Teeth, teeth, and some winter after dinner fun!

Teeth, teeth, everywhere and lots of brushing to be done!  The twins have both began to impress us with their pearly whites, or white I should say!  And although I LOVE their gum filled smiles I am excited that they have hit this milestone.  It's kind of funny with twins as we are always checking to see who's tooth shows the most... as if it were a race or something!  Ha!

It takes a little more to see Brooke's beautiful tooth as she prefers to play with it using her tongue while attempting to suck on her lower gum...  leaving her in the most awkward position really,  she resembles a little old man who is trying his hardest to chew a tough piece of steak with only his gums!  It really is quite humorous! :)

Hannah has too many teeth to count these days and they are beautiful as well!  She does a great job of brushing, flossing, and rinsing with mouthwash!  She's gonna be a great teeth brushing teacher when the twin's teeth actually come all of the way in!

Today was one of those days that we said "Enough is enough!"  Cold weather or not, the family is going outside!  Let's put dinner on hold and go have some fun!  And that is exactly what we did!

I think it's funny how Hannah stopped mid-climb to pose so adorably for this picture!  What a cutie!  Some much needed energy burn happened on this brisk winter evening and we suggest you do the same!   Bundle up and go outside, enjoy the fresh cool air as it feels so wonderful and it's incredible what 30minutes outside can do to a house full of children and adults with cabin fever!

Big sister fun and big sister wannabes!

Once a month Hannah's preschool class goes on a field trip to a new and fun place.  They have gone everywhere from nature centers to kid fun center's like Planet Kid in Boise.  We have been beyond pleased with Hannah's class.  It is an amazing class and her teacher is phenominal.  It's a great break for Hannah from the craziness (and sometimes boringness) of home and her social skills have increased significantly! 

A little cutie who show's no fear jumping down from high places!  I can only imagine the bravery of her sisters as they look to her for guidance and follow in her footsteps!  Yes, we have our work cut out for us!

Time flies when you're having fun!

We had some visitors this weekend and the time went entirely too fast!  We found ourselves staying up late and waking up early... well not too early of course, but early considering our late nights! :)  We were happy to see them come and sad to see them go, but we are all happier just from a short fix!  Jeff, Ang, and Jack were able to meet Aspen and Brooke for the first time.  Introductions were a hit and the girls loved them all.  Hannah was beyond excited for their visit and was more than willing to let them move in with us!  Jack will be living in Idaho before we know it (he loved Bogus Basin!) and that may be one way to see family more often! Ha!  Already looking forward to the next time we see them and have entirely too many pictures to post at once so enjoy the slide show!  Will post some videos a little later!  Enjoy and just know we miss you already!

A random week in our lives

Above is our little princess with tights, socks, and dress shoes who just couldn't tough out a nap time any longer.  John said the craziness of the house got a bit more quiet and when he looked up he found that he had lost one in somewhat of an akward position.  This with both Aspen and Brooke yelling and playing in the background.  Sometimes it's hard being the big sister!

UNO is the latest craze in our house and if this isn't a "Challenge!" game face.... I don't know what one is!  She may be small but she's hard to beat!  Feel free to come and try if you'd like!  We play so much that we are hearing UNO! in our sleep!

It appears that my girls will grow up and be little Einsteins if John has anything to do with it!  They look incredibly happy in this picture considering what is on TV!  (What in the world do you teach them on the days that I work?)  ;)

And again... Full bellies = Satisfied babies and Satisfied babies = Happy Mom and Dad!

We can't wait to spend this weekend with Jeff, Ang, and Jack!  Hannah is beyond thrilled and can barely stand the wait!  Don't worry, we'll post pics of that sooner rather than later!
