The Twins' New Cousin

Today the twins' new cousin, Amelia came. The twins were not able to come and see her yet but they will meet her soon.

A Bit of the Outdoors

Today Patrick left to go to a work conference. The twins, Charlie and I headed up to Dayton to meet my family camping.

The twins got to ride the train with their cousins Morgan and Jake!

They also had a blast eating fruit snacks and playing with rocks!

Barker Fun Day

Today was "Barker Fun Day"! We started off going to the zoo. The twins had a blast seeing all the animals and playing. After the zoo we continued downtown to the Taste of Cincinnati. We sampled a ton of food and found the time to hit a few rides. Ethan loved the roller coaster but Elaine was much more fond of the motorcycles.

The twins also enjoyed the music and a lot of dancing!

Happy Birthday Phillip

This afternoon we headed over to Phillip's house to celebrate his 2nd birthday. The twins love going over to other people's houses and playing with their toys.

They were right on top of it when it was time to open presents. Not sure what they are going to do when it is Phillip's 3rd birthday and he can open presents by himself.

You can't see them but the twins were closely waiting for a piece of that cake.

Today the Barkers came into town for Phillip's birthday party tomorrow. First to arrive was Grandma and Grandpa. The twins had so much fun running them around the house.

It wasn't long before Donnie, Cate, George and Henry showed up! The kids had a great time running around the backyard and playing on the playset.

Bring On The Heat

The kids took advantage of the hot weather this evening and played in the sprinkler for a while. They had a blast!

Birthday Feast

Jamie, Mark and the kids came down to celebrate mine and Morgan's birthdays. We got a mess of crabs and the twins actually ate them this time! After dinner Morgan watched the kids while the adults went out for a drink. It was a great time!

Morgan's Birthday

Later that day we had Morgan's birthday party. The twins immediately ran outside to enjoy the nice day.

In addition to the regular crowd we got to hangout with Michael's girlfriend, Jen and her 7 year old twin girls, Jess and Kaitlyn. The twins had a blast playing with the girls.

After dinner and a lot of playing, the twins dove into some delicious cupcakes. Happy Birthday Morgan!

Our First Trip to Crabill's

Today the twins went on their first trip to Crabill's Hamburgers in Urbana. Of course they saw the chips and forgot about the hamburgers! There is always a next time I guess!

Easter Morning

The Easter Bunny hid the kids baskets and they had to find them.

After church and brunch, they spent the rest of the day counting their candies.

Uncle Michael comes over for Dinner!!

Tonight Uncle Michael come over for dinner and to color Easter Eggs with the kids. They had a blast coloring the eggs and putting Toy Story stickers on them.

Easter Egg hunt on Fountian Square

There was a break in the rain, a very little one, but we were able to make it dowtown to Fountian Square for the Easter Egg Hunt. It was a MADHOUSE of kids and parents running over the square to find 2000 eggs. The kids had fun since it was their real first time going downtown to see the "buildings" as Ethan calls it.

After our egg hunt, it was broken down into age groups, we decided to stay and watch the other age groups. You would not believe the people that would fight over a egg with a couple jelly beans in it. Someone actually called the police.... Glad we stayed to watch that.

Fun with the camera

Just messing around before bedtime posing for the camera.

Easter

Easter started off with a co-worker of Jenny's giving the kids some Easter Cupcakes that looked like bunnies. Of course, they loved them!

Stay out of the Backyard!

The kids cousin Morgan was nice enough to lend them her old Power Wheels car. At first, they would either go in circles or just run into things. They are getting better by the day! Just wish this rain would stop so they can get out and play with it agian.

A Week at Disney

This weekend we headed to Disney World with the twins' Aunt Cate, Uncle Don, George and Henry. We had a blast. The kids had such a good time hanging out with each other and getting to share some Disney magic!

Something New!

It was alot of fun to watch Ethan and George try Pixi sticks. Little did they know, I picked out the sour flavors!

DISNEYWORLD!!!

Jenny has been waiting for this day all her life, taking her kids to Disneyworld. Here are a couple pictures and we will follow up with more later.
