18 MONTHS

The girls have reached the 18 month mark! And they are full time walking! I have no idea how much they weigh and all that jazz, but I do know they are little healthy girls.
I decided since we use anything to get together in the summer we decided to have a pool party with everyone out here.  Lots of fun, cupcakes and sun! What more could you want.

The girls are growing together and individually and I see each of their personalities shining.
Jaci is my little talker.  Dani is my little do-er.
Dani loves to play, she constantly pesters Jaci and the majority of the time they end up in a scream match, but a few times a day I do get to enjoy the giggling of sisters (which there is no sound quiet as enticing to a mom)...  Jaci is still a mommy's girl and Dani is dads best friend....
They are the biggest copy cats around, if one pours out her water, the other does.  If one touches mom with greasy pizza hands the other does, one throws their food on the floor the other mimmicks, etc.  Sometimes it can be quite funny how much they notice what each other does.

I don't know if when I am out in public  a day goes by that I don't get asked how I tell them apart.  The true answer is that they look TOTALLY different to me.  Yes, I do see that they are very identical, but I guess there's no explaining it except that they are different kids.  What I tell people is that Jaci is about a lb. heavier and about 2 weeks ago a little birthmark showed up on Dani's hand and Jaci has one on her leg.  So i guess if I ever get confused I always have that to fall back on.
Happy 18 months Dani and Jaci!!!!

Happy 4th of July

Happy 4th of July! We celebrated ours with a barbecue and baseball game (as you can see the girls didn't last to long at the game) But all in all we still loved the holiday.
Things in Texas are going great.
We're still spending a lot of time and the pool, where the kids play and the wives talk.
The girls LOVE their daddy and wish he were around all the time.
They are FINALLY walking more and more each day. I know you might think I'm crazy, but I am SICK of carrying around 2 KIDS! I can't wait until they walk....
HOpe everyone is as happy as we are

Still KICKin

Yes we are still alive!  after the rollercoaster ride of this month....  Things have been crazy to put it mild...  WE have spent a lot of time traveling ( nearly 3,000 miles of driving in 4 weeks agh!) . WE started out the summer in Montana, then spent a while in Utah and now we are living in TEXAS. . . the summer of sales... But we are settled and happy.
Luckily we have a pool so we spend a lot of time there, and doing whatever else you do with 1 year olds to keep them happy.
The girls are 17 months and still not walking! But soon enough, they finally like to hold my hands while I walk.  They love sitting up high, on beds, chairs, couches etc.  As you can see in 1 picture they fight all the time.  Dani really doesn't like when jaci has something that she wants.  But despite the fighting no one can make them laugh as hard as eachother.  My favorite times are when I'm in another room and just sit and listen to them giggling.  They play peek-a-boo, poke each other in the eyes, mouths, tackle eachother and just laugh...
Here are a few pictures of our latest and greatest.. enjoy

Spring Pics

We got some spring pics taken, and I kinda combined it with the girls late 1 yr old pictures.

We had a second birthday party for the twins and they were hilarious! AS you can see they dove right into their cakes... Everybody was sitting watching and laughing and I think they adored all the attention!
Dane and I were so lucky and got to go to the bahamas kidless! (my sweet mom took the girls! thank you so muCh!) I seriously loved it! We were with a lot of friends, so that made it even better. I was so nervous to leave the girls (yes i cried) but once I was gone, i was just fine. Maybe thats bad to say, but I knew they were in good hands, and being taken care of by my mom and sister.
So dane and i relaxed, slept, layed in the sun, and played played played. I am already planning my next trip... (MOM????) so to any of you who don;t think you can handle leaving your kids, i seriously suggest trying, it reminds ya why ya love your husband ha ha...
