Ok, so ignore the white blur on my mom's camera!  But these 2 cuties were SOOO excited to go to my cousin's wedding and party.  Connor kept imitating the movie Rio and saying I wanna party!  

My three sweeties in the pretty hills of southeast Nebraska!  You don't realize it until you are there how much you miss hills in the flat middle of Nebraska.

So, the 2 year olds got a bit bored at the wedding and played peek a boo!

The bubbles were a big hit with the kids!

The pretty bride!

So, sisters hugging brother or choking.  It was a day of love so will go with hugging!

The kids had SO much fun dancing and did not want to stop.  The twirled, spun and tore up the dance floor!

Claire was trying to give Connor a kiss and he said eww!

The twins dancing.

Cheese!

Connor likes to line things up, his cars or in this case the chairs.  He then would climb on them and jump off. Sometimes with a little push from his sister!

She stuck that landing!

On the say home Connor asked if he could go do that dancing again tomorrow!  So, who wants us to come tear up the dance floor at the next wedding??

Land of the free because of the BRAVE!

Happy Birthday America!  

Do you think these little twins of mine would let me get a picture of them...nope!  Not, without a big ol truck in the picture.  That Connorman.  He sure is stubborn when it comes to taking pictures if he wants to be!  Then sometimes he is a complete flirt.  ugh

Little Claire has turned into my photo girl.  She asks to have her picture taken.

We took a little trip to walk around a lake.  These kids of mine loves exploring.  We will be taking a picnic lunch back out so they can explore when we have more time.  

I love how in this picture Claire is cuddled to Laney but has total eye contact with Connor.  How did I get so lucky to have such cuties?

What.is.that???  All three looking at the camera.  No way!

Now, with a pretty background think they'd repeat that?  Nope!  Sillies!

The loved picking up rocks and sticks and throwing them in the lake.

Hmm...a little diva on my hands in the 5 year old of mine.

This guy spent HOURS on the 4th of July collecting rocks and throwing them in the lake.  If it resembles a sport he is in.  

Seriously, when did she grow up so much?

Connor has a good supply of sticks to throw to the fish!

They are saying Happy 4th of July!!

My pretty girl...

And the other one...

Shouting at something?

We had a great 4th of July.  We watched fireworks at my Grandma's on the 3rd and went to Jeff's uncles on the 4th.  These kids of mine officially have their sleep schedules messed up after being up 2 nights in a row until 11pm!

What a bond...

What a bond twins have.  These two have never known what it is like to not have each other by their side.  (except for that 2 night stint in the hospital) They have such a cute relationship.  I love this series of pictures.  All i wanted was a cute picture and they (as usual) teamed up against me and were complete goofballs.  That is better than fighting!  I think you can see how close they are and the love they have for each other.

Zoe dog photo bomb!

Claire is saying "say cheese Connuh"

He listened and is saying cheese! (the yellow thing is Laney's night time potty pager.  I thought I'd give it shot with potty training Claire.  It didn't work!

The just adore each other.  They finish each other sentences and always know what the other one is up to.  Not sure how I got so lucky as to be their mom!

Summer so far...

So, now that summer is here these kids of mine like to spend as much time in the water as they can!  Just like their me when I was little.  

Here they are with their cousin in the baby pool at Meme and Papa's.

Claire at the local wading pool.

Connor is the only one brave enough to dump water on his head.

Laney used the bucket to protect herself from the waterfall.

Each morning our routine is to eat breakfast, get dressed and go for a walk.  Sometimes going for a walk takes a LONG time because to 2 year olds there are A LOT of interesting things to find!

The twins have been very good at Laney's softball games.  They mainly play in the dirt and rocks.  Sometimes they cheer for their big sister!

After softball treat.  Note to self ice cream may be a kid reward but it is a parent disaster.  Ugh...thank goodness they needed baths anyhow.

Claire is such a little princess.  On one of our morning walks she had to have her baby.  She is such a good little mama to her babies.  Also very important to Claire are her shoes.  Most times she wears Laney's flip flops that are 2 sizes too big.  This time she HAD to have her sparkle Dorothy shoes.  That girl is a cutie.  I'm kind partial!

Father's Day

So these kids pretty much hit the daddy and grandpa lottery!  This guy adores his kids and is an awesome daddy!

Papa Dave is such a great Grandpa.  Not only did these 3 kids of mine get lucky with their daddy they have the two best grandpas that any kid could ask for.

Riding the mower with daddy is one of Conman's favorite things!

Look at this guy.  This was his first hold of both twins shortly after they were born.  Can't you just see how much he adores them?

I was a lucky lucky girl to grow up with guy as my Dad.  He is onrey and stubborn but man, he is the best!! He taught me to golf, run and throw like the boys, be helpful and kind and most importantly he raised my sister and I always telling us we could do anything any boy could do.  Claire says she is Papa Roger's girlfriend and will not let anyone else have that title!  Here he is when he first met Connor.
