A Video you have to watch....too funny!

These past few months......

It feels like it's been forever since I last updated.  The girls are still growing and changing every day.  Caitlin is enjoying gymnastics now; she loves to swing from the rings and jump on the trampoline.  Chloe is almost sitting up on her own now.  She was in the 100% for height and 75% for weight at her 4 month appointment; I can't believe she'll be 5 months old on Wednesday!

Uncle Jim, Auntie Gina, Chad, Jessica and their two sons Owen and Henry came to visit from California a little over a week ago.  They all stayed at Cici and Bears house and the home was constantly filled with sounds of joy and laughter....whether it was the babies or the adults!  We had a wonderful time and were sad to see everybody go.  

Here are pictures of the past couple of months.......

I can't believe out of all the pictures we got of this week, we only got one of Cici and Bear with everybody (below).  Probably because they were busy cooking, cleaning and hosting the entire time.  Thank you Cici and Bear for EVERYTHING you did to make this such a special and memorable time.  We love you!



The Group out for Sushi!!
Uncle Jim (Tom's Dad John's brother) came to visit us a few weeks ago.  He rode his motorcycle all the way from Laramie, WY.  Caitlin called him "Big Jim" since Tom's brother's name is Jim as well.  The girls both enjoyed his company very much.  Caitlin enjoyed showing ALL of her toys to him as Chloe enjoyed sleeping in his big comfy arms.  We loved your visit Big Jim and hope to see you again soon!!

The latest and greatest....

Hello again!  Well, again it feels like so much has gone on since the last time I updated the site.  Here's the latest and greatest!  We had a fabulous Fourth of July.  We kept it simple and stayed at the house and BBQ'd.  My friend Hilary came over to join us and she took some wonderful pictures of the girls.  Caitlin stayed up past her bedtime to watch the personal firework show that Tom put on for her, unfortunately it scared the heck out of her.  She did like the sparklers though.  Chloe of course slept through the whole thing.  

Chloe turned 3 months old a couple weeks ago.  She was in the 90% for height 55% for weight.  Caitlin is turning 19 months old in a few days.  At her 18 month appointment she was in the 50% for height and 25% for weight.  All in all the Dr. said they are both looking fabulous. :)    Caitlin graduated from her crib to her Big Girl Toddler Bed.  She is so excited!  At first we had no issues with it.  She would go right to sleep and when she woke up she would play in her bed just like she did when it was a crib.  Now that she realizes she can come and go as she pleases it's a totally different story.  I'm now fighting the battle to get her to take her naps, but hopefully the newness will wear off and she'll be back to her normal schedule in no time.

Father's Day was wonderful.  We had Cici and Bear, Popi, Aunt Madison and Uncle Austin over for a big dinner.  The day was full of lots of smiles and laughter. :)

That's about it for now.  I hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July!!

Fourth of July!!!
