Alexis is 7!

I can't even believe that are sweet Lexis is 7. I am coming to terms with the fact that our little girl is growing up.
I can not possibly say enough good things about this angel. I don't do it in a boastful manner, just in a way that I will remember this wonderful age.
She has almost completed 1st grade. This has been a great school year for her and she has completely thrived. She is so intelligent. She always comes home with great grades and has been reading up a storm. That child has read so many books this year I can't even count. She reads so wonderful and completely comprehends everything she reads. She has been in 1st grade singers and loved every minute. She doesn't really have many shy bones. She loves Jesus and loves to be with her church friends. Alexis loves almost everyone she meets. She especially loves all her time with all of her grandparents and she is by far the best big sister the world has ever known. She has endured ALOT of changes this past year. She was once an only child now the big sister to 2 little girls. I would say she took it like a champ, she never complains about all the time mom and dad have to devote to the girls. She joins in with us or entertains herself. She is a great girl and I just can't say that enough.

Lex we love you so much and are so proud of the young lady you are becoming!

6 months old..

Wow, I am behind on this blog. It's been too long. I told Jon and Lex my goal is to blog at least once a week if not more, starting today.

Our sweet twins are 6 months old. Amazing, seriously amazing how fast time flies. Gosh we love these little ladies so so much! I want to look back and remember what they were doing at 6 months so here goes.
Both girls have their very own unique personality. Ava is more relaxed and Livi is more wild, but both equally fun. Ava is weighing about 11 lbs and 10 ounces and Livi is about 11 lbs. We are so proud of our babies weight considering we started at 2 and 3 lbs. They are both starting to really get mobile. They love to roll and be on their bellies. Just this past week they have decided they can grab everything and put it in their mouth, including their feet and by that I mean they grab each others as well. Haha, it's so cute to watch. They are wanting to crawl and I think in the next month or two they will. They both love to jump in the jumperoo and play in the exersaucer. They enjoy bouncy time while watching Dora or Little Einsteins. We have just recently gotten into some good solids. They are liking pears, bananas and sweet potatoes right now. We tried peas and they hated. They weren't big fans of cereal either. They eat 5 bottles a day and go to bed b/w 730 and 8 and sleep pretty well. Some  nights they slept until their morning bottle at 630 and then back to bed until 930. Some nights they each wake up once to eat. Daddy stays home with them and does an amazing job. Let's just say taking care of two babies they need to be eating and doing everything at the same time everyday is a challenge, but he loves it and is amazing with these girls. He has more patience than any person I know which is exactly what a stay at home parent of twins needs. He never seems to get frustrated, he just loves and nurtures our babies! We have not yet taken the babies to church. I know many people think we are crazy b/c we have waited so long but just haven't been ready. I mean the first month of their life we had to scrub in and buzz someone and have permission to see our children. Makes it hard for us as parents to immediately just put them in a nursery after what we went through. However, we are slowly getting there. We have taken them to a few stores but they have been in car seats when we do that.

Ava and Olivia you have brought so much joy to our lives and we thank God for you daily!
