Easter 2013

So it's pretty obvious I have a lot to catch up on! In order to get caught up, I'm going to work my way back to the beginning of the year to catch up on my blog. So much for achieving my New Years resolution...ha ha!! The girls have changed so much in the last 3 months and I want to try and document it as best I can for memories.
Jeremy and I were lucky enough to have Good Friday off. Friday morning the girls and I went to visit our sweet friend Misty. This was their first time to meet Misty's daughter, Maya. While we were away, Jeremy and my mom went to pick up my grandma at the Tx boarder. We were so glad to have her down to visit over Easter weekend.
Saturday we hung out around the house, then went to an Easter egg hunt at a local church. The girls were too young to hunt eggs, so we enjoyed the petting zoo and baby bounce house.








The girls loved people watching and checking exploring all the sights and sounds.
Sunday morning we woke up bright and early for church. Before church the girls discovered the Easter bunny came to visit.




They got a set of play golf clubs, swimming suit, sippy cup, snack cup, and a Build a Bear chick from their Mamie. They were pretty excited!!
















It was a fun and memorable Easter! I'm sure next year will be much more exciting because the girls will understand the reason for the season.
Whew...hope to be back shortly to post about St. Patrick's day.

Happy Birthday!

A year ago today these two angels came into my life and made me a mommy.



This had truly been the best year of my life. I cannot even remember what life was like before they were born. At 4:56 (the time they were born) tonight I took their picture.




Doesn't Harper look oh so happy?!?! She came into the world screaming and she was screaming one year later at get birth time. And for those of you wondering, they were born the same minute just 20 seconds apart.




Wish I could freeze time and keep them 1 forever. I absolutely LOVE this age. Their little personalities are hysterical and blossom more everyday!!



After their party this weekend, I will get this blog updated.

Have a great week!

Kelly's Korner: Smocked Swap

Today I'm linking up with Kelly's Korner to try and sell these two adorable long bubbles. I bought them for my girls, thinking they could wear them for their birthday. Well little did I know, that my girls would be this TINY at 11 months old. I'm so sad they cannot fit in them for their birthday.

So here is the down and dirty. Both are size 12 months and brand new!! Still have the tags on them. They were made by The Smockling. I am asking $25 shipped for each.





Please email me at heidikendle@yahoo.com if you are interested.

Goals for the New Year

Well I'm almost a week late posting this, but who cares...right?!?! So last year I only set one goal for the year, and that was to SURVIVE! I had no idea what I was about to go through having newborn twins. Well we have almost survived their first year of life. I must say it wasn't as bad as I anticipated. Definitely some stressful moments, but nothing we couldn't work through.

This year I decided to set monthly goals in lieu of yearly goals. So at the end of each month I will post them here. I have to do this to keep myself on track. So here are my goals for January...
*Plan the girls birthday party.
*Reorganize the master closet.
*Start training for the Rock 'n Roll half marathon.
*Come up with an organized meal plan for my family.
*Blog two days a week.
*Pick up my house nightly. Yep I'm guilty for going to bed with a messy house.

So far I'm right on track. Been cleaning and organizing like crazy.


Started training for a half marathon today!



Hope you and your family have an awesome year!!!

These Shoes Are Made for Walking

Well the girls are getting closer and closer to walking everyday. For Christmas Jeremy'a Mema and Papa gave the girls some money to get some good shoes. So yesterday we ventured to Stride Rite to find the perfect shoe. I have to say I was disappointed they didn't have hardly any neutral shoe options. So we went with a simple black Mary Jane style shoe. They look adorable on the girls!



Can't you tell they wanted to pose for a picture....ha ha!!



Harper testing out her new kicks. Avery wasn't too sure about walking in them. She just wanted to sit down and explore them.

New Playroom

After Christmas, Jeremy and I quickly realized we no longer had any room for the girls toys in the living room. Here is the proof...









It was literally a parking lot of toys. What bothered me the most is that the girls didn't have much room to play.

So we transformed our only guest bedroom into a playroom.






They seem to play with more of their toys now because they can actually see them. I feel bad that our guests will now have to sleep on air mattresses, but we want to make this house work for 3 to 4 more years.

The girls love playing in their new room. They crawl in their a lot on their own. Now I have my living room back!

Christmas in Tulsa 2012

Christmas Eve we arrived in Tulsa and had dinner with Jeremy's family. Then we woke up bright and early Christmas morning! The girls did not sleep too well, due to being in a different environment. Also, they both came down with a nasty stomach bug.
















Birthday cake for baby Jesus.




Singing Happy Birthday to baby Jesus! Hope to keep this new tradition going for many years to come.

We stayed for a couple of days in Tulsa visiting my family and Jeremy's. On the ride home poor Avery threw up twice. We were all happy to be home!! I don't think we will be traveling anytime soon.







That concludes Christmas 2012. I feel so blessed that I have two little miracle babies to experience this joyous holiday with. So blessed!
