Sickies

Whew....it has been a crazy week in our house. Harper woke up Monday morning with one eye swollen shut.



Took her to the doctor after work and she was in the beginning stages of pink eye. Luckily we caught it just in time. Also, we have been fortunate that it hasn't spread to Avery (knock on wood).

Tuesday she ran a low grade fever. By Wednesday night/Thursday morning it shot up to 103. So glad my mom was here to help me out this week, since Jeremy had to travel for work. Thursday I stayed home with the girls and she finally started to feel much better...woo hoo!!





She was still needing lots of loving though. I'll take that any day, sick or not.



I don't like seeing my sweet babies sick, but I guess it's just part of growing up. Hoping next week we are free of sickies and can just have some fun!!

Dallas Rock and Roll Half Marathon

Many moons ago, while on bed rest, I made my one and only postpartum goal...run my fourth half marathon. Since January I have been training hard and waking up at 4:30 in the morning to get my training runs in. The day before the race we headed down to downtown Dallas for the expo. The girls people watching!



Especially rocking out with their daddy! Don't they look thrilled...ha ha!!


This half was by far my hardest!! Running after having children is so much harder than it was before. My goal was just to finish, I didn't care about my time. It was definitely my worst time, 2 hours 30 minutes, but I don't care at all.


After bed rest, giving birth to twins, and surviving thyroid cancer...I'll take anything I can get. So thankful I'm healthy enough to complete a half!! Now I'm ready to train for another one. Definitely have running fever again!!!

Dreaming of Pool Days

Summer is my second favorite season, next to Spring! We are hearing up for summer and ready to plan some pool days with our sweet friends. Last week I took the girls swimsuit shopping. Harper decided she wanted to model her new suit.



Of course every little girl needs a sun hat. Mamie was kind enough to buy them each one.




Avery is thrilled to have another accessory to wear...lol!!

After I bought their swimsuits I took them to get monogrammed. Jeremy just rolled his eyes because he didn't think it was necessary. Oh well it happen anyway!



Too cute...right?!?! Alright summer you can come anytime now!

All about the accessories

Avery's newest love is accessories. She started using her Easter basket like a purse and picking up little treasures around the house to carry. Needless to say, their Easter baskets got a lot of good use this year!




For Easter Mamie (my mom) and Gigi ( my grandma) bought the girls each a purse. Now they each have two adorable purses! They have been put to good use the last couple of days.

A couple of weeks ago we went to a birthday party. The party favors had sunglasses in them. The girls absolutely love them!






The lenses only lasted a day, then Avery decided they were no longer necessary so she poked them out.


These pics just crack me up!!

St. Patrick's Day

On St. Patty's day we headed down to the Arboretum to meet some friends.




If you have never been to the Dallas Arboretum, it is a must see of you are ever in town. The tulips are gorgeous this time of year!!







The girls enjoyed strolling around and playing with their sweet friend Mia.




We bought a membership this year, so we plan on going back frequently.

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!
