Twins first Thanksgiving!!

I am finally posting about our Thanksgiving.. It was a very nice day and it was fun having our kiddo's to celebrate with us this year. We had just a small turn out at my parents as my oldest sister and her family had traveled down to Vegas because my Nephew Colt was playing football for little league and my oldest brother and family spend it at home in Arkansas.. We are hoping now that they are moving to Portland that they will be able to start spending Thanksgiving with us again, as it won't be so long of a travel.. We sure have missed them the past few years and we are excited to see them at Christmas time! But even though it was just my parents, my sister and family and my little brother and his family it was still great! The kids all went around the table and said one thing they were thankful for and my one niece said she was thankful for TV, we all got a little laugh out of that and my brother (her dad) said well atleast she is being honest!! It was really cute.:)

So as Thanksgiving has come and gone (already) I can't believe that Christmas is just around the corner.. I just want to say I am very Thankful for my husband and all that he does for me and our little family and all the stuff he puts up with me and still loves me anyway!! He is the greatest and I don't know what I would do with out him. I love you honey! I am also so thankful for my kids, they make me so happy and bring so much joy into our family.. It was a year ago today ( the day after Thanksgiving ) that we found out we were going to be having a baby and that was so exciting (little did we know then that we would end up with two!!) And now a year later we have two sweet babies to love! I am also very Thankful for my family and Lances and we are grateful that they love us and are always there for us! So as I close this post I hope that you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and spending time with family and friends! Here are a few pictures from our Turkey day!


Here is our cute little family before eating our yummy Turkey dinner, Sawyer would not give us a smile for anything!!
Here are my two nephews Maguire and Dillon and niece Makele waiting patiently for dinner.. I was going to take one of the rest of the kids and the adult table but got side tracked and forgot!! Owell..
Another attempt at the family photo, Sawyer would not give us a smile and he kept trying to get out of Lance's arms!
My two cute little Turkeys! Sadie was very smiley, but would not look up at the camera and Sawyer again would not give me a smile, but he is still so dang cute!
Second attempt, this one Sawyer was getting annoyed with us and looked away! haha Third attempt Sadie still being her silly self and Sawyer still wondering why mom is being so goofy and trying for yet another picture!!
And of coarse we had to take one of baby Ireland because it was her first Turkey day too! Though at the time my mom bought the bibs we did not know she would come so early and so she borrowed Sadie's and we took a cute picture of her. She is so tiny that the bib completely covered her, she is so precious!

Ireland Paige May has Arrived!!

My sister Michele, her husband Joe and their 5 kids welcomed into their family a new little girl. Ireland Paige was born on November 24th 2008! And we are so excited to have her join our family.. She is the number 17th grandkid for my side of the family!! Michele is my sister that also has the boy and girl twins just like us!

Here are some cute pictures, I am a proud Aunt and wanted to share, enjoy!


Michele and Joe are such great parents.. Joe and all his 6 kids!! Bailee, Brooklyn, Maguire, Makele, Ryker and Ireland.. My mom made their shirts for them. Ryker was not too happy about taking the picture and he still is not so sure about baby Ireland yet.. I am sure he will grow to love her!

Sweet baby Ireland!! Welcome to the family..

Big brother Maguire and Ireland Ireland and all her hair!! I am jealous she has way more than my kids.. Aunt Amber, Sawyer and Sadie with baby Ireland.. My kids look so big next to her. She weighed 5 11 and 18 inches and Sawyer was 5 11 and 17 and a half inches. Almost exactly the same.. It is amazing how much they have grown!

Bumbo time!

So after seeing alot of my friends kids sitting in their bumbo chairs I decided to go get one for my kids. And after seeing how much they cost I decided that we only needed one for now, besides they wouldn't be sitting in it all day so they can just share. So here are some cute pictures of them trying out their new bumbo! Mind you these were taken on my cell phone camera so some of them are not the best quality.. I still have not got new batteries for my regular camera!!

I know this one has a major glare from the window, but I loved her smile in it so I had to post it anyway!
Sadie getting ready to tell me something...this one is kinda blurry.

Sadie checking out her toys while hanging in the bumbo!
She was giving me a little laugh here And yet another of my sweet baby girl, just because she is so dang cute! I know it may seem that a lot of my kids pictures that they are in their Jammie's and they are in them in these too because when we are at home and have nothing planned we like to be comfy! I promise I really do dress them in clothes!! :) Now here is my cute little man..


Chillin in the bumbo, a little small smile!A little bit bigger smile.. I wished these pictures show his eyes better he has his daddy's gorgeous blue eyes!
What a sweet handsome boy!

I know this one is really weirdly blurd ( is that a word) he looks like he has a ghost hand but the smile was so cute I had to post it even though he is not looking at the camera!
And this one he had lost all his smiles and said I am done with pictures mom!! But he is just so cute..

Sisters Princess chair!

The other day before we had bathed the twins, we were getting ourselves ready to hed out and run some errands.. So we had Sadie's princess chair that she was sitting in while we were doing things. Then when we took her out to dress her we put Sawyer in it to chill for a few minutes and when we came back this is how we found him... Sound asleep in sisters chair! So I just had to post the pictures of both of them sitting in the chair. One day I am sure Sawyer will kill me for taking this picture. This chair was given to us by my sister in law Britt, it was my niece Kasidee's and we have been looking for a boy chair for brother so he will have his own. Sawyer's picture was taken on my cell phone so the quality is not the best, you can see that the chair looks more faded in his pic but in Sadie's it is nice and bright. That is because I took her picture on a different day when she was sitting in her room while I was putting things away! And when I went to take his picture my camera battery had died. We sure have gotten good use out of this chair already..

The twins 4 month update!

The twins were four months old on Sunday! They just keep getting bigger right before our eyes... I still want them to be newborns, but they are getting to a really fun age. Sadie is trying to turn herself over and almost did laying on the doctors table. They are both smiling so much and laughing and doing really well. We tried sitting them up the other day just to see how they did and they actually sat there for a minute before falling over! I don't think I am ready for them to be doing all that makes me sad that they are changing so much already..

But we are having so much fun with them and are so blessed to have them in our family!
Sadie's stats from the doctor yesterday were weight 11 lbs 9 oz, length 23" and she is still in the 10 percentile in all.. But she is now on the charts which is better than at her 2 month.

Sawyer was 14 lbs 9 oz and 25 in length and he is in the 25-50 percentile. So we are very pleased with that.
Both kids have been really having issues with spitting up since they were born and so when we decided to change doctors this last month because I was not happy with our first pediatrician our new doctor recommended that we try them on some medicine that helps with spit ups and she also thinks they have a case of acid reflux! So she got us some prescriptions for that and we will try and see if that helps!

But all in all things went great and other than having to get a shot this time around and having alittle bit of fever and crankiness they seem to be doing pretty well today!

The twins 1st Halloween!

It was so much fun to dress the kids up for the first time. We had a lot of fun going with my mom, sister, nieces and nephews to see Grandpa Kuehne at work and their Great Grandma Dillon. And then later having Grandma and Grandpa Holbrook stop by to sneak a peek at the kids dressed up. We also had a great time dressing them up and taking them out to trick or treat. We have gone for the past 4 years to my sister Michele's house halloween night and she makes yummy soups and Chili and we hang out with her family, and my parents! This year we had lots of yummy food again.. We took the kids out with my nieces and nephews for awhile and then we brought our kids back while the other kids went to a few more houses.. We even got some candy for ( us ) in their trick or treat bags my mom bought for them!

I mean they had to go trick or treating too.. :) It was alot of fun and they were really good all day. We were super tired by the end of the day from all our adventures!
Here are some cute pictures to check out..
