Finally Relaxing

My poor Jim. It has been a stressful year for him. Me being pregnant and sick, he took good care of me and kept up the house and yard. Then after having the babies no sleep for us and lots of stress. Then time for his annual survey at work--man, that is super stressful. The babies are asleep, survey is over, and Connie is on medication, he can finally relax. He is truly a wonderful father and husband. He lives with me for God sakes......he is a saint. Love you Jim

Mommy put down the camera and make us a bottle already!!!

My poor starving babies!! I was waiting for the bottles to heat up,, looked over and Jim was carrying both babies who were ready to eat!! Tami was trying to suck on Jackson's elbow, but he kept moving so she suck her sleeve. I could hear her slurping. Luckily after I took the pics, the bottles were warm and ready to go.

Baby Geniuses

Oh, I used to make fun of mothers that would go on and on about their kids doing the littlest thing. I would think "Oh my God!! lady, get over it!! Your kid ain't so special. Kids everywhere are doing the same as your kid." However, my little Tami and Jackson are Geniuses!! We were playing one day and they each grabbed the rattle and started rattling it!! What are the odds of both of my babies being the cutest in the world and the smartest!!

Got places to go and people to see

While I was at the covered bridge festival, Jim bundled up the babies and took them for a walk. Poor babies, I thought it was to cold, but it looks like daddy had them bundled up pretty good.

Covered Bridge Festival

What a great day!!! I got to hang with my home girls all day. They are truly awesome ladies. We have so much fun together!!! We could be stranded on a desert island together for 10 years and still be having fun. Cheryl would be making baskets out of palm leaves, Becky would making peanut M&Ms out of cocao and nuts, Amy would be looking for the booth that sold the fried Snickers (she loved that yesterday!)

I didn't know there would be a lactation station at the covered bridge festival!!! I used Cheryls van as my lactation station. That is cool that they had them there.

The only thing bad about yesterday was the bathrooms!! OMG they were soooooo gross, that I wouldn't even sit down (it is hard to squat over the toilet when you are this short). I didn't take any chances and put toilet paper on the seat, like my momma used to do for me as a kid. OK and now are you ready???? There was a tip jar for the toilets!!! can you believe that???

It was soooooo nice to get away for the day, but I missed my babies and was sooo glad the see them when I got home.

Vist from the Wild Widow Wiggins

We went to the big town of Noble Sunday to visit with my grandma from MS, cousins from TX, and northern Il. Had a nice dinner at cousin June and Daryl's. My grandma is a super fun lady and still foxy, I am sure that is why Jim is looking at her instead of me in that top pic. She was happy to see her great grand babies. My mom is very jealous.

New Book for the Punkins

This book was sent to the babies from Mrs. Esworthy--she was my 1st grade teacher. How sweet is that for her to send books to my punkins after all these years. I can remember like it was yesterday. (actually it has been 29 yrs ago) We would be lined up to go out into the hall. She would turn around and say, "Now boys and girls (she would push her glasses up) we need to keep our hands to ourselves and be quiet going down the hall"
Tami LOVES this book. It has bright colors and big pictures. She just looks and looks at it like it is the most facinating thing she has ever seen. Jackson likes it too

Happy Birthday Jenn Jenn

Tomorrow is my little sister Jennifer's birthday. As you can see, she is the pretty one in the family. We fought alot as kids, mostly because she started it! LOL. Now we are awesome buddies. She is truly a sweet person and is now a great mom. Jennifer is super mom. She works hard, takes care of her house, husband, and baby. She is so considerate of others and goes out of her way to do nice things for people in good times and bad. Happy Birthdy to my friend and my sister--Love you
