Power Wheels and a Happy 2nd Birthday

Gavin on his new quad! He drive's me crazy cause he can't just push the button and go he has to push and let go over and over so he never gets anywhere, Frustrating!!!

Tristin is a natural and he even can even ride it standing on the seat, although it isn't encouraged!

I think that the video below explains just how excited they were and although they didn't almost pass out or scream outrageously it was still fun to see their faces when they saw them for the first time! Pure joy of a child! Almost made me cry, yes I said almost!!!

Rocker Babies Wear Jeans

I found this book the other day when we went to the library and I thought it was really cute just thought I would share! Below are just a few of the pages in the book. Really cute! It's called Rocker Babies Wear Jeans.

two years ago...

kisses!

Tristin is wide awake and Gavin is snuggled in for a nap!

Chauntel and the Boys 5 days after they were born

Rochelle with both babies on her lap. Blue is Gavin and red was Tristin

The littlest santa's, and not very happy about it

Big and uncomfortable and just big. My hospital experience was very interesting I think every one can say that but I will never forget the strange looks we got from nurses as the guys tried to make me laugh!

In the hospital, I was still trying to figure out who was who and which one I had just fed, Baby A or Baby B!

Christmas cookies! YUM!

Tristin with a little flour on his nose and eating some more dough

Gavin making a bell cookie!

Yeah for Grandpa and his never ending appetite for goodies!

What a great FHE every one is so happy...or Frustrated!

So Grandpa had the great idea of making some sugar cookie Sunday night. But we actually ended up eating half the dough, what's new! We didn't even get to making the cookies till Monday night for FHE. It was fun and frustrating to have two 2 year old help.

Let it snow!

It snowed on Saturday and I say LET IT SNOW. I am finally done with school which means I really don't have to be anywhere driving in the nasty stuff so bring it on. Tristin really wanted to go outside to play in the the snow I kind of had to force all of Gavins winter clothes on and make him go out but once he was outside he was ok at least for a little while. He really is his mothers kid I hate the cold too.
I can't believe it snowed in Texas before it snowed here!
I finished with my classes and got two A's in Sociology and Native American History classes and a B in my A&P class. I'm pretty satisfied! Now on to better things like Birthdays and Christmas. The boys turn two nest Saturday on the 19th! I can't believe it is so close and I really can't believe it has been 2 years already. I wish they were still my little baby's even though this age really is fun! Actually who am I kidding I almost died when they were baby's and I am so glad they are older and more self reliant.
I will try to post some baby pictures in the next week just to reminisce a little about the good old days.

hair cuts

Tristin

Gavin

I gave the boys a hair cut the other day. It isn't how I wanted it but I guess anything is better then how it looked before. Tristin and Gavin can't rock the long hair look very well because they just look like miscreants or deprived children. I can't handle it so I just buzzed it! It's hard to think they look cute when we go to Wally world and Gavin's hair won't lay down and he is screaming at the top of his lungs. If they didn't have cameras in there I would probably leave him screaming in the middle of the isle and pretend I don't know who's devilish little child he is.

Thanksgiving is almost here, one more month till the boys turn two and Christmas will be here way too soon. I have three more weeks of school which seems to be my priority right now. I did get to go to Portland this last week end with out the boys which was a first in a very long time that I have been away from them for more then 24 hours. I missed them a lot, but it was good to have a break and do some fun stuff. I enjoyed it but it is good to be home!!! And more tired then before I left.

Trick or Treating

Everyone dressed up this year even dad(who is taking the picture).
I have to say I wasn't very excited about it, Unlike some of my other sisters who love this holiday
I don't really care for it. This was better then other years just because the kids had so much fun!

I had been able to dress Gavin up a couple of times before but
for some reason when I went to put it on him for real he was very upset and was kicking and screaming!

I decided to use the wagon but it turned out to be a horrible idea, me and my ideas!
This was the norm for last night Tristin who was Spidey was
very quiet and chill, and Gavin was Batman and he just wanted to eat the candy and didn't really care much about going to the next house.

There is a definite learning curve when it comes to trick or treating. Gavin picked up the saying very quick, but then he would do things like try to get into peoples houses to pet their dog or keep asking for more, or trying to take more then one when they let you choose. Tristin was quiet and wouldn't even say "trick-or-treat" and couldn't figure out how to open up his bag to get the candy in. Over all it was fun but very tiring.
