I can't believe they are getting so big already. They both are rolling over, they both jabber up a storm (that's where the phone comes into play), they kind of sit up, they are eating cereal at least once a day and they sleep more hours at night.

Now with summer here we are spending a lot of time at the pool, so hopefully the babies will be real comfortable in the water. My son took to the water really well, it only took him two days at the pool before he was jumping in and putting his head under water, now less than two weeks he's already swimming under water. My older daughter does well, but she is afraid to put her head under the water yet. She'll get there though.

We already bought them walkers since they like to stand, while being held of course. The only problem is, they are way too short to touch the floor and the walkers can't be lowered any more. They will probably be walking by the time they can reach the floor in the walkers. Oh well, they do like to sit in them anyway and we can feed them in there also if we want to.

Soon we will have to shop for gates since we have stairs! It won't be long before they will be mobile.

First Swim!!!

Today was such a nice day, we decided to take the kids to the pool. It was warm and then breezy but it was still nice. The older kids had lots of fun. The babies seemed to enjoy the pool, but they got hungry and tired soon after they went in. I put lots of sun screen on everyone, I'm

hoping it was enough. We didn't keep the babies out in the sun for very long though. We forgot about swim diapers for the babies this time, we will make sure we have them for the next time. I've never used them before, so we'll see how they do.

We are hoping to take the kids to the pool at least twice a week so they can all get used to

being in the water. The two older kids actually did fairly well. There is a large area of the pool that only goes up to 3 1/2 feet, so that's good for them since they can stand in it with their heads above water.

Twins at Disneyland!

My parents took us all to Disneyland for a family vacation. It was great. We all went except for my sisters husband and their 2 teen aged boys (we missed them). All together nine of their eleven grandchildren were there, seven of them under 7 years old and the other two are 11 and 13. It was so hard keeping our eyes on all of them. At least 3 of them were young enough to keep in strollers, the other four kept trying to wonder off, but we managed to leave with the same amount of children we went with! It was a wonderful vacation all in all. One of my nieces is 7 weeks older than our twins so we dressed them all alike and of course we got the "are they triplets" question asked a few times. Thank Goodness for Grandparents otherwise we may not have been able to ride on any of the rides or see some of the exhibits. If I wouldn't have been so far from home or gone for as many days as we were, I would have left the babies with relatives. I just couldn't bring myself to be away from them for that long. It really wasn't that bad having them there, everyone helped watch each others children, even my brother and sister-in-law who don't have nor do they want children. They love their nieces and nephews and they love them!
