.  Jackson and Harper might just do the trick!  Either way they look super cute sporting all their Thunder gear and cheering for their home team!  Thunder Up!

 

Crazy Hair

The kids celebrated crazy hair day at school last week by Jackson sporting a mohawk and Harper the normal curly fro. 

Jackson seemed to have the rocker attitude to go with his mohawk.  He was definitely hamming it up! 

Look at those curls and wings!  This little girl definitely has her daddy's hair. 

15 month check up

It's hard to believe Jackson and Harper are 15 months old!  Can time please slow down?!?!?  How have my little preemies grown into 25 lb toddlers in just 15 short months????

Jackson and Harper seem to understand things now.  You can tell them its time to read a book before bed and they run into their room and pick out their favorite book or you can tell them it's time for a bath and they run into the bathroom.  Things just seem to have clicked this past month!  They interact more with each other, good and bad.  They have definitely learned how to annoy the other but they always give each other a kiss before bed and make amends.  Jackson and Harper are becoming each others best friend. It's truly amazing to watch a lifetime friendship develop! 

We have been blessed with two healthy, happy, vibrant 15 month olds!

Miss H looking so big reading a magazine while waiting in the Dr's. office.  Best time to catch up on celebrity gossip :)

 

Love you two!

Outside Obsession

J&H have been loving being outside enjoying the perfect weather.  We rush home every evening from work to get in a little playtime before dinner and bath.  Tonight J was ready to pass up dinner to continue playing, who would have thought!  They both head straight to the back door as soon as we get home.  We are soaking it up now because in a few months it will be so hot!

Jackson could spend hours (literally hours) getting in and out of his cars.  Sister has been playing in his red car so Jackson has resorted to the pink one.  Tough boys play with pink cars :)

 

And he has mastered climbing up his play set

 

 

Harper stays busy picking up every leaf and one by one setting it on her little bench

And when her leaves aren't lined up on her bench she is carrying them by the fistful down the slide

And while driving her car

 

The twins also like practicing their lawn mowing skills.  They will think the riding lawn mower is the easy way out!

 

If only our evenings were a little longer!  I miss these sweet faces all day long!

Family Picture Attempt

Yesterday I had a fabulous idea to try taking family pictures.  I was quickly reminded my idea was not so fabulous with two very active 15 month olds :)  Luckily Auntie Stephanie and Matt were our photographers so I wasn't shelling out hundreds of dollars.  All I wanted was one decent picture, I'm not asking for smiles, just a picture where all four of us are somewhat looking at the camera.

And luckily we got one!

The rest of the photo shoot went a little like this . . . J&H had tons of fun avoiding taking pictures

 

Jackson insisted on pushing the stroller all over the gardens

Harper picked and ate grass

Jackson played his trumpet.  Too bad we didn't bring a hat for people to throw money into

 

 

 

 

Harper got in her daily exercise running around the gardens

 

And Jackson styled in this mama's shades

 

 

And they both perfected looking anywhere and everywhere but the at the camera

 

And leave it to me to ruin this picture!

Good pictures or not, this little girl always deserves a kiss

 

 

 

 

 

After a "fun" photo shoot we were in need of an adult beverage and a patio!

 

J&H played a game of peek-a-boo with the restaurant

Fun day!  Thanks Aunt Steph, Matt and Aunt Amanda for hanging out with this crazy family!
