Future blackmail

Do you think this will come back to haunt Cache? He loves my shoes. The higher the heel, the better!

Many apologies for my laziness....

Life gets away from me. Yes, away from me, Ms. Control-Freak. In our journey of twin-parenthood we have learned a lot. Trying to let go of a few things is something I am still working on....Anywho....let's get to the reason you this thing! Funny stories about Asher and Cache.

Disclaimer: I can't seem to remember the camera to most of the significant events in their lives, so, you and they for that matter will just have to trust us that they happened!

We played soccer and basketball this year. We were mostly concerned about the snacks after the game and where our twin was. Asher and Cache provided the entertainment with wrestle-mania on the soccer field and were always first in line for the snacks. Most importantly, we had fun!



The boys have fallen in love with the lake and their Uncle Weeman (Leman) and Aunt Juwee (Juleigh). Luckily, the boys do not have their mother's fair skin, so they will actually able to enjoy the lake without obsessing over sunscreen. They had a blast on the water and on the boat. We were very surprised at how well they took to the boat. Cache kept asking to go faster and we had to hold on to Asher so he wouldn't jump off the boat. Fear is not something these children know. Uncle Weeman and Aunt Juwee, when can we send them to Amarillo to stay for a couple of weeks?

Oh my, where does the time go???

Here are a few Facebook posts and pictures to catch you up on the last 5 months....

Me: boys we need to go to walmart to get groceries. A: I can't like walmart anymore. I wanna go to target.

why do kids fight nap time? I would love to have a scheduled daily nap.

We weren't the only ones without a clue!


we are a little overwhelmed at basketball tonight. A&C were velcroed to my leg.

help us, a&c are signed up for basketball starting next week..

my 3 yr olds want a skateboard and a motorcycle...aren't we a little young for those?? I envision broken limbs in my future.

Birthday cupcakes for breakfast!! I can't believe my baby boys are 3 today! I guess there are no more babies in our house.

Doesn't get any sweeter than this....

Ahh, a day in the life.....

Ok, our life is absolutely crazy. Nuts I tell you, just nuts. I keep telling myself that we are inspiring two young scientists to be curious and test theories of gravity, etc., etc., etc...let me paint you the picture of a typical week for us.

Day 1: Cache sticks two peas up his nose and thinks it is so funny. "Mama, I pea in nose!" he says with pride. Come to find out, Asher has three stuck up his nose too; two in the left nostril and one in the right. (We have had two ER visits, two doctor visits, and one very frantic visit to Daddy's office to extract food from the boys' tiny nostrils.)

Day 2: We are in the middle of potty training so clothes right now are optional at our house. Asher streaks the front yard to "Pee on tree, Mama. I pee on tree!" without my consent. I know our neighbors get a nice laugh out of me running and screaming, "Asher, get back here! Put your clothes on!" All the while, Asher is running and laughing with pure delight.

Day 3: Can it get worse it is only Wednesday?? NEVER ask that question, because yes, it can always get worse. Cache is on nap strike and paints with poop. Yep, this happens at least once a week. Going pee-pee in the potty has been mastered by the boys, but going poop has not.

Day 4: It is so hot outside we stay inside all day. Soooo, Cache falls off the bed and knocks himself out. We visit the ER. Luckily, his head is the hardest part!

Day 5: Bye Bye Garbage truck!! Yes, Asher and Cache flushed their favorite garbage truck down the toilet. They loved it! They thought it was so funny.

Do I need to go on? Yes, this is a typical week.
