Kara is officially walking!!

As of Sunday the 13th, Kara is officially walking! She was taking a few steps at her birthday party, but the next day she wanted to walk and do nothing else! Even though it takes her longer to walk somewhere she would rather do that than crawl. She is so proud of herself, and she should be!

Trevor's in preschool!

Today was Trevor's first day of preschool! He is such a big boy now! First we had MOPS in the morning. He loved it. Especially seeing all his old friends he hadn't seen since May.

After MOPS was over I walked Trevor to his classroom. I took some pics and he kept asking why? I told him that he will never have another first day of preschool and I wanted to always remember this day. He kept asking when he could go in and play with his new friends :) We got inside and he sat down next to all the ABC's of course!

He got to finger paint in pudding. Make a 'Trevor' tree, play on the playground and eat snacks! He asked when he got to go back. I'm so glad he had a great first day!

It's twice the fun when twins turn One!

Happy Birthday to my sweet baby girls! They are one today! The time has gone by so fast, it seems just like yesterday we brought them home. They were so tiny they could both fit into a bouncy seat together. They even shared their swing, and slept in the same bassinet for a couple months.

In the morning we had their one year check up. Yes, I had them get shots on their first birthday, bad mommy... But hey, they won't remember it, right? Allie is now 18lbs 15oz and 28.5" long. Kara is 19lbs 4oz and 28" long. They have more than tripled their birth weight! Hard to believe a year ago they were only 5 lbs.

After morning nap we met up with our friend Sarah and we took the girls to lunch. We went to Boston's Pizza. The girls and Trevor were awesome at lunch! After lunch we came home and played a little. We took the girls' afternoon bottle away today and they didn't even notice.

Later in the evening we went to Grandma and Grandpa A's. for dinner. The girls had a preview of what was to come on Saturday for their party. We gave them cupcakes and they did great! They got nice and messy. Wait until they have a whole cake for themselves this weekend! Pictures to come!

Happy Birthday Allison and Kara. Mommy and Daddy Love you!

Zoo

Today Trevor and I went to the zoo with some of my family. It was a crazy day. When we left it was sunny and actually felt kinda warm out. By the time we got to Seattle it was pouring down rain! Luckily I brought Trevor's rain coat so he stayed dry. Well at least until he found the mud puddles! Him and Dominic enjoyed tromping through the puddles. So much for keeping their feet dry! It was raining so much we decided to take the kids into the play area until the rain stopped.

After lunch it had cleared for the most part and we seen most of the animals. Trevor's favorite part was the monkeys! We went into the day and night exhibit and he thought all the little animals hanging from the tree were monkeys. We just went along with it, it was much easier than explaining what they really were.

Trevor enjoyed feeding the birds. You can buy a popsicle stick with birdseed on it to feed the birds. Trevor had a bird land on his stick, but by the time I got my camera out to take a picture the bird flew away.

While at the zoo his Grandma bought him a cute little sun bear.
Trevor cuddled it and was talking to him. I overheard him say "I'm going to take you home and put you in my bedroom so you can play with friends "

Kara and Allie stayed home and played with Daddy all day. They loved getting all the attention to themselves for a change. I'm sure Daddy enjoyed it when they took two naps during the day:)
