3 of a kind!

Last weekend, we had our sweet friends The Brokaws over for dinner! It was such a fun time for the girls to hang out and the boys to grill! The numbers were 6 girls (including our dog) to 2 boys- there was definitely alot of talking, giggling and squealing! Christen and I took this opportunity to try and catch the girls striking a pose. I really want to have plenty of pictures of these girls as they will be growing up together in here- at least for the next 3 years! Aren't they all adorable!

I couldn't decide which picture I liked best- so you get both! :)
I just know they are all going to be the best of friends!

While the Mommy is away...

Mattie will play! The story is- I left half a container of carrots on the floor "out of Mattie's reach" while I took Hailey into the other room. When I returned I saw this! Mattie sure showed me "out of my reach- ha!" It was too cute, she was actually licking the tub of carrots. I guess she wanted more! I love these babies!

6 month pictures!

We are so big and OH SO cute! Enjoy a few of my favorites!

First Baptist Members!

After 2 years- we have joined a church! Our sweet little family are now members of First Baptist Galveston! We are so excited to see how the Lord will use us in our new church home! :) I love this little smocked bubble- it has monkeys on it! So cute!

Me and my girls!

B is for BATH TIME!

M is for MATTIE! (Notice the hair sprouting!!! I am so proud!)

H is for Hailey! Both girls LOVE bath time! We have learned that kicking in the water makes splashes, so Mommy and babies end up wet! It is fun for all. :) We are still in our little pink tub, but once we are sitting on our own- we are both hopping in our "bath seats" at the same time! More pictures of this fun soon!
HUGS from the Haynes'!

"Silly Mommy- Carrots are for Babies!"

Oh- how funny new food is! We are starting slow (because this is a big transition for Mommy- HA!). We ate squash first- Mattie likes it ok, but Hailey won't even open her mouth for it now. I don't blame her! If she does open it- she actually gags on squash now. It is really cute- but I think I am cutting it from our diet! On to CARROTS! Hailey is looking a little unsure about this new veggie... and the verdict is......

She LOVES CARROTS!
Here is Mattie's before picture...

Mattie LOVES carrots too! :) :) :)

I am so glad- I was scared we weren't going to eat any veggie! We have had several days of carrots before I could post these pictures, so I am sure I will have green beans up soon! We are moving on to the greens next! Bon Apetit!

"TWO" years down!

What a day, what a day! Yesterday was Ken and I's 2nd anniversary. I got the idea from a friend to take a "yearly" picture to remember the day- I love pictures, so it is perfect! To celebrate "our day", we put the girls to bed and Ken's friend David Baker came over to keep them (watch them sleep). We then went to dinner at "Rudy and Paco's"- SO SO SO Yummy! After that we exchanged gifts- which we both looked to The Brokaws for help with ideas. Cracks me up! Ken (with a little help from Christen) got me a pair of 7 jeans!!!!!!!!!! Can you hear the excitement! They are great- the best present! What a surprise! I got Ken a 12 hour fishing trip in October. Jonathan, Christen's hubby is going to go with him. I also gave Ken "Marley & Me". Although I feel that movie is RIDICULOUSLY sad- it touched both of us how much changes in our lives so quickly (minus the whole fighting parts- we really don't do that). Overall the day was GREAT! I am so blessed to have such an amazing husband! I love you with all of my heart! Happy Anniversary!

"TWO" cute for words!

A little SWEETNESS for you!

AW! Is it just me or do they get cuter and cuter! It has to be a tough life being THIS adorable! I love what happy babies Ken and I have! I prayed when I was pregnant that our girls would be happy, fun babies! Boy where my prayers answered. I have 2 little social butterflies- I LOVE that!!! Here is a "sleepy" Mattie, but oh so cute!

Some more sweetness for you! Mommy and Daddy just can't get enough! :)
