ROAD TRIP!!!!!!!! times two!!

WELL! Hope we wont be doing that again for a while...mom dragged us half-way up California to hang-out and go to some special events. After much whining and lots of poopy diapers, we made it to our first destination, and back again...only then to be rudely awoken in San Luis Obispo a week later! Anyway we had a great time and visited many relatives..(sorry mom forgot to get pics of you all!!) So enjoy!

Auntie Pam needed a break from driving so Jake took the wheel...

sorry Pammy, I think he's a better driver ;)

Crazy cousin Hallie likes to mimic my faces...that, too I do better. Sorry Hal.

This is us at Auntie Naomi's and cousin Hannah's baby shower (one of the many not pictured, darn it!). Grammie Jan and Aunt Pammy tried desperately to hold on to us as we made our best attempts at getting the yummy strawberries.
Auntie Emily struck a pose with Jake.

And the next weekend: mom and dad took us to a small city fair at the local park in Paso Robles (daddy's home town), and I decided to try out a yoga move (complete version not pictured ;)

Uncle Brett, mommy, and Auntie Emmy amused themselves (as we went to sleep already) playing spoons. Daddy was also playing but took this picture, and Grandpa Pat joined in later when the fun really started...(mom almost peed her pants again ;)

Daddy found us like this the next morning; we didn't pose, we really coordinate sleeping positions just to mess with them...

This was at Auntie Amber's surprise 30th birthday...my life is now complete...

The next day Grandpa Pat took us on his pontoon boat on beautiful Lake Nacimiento, and daddy thought it would be funny to hide me under my hat...upon which I fell asleep.

Aunties Emily and Amber chilled with Jacob..he's such a stud.

Daddy jumped in the water while Uncle Brett waited on the high rock, and Uncle Will stood on the lower rock (look closely!)...mom stayed as far away as possible btw. Thanks for taking these great pics Grandpa Pat! Sorry bad mommy still doesn't have any pics of you!!
Cute candid shot I took of my bro and the girls...



Well, that's it! These are just some cute shots over the last couple days. We're getting so big! and developing all sorts of personality quirks!

(mom likes us naked ;) So do I, Drewski

A week of firsts!! Crawling and Aqua-phoria galore!

Andrew led the way (his jealousy of me rolling over first being the primary motivator) but I followed a couple days later! darnit..and he has two teeth..but I'm still older!

Daddy, mommy, and us boys hit up the local pool for some sun-bathin' and babe-watching. All the girls were checkin' us out with our stylin' hats and billowy physique...

They did take us swimming, by the way..but of course the 'rents forgot to take a picture of it. Oh well we had a blast and are definitely going to be grommies before you know it!! Love, Jakers

Fun With Food...specifically sweet potatoes

Alright, the backstory to this is: mom was opening another jar of sweet potatoes (which we had for the first time last night and LOVED btw), Jake knocked some of the jar on his shirt, I put my hands in the mess, Jake reached over and smeared it all over my face..and mom just sat there (and laughed so hard she almost peed her pants..). For anyone who wanted to know what feeding twins is like...(how does Kate do it?!)...

Mom just thought this pic was cute...

Until next time..or until we eat something else super messy... Andrew-lardo

Happy half birthday to us!!

Our half birthdays are very important to mommy, as hers falls on the day after Christmas, as Nana was always happy to mention..but instead of celebrating, we recovered from our six-month shots, and mom recouped from her brush with death due to Ebola..just kidding it wasn't a big deal, and we'll be sure to make it more special next year...when mommy wont have to be hospitalized...

Andrew stats: 14 pounds, 1 ounce..25-50th percentile for height..the rest mommy forgot ;)
Jacob stats: 13 pounds, 7 ounces..only 3/4" shorter than my heffer brother!

Just some cute pics in celebration of our milestone...

I was pretty peeved at Andrew (and mommy) for not getting a bottle, so I rolled on top of him and tried to take it away..this was after mom caught me...

HAS to be the cutest pic of Andrew and daddy...hmm..I must have been napping...

Mom lost the ability to copy and paste...so more pictures later? Out like a trout. Jake.

Hoppy Hoppy Easter!!

Hope everyone had a very happy Easter! Mommy and daddy woke us up at the butt-crack of dawn and took us to the beach for a sun-rise service held by their old church. This is us after it was over (and before mama had her coffee)...

Easter was also the day the 'rents decided to introduce us to the wonderful world of mashed string beans...wow not as easy goin' down as the rice cereal..mommy slaved away in the kitchen making it, though, so we tried to keep our faces to a minimum...

Mom never got around to buying us Easter outfits, but we were still hotties with these hats on! Side note: I have a feeling these are girl hats..oh well we look cute in them!)

p.s. we HATE wearing hats...these were not easy pics to get ;)

See you soon! Love and chocolate bunnies to all!

Adventures in house hunting...

Update: Our house was bought by the next-door neighbor..who probably plans to expand his 3,500 sq ft house on to ours. Wouldn't want to be his neighbor anyway. It's amazing how God has a totally different plan..we can't wait to find out what it is!! (Don't feel badly, frankly, we're relieved..people drove on that road pretty fast)

I will leave some of the pics for the memories..

Originally mommy didn't even want to get out of the car...

This is the view from the front porch...

And this is what you see when you walk through the door...

We don't like granite but it has granite counter tops, so it at least has some upgrades...

The living room looking out the French doors to the backyard...

And the best part...look at this backyard!!! The house sits on a quarter acre!!

WOW!! Someone really likes tile...

The living room looking into the kitchen on the right, hallway in the center...

We told you mommy was lazy!!

Mom's note: this has to be the coolest invention..I don't know how I lived without it for so long! I actually got some dishes done today!! I love you Podee!!!
