Lazy

The title of this blog is pretty fitting since it have been well over a month since my last post. Honestly, while we have been busy, I have still had nights were I have had time to blog, but have decided just to get engrossed in TV or go to bed.  Pretty lazy, yes I know!  Partially to blame for the lack of blogs is the fact the last month of my kids' life has not been documented in pictures.  I have about 6 pictures, all which were taken this weekend, of the past 30 days!  I would like to say I lost my camera or it was broken but it wasn't, just sitting on the counter ready to be used! Funny, how I feel bad about this...no record of the past 30 days in photo. Do you remember the time of actual film?  No one would ever take as many pictures as we do now just for the purpose of taking pictures!  Pure laziness!

The silver lining in this laziness is that I did my Christmas cards out early (well early for) however no Christmas letter as yet again, I didn't want to put the effort into one...but I am sure it would of went a little like this...

It is hard to believe this year at this time I was just hoping to make it thru the holidays with out any problems with the twins and now they are 9 months old!  It amazes me each day, how distinct they are, but yet so the same (probably only makes true sense to those of twins reading this blog). 

The kids or "animals" as Randy and I refer to them are growing so fast...

Leighton...our 2 year old going on like 4 and a princess thru and thru...she has a very impressive vocabulary and is very fast to pick up on things. It amazes us how much she know. She is very imaginative and can play with her dolls and animals for hours. Since going to "school" she becomes more and more independent and confident. However, she still refuse to use the potty...even presents, stickers or candy won't tempt her...she too smart for that. Any ideas would be appreciated! She LOVES ice cream! Because of her, we have been thru 3 Cinderella movies, going on 4 and will be start our 2nd Sleeping Beauty movie!
Ryan or "watch dog" as we refer to him as is always first up, first down. He lets us know when Grant is doing something wrong or Leighton is being mean.  On occasion he hollers have been an alarm clock for both Randy and I when we try to get a couple more minutes of sleep!  He can stand but not brave enough to take that step alone yet.

Grant, or "bubba" is pretty much the complete opposite of his brother.  Likes to sleep in and stay up late. Is the one "breaking the rules" or "not listening" . "No no no Grant" is heard a lot in our house...followed by his big smile and a laugh.  He LOVE climbing stairs and is pretty fast at it too.  He even is a good escape artist and he can break thru gates.  He doesn't stand, has really no interest in it...but he tries to walk.  He will eat anything you put in front of him...doesn't matter if it edible or not he will try it.

Both boys LOVE their momma very much and fight for her attention.  Just these past couple of days they have started fighting between the two of over toys etc...surprisingly big brother Ryan usually wins! They both adore Leighton and she makes them laugh on the drop of a dime.

The parents of these 3 animals are doing well.  We are both busy at work and content in our current positions.  In the past month, we have had taste of a social life again (without kids), how different it is going out knowing you are going to make it thru the whole meal with out a meltdown!  Our living situation still isn't ideal, but we are making the most of it.
