Sledding at the cabin

We took advantage of the heat wave we had yesterday (43 degrees) and went sledding up at our cabin with my family. This was the first time the boys have been sledding and they seemed to enjoy it! Jayden even was able to be pulled behind the 4 wheeler with Auntie Kristen!

7 months old

I know its been a long time since I have posted any new pictures, but we have had a BUSY month! It started with both boys getting pneumonia, which lasted a few weeks (at least for Landon) and then Landon also got tonsillitis later that month! On top of that, Corey slipped on the ice and broke a bone in his foot and sprained his ankle very badly, making it very hard for him to help out much with the boys. Anyhow, things are starting to look better this weekend and Corey must be feeling better, because he is out ice fishing right now! Here are some more recent pictures of the boys, who are 7 1/2 months old already!

Billy Bob teeth

Corey's cousin, Lindsey and her husband got the boys these funny Billy Bob pacifers when they were born. They were a little too big to use then, but they fit perfectly now! They are so funny!

Christmas Pictures

We had a great Christmas this year. We spent Christmas Eve with my family and Christmas Day with Corey's family. We are so lucky to have almost our entire family living right here in town (with the exception of Corey's brother Luke, who lives in Michigan). Santa came to my parents house on Christmas Eve and Jayden loved it! She wouldn't sit on his lap, but she did give him a hug!!

Merry Christmas!

We hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Here are some cute shots we used for our Christmas cards this year. Enjoy!

Photo Shoot

Here are some pictures that Aunt Kristen took of the kids one Saturday afternoon....





Some cuddling time with Mommy......




They also met their first girlfriend that day - Adrienne. She is Melissa (Haley)Dunlap's little girl, who is the same age as the boys! We can only imagine all the girls they will be fighting over when they get older!

Santa!

We went to see Santa at the mall yesterday and Jayden was so excited! We actually didn't have to wait that long, because we went right when the mall opened. Jayden told Santa what she wanted for Christmas (candy, toys & purple presents). Then she also asked him for tiny presents for her baby brothers. What a nice big sister!

Our three little peanuts

We have a lot to be thankful for - three beautiful, healthy children. Even though the boys are always at the doctor (mainly for ear infections), they are overall very healthy little guys. A lot of twins are born premature and are fighting for their lives the first 3-4 months. But not these guys - they came out just as healthy as their big sister. They were big babies for twins and haven't stopped growing since! Peyton is already over 17 lbs and Landon is 16 lbs! We are so lucky to have our three little peanuts!

Our little Tigger......

We always call Landon "our little Tigger", because all he wants to do is bounce! He loves his jumperoo and won't stop bouncing! Even if you are just holding him in your lap, he tries to jump up and down. Many times he will actually fall asleep in the jumperoo, because he wears himself out. He will take a 30 minute snooze and then wake up and jump some more! It is so funny!

Go Packers!!

Even though we are very big Tampa Bay Buccaneers fans, we still do cheer for the Packers (except when they play the Bucs). Since its very hard to find Bucs clothing around here, the kids only have Packers clothes (thanks to Grandpa & Grandma Olson). Here is a quick shot we took one morning before work. Can you believe we actually got all 3 of them to smile?!?! Too bad, Peyton closed his eyes! Oh well, I think it would be a miracle to get all 3 kids smiling AND looking at the camera. I think the Packers need all the cheering they can get!!

Happy Halloween!

This was Peyton and Landon's 1st Halloween! They were little pumpkins and looked so cute! Jayden was an adorable ladybug this year, and had a lot of fun trick-or-treating! She loved getting tons of candy....you wouldn't believe the sugar high she had that night! We brought the kids to Mommy's work for everyone to see, and then went trick-or-treating downtown Chippewa Falls. Jayden actually got scared of a few of the costumes, so she had to ride on Daddy's shoulders part of the time. The boys were in the stroller and pretty much slept thru their 1st Halloween! Then we went to Uncle Shawn's house to see all her cousins dressed up in their costumes and also Grandpa Scott & Grandma LoLo. And finally we ended up at my parents house, to eat dinner and celebrate my 27th birthday. We are SO lucky to have such good kids, because they were so happy (not fussy) the entire time!

Helmets

If you haven't heard already, the boys both had to get helmets. They both have very flat heads and in order to fix them, they need to wear special helmets for a few months. They will need to wear these all day everyday. We just got them yesterday and I can already tell they HATE them! This is definitely going to be an interesting experience! With tomorrow being halloween, we should have dressed them up as football players, instead of pumpkins! ;)

Best Buddies

I thought I would share some pics of the boys hanging out together. They already talk to each other when sitting next to each other. They also smile and giggle with each other.....it's so cute! I can already tell they are going to grow up to be best friends.....and if they are anything like Mommy or Daddy, they will be VERY competitive with each other! :)

Eating solids

We started the boys on cereal a few days ago and it has definitely been a learning experience for them! Most of the cereal ends up on their face and hands, since both of them want to eat their hands more than the cereal!

4 months old already!

Here are some updated pics of the boys, who are 4 months old already! Peyton weighs 14 lbs. 12 oz and Landon weighs 14 lbs 9 oz. And big sister Jayden only weighs 28 lbs at 3 years old! The boys are going to catch up to her fast! The boys are smiling, giggling and talking all the time now, which is so much fun!! Jayden loves to hold her brothers, but you have to keep a close eye on her, because as soon as she is sick of holding them, she decides to push them off her lap!! Jayden is getting so grown up and is such a big helper with the boys. She reads books to her brothers all the time.......I am just waiting for the moment when she has to start sharing her books with them! That won't go over as well!
