Happy Birthday to Me!

Guess where we ate lunch? Thanks Mimi and Poppy!!

Mommy needed all the help she could get with those candles!

Elias the pirate...

Evan's so proud!

The boys wanted to take this shot for Poppy...

Mommy and her boys...

The twinners creations!!

Mommy celebrated her 39th birthday on March 17th....with the help of her family...and of course her monkey boys....The twinners decided they would make my cake....seriously...they came up with this idea on their own and discussed it for an entire week. When Mommy finally gave then the go-ahead, they tore into our baking supplies with wild abandon...Evan decided he would like to make me a "wedding cake"..... Alexander decided that he wanted to make cupcakes......They both agreed that whatever they made should be "pink"....Mommy's favorite color! The monkeys really did all the baking..with the exception of measuring the ingredients and the oven. I can't even begin to tell you how proud they were of the cupcakes....I had so much fun just watching them, this honnestly would have been enough of a birthday celebration for me. The boys were just so proud...they couldn't wait to present them at my party the next night...where Nana deemed them "magic".. Mommy had the best birthday ever......thanks to her family and of course her Monkey boys..and Little Baby Porkchop! xoxo P.S. I have no idea why the photos aren't in order.....

Green Eggs....& 2 HamBones!

Alexander and Evan's photo....to "send out to people"

Evan

:(

Alexander

The twinners love Dr. Seuss (who doesn't) and will find anyway possible to inject a passage from one of his stories into everyday conversation....Since they have a great love for "Green Eggs and Ham" I decided to cook them some green eggs. Now, I'm not an egg-lover myself....On my best day...cooking raw, slippery eggs for the boys make me shudder...but then cooking GREEN eggs....!?! That should get me some extra Mommy points....They loved them...and ate them all down...Then...asked me to take a photo of them both "to send out to people"...xoxoxo

Do you know this Muffin Man?

Alexander and Evan with their muffins.... 3/7/08

Evan 3/12/08

Evan is my helper in the kitchen and with household work in general....He likes to wake up in the morning and tell me what he would like to "cook" that day! Yesterday he decided to surprise Alexander with bluberry muffins! xoxo

he really does everything except for the oven....xoxo

My Gift....

Alexander ran into the living room, showed me his scarf...and said (while wrapping it around himself), "This is a bow.....Mommy I'm your gift!" In that second~ his entire, little life flashed before my eyes (yes, NICU included)....And I thought...you have no idea what you just said little one...Then Mommy bent down to hug him...so he couldn't see the tears (of joy) in her eyes.... xo

Rub-a-Dub-Dub...3 Boys in the Tub!

"Come on in Elias....we'll give you a bath!"

Elias says, "Oh dear...this can't be good! Help!"

All's well that end's well......

So Much For Baby Proofing....

Who wants to see a funny trick?

See how easily I opened that....with only one baby hand?

So what else ya got?

February Passed Quickly

Attempts to get the above photo...only produced this...





February has passed so quickly! The twinners are now over 3 1/2 yrs old and Baby Elias is coming up on 9 months!! He now has 2 bottom toofies, is crawling...well... :( , working the babysafety locks, holds his bottle, gets himself to sitting and standing, says "Mama" and "Bob"...Alexander wants to know 'who this Bob is'?, and laughs continually at his older, sillly brothers...Mommy's days pass seemingly one into the next...she wishes time would stop...for just a little while.... Hope you enjoy! xo P.S. Much harder to get photos of Evan these days...he's quite eluding!
