Pool time

Mommy is working the weekend at the hospital, this is her first one back, and her last! So Daddy has the boys this weekend! Their Saturday was a blast!! Daddy took them by himself to K-Mart, Wal-Mart, Kroger and out to eat Mexican! Wow!!! If only Mommy could have been a fly on the wall!! ha! The result of the shopping is a small pool and memory foam for the boys beds!!! Mommy couldn't believe it when she came home. The boys seem to love the pool! Daddy said they also enjoyed a cheese quesadilla! Joseph told Mommy that the nice mexican guy at lunch was big help! Oh my, Mommy is having chest pain! ha! Needless to say, Daddy's are more fun!!! Happy Father's Day!!

Daddy and Joseph

Blueberries on the Farm

Joseph LOVES blueberries!! He believes there are three food groups: blueberries, O's, and peas! So when Grandma Holmes called and said she had blueberries to pick at the farm, off we went! ( and Mommy was happy because these are truly organic!) The boys had so much fun, it was so neat seeing them realize that the blueberries were coming off the bush!

So cute!!

Seeing double!

This picture is amazing! In the picture are three sets of twins at our house!! ( Daddy isn't even included!!) Below is Brooke and Riley, Johnathan and Joseph , and Ashley and Heather! Ashley and Heather are Aunt Tina's twins and Brooke and Riley are their bestfriends! These two little boys are lucky to have these beautiful girls to ooh and awe over them! I just wish I had the four of them around all the time! ha!

Just a swinging.....

The boys are enjoying their birthday presents......the swings are so much fun! "Aunt Tina" gave these to the boys and they love them! Their laughter is adorable! The boys are so grown up. Each of them follow us room to room, and call "MaMa," when in need! I must say Joseph is a true Daddy's boy. No one else matters to him if his Daddy is home! They go up and down a step to get in their playroom and get into something new every day. They walk everywhere holding your hand, and are gaining confidence to stand alone! Johnathan points at every new thing, and Joseph's row of bottom teeth are so cute!

Louisiana!

I flew into New Orleans yesterday!! I am here for the weekend for Tanya's bridal shower! Daddy has the boys, and Grandma Holmes is also staying the weekend at our house to help Daddy since he is on-call. I will be back home Sunday afternoon!

More birthday pictures!

So, after my long dictation on the latest in our lives, with no pictures--- we now have more pictures!! These are a few more of their birthday last week with family. The boys are my angels!

Sweet baby Joseph with cake on his face! Daddy and boys opening presents!
The boys enjoyed the paper the most!
Grandpa Holmes and their Radio Flyer wagon!
P.S. Yes, dear neighbors today we were all out in the yard at 7:00 AM in this wagon! The boys were fussy and the outside was what made them happy! So Daddy, Mommy and twins were walking the driveway! The boys are on the move, and idependant play in the living room only lasts moments now!

Before digital pictures

I am sorry to inform everyone that I am still not able to upload pictures!! There is a problem with the "address" when I attempt to blog pictures! It is so funny, because not long ago it wasnt even possible to visualize daily pictures via the internet.....we are so spoiled. But I must say this problem saddens me too!
However I can still publish text......we are all doing fine. I think that the severe pregnancy morning ( all day ) sickness has passed, and the boys runny noses are better. This makes for a much happier family. Anthony and I couldnt stand it any longer and last week he performed his first ultrasound here at home of Baby #3. The baby is very active, much like Joseph was in the womb. I still visualize a third little boy, and Anthony likes to think about a little girl! We will be extremely happy with either!
Johnathan and Joseph are big boys now and experiencing many firsts!!! Johnathan has moved upstairs to his own room! He is UPSTAIRS and separated from his brother for the first time since we came home. Johnathan is doing very well and sleeping better in his big boy room. I know this first hand because I sneak in and sleep in a single bed in the same room until daylight!! Next week I will join Anthony back downstairs!
Another first, I have weaned both boys! Ugh, ouch, yikes! No more breastfeeding as of this week. We are moving on to sippy cups, and a few comfort bottles in the morning and evening!
Also, Joseph and Johnathan went to the nursery at church for the first time this morning. We have kept them in the main service with us until today. Anthony and I worked in the nursery today, so it was a perfect time to introduce them to that setting. They have not been to daycare or nursery before, so this was another first! We all did great! Even "Aunt" Tina stayed with us in the nursery! The boys are so blessed!
Next weekend I will fly to Louisiana for Tanya's bridal shower!! This is the first time I will leave Anthony and the boys behind! My Mom will be here also because Anthony is oncall next weekend! I will miss the boys, but I truly am ready for a break with some much needed girl time. It has been a wild year!
I will keep you updated and eagerly await the solution to my inability to blog pictures!
