Video's, video's, video's.  Here's a few video's of the kiddos.  Johnny is officially our little stunt man.  We don't mind that he wants to climb, jump, run, and explore everything, but boy does he make mommy nervous.  As for Shaine...well, she much more cautious.

Future Base Jumper

This is one of Johnny's new dare-devil acts. According to dad he's not jumping as high as he was yesterday...are you kidding me??

The speedster

Watch Johnny as he speeds away on the scooter. He puts his legs up behind him as if he's flying like superman.

This is Johnny and Shaine after waking up from their afternoon nap.

Our First Dental Visit

Johnny and Shaine went in for their first dental appointment yesterday.  The waiting room was wonderful for the kids because they had two different play areas which allowed the little one's to run around and be active.  All the rooms have t.v's with headphones which hung above the dental chair.   Everything was going great until the dental assistant put on her medical gloves.  Johnny immediately started crying  "door, door."  He wanted to leave.  We believe he associated the dental office for the doctor's office.  Our poor little guy must of thought he was getting shots.  As for Shaine she did just fine until it was time to have her teeth checked.  She cried for a short bit, then it was over.  Overall the kids did great!!  We're very happy with their doctor, and he's very happy with the kids teeth.  He said Johnny has picture perfect teeth for his age and Shaine has a very small overbite, but nothing of a concern.  We can now use a very small amount of fluoride toothpaste once a day, but brush our teeth twice a day.  I wasn't able to get photos of our first visit because Mike and I had to hold each child while they had their dental exam.  I'm so thankful Mike was able to leave work a little early to help out and be part of the twins first dental visit.  I wouldn't of been able to do it by myself.  I love you babe...thank you for being the most wonderful husband, and dad. 

Still spending allot of time indoors

Not much has been happening since we had snow.  It's now raining so unfortunately we've been spending allot of time indoors.  We did make it to the library yesterday, and today we have our first dental appointment.  Johnny has a mouth full of teeth, but Shaine is still teething with a couple more breaking through.  Our little sweet potato's are growing up quickly.  They've been talking so much.  Both Johnny and Shaine are slowly starting to make short sentences, rather than using just one word to say something.  Below are 2 short videos...one with the kiddos eating and chatting, and the other with the both of them dancing on our bed after dinner.

SNOW!!!!!

We finally got some snow.  Below are videos and photos from earlier today.  Most of the kids in our cul-de-sac were out playing, and Johnny & Shaine had a good time.  We lasted about an hour before Shaine started to get cold.  Not bad considering they had rubber boots and cotton mittens.  Our neighbors Lexi and Shaylee played with the kiddos, and of course we never leave our boy Blue out of anything.  He loves the snow!!!!

Imagination Station

We took the kids to the children's museum in Everett this weekend and we all had a really good time.  The kids loved the fire truck slides, and Shaine had a thing for the fireman...who is a dummy.  We decided to get a family membership so we can enjoy it anytime of the year.  The kids look so cute dressed up in lab coats playing with the animals at the Vet.
