Fun Fact #3
Each night, during our bed time routine, after we get done reading our books, we put one in their bed, and as we turn around to get the other, the game has begun!! Both girls, mainly Emma, will hide behind the rocker and you have to "find" her to put her to bed!! Where do they come up with this stuff!!
Can't say we didn't try!!
Some favorites...
Congrats Grandpa!

18 Months
About a week ago, the girls and I headed back to Sioux City to get their 18 month shots done by my step-sister, Mindi, who does photography in Florida. Take a look at her website, which is to the right on our blog page under We've Got Friends, Images by Mindi. She did a wonderful job and I was telling Travis how easy this photo shoot was compared to our last indoor shoot, which left us in a dead sweat, and the girls fearful of the studio!! It was a breeze and she captured them in their play, which is the way to go!! Enjoy!!
While I'm at it, I'll give a quick update....the girls weigh around 23 lbs. and 22 lbs. with Ella being the heavier one. Emma is still a half inch taller. They are busy little bees, needing 100% of my supervision, or else I have a fight (and I mean hair pulling, eye gauging fight) or someone goes head first off the couch!! Their dance moves are starting to range a bit more from the bouncing and swaying. Ella loves to walk around with her blanket covering her head, which forces her to crash into everything and anything. Emma is very sporadic in her moves...for example, in a car ride yesterday, she started hitting herself in the head with her foot!! They are slowly getting the potty training thing, and have their moments where they do well, then not so well! Our next goal is to remove the cribs (which was suppose to be tonight, but I chickened out!!)

Fun Facts
Fun Fact #1: The girls are very loving to each other most of the time. They will take care of each other by getting a blanket or drink or toy when upset. Or just plain give kisses, which they giggle at!!
Fun Fact #2: We have succumb to the fact that we need the TV for entertaining purposes, just as much as we don't really want to admit that!!

Routine
The girls take after their mother in the fact that we like our routine at our house...here is a pic of the girls and dad's routine when he gets home from work...they help him take off his shoes and disgusting sweaty socks (of which he has the girls bring to mom, at which time I politely decline the offer!!)
You don't HAVE to swim at the pool, do you?
The girls and I met my friend Tessa and her boys at this great little kid pool in Omaha. The picture with me is the most I got them in the water, but don't you dare let the water touch them!! The last pic is what they did, sat around and played with old people who didn't want to get wet either (that's Ella playing peek-a-boo with an older lady behind us)!! We couldn't get a pic with all the kids together since mine were never in the water and hers were never out of the water!!
Child proofing reaches a new level!
