Memorial weekend fun!

We had a great weekend and played outside lots! The babies love to be outside which is something I don't get to do as much as I want when I am by myself because it's hard to chase them both alone! Unless we are playing in a fenced in backyard or I have help, it's just walks in the stroller for mommy and the babies! Brad and I have talked about trying to fence in a little area of our yard for them to play during the day when I am home with them. We pretty much spent the whole weekend with my family in Cicero chasing babies in my sisters yard. The babies had a full weekend of taking rides in their wagon (they call it their "wee") , jumping on a trampoline and swimming. It was a good weekend and reminded me why I love summers in Indiana. TN summers were not as pleasant for me. The humidity was much worse, I probably would have never let the babies run bare foot in the grass in TN! The grass there is much different then it is here! Anyway...here are a few pics from our fun weekend!

I'm back!

I thought I was locked out of my blog forever! I tried for a couple of days to post a new blog and it wouldn't let me log on. I still have no idea why, I thought it was because I no longer have the email address that is my user ID. But I tried tonight and it worked! I was so afraid I was gonna have to start all over! Anyway...it's almost June and that is so crazy. We have been in Indiana for 3 months now and it seems like we have been here forever. We are loving it still! We feel so blessed to be where we are at in life right now. Our house back in TN sold and we close in a few days, that is such a huge wait lifted. Brad loves his job and can't imagine ever being back in a warehouse again. We get to see each other so much more with the church being just around the corner from the house we are in, he has Friday's off (most of the time, unless it's a busy week!) We get to see family tons more, I have met new friends as well as met up with old friends. A couple of weeks ago I went on a women's retreat with the ladies from church and it was amazing. The church has a great group of women that have made me feel totally welcome and at home. Ok...enough about us, I'm sure you want me to get to the babies! Lilly and Asher.....oh where do I even begin. Asher is still my sweet sensitive boy and Lilly is still my drama queen! (she is for sure turning out to be quite the handful). She says lots of words now, at least it seems like lots...let me see if I can make a quick list:

NO! (one of her favorites)

hi

bye

ut-oh

Shelly

Asher

so

I got her out of her car seat one day and looked at her and said "whats up" and so now she has shortened it to "sup"
momma

dadda

papa

nana

thank you

shoe

ball

ok....maybe there are too many to list. She will also try to repeat words and names you tell her to say.

Asher doesn't say as many, he is too busy laughing and acting goofy to care about talking. A few of his words are:

Bye bye

hi (his favorite)

momma

dadda
nana

1...2...3 ( he loves to count to 3, although most times it comes out 2...2....3)

all done

ball

They are so much fun right now as well as so much work! Lilly loves to dance and has some pretty good moves I must say! Asher dances too and will also try to sing when we sing to him. They both love to play outside, Lilly discovered she loves slides and Asher isn't real sure about them. They played in a sandbox for the first time the other day at my friend April's house and that was pretty fun until Asher decided to start eating handfuls of sand! I finally had to take him out and he would still try and sneak over and grab a handful and start to put it in his mouth. Well I could go on and on but I will save it for another day, this one is long enough , plus I need to post a few pics! Love to you all!
