Myrtle Beach

We enjoyed some time on the beach the last few days and a super long walk to the pier. It has been windy here all week so jackets are a must!








The view from our room. I could get used to waking up seeing this every single day!


Jayden built a sand castle today and smashed it briefly after.





Jayden ran down the pier today!

Out and About

While Aaron and the rest of the crew enjoyed a round of golf, the kids and I headed out.


We stopped off for some outdoor shopping. Jayden loved the Disney outlet and found some Cars bath toys.


We stopped by Krispy Kreme and grabbed a snack too. Yum!!



It was a beautiful day!!

We made it!

We made it to the beach!!


The girls didn't know what to think of the sand.



Jayden had fun running on the sand. Shortly after he got scared of the ocean. He thought it was going "get him".




We settled in our condo and had a good first night!

Road Trip!

We headed off on an adventure today! Every extra nook and cranny of the van was packed full of our stuff. We managed to fit a set of golf clubs, one giant suitcase, two pack n plays, one beach umbrella, a double stroller, two portable high chair seats, snacks galore, a backpack cooler and three extra bags of "stuff". Oh yeah and three kids with giant car seats and plenty of room for us.


We braved the 18.5" of snow and headed out. We decided if we got stuck in the driveway we were not going. But we made it! The roads improved as we went south.

We stopped at a play land McDonald's about and hour an a half into our trip and let the kids play, play, play. Then they fell asleep!


We drove all the way through Nashville, TN without stopping!



Pajamas are on. Bottles are warmed. Two babies are already fast asleep. Big brother has his headphones on and is watching old school cartoons.

Hope to stop in a few hours and get some sleep!!

Look for pictures of the ocean tomorrow!!!

Adalyn & Amelia 14 Months Old

So, my monthly posting took a vacation for month 12 and 13 because I didn't have an opportunity to get on the computer and write! Looking back, I think I skipped Jayden's 13 month stats too.

 

Happy 14th month birthday, sweet babies!!

 

1. Adalyn weighs around 18 pounds and Amelia is 17 pounds. We had their weight checked on Valentine's Day and 10 days after when we were at the doctor's office for ear infections. Cross your fingers for no more ear infections!! It is miserable for them and for anyone around!

2. Both girls are wearing size 3 diapers, 12 month clothes, size 4 shoes. They do have size 18 month spring jammies that are perfect.

3. These wild girls walk EVERYWHERE, climb on EVERYTHING. You just cannot stop them!

4. They love their brother, have taken an extra special liking to their daddy, love their mommy and recently cried when their babysitter left. Jayden is in charge of part of their bedtime routine by plugging their fan in and he tells them goodnight.

5.They are going great with whole milk and enjoy 8 oz. right when they wake up, midday and before bed. They love, love, love V8 juice and most of the food we give them.

6. Both girls still have two bottom teeth--the same ones.

7. Amelia love the bath more than any baby I know. Adalyn likes it but always has to be the first one out!

8. Words are coming along! They babble to each other, to us and to themselves. They like to wave bye, bye and blow kisses.

9. Sleep is great. They go to bed at 7 and wake up at 6:40-7:00 each morning. They take nice naps during the day and don't have many tears when it is nap time.

10. Happy 14 month birthday sweet babies. You are such a joy to our family. We love you!!

 

 

 

Sledding!

I am not sure why the snow waited to come in February. I would have really enjoyed it a lot more in December. The last week in February isn't really the best time.

 

But, because it was here. We enjoyed it.

 

 We carefully tied the sled to the back of the 4-wheeler, gave safety instructions and had a blast!

 We put the babies down for a morning nap and out the door we went!

 

Although it was a lot of fun and really pretty, we are ready for spring!!!

Fun in the Snow!

 

We enjoyed some snow over our extra long weekend!

 

Jayden was so excited to have a day in the snow!

The twins were not as thrilled!
