Kindergarten Shots

I took Carter into the doctor because he needed some shots before I could register him for kindergarten. I had him totally pumped up that he only needed 1 so when we got there and the nurse said he needed 4 we were pretty disappointed. Carter sat down and was quite the chatter box while she got them all ready. He started by telling her that he really only wanted 1. She didn't budge. She told him that he needed to get 4, but she would be really fast. He looked right at her and said, "Okay listen, I'll just take the 1 and then 1 more." She got to giggling because he was so serious. He didn't cry during the 1st one, but the 2nd he started crying. By numbers 3 and 4 he was just plain screaming.

After he got done and she put the band aids on he looked at her very seriously and asked, "Can you give my brother Taylor 5?" What a thoughtful thing to say. He is such a character! 

Happy Birthday Hunter and Ryker

While we were in St. George we thought it would be fun to have a birthday party for the twins. We had a lot of family there and it was so fun. We went over to Pirate Island and had a pizza party. Happy Birthday Babies!

This was the babies watching the pirates sing them a little birthday jig.

Hunter dug right into the cake. He loved it.

Ryker was a lot more timid and it took a long time for him to even want to touch it. Finally he got a little frosting.

Then he saw the toy and pulled it right off.

Then he cried, and cried, and cried that he "broke" his cake. He didn't even want to taste it after that. It is weird but other than sharing the same date of birth... their personalities are completely different.

Hunter loving the cake. Ryker crying about the cake!

Sweet little messy face!

The only way he would eat some frosting was off the spoon. Two very messy, happy little babies. Overall a great birthday. Happy Birthday babies. I can't believe it's been a year already.

Peek-A-Boo

I can't seem to keep the babies out of this food closet. The minute they get up they head right for it. They think it's hilarious to have one of them in it and then open it a little and peek out. It really is quite cute to watch. They get each other laughing so hard!

Catch-Up Time (Vegas Style)

We have done a lot of stuff trying to get to know this new town that we are living in. Julie has been on break so she gives us the motivation to get out of the house a little more. We started by taking the little boys to Hoover Dam. They are building this HUGE bridge so that was really cool to see. It's amazing that they can build stuff that big. 

Then we went to Lake Mead. The water was a little mirky, but it felt so good. It was warm like bath water. The babies LOVED it. They splashed and splashed... once we actually let them in the water!

Here is the group minus Julie who was taking the picture. Jessica and Justin were here celebrating with us. It was great to see some of the "little guys" although they really aren't too little anymore. My kids loved having them to play with and quickly made them a mii character for the wii.

Here's Julie with the three of my kids that look like they could actually be hers. They all love her so much!

Even mommy got her turn with the babies in the water. Such cute little stinks. They are growing up so fast.

Then we went to Tournament of Kings. It was SO much fun. I totally loved it and so did the big boys. The babies were pretty sleepy so they didn't appreciate it as much as the rest of us.

You will notice that in most of the pictures little Taylor is being held. That's because he is so NAUGHTY!!!

We went down to the arcade and blew through about $20 playing carnival games. What I learned through this experience is that I'm not very good at anything that you have to throw something, but I'm a pretty dang good fisher!

Before they served the food!

After- The food was actually decent. It came with a roasted hen, tomato soup, broccoli, french fries, a roll, and a pastry for dessert. It was good... and tons of fun with the entertainment.

Ryker thought he needed a little bite of Jenny's chicken! I think this was after he had already eaten all her french fries. Poor girl... she chose the wrong partner. ;)

Outside the Excalibur. Thanks family for a great time!

Home in Vegas

Here are a bunch of pictures of the house we are living in. We LOVE it! It has so much more space. The babies love it because they can pretty much crawl all over the house now! The LOVE the stairs, unfortunately the stairs are a little cruel to the babies. The have fallen down several times and when one falls down he rolls and knocks the other baby down the stairs too. Don't worry though! Julie brought over a baby gate and it's working great!

This is the living room. Rhett spends more time in here then I do. Him and Carter love playing the wii together. Carter is actually quite good at the sports and brags that he can beat me every time. He thinks it's funny that it doesn't even matter which game he picks. 

 

Here is the dining room. I love being able to sit with the family and have a great dinner together. Now if I just learned how to cook! ;)

The downstairs bathroom.

Rhett's dirty office! He has been at COT, officer's training, and hasn't got a chance to get it all finished up yet.

We have very few pictures hanging up, but here is one that I bought for Rhett to put up in his office. It reminded me SO much of him I had to have it!

The garage is a great storage place since it doesn't even come close to fitting the tank. We did put the treadmill out there and it's nice to be able to run without kids bugging you, although I have only used it once so far. When it cools off a little I plan to get my body back into shape! 

I LOVE the pantry. It holds all our food storage and has a FULL size washer and dryer. That alone has saved my hours already!

Here is the kitchen. It is so nice. I really want to learn how to use it. New Goal--- Learn how to cook!

The play room is where I spend most of my time. The big boys love it and evan like to help keep it clean. It helps that we made it easy to clean up by putting little toy organizers. All the toys are down here so I love that the bedrooms are only used for sleeping now so they stay clean as well!

The back yard is also a hit with the kids. If I am ever looking for Taylor I know I can find him outside, butt naked, playing in the dirt and pool!

He also loves the little playhouse now that we washed all the "piders" out of it!

The babies room turned out SO cute. It's a little african safari room. I love that they have their own room because they are on such a great schedule now and don't have big boys waking them up every time they go down for a nap!

The kids fish bathroom!

Carter and Taylor's X-men/monkey room. Taylor's loves the monkeys and will tell you the the two little white one's are the babies and the red one is him because they have the same hair. Carter is the yellow hair one. He loves that they sleep with him. Carter wants them out of his X-men room.

Wolverine Rocks! At least in this bedroom he does!

The master bedroom is huge!

I love the big soaker tub!

The great big patio off the master bedroom. It has the best view. Me and Rhett love to go out on the swing and see the strip and all the city lights! It is so relaxing!

The backyard that isn't covered.

The "dreaded" stairs. I think if you look closely you can see all the babies blood from all the spills they've had! j/k.

Anyway, this is our house for the next year. Rhett and I both love it and our only regret is that we aren't buying it.
