One year pictures

When the babies turned one we decided to hire someone to take the babies and Wesley's pictures.  The day of the pictures Evan had a 103 temperature but we decided not to cancel the pictures.  Wesley was so excited to go have his picture taken and did a great job for the photographer. Here are are a few pictures from their photo shoot!  Enjoy

T-Ball

This summer we signed Wesley up for T Ball and gave soccer a break.  This was his coach's first year to coach.  Wesley really loved T ball and got better and better each game.  We would practice hitting the ball and catching the ball at night.

 Wesley got the metal for the first game.  He was very proud of himself.

Since it was a summer session they did not take pictures so after the game everyone was gathered up and got a picture. We can't wait to sign Wesley up for another session in the Fall and watch how he progresses. 

One Year Old!!!

One year ago on June 7th we got a call at 9 pm from my dr saying I would be induced on June 8th at 8:00 am.  This was a huge shock to both Mark and myself.  We didn't know what to expect but were ready to meet the twins.  The day progressed very slowly until the afternoon then everything progressed quickly. At 5:52 our lives changed; we went from a family of 3 to a family of 5.  This past year has been easy and hard.  The twins were very good babies and as they are getting older and moving around more they get in each others way and don't care to share things as easily any more.  They love to watch what their big brother is doing and will be running around with him shortly. On June 8th Evan and Luke turned one year old.

 We turned their carseats around when they turned one and they love to look out the windows and watch the cars drive by.

 Wesley loves to color and draw.  He has wanted them to color with him for a while now, so we bought them some special crayons.  Wesley thought it was very fun coloring with them on their page. They loved to eat them so we couldn't color for long.

 When they turned one we started doing a few snacks a week in the snack buckets.  Very fun for them to do all by themselves.  Also very handy when we are grocery shopping or out running errands.

 Luke and Evan's first time in a shopping cart grocery shopping.  I was able to get all my groceries this time.

 We got out the pool one afternoon for the kids to play in.  Wesley was so excited about this.  With all three kids in the pool there wasn't much room for them to play around.

When the babies turned eleven months we started to take them off of formula and introduce whole milk to them.  They didn't seem to care and were off of formula and bottles by 11 1/2 months.
