Watching daddy mow the yard


Playing Dress-Up

Friends of ours gave us their little one's costumes which don't fit them anymore.  I was organizing the closet and both Johnny and Shaine were grabbing the outfits insisting I dress them up.  I took these photos with the broken camera not sure of what I was shooting, but they came out pretty cute.

OH NO...NO CAMERA!!!

Unfortunately we are currently without our camera.  Not quite sure how it happened, but our camera/video camera is officially broken.  We have an awesome Flip camera, but our computer is too outdated to keep up with HD video.  Hopefully we'll have one before the holidays, but for now all postings  will be writing only.

Kiddos with Colds

The past few days have been a bit busy and tiresome.  Both tots have colds and it's probably from a number of things.  Playing outside in the water, change in temperature, and being around other sick kids.  Shaine kept us up all night on Friday, and Johnny kept us up all night on Saturday.  We did a little running around on Saturday to get out of the house, but stayed home on Sunday.  I'll tell ya what...do not mess with a little girl who misses her nap, and doesn't feel good.  Mommy and daddy felt the wrath of Shaine and it wasn't pretty.  Thank you Johnson's Vapor bath soaking bubbles, and icy hot vapor rub.  A warm bath, warm milk, vapor rub on the chest and back, and blankies....these two finally slept through the night without a peep.  Now we're dealing with coughs, but hopefully they'll be back to good before the end of the week.

Touch-A-Truck

Marysville had their annual touch-a-truck event on Saturday and the kids had a great time!  There were many different types of vehicles ranging from fire trucks to tractor trucks.  Shaine got a little upset when the fireman picked her up, but she eventually found some flowers and everything was A O.K.










Johnny playing the part

I was finally able to get a short video of Johnny using his dramatic skills expressing his sadness that comes with getting an injury.  9 out of 10 times when talking about his owie he uses his sad face and scratchy voice...we think it's pretty funny and we hope you do too.

ouch...owowowowow

Johnny and Shaine at Preston's Birthday Party

Our neighbors Gary and Jennifer have 2 adorable little kids....Carys their little girl who I believe is 5, and Preston who just turned 4.  Jennifer took these awesome photos of the twins at Preston's birthday party.  Thank you Gary and Jennifer for having us!!!!



18 Month Check-up at the Doctor's office

Johnny and Shaine had their 18 month check-up today and the report is AWESOME!!!!  The kiddos are growing healthy and strong!  They're still smaller than the average 18 month old child, but their physical and mental progress is up to par.  Johnny weighs in at 24lbs., and 31 inches in length.  Shaine weighs in at 21 lbs., and 31.25 inches in length.  When it came time for the shots the nurse made the decision to give Johnny's shot in his arm , and Shaine in her leg. This is because Johnny has big, buff deltoids in his shoulder, and Shaine is very dainty and her muscle is in her leg.---Seriously...he looks like he lifts weights...it's pretty cute. -----Just to give you an idea how little these 2 actually are for their age...we were at a park with other toddlers, and most of the 10-12 month old babies were the same size or bigger than Johnny and Shaine.---Strange, but true.

Looking forward to the weekend

Not much is going on here at the Dragland household.  Mike and I spend all our time taking care of the kids, and we love every minute of it.  Labor day weekend means and extra day with dad!!!!  We don't have any big plans except taking advantage of the nice weather that we're suppose to have.  The video below is a bit boring, but it gives you somewhat of an idea how Shaine's little mind works.  A little F.Y.I...she's been standing these soldiers up and organizing them for at least 4 months now.  She also organizes and separates her food.  Pretty fascinating for mommy and daddy.

Toy Soldiers


A Wagon and a Bike!!!

Thank you Doug Breshears for giving Johnny and Shaine your son's old wagon and Bicycle.  They just love the wagon, and Johnny still has some growing to do before reaching those peddles.





Taking a ride on daddy!!!! The twins love this!!!!


Helping mom clean...

I found these toy vaccum cleaners at 2 seperate garage sales. Best $2.00 I spent all year!

So much love between these siblings

Johnny and Shaine are so much fun to watch because they're always having fun together.  Every night before bed we have a routine of giving each other goodnight kisses.  It's so adorable to see how much they love each other.  I asked them to give each other kisses and I got this great picture, but what I didn't get is them laughing at one another after the kiss.
