Thank you Kristen!!!

Thanks to my good friend Kristen for keeping track of my lack of posting. We have been boringly busy around here....except for last week. We had our niece Brianna here from Alabama to help pick out some things to spruce up this house...she has fabulous taste unfortunately I do not have a fabulous budget! We did find an awesome sofa and some other things......and she gave me a slew of ideas. Turns out I am fairly tacky!
I had a baby shower for 2 of my coworkers Sunday.....our unit is plum full of pregnant ladies and husbands of pregnant ladies. Here is Edie and Ella having some fun in the leftover wrapping paper/tissue...
So before you call child protective services about these next pictures.....just know that Ella did not have any wine in her glass.

Sorry for the lack of updates...it is so busy around here and any time that something extra is thrown in (ie...an out of town visitor, baby shower, etc...) our routine falls apart and I don't have ANY extra time...next week we are heading to Alabama for a special party........can you believe it??? In 11, well 10 now, days our awesome blue eyed beauties will turn 1......baffling!!!

In her defense.....she was a little retarded!!!

It has been brought to my attention that I haven't posted anything since last week.....SORRY!!! It's just been a little boring around here. The rain.......man the rain! We haven't gotten out much and some days we didn't even change out of our pjs. (Notice the tiny toe peeking out of the big fat hole....we threw these pjs away that day even though I hated to because they were my favorite!)
Some days we ate M & Ms.............

But today......we went out. It was 65 and sunny, daddy was playing golf and we went SHOPPING!!! First we went to Costco....we like it there because the shopping carts hold 2...

Then we headed over to Marshall's for some sunglass modeling......now how on earth are you supposed to know if the glasses look good with that HUGE sensor right between your eyes???

Phew....all that shopping can wipe some girls out.......

We met T!W!O! brilliant people while we were out too........

In the parking lot of Costco a lady stopped while I was loading them into the basket and asked..."are those twins?"....I said "yes they are".....she said............BRACE YOURSELVES PEOPLE!!!!......... she said.... "are they both yours?" Now this one may top all others!!!

In Marshalls a lady said "oh how cute. twins!"......."a boy and a girl"........I said "no no they are both girls"........she said "hmm that's unusual isn't it?" .......I said "what do you mean".....because seriously what the hell could she mean right?..........she says....."because aren't most twins boy/girl?"...........

Rubi waiting for the judges to vote on her American Idol performance...she made it through to Doggywood........
Ella has taken quite nicely to whole milk in a sippy cup with breakfast........

..........and so has Rubi!

A little after breakfast fun!!!

snuggle time with daddy........

Edie is on the move.....she walks EVERYWHERE!!! She seems to love to just walk and walk and walk all around the house. She usually carries something when she walks.....ie....cordless or cell phone, toy crab, etc....it's pretty amazing......last week she started shuffling here and there...just a few steps at a time. Now she is walking way more than she crawls...and just as with everything else......she has places to go people!!!

Fun in the Town Green.......

E Squared and I went out for some fun in the sun today. We headed down to the Town Green here in Windsor, CA.....and had a nice afternoon. We started with lunch. We tried a new vietnamese place...new to us not the town! I *heart* Vietnamese food!!! And it turns out Edie and Ella are quite fond of it as well.........see for yourself.......
Not only is Ella fond of vietnamese cuisine......she is also a big fan of people watching...it was hard to get her to look at the camera...

Then we walked across the street to the park. I was disappointed that there were no "twin swings"....or any swings at all for that matter......what kind of park doesn't have a swing? Anyway..since they are waaaaayyyyy to small for the other park toys......we all plopped down in the bark.......they also did not have sand... but that turned out to be a good thing for two reasons. 1.) sand gets hot!

2.) sand would have been alot harder to dig out of a babies mouth than bark!

Here is Edie snacking on some bark....she would not keep her hat on......

nor did she want Ella to wear her hat....

but look how cute Ella looks in a hat......so sweet! Edie looks good too...not that I could ever get proof......since she won't keep the thing on......

What goes up......Must come down!!!

See Edie climb up!
See edie climb down!

huh? wha??

get down...get down...

phew.......I made it!

All together now.......

What's gonna work....teeeeeeeeam work!!!

Little Ella Grace...........loves her tongue.......

What do you get when you cross a purse without a zipper and a curious 10.5 month old munchkin??? EMBARASSED!!!! Yeah...that's right people! She got my "sanitary napkin"...in her mouth.....N!I!C!E!

Love ya Mommy!!!

Being the most awesomest mommy that I am I forgot to mention that beginning yesterday Edie has started taking steps........she took 3 yesterday!!! She has taken 2 or 3 steps several times so far today......SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooo...she will be even more mobile very shortly!

Ella says now read my lips........
Edie stopping for a sip of milk.......all this moving and curiosity can make a girl parched..........

Now lets see what's out back here.......

this chair is more comfortable upside down.....

I have no idea what the fascination in with the bathroom.....but they LOVE it in there......

looks like Ella has picked up her sisters "mouth holding" habit......she is fond of latex gloves though and Edie as you all know....loves her some socks!!!

little baby lulus.......my new favorite brand!!!

C!H!E!E!S!E!.........

look at those eyelashes........
