Lance and Austin's 1st Birthday Party!!

We survived!! All we did was open presents (with the "help" of Noah and his cousin Bryan) and watch them make a mess with their cakes. I know it's a HUGE mess, but it was so fun watching them dig in. It must have taken a lot of energy though. Austin went to bed at 5pm and I guess is out for the night, because I haven't heard a peep. Lance went down about 6pm and woke up long enough to get some milk and back to bed for him. The boys got a lot of awesome stuff. My house is being taken over by toys. The study's full and know the living room is next. Here's some pics of the big day.....

Austin opening toys....Lance didn't want to sit still long enough.

Mommy, why are you making us wear these stupid hats???

Austin REALLY enjoying some cake!!

Now we're done until this weekend. I'm turning the big 3-0 next Sunday....AAAH!!!

Happy Birthday!!!

This has been a busy week!! The twins turned 1 on Monday! They're not babies anymore and it makes me kind of sad. I can't believe one year ago I could hold all 2lbs, 14oz of Austin in my hand. Now, he's 19lbs 5oz!! My little 4lb Lance is 19lbs 6oz. They got so big, so fast and I feel like I've been in a daze all year. Of course, I still don't know how Noah got to be almost .5 and starting Kindergarten next year!!

Jeremy's birthday is today! The last year of his 20's.

The twin's party is on Sunday. I'm so excited to see them dive into their cakes, and I know they will. Especially Austin. He's got a major sweet tooth, just like mommy!

And.....I called the helmet place. It should be here within the next day or so!! He might actually get it!!

Austin still does not have his helmet!!  I called the helmet place on Monday to get the status of his helmet.  Then, she tells me that the scan didn't take and they needed to rescan him!  Noone called me to let me know!  So, we rescheduled for today.  He did much better this time.  No screaming or wiggling!! Yeah.  His orthotist said that the helmet should be here in less than 2 weeks.  About time.  I've only been messing with this for 5 months!

And some countdown news!!

--1 day until NKOTB!!  Nothing like 5 "girls" at a concert (with homeade t-shirts!) 20 years late.         I'll be sure to post pictures!

--5 days until the twins 1st birthday!!!  (11 days until their party)

--18 days until Shannon turns 30!!!!  (How did that happen?)

We're here

We survived Ike!!! We only had slight devestation to our backyard. The only casualty was Noah's swingset.

And Noah found that he didn't need electicity to have fun. (or clothes for that matter!)

Austin, obviously didn't get his head measured on the 15th. Nobody had power and I was busy waiting in line for an hour and a half with all the boys to get gas. We rescheduled and he was measured on September 26th. Hopefully, he'll be getting it this week. I already bought stickers to decorate it with!!
