Swingtime

Our boys like action! They love to explore and look for trouble no matter where they are.... they just need a little action all the time. We took them to the park today to swing and they loved it. The weather has been so nice lately, we have been trying to go for wagon walks and get in some fun fresh air too. Branson and Holden just light up and calm down when they are outdoors. Here are some pictures to show you their happy smiles. Branson was shaking his entire body while on the swings, laughing and loving every minute of it. It was hilarious!

Photos of our boys!

It was a beautiful day and our friend Leslie Kirk took some cute photos of our boys the other day. Here are just a few. She has a great photo gallery out on www.lesliekirkphotography.com you can check out.
We recently took our first vacation since the boys were born and had a great time. They boys got a good report from Grandpa and Susie and had a nice little vacation themselves out on the farm. We had a fun time while were were gone, but it was good to get back to see them. It was just enough time for a nice little relaxing break. I think they grew while we were away!

"One Adam Twelve, One Adam Twelve"

We have a man down... sorry for the delay in posting anything lately, but my back has been out. Not just out, I mean OUT! The dynamic duo has put a hurtin' on my already feeble and failing back. It's slowly feeling a bit better. But enough about me as I am sure you want to hear the latest and greatest about our fun little boys. Notice I say boys and not babies... they are getting so big and boyish! They are babbling all the time and are fast as lightening. No walkers yet; a few unassisted steps from Holden a few days ago but that's it. They like to use the toy walker to walk with and ram into the walls and chairs cursing in baby talk when it gets stuck. It's funny to see them go from one extreme to the other when that happens! We had a happy Easter and hope you all did too. Here are a few shots of them from Easter Sunday.

3 More Days Until 11 Months Old

Branson and Holden will be 11 months old on March 24th. One more month and it will be a year.... we can hardly believe how the time has flown by! Wow! They are looking more and more like little boys and less like little babies. Here are a couple of pictures I took last week; they tried spaghetti for the first time. Holden really liked the noodles and Branson was less than impressed.

water babies

Both Branson and Holden love the water. We have taken them swimming a couple of times to the indoor pool at the YMCA and they really love it. Here is a cute picture of Holden taking a bubble bath and having a conversation with Officer Duck. We can't wait for summer time!

Put on my my my my boogie shoes... and boogie with you

Branson likes to dance. Holden does too and will sway back and forth with some music (his favorite thing is to jump up and down a lot), but Branson really likes to shake his money maker!

Where to begin?

Branson and Holden are such fun guys... how did we get so darn lucky?! They cheese it up all the time and have the best sense of humors for being such little guys. They are doing more these days, let me see if I can think of some new stuff - hmmm: Waiving good bye or hello (sometimes they waive backwards, but are getting better at it every day), babbling and using more and different sounds (mamama, dadada, babytalk, etc.), going to get the ball when I say "go get your ball", trying to pick baby safety locks, etc. .... you know the usual. They aren't walking yet, all but walking. I've seen Holden stand up for a few seconds without holding on to anything, and Branson is taking more and more steps while holding on to one thing and then going to another. It's fun to watch them improve each day!
