6 months & More!

Karis & Kelsie celebrated their 6 month birthday on the 23rd! It just so happens that we were able to celebrate with my family in Reno! We were there from the 21st-26th. I would've posted my travel plans before now, but our intention for going was to surprise my little sister & attend her baby shower. She's having a little boy (Marek) on Dec.10th! The twins were prefect travelers & had everyone oogling! They slept most of the way there & back which was a huge blessing!  Here are a few pictures of our trip.

 Celebrating 6 months!

 I wanted a picture of them beside their cake, not in it. I had no idea that they would dive in like they did. It was as if they knew it was a sweet treat.

Army Uncles

Uncle Jeff is here in Texas for a few weeks but sadly, we will not be able to see him. He's in El Paso. He gave us these outfits & we miss him. Uncle Mark also just went into the Army. We wish him all the best! 

Here's my 5 1/2 month old camo cuties! 

Sweet Expressions

We were playing around with Mommy's pearls. Just had to share a couple of the funny faces that were captured. Very expressive girls!

Good Times!!

Yesterday was a memory maker day! 

1) Daddy got to cash in his Father's Day gift & go to the Cubs/ Astros game in Houston! He wanted to take the girls, but I convinced him to do so next time :)  He went with his Dad! And we caught a glimpse of them on TV!! 

Dad & Granddad at the game! Right behind the Cubs bleachers; highlighted in blue!

 2) Due to the beautiful weather, Mommy decided that it was high time we had a picnic! So with no bibs & no worries, we made a wonderful, filthy mess of ourselves & had a blast doing so! Our lunch alfresco was quickly followed by bath time. This will definitely be a repeated event! Too Fun!!

WHAT A MESS!!

   "Hey, you have something on your face!"

 "Yes, sister...I know. You do too."

 Quite the pair!

 Such Happy Girls!

 Love the li'l tongue!

 Fun Memories!

3) Mommy has been on the lookout for some infant costumes because sadly, the peas in a pod have become too uncomfortably small. I found some and they are the cutest!!! I can't reveal what they are, so y'all will have to wait, but I'm excited!!
