Bubble Gum Playland

Nana sent the girls a couple of new things this week. They Love their new "Bubble Gum Playland". Thanks Nana. Kaylen also came over to play.

It's 'bin' a Great Day...

So, the girls new favorite toy seems to be one of our many plastic bins. They have played with it for days.

The 'kids' Table

We went over to our friends' (Justin and Brandy) house to watch the Tech vs UT game and the girls had their first experience at "the kids table". They look so big.

Lazy Saturday....

We had another nice lazy Saturday at the house. The girls had fun playing and just hanging out.

The girls got some new Tech shirts for the football season... Guns Up!





and Mallory of course doesn't believe her outfit is complete without a necklace...



Oh look, she found another one for Kelby... (and don't they both look so BIG in this picture)



Here you go Kelby, that shirt would look much better with a necklace...



yes, that's perfect!



and apparently Kelby thought Mallory's outfit would look better without one, so I guess she took them both for herself. :)



Later that night after baths...

Again, the girls have so many toys to play with, but Kelby likes to play with the free plastic pitcher we got from our trip to the hospital... doesn't everybody have one of these. :) We use ours to wash the girls' hair in the bathtub. What do you use yours for?



Kelby loves it... and what is that... behind her... oh yes, it's the money we could have saved by switching to Geico..... that little guy taunts us all the time.



and Mallory always wants to go bye-bye before bedtime... so she goes into our closets and brings us our shoes. :)

A Little Taste of Our World Lately.... some random videos.

It seems that we can never get a good video of the girls, they'll be doing something funny and we'll run to get the camera and, of course, they no longer find whatever it was amusing... but, here's a few videos we got this past weekend. We had a great weekend, just hanging out at the house. :)

Heidi is inside most of the time and the girls love playing with her... we had let her outside for a while, but the girls really wanted her to come back in to play.... and you'll notice that Mallory really wanted to go outside.




Kelby likes to watch the camera screen when we use the video camera... hence the "Uppease" - translation... "Up please..."




One of the girls new favorite games... blanket tug of war... until it ends with someone being dragged across the floor. :)




The girls love their little slide in the playroom but they've had a hard time remembering that you go one at a time and you don't stand at the bottom of the slide when someone is coming down. :)

In review. . . . . . .

The past few months have been filled with a few family trips and lots of time staying cool in this insane Austin heat. You know it has been hot when you get excited that it will only be 94 for the next few days.

The girls are each talking up a storm and their babble is turning into actual audible conversation. They both have become very helpful with cleaning up toys, making beds, putting up laundry etc. It is so fun to ask them to do things and watch them think it all through.

Kelby weighs almost 22lbs now and Mallory is still holding on to 19lbs for all it is worth. We are working with her doctor and meeting with a nutritionist soon to help get her over the 20lb mark and off to gaining again. She is our picky eater so adding calories to her diet is a little tricky. But over all they are still fabulously healthy!

We have a bunch of really cute giggling videos. We will try to add one tonight and maybe a few pics too!
