A wedding in Philly, a visit with another twin mama and some more random shots!

This weekend we drove out to Philadelphia for Josh's best friend Rodger's wedding. Although I did not go to the actual wedding, I heard (from Josh) that it was a beautiful ceremony. We did however all (including the boys) go to the rehearsal dinner and the reception with were both nice too and the food was yummy! The boys did pretty well at the rehearsal dinner but by the next day were not willing to sit and behave well enough for us to all stay at the rehearsal together. Those darn two year olds...don't they know how to sit still yet?? LOL!! Cohen and Ethan both came down with colds on Friday so they were not feeling well either. Oh well. Another adventure in traveling with twins in tow! I didn't get many pictures at all of this part of the trip but here are a few. Grace looked so beautiful :)

On our way over to Philly on Friday afternoon we got to stop and meet another lady who is part of the online twins group I am a part of. She has b/g twins who are 4 months older than the boys. Tony & Angie are both adorable kids and so smart. It was really nice meeting Liz and her baby bugs! All the kids played well together and had fun. Here are some pictures from that as well...

Last Sunday we went to the Zoo with our friends Cy & Sarah and their kids Isabella and Aidan. All the kids had such a good time and of all the times that we've gone to the Zoo this is the first time the boys have seemed truly interested in the animals that were there so that was a lot of fun! They also got to ride the choo choo train and ride the carousel for the first time. Both were a bit hit. Cohen actually cried at first when I tried to put him on one of the horses on the carousel but once he got on he didn't want to get off. I literally had to carry him off of there kicking and screaming and throwing a huge tantrum. Did I mention how much I LOVE tantrums?? Ya, they're pretty awesome..............

Ummm...I guess the rock needed it's hair brushed too???

"Look at this one!"

Creepy but cool bats!

The Carousel

Hmmm...I don't think Cohen wanted Ethan on the horse with him.

Happier :)The day the remnants of Hurricane Ike came through Ohio (which was the same afternoon we went to the Zoo) we were outside watching the wind blow everything around and found this HUGE mushroom growing in our yard.

I like this picture...especially because both mine and Cohen's hair is crazy from the wind! :)


Behold the oven mit!

Eating fish and chips! YUM!


Mashed potatoes everywhere. I never claimed Cohen to be a neat eater (that would be Ethan) but WOW! That's a mess.
Ethan just woke up from his nap

Cuddling after their nap.


Fooling around after their nap

Just being cuteAwwwwww

It is SO rare that Cohen is the last to awake from his nap so I got this photo of him still sleeping :)In our hotel room in Philly waiting for daddy to finish rehearsing for the wedding the next day. The boys were being monkeys and jumping on the bed.



I love when they lay like this when they watch TV. Cute.
