Battle over Diaper Rash Cream

Family Photo and Some New Tricks

Back in November, we decided it was time to get a family picture of the four of us.  After several attempts, we were finally successful and came out with a pretty cute picture.  I love how accurately this describes Ethan and Jane.  Ethan, reaching for the camera laughing.  Jane is slightly unsure about everything, but happy and just seconds away from giggling.

This picture of Dave and Jane is probably my favorite picture right now. I think I will frame it and put it on my nightstand and stare at it every night for at least 10 minutes. :)

New Year's Day/Week in Oklahoma

Guess what, after this post, and then one more post on the month of January - I'll be caught up!  And you can see my children at their true age instead of a month (or 2) behind.

New Year's in Oklahoma was a blast.  We dressed the babies up in their Christmas outfits again for church since after church on Christmas day they had a total and complete meltdown which means I didn't get pictures.

No seriously, let me just tell you about this Christmas day meltdown.  After church, I was getting things ready to take some pictures and they started fussing, so we decided to feed them first.  They didn't want their bottles.  Or to be changed, or to sleep, or to breathe.  Basically they screamed for 45 minutes.  I think maybe it was just the excitement of Christmas morning catching up with them.  Anyway, after all of that, Dave and I needed a break.  We both felt like screaming ourselves, so we took a drive to find the only corner store in town that was open (on Christmas Sunday mind you) to buy formula and diet dr. peppers.

It was crazy.  We were desperate.  We have twins.

Anyway, look how happy and cute they are here!  This was taken in my mom's entryway:

E is showing some leg for added cuteness 

Can't believe my babies are 10 months old right here:

The weather was so nice, so we went to the Tulsa Zoo - it was the babies' first trip to the zoo:

My sister Steph and Ethan with the elephant 

Jane doesn't know what to think about this turtle 

Both babies didn't care about most of the animals, but Jane LOVED the penguins.  She and my mom stood there for like 10 minutes while Jane laughed and talked to the penguins. 

Jane was worried about the snake.

E, on the other hand, was intrigued.

This little sloth guy was Ethan's favorite animal 

We got to spend a day with my grandma, it was so great to see her!

My mom and her mom :) 

With Great Grandma

For New Year's I threw a party and invited some of my high school friends that were either in town or live in Owasso.  We had tons of fun (and food)

Other than that, we played games, ate delicious meals, hung out with my brother and his family (Ethan and Jane's only cousins!) and made late night runs to McDonalds when strawberry milkshake cravings occurred.  It was such a fun trip!

Whoa my sister and I look like twins 

I thought this was me kissing Jane when I first saw this picture.
