Welcome Caleb Walter and Calvin James!

Thursday, September 15 we welcomed our twin nephews Caleb and Calvin! It was also Uncle Todd's birthday, and I know he's excited to share his special day. I headed over to Oklahoma early Thursday morning (sans the kids--they can go see the boys later....spending the day in a hospital is less than ideal for a 3 and 5 year old).

Scott came out shortly after 1 to tell us that the boys were here. This is what happened to the nursery window!
Proud Daddy!

Proud Auntie Amy!

Calvin James....I could eat him up!

A sweet new family of 4! Scott is already such an amazing Daddy! It is such a beautiful thing to watch him with his boys and Courtney. Courtney had such a great pregnancy. There was never any concern with her health (some BP issues at the end), and she carried these boys while working full time up until the week before they were born (and she cut back to 1/2 days!). She is so dainty herself, so the fact that she had such big boys was so amazing! She is already such a great Mommy, and I can't wait to watch them grow together as parents!
Congratulations Scott, Courtney, Caleb, and Calvin! We love you!

New preschool

Anniston started a new preschool 2 weeks ago. We had a very poor experience at a place in our area (if you need childcare in Rogers, I can tell you where NOT to go!). We switched to a preschool that isn't very far from my office, and Anniston loves it! She is in class with her friend, Nila (I work with Nila's Mommy). Anniston says that she, Nila, and Gwyneth are best friends. That was after the 3rd day at this place, and she didn't talk much about any kids at the other place. We are SO HAPPY with our decision to move her.

Here's our little Pre-K girl with her brother on her first day at her new school!
In her new Pre-K class in the "reading area". This is where I find her most days. Anniston is going to be our bookworm. She loves to learn, she is so curious, and she would let us read for hours if we had enough saliva in our mouths to read out loud for that long!
Anniston, we love you so much. We are so glad that you LOVE your new Pre-K. Your happiness is all that matters to us, and we are always proud of you sweet girl!

Happy 3rd Birthday Treyson!!

We woke up at MaMa and PaPa's on Treyson's birthday morning. Apparently, Dadoo and Treyson decided to wake up calling the Hogs!How many are you Treyson?
"Happy Birthday to you!!"

Eating birthday pancakes!

We then headed down to the lake. The cousins had fun playing on the rocks. It started to sprinkle, and cousin Michael was so sweet and held a large, flat rock over the birthday boy's head to keep him dry---and Treyson didn't move! HA!

Happy Birthday sweet baby boy! We love you! Love, Mommy and Dadoo

Fishing with cousin Michael

PaPa, Uncle Todd, Aunt Mel, Dadoo, cousin Tay, cousin Michael, and Anniston went fishing over Labor Day weekend. Apparently, they were just about to give up and then they caught "THE BIG ONE"!!!

Lake time with Nanny and PawPaw

We went out with Nanny and PawPaw on their boat on Labor Day. We normally go out on MaMa and PaPa's boat, so this was a fun thing for the kids to do! Jerry's back was WAY out of whack, and his back didn't appreciate how PawPaw's ski boat takes bumps (versus PaPa's tri-toon!). We had a great time hanging out with them.

Uncle Matt and Treyson!!
Dadoo and his sad, messed up back!

Thank you Nanny and PawPaw for taking us out! And thank you for grilling out burgers for us! We love you guys :)
