wow. time for a new post.

So much has happened since the beginning of March. There will be many left out details but here's the quick recap.

Erin and Josh were here for two weeks...time flew by, they took millions of pics (alot of em are on facebook). We had a blast. It was SO good to see Josh again after his long stint in a far off country, and it was an adjustment again after they left because my 'holders' were gone! Highlights: shopping trips (they wanted to wear the babies around-I didn't walk with them so I didn't have to answer all the twin questions...haha), hanging out with many friends of ours and Josh's, lunches out, dinners in, cards, monopoly, packing 4 adults and two car seats in the bonny, dairy queen numerous nights in a row...just to name a few.






and Josh owned the entire board. we all got smoked.

one of my favs...

the boys totally love their mom, can't you tell? =)



Then Todd and Liz Arasmith came to visit from Kansas City this last weekend, but totally forgot to take pics with our camera. Dang. So, nothin to see there...and then their first Easter was pretty fun I suppose...Susie and Joe had an easter egg hunt in their living room for us (not the boys, us...) of course who didn't find any eggs, me. Who never finds anything they hid, me. wow. But I have a nice hub who shared some candy from his. =) BUT the boys made out like bandits! Deb Eidam got a little crazy and sent these from NE...so cute! Thanks Deb! If anyone needs their kids spoiled, hang around the Eidams for a while! =)


And it's about time I put up another nudie. What kind of mom would I be if I didn't. Turnin into a bunch of chub chubbies!!

This morning I went and got the oil changed in the Bonny....WITH the boys! Woah. Startin to go out and about with em...they did great! Didn't make a peep...just waited in the little room with me and looked around from their car seats. Ryan and I decided it's all about WHEN you do things with the kids...right after they eat, anything's game. now when they're hungry...lookout. =) We couldn't ask for better kids. Yeah for 3 month old babies!

Life in the Mich

So it's been cycling thru the weather here recently...snow. alot. then warm up and melt some snow, then rain and melt the rest of the snow. quick get really cold and freeze all the puddles, and then snow on top of it. This is like the third time thru. Right now we're in the 'get cold/freeze' stage. yessssss. Now when I say 'get really cold' I'm not talkin like Nebraska cold, the wind is slim to none, and the trees aren't dangling frozen chunks and your face doesn't fall off when you walk outside. Just your average below freezing chilly. Tolerable. Plus there's already some green grass in the bare parts. Try that in NE.

As for me and the boys, we have a few days off from our visitors...Erin and Josh took a vacation from their vacation and headed to Chicago for 4 days of love....or site-seeing, whichever. It was SO good to see Josh, and he's a natural with the little dudes. =) Erin's been on picture overload, and of course with her camera cause ours isn't' as cool...so those you'll have to wait for. but here are some from this last week that are pretty funny....

A little shout out to the Schoonvelds, some of our good friends up here...Heather and her kids....Ashley on the bottom, Alyssa, Heather holdin the little dudes, and Hunter. Fun fam.

Mr. Ryan Schoonveld himself and the E-man. aaaahhhh man he's hilarious. can you all guess what his occupation is?? state trooper. undercover. he has all kinds of great stories. hope the bad guys don't read my blog...

And Ethan and Garrett in protest of nap time. They've been doing this for a while, Ethan especially...not protesting nap time, but holding up their heads like that. haha. kinda blurry though cause they still bobble quite a bit. =)


They do still sleep quite a bit. awwwww

This was last night. They were little crabo's for a while there. I walked around with them for like an hour cause Ry was cleaning up after dinner and trying to get their food ready and such, so I just kept walkin around. Got a good leg workout in...do a few lunges and squats.... Thought my back was gonna blow when I was done though.

Anyhoo, we've got something every night again this week, busy busy. Just breakin in the boys too all of our activities. If you're ever bored, common over!!
