Sunday workout!

Today it was BEAUTIFUL outside so we were able to walk to Ledo's for our Sunday date day. On the way home we stopped at the playground so the girls could work off all the pizza they ate :) Athletic scholarships here we come!!

I put these in the wrong order, so it makes more sense to watch the second one first.

Pasta for Dinner

These pictures were from a few nights ago...tonight we had Sloppy Joes. I wish I had a picture of that! They don't call it sloppy joes for nothing! We had tomato sauce ALL over...the walls, the carpet, the floor, the chairs..the Mommy...and of course...the babies! Makes for cute pictures, but NO FUN to clean up! Looking forward to when the girls can use forks and spoons!

Words

It seems like the girls have gone from two words to twenty overnight! They try to repeat everything we say. Here is a list of some of the words they use on a regular basis.

Up (this is probably the most common word they use since they always want to be picked up or to go upstairs!)
Down
Hi
Out
Eyes
Nose (sounds more like Naaaaa, but they point to their nose everytime)
Mouth (muuuuuuu)
Toes
Hot
Ball
More
Bye Bye (sometimes it's ByeByeDaDa)
Mama
Dada
Cheese
"what's that?" (whass at?)
Leah says "Leah" whenever Daddy says her name...sound more like yeeeaayaaaa though

They try to say I love you (although I am pretty sure they don't know what that means...just know we say it to them all the time),
They also try Belly Button without much success.

I feel like I am forgetting quite a few, but the best part is just seeing them try so many. If we really purpose to teach them something, they can learn it pretty quickly!

Fun times!

Bath time with Daddy! The girls love when Daddy is home to give them baths. He makes it much more fun than mommy does. Here are some pics of post-bath time!

Daddy & Isabella

Daddy & Leah...this picture cracks me up. He looks like a crazy man and Leah looks terrified.

The girls have finally decided coloring may be a fun activity. For so long they just wanted to eat the crayons (which they still do) but now at least they are also finding joy in coloring with them. I love this first one of them coloring together!

I let the girls play in the basement while I was cleaning up the kitchen and this is what I came down to. I think this picture captures their love for the computer. Bella will do anything to touch a computer and Leah is right behind her!

AND...it's been a while since I really did a good coupon shopping. I finally got myself organized and have been getting some good deals the last couple weeks. This was my trip to Weis last week. All of this cost less than $25. Not the best ever, but it still felt good to save more than 60% off of my bill :)

70 Degrees!

This week the weather has been AMAZING! Today was over 70 degrees!! Kelly has taken the girls out every day and they have been SO happy to get out! They are both pretty sick (nasty runny noses, cough, etc.) but the fresh air has been good for them since it wasn't too cold! Most of these pictures were taken by Kelly, but Cesar and I snuck a few in too. The first one Cesar took of the girls and Kelly at lunch time today. How fun that they got to eat out on the deck. I was so jealous!

The girls LOVE to go on walks..as you can see, they were happy as could be!

Taking a little break at the park

And another adorable kiss picture. I know you (and when I say you, I mostly mean Grandpa (Tom)) are probably sick of all the kiss pictures, but I just LOVE them!

Don't know why, but I love this one!

And...yep, more kisses. Geez..these girls really love each other :)

The other night Leah did this OVER and OVER again. She would climb up into the seat, sit in there for a few minutes and then ask to get out. I took her out, and she would immediately climb back in again. It was a little annoying, but so cute that I continued to rescue her over and over!

Leah has been SO sweet recently. She LOVES to share with Bella. She tries to give her everything....her pacifier, food, drinks...whatever she has she wants to share. Here she is sharing my cup. Leah had it and Bella walked over to her and Leah immediately put it out for Bella to drink. They were taking turns over and over again. I love that they are starting to really be aware of each other and the other's feelings!!

Happy Valentines Day

Can't believe what a difference a year makes. Check out last year's valentine's day picture here!

Here are some pics from a few days ago...

Happy Day!

Happy 16 months today babies!!

Kisses

OH MY GOODNESS...Kelly has taught the girls the most adorable thing!! Check it out (and excuse my annoying "mommy talk")

Cuties

Here are some new pics that I love!

They love, and I mean LOVE, to stand on the big chair so they can grab stuff off the counter. Annoying, but good in a way, because it means I have to keep the counter clear of clutter!!

Love this one! Leah has that determined look on her face...she is really trying to do something (not sure what...but it seems very important) and Isabella just looks so darn cute!

Kelly took some AWESOME pictures at the park yesterday! I was so happy that it was nice enough for them to get out for a little while. They are going stir crazy being holed up in the house all the time!!

I don't know why, but I JUST LOVE this picture of Leah at Deann's house. She just looks so sweet to me. I think it is one of my all time favorites!!
