The Botanical Gardens

Hey!! This morning I took the girls on a trip to the Botanical Gardens at Riverbanks Zoo. I really wanted to get some good pictures of them with the flowers...but apparently my girls take after me WAYYY too much and enjoy PEOPLE WATCHING!!! So...(Julie this is just for you) here are some of their pictures and what I would guess they're thinking by the looks on their faces! I hope you enjoy!!

"OH MY GOSH! Did you see what that girl was wearing?!"

"OHHHH....Kimberly quick...look over here! That boy is CUTE!"

"ACK! He's a little scary looking, please hold my hand!"

"Well Mommy didn't bring popcorn to eat during the show, so I'll just munch on this stick."

"What in the world are they doing? I'm not so sure about that."

"Ok I think I'm going to go for it...I'm going to wave at him, maybe he'll come over and talk to me."

"HEY!!! Hey you...LOOK AT ME!!" "Please come and talk to my sister so she'll stop!"

"Ok Kimberly...thats enough! You're making a fool of yourself!"

"I don't know what you're thinking! I am NOT going to do that!"

"HEY!! Look at me!! Aren't I a CUTIE?!"

"Mommy HELP US! The plants are going to eat us!"

"Mommy I have a question....Can we please go, I'm getting HOT!"

We had a great time at the gardens....but I think we'll have to go back when Daddy is with us to help get some more pictures. It was a lot of work trying to get both girls to look at me, keep them from eating dirt AND snap a picture. Hopefully we'll have some more for you soon!!

Have a great day!

The rest of our house!

Hey everyone!! We hope you are having a fantastic Monday! Things our way are going fantastic. We went back to SLBC (South Lexington Baptist Church) this weekend after missing a week, and we were actually missed by SEVERAL people! Which says a lot for having only been to the church twice previously! Although...I think people missed the girls more then us, apparently people were asking where the couple with the twin girls were. But its ok. We've joined a Sunday School Class there and are enjoying getting to know some people. This week is VBS and they actually have an adult class, so we are going and we are getting to know even more people, we even found some NCSU fans...which is hard to come by around here. I tried to be all smart and jump in a conversation last thing where they were talking about Carolina...and of course I thought they were talking about UNC, but around here Carolina is USC! Oh well! I'll learn eventually!!

On another note...John spoke to the music minister yesterday in regards to playing his guitar
with the praise band. So, please be praying that if this is where God would have John to serve that all the doors be opened. John is VERY excited about the possibility of playing his guitar on a regular basis again!!

Anyway...we have finally gotten around to taking some pictures of the rest of the house, so we hope you enjoy!

Here is the hallway bathroom. Don't you just love the Disney Princess Shower Curtain. Not really much to see here, its just a small, simple bathroom.

Here is the girls room. Their room is much smaller here then it was at the apartment, so we had to put the cribs side by side. So far this seems to be working out...we'll see what happens as they get older.

Of course, we can't leave out their beautiful butterflys and their special bookcase made by Daddy!

And here are our pictures painted by Aunt Bri! I don't really like the position they're hanging in right now, but that wall had some blemishes that need to be painted over, so until we can fix those, the pictures are hiding them for now.

And this is our spare room. In here you'll find the eliptical machine, girls toys, a pack n play...

Our bookshelf and our desk. Its not the most organized room, but it serves its purpose!

And here is the master bedroom. Its hard to get a good shot of the room, but you can get the general idea.

And the master bath...this is what you see when you enter (the shower is to the left of the towels)

We love the big counter top on the sink:

And the nice big bathtub! This is real handy for bathing the girls...and for when Mommy needs a relaxing bubble bath!! (The thing in the tub right now is the seat that we use when bathing the girls...it makes it SO much easier to stay kneeled down that long. And yes the rubber duckys are for the girls, not Mommy).

We hope you have enjoyed these photos. If you want to see some more detailed ones of the house, just go here:

Have a great day!!

Hey!

Hey everyong!! Sorry we haven't updated much, we've been too busy enjoying our new house. Mommy and Daddy have finally finished unpacking everything, and hopefully will be putting up some pictures of the rest of the house soon. For now, enjoy these pictures of us:

We love taking baths like big girls...its so much fun to splash around!!

Is that my sister, or is there a mirror beside my crib?

It's too much fun playing...we can't even stop to nap.

Kathyrn has decided that it is much more fun to eat sideways.

Our friends Bella and Zander came over to play in our pool last week. Bella didn't like the water at first, but it didn't take long and we were all splashing around. (For those that don't remember Bella and Zander are our friends that are also twins that were born the day after us).

Here is Miss Kimberly..trying to show off her 2 teeth, if you look real hard you can see them.

Kathryn wants to show you her teeth too...they're a little easier to see.

Daddy sure does make us laugh!!

We hope you enjoyed!! Have a fantastic day! :)

Our New House :)

Hey Everyone! We want to show you around our new house. We only have pictures of half the house today....stay tuned for the rest in a few days. Please come with us and we'll show you around:


Our bright front door...I think its the brightest in the neighborhood, but we love it!! (Plus it matches the shutters and the living room walls)









We have really enjoyed being outside lately! We can now grill out and enjoy our own backyard:



The girls LOVE their swings!! You should just hear them laugh when they're swing!!


If you want to see some closer up pictures you can go here and see the rest: http://s149.photobucket.com/albums/s67/jenkatjones/House/

Here we are on Mothers Day about to go to church:


Here we are playing in our living room:


After a long day's playing we just end up sacked out!! (Notice where they are...they're starting to scoot themselves around!!!)


Thanks for visiting!! We'll update soon with more pictures!

6th Months...WOW! :)

Hey everyone! We've got a lot to say tonight...so grab a cup of coffee and ENJOY! :)

First off...we turned 6 months old yesterday...can you believe it?! Wow!! It feels like just yesterday Mommy and Daddy were bringing us home from the hospital. We have grown SO much! We had our 6 month well visit today with the doctor and other then the shots everything was great. Kathryn is now 17 pounds 3 ounces and 27 inches tall. Kimberly is 16 pounds 9 ounces and 26.25 inches tall. The doctor says we are beautiful and growing right on schedule!

In other big news...Kathryn got her first tooth on Friday. Its not quite big enough for us to get a picture of yet, but don't worry we'll get you a picture when we can! Kimberly does not have a tooth yet, but the doctor said it looks like it will be here soon. Since we are now 6 months old, the doctor told Mommy to start feeding us things other then just rice cereal and oatmeal. So, tonight we had our first vegetables. Since Daddy's favorite veggie is green beans, we thought we would start with that. We'll let you see the pictures and decide for yourself if we really liked it.

Here is Kathryn's first bite:


And this was her reaction:


Here is Kimberly's first bite:


And this was her reaction:


So, as you can see, green beans were not a very big hit tonight. But, hopefully after a few more tries we will begin to like them.

Also, the doctor agreed that we were getting pretty squashed in our infant car seats, so Mommy and Daddy bought us new car seats tonight. These are the convertible kind so that we can still be rear facing for another 6 months, but then we will hopefully be able to keep these for a few more years. We LOVE our new seats. We have so much more room and they are soooo comfy!
Check us out:


Also, we would like to say a GREAT big THANK YOU!!!! to Miss Julie for coming all the way down here this weekend to help Mommy and Daddy pack!! We are soo excited about our new house (we move in 3 days! YAY!). Mommy says that Miss Julie was a BIG help and she doesn't think she would have made it in time without her help! THANKS Miss Julie! :)


Tonight, we got to give Mommy her 1st Mothers Day Present from us. We decided to go take a family portrait and then Daddy let Mommy pick out her favorite family pose and we ordered a nice canvas print to hang up in our new house. We had a lot of fun taking pictures with Mommy and Daddy! Aren't we a cute family?


Then we also got to take a picture with just Mommy and just Daddy:



Then Mommy and Daddy took one of them alone:


Of course we also had to have one in front of the dogwoods:


Now, this last one is Mommy's favorite. If only we were really at the beach....


We hope you enjoyed all of our pictures!!! We probably won't get a chance to post again until after we move. We hope you all have a great day!

Just Enjoying Life...

Hey!! Sorry we haven't updated much lately. We're trying to get all packed up to move to our new house. Hopefully after we get moved and settled then we will be able to update more. But, just to keep you all happy, here are a few new pictures. The girls are growing SOO fast. They are sitting up all on their own and just having a blast playing with all their toys. They love to be outside, so we're trying to take advantage of that as much as we can before the summer gets too hot!! We hope you are all doing ok! Come visit us, we would love to see you!!!!

Here we are helping Mommy pack some boxes:


Here we are all dressed up for church at the Brock's house:


Here we are stylin with our new shades while walking around the zoo:


And here is what happens after a long visit at the zoo (She pushed the sunglasses on top of her head all by herself):
