And Babies Make...5

So some may say that I have this "thing" for firefighters...I don't know that I would really call it a thing, but I definitely don't mind them coming around! So, when I just happened to stop at the local Chick-fil-A and they were there, I wasn't going to deny the boys of seeing a firetruck upclose so we had to stay :o) I wish I had my camera (and looked a little nicer-haha!), but I left it at home and my phone was dead.  We walked in to get some food and we were greated by firefighters passing out hats, stickers, coloring books and all kinds of goodies for them to enjoy.  With twins we're always getting stopped so it wasn't unusual when this one particular firefighter hung out with them for quite some time--and of course, I didn't mind one bit! After we were done eating and playing, we went out to see the firetruck...oh, how I wish  had my camera rolling, the pure joy and excitement of the boys was beyond precious!  Tyson especially was in Heaven!!...

After a fun family night, we stopped at the grocery store to pick up a couple of things for our upcoming vacation and we let the boys actually ride in the car that is attached to the cart...they had fun, but what's annoying is that when they want out they just get out even if you are moving!! And now, I'm sure we've created little monsters and they will never want to sit in the cart again!!

I walked into the living room to check on the boys and saw this... These guys just melt my heart!

The boys get matching tattoos... And have popsicles in the pool :o) They sure do love when Nana, Aunt Haley & Uncle Riley come over to play :o)  So much, that now I cannot go to the pool without having popsicles in hand!! 

Oh my goodness, I am always one that says be careful of what you do because I believe in Karma.  Well today, I got mine!!  haha!  This morning I wrote this text message to my friend... "I put Rob in charge of the boys this morning while I cleaned  up stairs etc and it's so funny to listen to the chaos!!! Haha, I'm so mean!" See, normally I am the one who is always in charge of the kids and deal with the chaos and today I didn't want to do it this morning! :o)  As I was sending this text, Rob came up behind me, grabbed me and yelled and completely scared the living crap out of me!!!  I had a slight delayed reaction, but I screamed and of course I threw my phone across the laundry room!  Dang Karma!!!

Father's Day was pretty low key around here (per the request of Rob) so we just spent some time with just the 5 of us throughout the weekend.   I am so lucky to have Rob as the father of my children, he is the greatest Father and Husband anyone could ask for!!  We took him to Flo's on Saturday for lunch and then on Father's Day, he went and played some tennis while we got stuff for one of his favorite meals: roast beef melts with macaroni salad :o) The boys made him some super cute paintings and Kaila gave him lots of little tickets to redeem for different items as lawn work, a day where there's no talking from her etc.---very creative! And I got him some new shoes. Made by Lincoln... Made by Tyson... Later on in the day we stopped by my parents house to see my Dad and give him his paintings from the kids.  I wish I had taken a picture of those because they all turned out so good!! We then had dinner with a friend to celebrate with Rob!! Happy Father's Day...

Since the boys are completely obsessed with the movie "Cars" (aka: "Caws"), we decided to take them to go see "Cars 2" when it came out.  We've been talking to them all week about going and today was the big day!  It was their first actual movie in the theater!  They each picked out a new "Cars" shirt and absolutely love them!! Here they are getting ready to go buy our tickets!! Showing off their new shirts while waiting in line to go in...yes we were the first ones!!! Is it time to go in yet?  We're ready!! Since we were the first ones in, we got the best seats in the house (so we think so!), in the front row just behind the railing!  We let the boys run around since we had time to waste, the stairs were a big hit!  And then we got some yummy snacks!! They were just so cute and I (as every mom would!) got very sentimental (hence all the pictures!!)...they are just growing up so fast!!  It seems like, not too long ago they were ...
