Date Nights

With a six year old, a three year old, and 4 month old twins, life has become increasingly busy. Colby & I have never really been big on date nights, mostly because we’re cheap and we don’t want to burden anyone with our kids. We do a pretty good job at spending time together in the evenings just watching TV and stuff, but lately I’ve felt like we owe it to ourselves to do a little something more for our relationship. I came across this blog post from Simply Modern Mom called Project 52. Basically the idea is to date your spouse every week and to do most things for cheap/free at home after the kids go to bed. PERFECT!

And even though Colby may think I’m silly, I decided that we’re gonna do it! (I’m sure he is reading this blog post and thinking, “What the … ? This is the first I'm hearing about this!” Well, get over it, honey. I do what I want. :P ) And I plan to blog about all our dates cuz as he recently pointed out, this blog has become like our family’s online journal. It is awesome to be able to go back through the last couple years to see where we were and what we were doing and to remember all the fun times we’ve had as a family and with our children. Plus as both my mom AND my dad pointed out to me, all our recent posts have been about Jacob & Owen. So I guess I need to start blogging about more than just the twins!

A New Toy

Let's see .... 2 bouncers, 2 swings, and now 2 jumperoos. I don't think our little family room can take much more baby equipment! But at least the boys seem to like their new toy. :)

Here's Jacob:

Owen in action:

What's yours is mine ...

I wonder if they'll always share so well .... :P

Little Farmer Boys

The only thing better than a baby in overalls is TWO babies in overalls! After we got them dressed this morning Cailyn said they look like farmers. :)

Jacob the Clown

This is what happens when I leave Colby alone with the boys. I swear I was only gone from the room for a couple minutes and he was able to put the wig on, take a couple pics, and put everything back before I knew what was going on. Although I must admit it's pretty hilarious!!!

Rollie Pollie Jacob

All of a sudden Jacob decided that he can roll over. I guess he got tired of tummy time. :) I guess this is the first step in these boys becoming mobile -- heaven help us!!!

Hair Envy

"Gee, Owen, I wish I had hair like yours so they would quit calling me 'The Bald One'. Maybe I can rub yours for luck!"
