Just a MESS :)

Last night we gave the boys some crackers with Sunbutter on them. Sunbutter is made from sunflower seeds so there's no peanuts in it at all but it looks and tastes pretty close to peanut butter. We've decided that we won't give the boys peanut butter until they are about 18 months as per our pediatrician's advice. Kids are a lot less likely to develop a peanut allergy the longer you wait. Neither Josh or I or anyone (that we know of in our families) have peanut allergies so they should be fine. Anyways...here's a couple pictures of them after eating it. It was EVERYWHERE and they went straight up to the bath after....

Ethan's First Haircut!

We finally took Ethan in for his first haircut. He did pretty well. He cried at first a little but as long as I stood there and held his hand he was OK :) He didn't get too much cut off, just kinda needed to be touched up! Below are a few pictures.

His certificate



They had a really cute little play area that they both loved so they played in there for a bit. I would LOVE to get this little tree playhouse they had there. So great for kids!

First time really playing in the snow!

First time walking in the snow by themselves :)

Cohen's first sled ride...he liked it too :)

The little hill they went riding down

Me reading to the boys right before bed last night. I love how they come up and turn around and plop themselves on my lap with a book now. :) It's cute. (excuse the make up under my eyes...it was the end of the day!)

Just some more pictures

Meeting another twin mommy

Today the boys and I ventured out to meet another mommy of twins. We are in the same online group for moms of twins and decided that since we are the only one's in the group that live in OH and not that far from one another that we should meet up. So we did! We just strolled around Polaris mall and ate lunch at the food court. All the kids were good and it was nice visiting with someone else who has twins. Emily also has an almost 4 year old daughter as well who is such a sweet heart. Anyways, here's a few pictures. We didn't get very many and the one with Emily and I was supposed to be of the 7 of us but he only got us in the picture. Oh well. It was fun!

Miss Maggie wanted to come with me into Stride Rite while her mommy was getting her watch strap fixed and wanted another picture! Cutie Patutie.
Watching Emily & Maggie going up the escalator. Maggie really wanted to go up so I offered to stay with the kiddies while they went up and back down!

All the kids

Pictures from Christmas time when Josh's dad and girlfriend came for a visit!

So I have been meaning to post these pics for SO long now. I feel horrible. These were pics taken from when Josh's dad (Eric), girlfriend Brenda, her two girls Malyse (I'm sorry I don't know if that is the correct spelling), Devin and Josh's youngest sister Jenna came up just after Christmas. We had a great visit and it was so nice to finally meet Brenda and her daughters. The boys LOVED the girls and all the attention! They DROVE here from Florida so that was a feet unto itself. I think Eric was in his glory being around the boys...and I'm pretty positive the feeling was mutual for them. They just loved climbing on him and gave out big giggles all the time. If I do remember correctly though they weren't all smiles & giggles!! They were a bit off for a few days. I guess having 9 people cramped in our little townhouse was a bit much for them! We loved having them all here and once again as with all our family, we wish we lived closer. So here are a few pics from that visit...(in no particular order)

Gabbing on the telephone
Just some snow. This was taken just after Josh's dad left. Brenda's girls were so hoping to see snow while they were here. They have lived in FL all their lives and have never touched snow.
Just the boys climbing.
They LOVE anything electronic (or anything they know they shouldn't have!!)

Devin & Cohen. She let him play with her cell phone so she was his favorite!
Hmmm...not sure what's going on here...
