The Twins are One Ahhhhh......

The Twins birthday was on 4-23-09. I can't believe that my babies are one. They had such a good time on their birthday. Braysen opening his first birthday gift.
As you can see Breven likes to open the gifts but Braysen wants to watch his brother first before he tries it out.

Ok now Braysen is going to give it a try.


Braysen thinks that it is fun to throw the paper after getting a piece off.



Wow Braysen got a big piece off with that pull.

Now Braysen thinks that since his is already open he is going to help Breven.

Braysen really thinks that he is a big helper.

Now we are just going to fight over the paper who cares about what was inside!!

Breven, Oaklee, Taylee, Braysen.

The girls didn't know how they felt about the brothers getting gifts and not them. So we had to tell them that their birthday's are coming up soon and they will get their turns soon.

Daddy has so much fun with his kiddo's.


The twins got these balls for their birthday and they love them. They are learning to throw all by themselves it is so fun to watch them growing up.

As you can see Breven is very excited about his new balls.


Good throw Braysen I hope grandma can catch because the ball is going right for her.

Look out grandma Breven is getting ready to really throw that ball hard.

Go Braysen you are soooo big!

Then it was time for the birthday cakes.

We were going to sing to them first but they didn't want to wait so we sang to them while they played in the cakes.

Braysen is loving that he isn't being told no when he is making a mess.

Grandpa helping Breven eat the cake.

Braysen doesn't want to waist time using his hands so he will just put his face in it.

Braysen

Breven really likes his cake.

I am not sure if any got in Braysen's mouth or just on it but he looks way handsome anyways!

Breven wants a turn with Braysen's cake.

For those of you who know my boys you know that while they had their helments on they learned to head butt. Well as you can see Breven Head butted the cake. On the side of his head you can see more icing that is because when we ask them where their hair cuts are they hit their heads with their hand. Breven managed to show us while he had icing all over his hands.

Grandpa is in a bad place. The boys keep on throwing cake all over him. I was sooo funny.

Now Braysen wants to help Breven with his cake.

This is what they looked like when it was all over!!!!
Braysen really wanted to give Grandma a hug. I don't know why she wouldn't let him!!!

Breven still wants to play!!

The twins vs the Birthday cakes. The cakes had no chance.

We survived the first year now all of the fun will begin!!!!

Haircuts and Update!!!

It has been a really long time since I have posted. We have been really busy with life so I have not been good about updating my blog. First Shawn and I are the BVHS Golf coaches. I know that is funny that I am a golf coach concidering that I am not much of a golfer but it is a really fun thing to do and it gives me time with my husband.

The twins are both attempting to walk. Breven is doing really well and Braysen just enjoys trying. I don't know if I am ready for them to walk yet but it looks like I don't have a choice.

This weekend was my Grandma and Grandpa Neilson's 50th wedding anniversary. We got to see alot of people that we have not seen for years so it was really fun. My Grandparents were very suprised because they didn't know about it until they came that night.

My dad also got another Lamb that the girls are helping feed bottles to this year. They loved it so much last year that when my dad's neighbor called and asked if he would take one this year my dad couldn't turn it down even though it turns into tonz of work on his part. He just likes to spoil the grandkids!!! This is Oaklee's idea of getting uncle Dusty ready to go for the day. She is trying to make him pretty. Any of you who know Dusty will know that if he sees this he might be a little upset at me for posting it. We have tried to put headbands on Quade and Dusty is the first one to take them off. Sorry Dusty!!!!
The twins are into everything. I don't know how we are suppose to keep up. My mom went into her room yesterday during daycare to find Breven and look at where he is. He had climbed up in there all by himself and was playing with the weights.

This is another one of the daycare days. Apparently it is much better to read books if you are in the drawer.

This is Oaklee getting her hair cut off short. It is soooo cute I love it.

Taylee getting her hair cut the same as Oaklee. Actually Taylee had to go first because Oaklee needed to make sure that it was ok to get her's done. Taylee looks like such a big girl with her new hair cut I don't know where my little girl went.

Random pics

So I haven't posted anything for a really long time. Here are just some random pictures of what has been going on for the last couple of weeks. I tried to get a video do download of the twins pushing a toy to walk. They are getting so big. It wouldn't download so I will try agian soon.

Me and my dad have been doing the P90X workouts and a couple of nights ago we were doing yoga. They have you do some of the weirdest things. I got laughing so hard at my dad that I had to quit and take these pictures. He is way more flexable than I am. He can actually do most of these things. So here are some pictures of my dad doing yoga!!!

Sorry dad I had to post these!!! I am not sure people are really supposed to bend this way.
Don't you think this looks funny? Now you can see why I had to stop because I was laughing so hard.

Oaklee came out of her room wearing this outfit and I had to take a picture of this.

She put on her brothers jacket and she thought that she looked good.

Just a picture of the girls.

We were getting ready to go to State girls b-ball and I had the girls both in the pink shirt that Taylee is wearing. Well little miss Oaklee wanted to wear a shirt like mine and she threw a fit until I found something like mine. After she was changed and happy she had to have a picture.

As you can see both our shirts have a white undershirt and a tank top over it. Oaklee also had to wear a watch like mine. Thanks to Aunt Tina and Aunt Sylvia for giving her a watch like mine for christmas.

Daddy was watching the kids one day when he didn't have to work. As you can see they just do as they please when daddy is the babysitter. I guess they thought that they were dolls!!

Braysen

Ok so the boys needed a hair cut so dad cut their hair. As you can see he managed to leave a strip right down the middle leaving them with a mohawk. I didn't like it but we left it for a couple of weeks.

Breven

Braysen left Breven right

My boys really like bath time as you can tell.

Braysen and Breven thinking they are so big together in the bath.

Breven is a head banger!!! Daddy was watching the kids while I went to work out with papa and while I was gone he turned Breven into a head banger!!!

CRAWLING, PLAYING CATCH, AND SO MUCH MORE!!

So we have had alot going on in our world lately. I really have not been good about keeping up on my blog sorry to those of you who are wondering how the boys are doing. So we had a Dr. Appointment on January 16th for there helment check. Braysen went from 16mm needed growth to 9mm needed growth in just one month. Breven went from 15mm needed growth to 10mm needed growth in one month. We are so exciteded about it because that means that only a couple months more and we will be done with the helments. Our next Scoliosis appointment for them will be April 15th at Shriner's. So as you can see daddy is completely worn out, and here is the many reasons why...
Just a picture that Oaklee took of Daddy she was so proud of herself so I decided that I would post it.

Taylee and mom being monkey's.

The never ending feeding of babies, babies, and more babies!!!

So wonderful Daddy decided that he would buy the girls treats right before dinner time. As you can see even agianst mom's will the girls managed to sneek the treats while mom was fixing dinner and the proof is all over their faces!!!

We were playing hide and seek the other night and Oaklee and Taylee decided that it would be a good idea to hide in the dryer.

Oaklee and Taylee took it upon themselves to feed Breven some chocolate chip cookies. Aren't my girls just the most inocent children you have ever met ha ha ha.

Just another picture of the cookie mess.

Braysen left Breven right
So the twins have decided that they are going to start crawling. So I decided that I was going to take a picture of them in action as you can see I am not very good at it. I am not sure how I feel about the twins learning to crawl. It is very cute but I am not ready for them to be getting into everything.

Just another picture of them crawling before the wrestling match that happens next!

And here is where it begins Braysen is going to make sure that everyone is watching him. While Breven makes his move...

Now Breven sneeks on top of Braysen. Lets see what happens next...

Breven decideds that just being on top isn't good enough so he is going for the helmet grab. Braysen says ok Breven do what you wish but I just want this bracelet so I can put it in my mouth.

So as you can see I have my hands full in the upcoming months as they begin to figure out how to work each other over!!!

Here is just a little video of Breven left and Braysen right playing catch with dad!
