Dancing fools!

As I suspected we have two kids that love to dance! We went to a wedding reception two weekends ago and they danced the night away. Well, they danced for the 15 minutes that they were at the dance before Grandma and Grandpa DeMuth took them home!




We really haven't been up to much of anything else. We are just loving life and taking in every day with these two. I can't believe they are 14 months old already! Here are a few pictures from the past couple weeks.

FAIR and SURPRISES!

This past weekend we took the kids to the fair for the first time. Matt's brother, Chris and his girlfriend Jody, who were in town for my surprise party (more on that later) and my mom also went with us. The twins obviously are a little young for most rides but we took them on the merry-go-round and a truck ride. I went with Reagan on the merry-go-round and lets just say she was less impressed. I guess I always remember merry-go-rounds being slow but this one was fast, even I got dizzy. I can see why she didn't like it. I don't think Quinn was too happy about it either. I asked the attendant to cut the ride short. The both enjoyed the truck ride a lot better.





The animals were a big hit with Reagan. She would get so excited when she touched them. It was too cute. Quinn didn't really know what to think but quickly warmed up to them.




Of course we had to let the kids pick duckies for prizes! It is a little ridiculous what it costs but they loved the water!


The twins also enjoyed their first taste of fair food. Cheese curds, french fries, corn dogs, ice cream....mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. All in all we had a great time. I can't wait to do it again next year. I bet the twins will have a blast.

This past Friday, July 9th, Matt threw me a surprise birthday party. He picked 29 instead of 30 because he claims I am too nosey and would have found out at 30. He's probably right : ) Thank you to every one who came and celebrated with me. I had a great time!! I couldn't have asked for a better night. I want to especially thank Matt for all the hard work he put into the party. I've been told that he did very detailed planning. Thanks so much honey! I love you!

Bad blogger

As always I am super behind on posting! I guess the twins have been keeping me busy!

What's new with us? Quinn is primarily walking. Reagan is almost running. Both can say "hi". They both say "mama" and "dada" but it is not distinctly directed to us. I think they will both be saying more words soon. They both watch your mouth when you talk and try to repeat words back to you. Reagan is sassy now. I can't imagine how sassy she will be when she can use words! Reagan still has 8 teeth and Quinn 6. At their one year appointment Quinn weighed 20.5 lbs and Reagan 17.5. Reagan is still our little peanut.

We have been doing a lot of playing outside. Both of them LOVE to be outside. If they are crabby and we bring them outside they immediately cheer up.

Always fighting over the same toy.

Trying to show daddy how it's done!

In and out is our favorite game.

Quinn loves to push his sister!

Of course playing outside has caused the twins to get their first boo boos :( They handle it way better than their mama.

My mom and I took the twins to their first wedding dance. Daddy wasn't able to go because he had a bachelor party the same day. He was sad but I took enough pictures so he could feel like he was there. The twins loved it! Reagan was a dancing machine!! Quinn wasn't quite as steady on his feet as Reagan but he sure tried to keep up with her. We have a wedding again in a couple weeks. I bet they are going to dance the night away!

Looking good before the wedding


Posing so nice for a picture with mama.

I tried to get a good front picture of her dancing but she kept running away from me!

Quinn is sticking close to Grandma but trying to bust a move!

For the 4th of July we headed to Grandma and Grandpa DeMuth's for long weekend. It was good to get away. We went to a local 4th of July parade. The twins loved the bands. They had the best seats in the house so they could see everything!

The twins had a great time and were sad to leave but we will be back there in two weeks for a wedding.

Hanging with Grandma and Grandpa

Sporting our 4th of July outfits from Aunt Bev!

We have been busy playing with a lot of their new birthday presents. Our house has been taken over by toys. I thought it would get better when we got rid of the baby swings but boy was I wrong!!




Other than that we have been enjoying our time with these two. I am so thankful to have them in my life. If I'm having a bad day at work I know it will get better when I pick them up from daycare. As always I will leave you with some cute pictures. Hopefully I will be back soon with more updates but I'm not going to promise! Happy belated 4th of July everyone.

Cool dude!

Hanging out - Quinn's not too happy about it




Our water baby - she will lay down in the tub all by herself. It makes me nervous!

Playing peek a boo - our favorite think to do with mommy's curtains
