Catchin' Up

So, I'm doing some catch up: My Mom and Dad moved into my Grandma and Grandpa's house this summer, after my Grandpa passed away in April (my Grandma passed away in March '04). So my mom decided to invite all of their posterity (my Grandparents') to Thanksgiving dinner at her house this year. So we had 64 people (only about 70%) in her little house! But it was really fun to see everyone and talk about our memories of playing at Grandma's, etc. And of course, dinner was awesome!
The little girls played school on the big tables while dinner was cooking.
Alexa, Karly
Taylee, Demi, Zoe, Ali
Cole and Mark were the "volunteer" potatoe peelers! Jenika and Jordan watching TV and waiting patiently for the food!
My Uncle John carving the ham.
Dad and Mark carving the birds!
Too many women in that little kitchen!
Cute Maddy holding cute Makayla!
My cousin Brandon and his yummy little boy, Cannon.
People...
...people...
...and more people!
The kids table (that's Alexa with her mouth full)
Thanks, Mom & Dad!

Double Trouble

My little look-alikes are quite a handful, as you can imagine. Here are a few pix of them lately, just doin' what they do! They make me tired, but it's very entertaining when they're not fighting.
This is the tent I helped them build one day, when they were trying to do it themselves and getting very frustrated.
Then one day Karly figured out how to blow a bubble. So of course, we documented the occasion with a picture.
Alexa couldn't quite get the bubble blowing, so she said, 'Hey, I can whistle!"
So this is Alexa whistling!
One their favorite things to do (especially Karly) is to put their hats on, get their stick horses and ride around while listening to "cowboy music," which consists of only CD's that the cover has someone with a cowboy hat on! And the favorite is Garth Brooks!
So now I'm in the process of putting together a slideshow of them from birth. So watch for that on the right...

BFF: Karly & Alexa

OK- here it is. It's kinda long (121 pix) but I couldn't decide which ones to delete!

Summer Fun!
