Double the fun!!
I get a lot of comments from other people about how I must have my hands full or how these two kiddos must keep me busy. I’m not sure if they feel sorry for me or just feel obligated to make a comment (esp. after asking if they are twins). Maybe people with two small children just don’t get out much and so the general public isn’t exposed to “extreme” motherhood very often.
Whatever the reason, it seems that people are totally uneducated as to the benefits and joys of two little kids.

My kids double the car experience (good or bad
)

Double the playground fun

Double the playtime
Double the packing

Double the joy

Double sorrow

Double the photo ops
Double the laughs (watch Ivy carefully at the end – must have sound)
They love each other so much – Ivy watching everything Lance does and Lance desiring to be a part of Ivy’s life.

He loves to feed her

Share with her

And get caught with her (are you supposed to have that banana?)

While my hands might be full with these two kiddos, my heart is full too – I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I had a friend over to do a photo shoot with the kids. I mostly played the part of baby wrangler so the credit for all of these wonderful photos go to Cassia.
Batter up! We started out the day with a little baseball – waiting for Ivy to finish her nap.
This one is for the team!

This is the best way to ride.
And now for my personal favorites – the romantic set.

The flowers….

The kiss!
Do I have the cutest kids or what!?
And this one is just for the smile.

We are at my parent’s house for Christmas vacation. Today, cousins Connor and Abbie came over to play so we decided to build a fire.
Lance enjoyed throwing sticks at the fire. He would go way off, find a special leaf and bring it back for the fire. While burning some tomato vines we used a sheet to make smoke signals.

Once we had a good fire we had our traditional burning of the Christmas tree.

Everyone stood at a safe distance to watch. Lance was a little scared.

Now what should we do with all these coals? Roast marshmallows of course!

We pulled out a few sticks to make a small roasting fire for Lance.

Katie and Connor sit at the big fire – Connor one-ups Katie in the marshmallow dept.

After getting the boys situated I turn around to find Abbie trying to load five “march-messos” on her stick!

Mmmmmm-mmmmm goood!
