2 Year Check Up

The girls had another great day at school yesterday!  We are so happy with their school and teachers.  We have open house for them tomorrow night.  I can't believe we have made it to this point.  Anyway, I took the girls to their 2 year check up yesterday after school and here are their latest stats:

Allie
Weight  27.11 lbs (92%)
Height   36 in (56%)

Olivia
Weight  31.4 lbs (90%)
Height   36.5 in (96%)

The girls did great!  They LOVE their nurse and Dr. Adams.  He was so impressed with their vocabulary and how well they put sentences together.  I told him that he tells every mom that and he said, "No Anna.  I'm serious.  I cannot believe how well they talk and how advance they are."  That makes me feel great that they are ahead of the curve.

Below are a few pictures from the beach with my Dad, Lillian's Baptism, and the girls party from this summer.  Have a great day!!

Sweet Summer Time

I know, I know, I know.  I am so terrible for not posting.  All I can say is that it has been an AWESOME summer and a very busy hectic whirlwind memorable 2 months.  We have done so many things, been so many places, visited so many people, and had so many firsts.  This is without a doubt going to be my biggest post EVER on here.  So, here is our last two months.  Have a great week!

Lillian Claire at 5 months!
 July 7th, the girls 2nd birthday!!!!  We bought the girls a barbie jeep and threw them a party with a bouncy house.  It was a hit and we had a great turn out.  All of our family and friends with their kids came.  We had a great time and so did the girls.

Pop Daddy and Mimi bought the girls their birthday outfits and barbie fishing poles.

They LOVE these things!

Lillian Claire shed her clothes since it was 800 degrees outside

Getting all partied out

The girls had the most adorable pants that went with the top they had on, however, it was so hot outside we had to take them off.




After the birthday party.  Gandy and Olivia were exhausted
 We went to Destin with my Dad, sister, Kevin, Cousins, and Aunt and Uncle for an entire week (Friday to Thursday) and had a great time.  I don't have those pictures but will get them from my Dad and post soon.

We came back from Destin on Thursday and left Saturday to go to Panama City with Papa Bo, Gigi, Aunt Mal, and Uncle Timmy.We didn't even unpack.  I just did some laundry and we lived out of our suitcases for 2 weeks. We had a BLAST with this crew.  Lillian Claire and I stayed still Tuesday evening and came back to Dothan.  We left the twins in Panama City with Justin's parents until Saturday, when they were coming back with his parents.We celebrated Gigi's birthday.  We gave her a beach chair towel with her name on it and a family photo shoot with the entire family that we will do in the fall.  She LOVED it!!  The girls and grandparents came back Saturday and Justin and I left all of the kiddos with his parents from Saturday until Tuesday so that we could have a mini beach trip to ourselves.  We went to Biloxi to see my Mom, Step Dad, sister, and Kevin.  We had a great time on the boat and being with everyone.





Papa Bo, Mommy, and all 3 girls squeezed into the caboose at Pier Park.











Lillian Claire makes me smile


Lillian Claire at 6 months!!!  That's right!  She goes next week for her check up.  I am betting she weighs at least 20 lbs

 Some of Lillian Claire's milestones:

  • Rolled over at 4 months
  • Teething like crazy with 2 teeth about to come through any moment
  • Sitting up like a champ
  • "Scooching", aka inch bugging around and trying to crawl
  • Talking/babbling
  • Laughs ALL the time
  • Sleeps ALL night...............I have to wake her up in the mornings
  • Eating sold baby food and snacks
  • Down to 3 bottles a day and loves her sissies




 Okay................here is where the water works start.  The girls started their first day of (2P) Preschool yesterday.  I took the girls chalk and wrote this out the night before and prayed that it wouldn't rain until after I took their picture the next morning.  Well, as you can see it started sprinkling as soon as we started to take the picture.  If you can't read it, it says" 1st Day of 2-Preschool, 08-06-12."  This is also another special day as it was Justin's fathers 50th birthday!!! All in all the girls had a great day and love school.  They go to bed talking about it and wake up talking about it.  Lillian Claire also started nursery yesterday.  She did great.  As a matter of fact, she did a little too well.  She did not take one nap there yesterday.  Crazy!!!!




 I can't believe our babies are growing up so fast!! Time really does fly by.  Thank you God for giving us these miracles and blessing us with healthy children.  They are the most amazing gifts we could ever receive!
