July 27, 2007 the Twinkeys were one week old. These are the pics I took of them, as they rested peacefully in a shared crib, sleeping 18+ hours/day, and drifted back to dreamland with tummies full of formula... Those peaceful Twinkeys turned ONE YEAR OLD on July 20th. We held their party July 27th, 2008. They're still phenomenal sleepers, 12 hours at night plus a couple naps during the day.

It's great to see you all. And it's been waaaaay too long. No, I haven't been sick, no one in my fam is dying (that we know of! Please hold while I go knock on wood!), we didn't take a luxurious vacation to a tropical island (which we all know I TOTALLY deserve...hehe), or even a short trip cross-country. Lightning didn't strike our cable lines, and I've been paying the bill (I swear!). I've

My Lil' SpiderMonkey...putting the moves on before age 2! Notice she didn't have a chance of getting away...he was stepping on her toe! He must've learned that from his Daddy! :o)

We spent the morning at the park and the monkeys helped KingKong do dishes and vacuum as I was being lazy on the couch otherwise occupied. MonkeyButt has decided he'd like to have a Nintendo DS. Sometime today, while I was snoring busy, he and KingKong decided to discuss setting up an allowance system. Heh. CuriousGeorge was on board. Those monkeys did NOT lift a finger today without checking

That's how many pictures are saved on my Adobe Photoshop. 6,828. I'd like to tell you that's since MonkeyButt was born 7.5 years ago, but it's not. The 6,828 photos have been uploaded since the day the Twinkeys were born in July. Whoa. I just uploaded a couple one minute videos of the Twinkeys and a warning came up that said low disk space. 86.1 MB available on a 55 GB hard drive. I don't think

If you know what I mean. I'm okay. I've discovered/cleared up my feelings yesterday and still feel it's best for our family to wait a bit, but I can now say that if I had an oopsie, I wouldn't panic. TMI, sorry. :op

After T-ball the other night, we took the Monkeys to Arby's cause we wanted fast food, but we wanted something a little different (read: less nugget-shaped). $28.46 later, our bellies were full. *sigh* Until, KingKong remembered the sign on the window for Chocolate Turnovers. He took SpiderMonkey to the car while CuriousGeorge, MonkeyButt and I ordered four. One for me, one for KingKong,

Or should I have typed Person Who Prays. It's just not something I do on an every day, every week, or even every month basis. Maybe I should be, I don't know. There's probably a lot of things I should do. Like go to church. Oooh, or clean my house more and swear less. But, I don't. I cannot claim to be any one particular religion, although people ask us all the time if we're Catholic or Mormon.

Let's face it, I'm never going to be a woman who has time enough in the day to do scrapbooking. MAYBE I could handle a little time each day once the Twinkeys (and any potential future siblings) graduate high school. And that's a BIG maybe, because I could just be in a padded room by then, and probably won't be allowed near sharp objects, like scissors. So, for now, this is my scrapbook. I think

I've been picking up the big Monkeys after school and we've been strolling around town. It's our new thing. They've really enjoyed it. Although, I keep reminding them that the further we get from the car, we still have to walk ALL the way back. They've done great! The Twinkeys even fall asleep in the stroller eventually, which is something SpiderMonkey has never done...still doesn't. *sigh* I

Megan posted her Peanut's first haircut and I was reminded of these pics I took of MonkeyDo's first haircut at 8 months. He was getting pretty shaggy!

More pics from the slacker mom who never posts them... Spring golf in winter jackets on brown grass. These boys are hard core ;o) This can't be good. Are they going after the same ball? It wasn't freeeeeeezing cold in the 30's so we allowed SpiderMonkey to play, too. But, this is what he does .every.time. Heads right up the driveway for the road. 'Cause he wants to play with the lifesize big

Remember when MonkeyButt and CuriousGeorge went with MonkeyNana & MonkeyPapa to Montreal to see their MonkeyUncle & MonkeyAunt (my sis) at their Monster Jam show in Montreal? Well, I'm just now uploading pics. Lame, I'm aware. But here you go. Left, MonkeyUncle signs autographs in front of the Monster Truck during the pit party before the show. My Monkeys have the orange earmuffs on.

I was sitting here and MonkeySee just went from the crawling (though he doesn't really crawl) position to sitting up. And now, he's still sitting up. Sorry. This is big for us, and I just happened to be getting ready to read blogs. MonkeySee's always been the "lazy" one (much like me at that age, from what I hear...and probably now, too. Heh). Just content to lay around and smile his contagious

Thank you to everyone for your kind words and well wishes for SpiderMonkey's ultrasound today. The Cardiologist said his heart is Normal. YAY! The way he explained it is that a heart murmur is not a diagnosis, it's a symptom. Like a fever is a symptom, say of an earache perhaps. And it's his job to determine if SpiderMonkey's murmur is a symptom of a heart defect or not. And it's not. Woohoo!

I've been trying to keep things light around here lately. Not letting on that I'm kinda freaking out a little. The busy-ness of being a mom is starting to kick in with Tball three nights a week and doctor and dentist appointments peppered in between. Of course, you might've seen this. We have a consult with a neurologist at the end of May. Plus, last week at SpiderMonkey and CuriousGeorge's

KingKong had let the dogs (Jack & Kessie) in from the rain. CuriousGeorge: "Dad, Kessie smells like raccoon spray again."

At the end of the post, the player tags 5 people and posts their name, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they've been tagged and asking them to read your blog.

Since CuriousGeorge conquered trusting the life jacket, he's gotten a little braver. Just yesterday, he decided--finally--to ditch the training wheels. KingKong wrenched them off and showed him how to push off while MonkeyButt and I cheered him on. Well, CuriousGeorge is a funny little one. Quite opinionated at times, and he likes what.he.likes. So, on his second pass down the driveway, I held

CuriousGeorge has issues. Well, one issue in particular. He doesn't touch "it" when he's peeing. Frankly, he doesn't really have to. ;o) He just pulls his pants down far enough using one thumb, does a jiggle of one knee and is on his way. But, in the morning, when the 'ole morning wood pops up (ha!), the issue becomes mine. He starts the stream and then does this weird leaning back with his butt

Well, MonkeyButt and CuriousGeorge are home. They returned laaaaaaate Sunday night and were not thrilled so happy to return to school the next morning. I'm still awaiting pics from the Nana... I think it might actually reach 51 degrees here today. Woohoo. Our date night Saturday was fun...sort of.
