A couple of days ago, I was craving chocolate chip cookies but I didn't want to make a whole batch. I could literally eat the whole batch myself because Hubby isn't big on cookies. So most of the time, I only make cookies for special occasions. Anyway, I've seen those "cookie in a mug" recipes and thought I'd try it out. My first two tries ... read more
Life with Twins: Harrison & Lyla’s 1st Birthday Photo Session
Last week, Priscilla (my BFF) and I took turns taking pictures of the twins. Randy came along to help keep the situation under control. Ha! We ended up getting a good ole thunderstorm (amazing!) the afternoon we did this, so we had to keep the twins out of the grass. Babies are always rough to take pictures of, but double it, and WHEW! We did ... read more
Life with Twins: Harrison & Lyla’s First Birthday Party {Circus Theme}
Over the weekend, we had Harrison and Lyla's first birthday party! I chose a circus theme, which is the same theme as their nursery. We had a little over 40 guests in our home. We had intended to set up tables and chairs under the big trees in our backyard, but it just so happened to be 105+ degrees (go figure), so we kept it all inside. Get ready ... read more
Life with Twins: Happy Birthday Harrison and Lyla!
Today, our Little Loves are one year old! I can't believe how the time has flown! There were days when I thought we'd never survive having two littles to care for, but we've survived the first year! Harrison and Lyla, you are the light and joy in our lives. You've taught us love goes far beyond what one can ever imagine. There were times through ... read more
Slowly But Surely Getting the House Painted!
Well, I know some of you are anxiously awaiting pictures of the finished house. If you read my last post, you'll know that Hubby started painting the brick and trim on our house. It's not completely finished, but I couldn't wait any longer to post some "after" pics! We are SO happy with the results and so glad we finally made the hard decision to ... read more
Life with Twins: Harrison & Lyla Update
It's Twin Time: Life with Twins on the blog, y'all! I've meant to keep records of all the milestones the twins have accomplished here on the blog, but yeah right. Just posting on the blog is an accomplishment. They are 10.5 months old. They've been behind for a little bit since they were preemie's, but it seems like they've learned to do ... read more
The House is Getting a Makeover!
Today is the day! My hubby is outside painting the bricks. I know I told you earlier he'd been making preparations to paint and he's finally got a day he can do it. I got a couple of pictures last night as he was taping off the last of the windows. He actually painted a little earlier in the week so we could see if we liked the color we chose (what ... read more
Preparing to Paint
This is what has been happening around our house the last few days. I am super nervous! We have finally decided to take the plunge and paint the brick. We've gone back and forth on this since we bought the house looking from a historical point of view. But many of the homes in our area have painted brick and when it comes down to it, we just don't ... read more
Life with Twins: Harrison & Lyla Say Happy Memorial Day!
We want to wish all the Veteran's, especially our own Paw-Paw's a Happy Memorial Day and say THANK YOU for your sacrifice for our freedom! Our mom took some pictures of us today because we kind of coordinate and we're kind of patriotic and just downright cute. Mostly, we didn't look at our mom, though who was taking the pictures. We had to ... read more
Life with Twins: 7 Months!
It's hard to believe the twins are 7 months old today! My blog is lagging way behind....I figured it was time for an update and some pictures! We tried to get family pictures yesterday since it was Easter. It proved to be a lot harder than it should have been. The babies were fussy yesterday morning at church, so we did what we could. Here's ... read more
