Playtime With Cousins!

Both Fridays we were in TN, Allison and her girls came up and we spent the day together. It was something else... I'm not sure my parents living room will ever be the same, haha!

Miss Whitney 

Brooke and Brynne both thought this was funny.

Whitney's up to no good :)

Got what she wanted too, ha!

Brookie and her crooked smile, she had fun with that scarf.

Brynne was trying to take a quick nap, amazingly she was able to despite this:

Jade and Granny had the cards out and Whitney found them fast! I asked Jade to put them up, Whitney thought she should help. I took this picture, plus one more and Jade was already yelling at me to stop with the pictures!!

We sat outside for a while and Brynne sat on my lap and dug her toes in the dirt the whole time. Took a while to get all the dirt off these little piggies!

Brynne LOVED watching the big girls!

Allison's mini-me (Whitney)

Allison is the twin's playgym. I don't know how she gets anything done!

Example #2:

These 3 will make quite the trio in a few years...

Brooke, Matt Jr.

Whitney woke up from her nap early so we took her outside while Brooke and Brynne finished their naps.

She was making this funny face and breathing hard in and out her nose, here she is in action:

I seriously laughed out loud at this one, so funny!!

Sweet girl!



This was supposed to be the first picture... But yet again blogger hates me!

Whatcha got Nanat?!

Funny story--

Allison and I decided to go out and do a little shopping. We left her girls with my mom and took Brynne with us. Well we got about a half a mile down the road and I noticed the car was acting funny. Something just didn't seem right, so I pulled into the Verizon parking lot and about the time I got into a parking spot the car died!! My mom was stuck at the house with the babies and my dad wasn't off work yet, so we sat for a couple minutes and tried to start the car again... nothing, nada. I was pretty sure it was the alternator and knew there was no way the car would start without being jumped if that was the case. Well my aunt lives in between my parents house and Verizon (probably a little closer to Verizon) so we decided to walk to her house and see if she could give us a ride. We stuck Brynne in the stroller and started walking. We both knew what street she lived on, but weren't sure which house. We knocked on the door of the one we thought it was and guess who answered the door? Someone's aunt I'm sure, but not our aunt, haha! She pointed us in the right direction and we found the right house, but our aunt wasn't home :( So we turned around and started walking back to my parents house. By the time we got there we had walked about a mile and we were dead. Sure a mile doesn't seem like much, but did I mention the heat index was 100+ degrees! We were both wearing jeans/jean capris and sandals, not the ideal walking attire. Brynne laughed the whole way home... I'm pretty sure she was laughing at us, haha! I know NOTHING about cars, but my alternator went out in my car a few years ago and kind of remembered what it was like, so I am just glad I noticed the car acting funny and was able to pull off the road before it died.  Funny stuff!

Rubber Duckie You're The One!

I have said 38068731687 times how much Brynne loves taking a bath! If that and the pictures weren't enough, here's more proof :)



and more!!



There is only and inch or two of water in there and it is ice cold by the end of the bath, but she couldn't care less! I'm pretty sure she would stay in there all day if I would let her!!

Pool Time!

MAJOR picture overload, so not a lot of words :)

Brynne and I took advantage of my parents pool while in Tennessee. We had a rare free afternoon, so we took a little swim. Brynne loved the water of course!

Two of her favorite things, swimming and her thumb!

The swim diapers got left at Allison's so we used a regular one. Max capacity:

Wrinkly feet :)

The day before we left Allison and the girls came over and we all swam again. Best of MANY attempts at a group picture!

This is the best you get with her:

Allison with the two of her girls that can't protest pictures yet!

Sporting the mohawk:

Mohawk AND goatee, haha!

Brynne was trying to steal my camera strap.

Gotcha! (took this without her knowing!!)

and this one!



Somehow this one jumped from the first picture to the last and it takes too long to move it back, this is before we got in the first time.

Still not done with our trip... 2 more posts, I hope think! :) It's a good thing I haven'y yaken many pictures since we've been back or I would be way behind!!

Identical?!?

Yes... and No!

I must pat myself on the back and say that most of the time I can tell Brooke and Whitney apart! But I think these pictures I took on the 4th of July, would sure give me a run for my money!! I think they really look alike in this picture, except Whitney's head is slightly wider.

I had to throw these pics in to show how big they are, holding their bottles all by themselves! I wish I had a video of Brooke, she bounces while she eats... It's a good thing she doesn't get motion sick!!

Whitney is a messy eater, hence the lack of clothes :) Forget a milk mustache... She was sporting a milk goatee when she was done!

Both eating their toys the same way...

Brooke, Matt's mini-me!

Whitney, who I think look a LOT like my sister sometimes!

And yet they look so identical at times!

I had to throw these in for fun. Brooke does a trick where she balances any and everything on her thumb, it is hilarious! Sometimes she will balance something on each thumb at the same time!! I think she's going to be a genius, haha!

Such concentration!

Unfortunately I didn't really take any pictures besides these while at the 4th celebration. I spent too much time playing with babies, all 4 of them (there was one little boy around the twins age there too). It also rained really hard that afternoon and ran a lot of people off, but I still had a great time seeing family and friends!
