Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween to all our family and friends. We dressed the girls up and my mom came over in the morning for a few minutes to see the girls before we went to Jeffs parents house so they could see the girls. The girls great grandma was there so it was nice to see everyone! Here are our little bugs!


Jillian is a bee and Ashlyn is a ladybug. I made a deal with Jeff that each year we would switch off choosing their costumes until the girls were old enough to tell us what they wanted to be. So next year is Jeffs turn.

Happy Halloween from all of us!

First Time Eating

So the girls got their first taste of Rice Cereal in a bowl and eating with a spoon. They have tasted cereal before when they were about a month old in their bottles it was to help with Ashlyn's reflux and we also gave Jillian some. We only did that for a few weeks because it seemed to bother their stomachs. So when I took the girls in for their 6 month appt their pediatrician wanted us to wait to feed them cereal until they were 7 months actual age/6 months adjusted. Although the girls will be 7 months in a few days Jeff and I decided to give them cereal this weekend. We had a sense they were ready because at dinner they would stare at us eating and would open their mouths when we would. We had such a good time feeding them and the girls loved it. Especially Ashlyn we can't feed her the cereal fast enough and she loves to get all messy with it. Jillian likes it as well, but likes to stay clean.


Jillian first time in her high chair


Ashlyn first time in her high chair


Yumm food


Ashlyn wondering what Daddy is giving her


Jillian happy with what she is eating


Ashlyn wanted to keep her hands in her mouth while she was eating





Ashlyn really liking it Jeff couldn't feed her fast enough. She loved it.


Ashlyn is pretty much licking from the bowl





All done she cleaned her bowl


Jillian taking it slower. Its funny because Jillian can drink her bottle so fast and Ashlyn takes her time at drinking her bottle and then with eating cereal Ashlyn eats it fast and Jillian takes her time


Almost done


Yeah! Our first night eating and they did so good.

Our Little Pumpkins!

We took the girls to the Pumpkin Patch. I just wanted to get some pictures of them. It was right before their nap time so they were not interested in being there at all. We showed them the little John Deere tractors, the petting zoo, the big slides and nothing. Ashlyn cried she was ready to go the minute we sat down for the pictures. But hey at least I got some pictures.

I think I am thinking yep this is going to be fun with one crying

Quick smile for the camera


Ashlyn was done with pictures. Just Jillian and I


Who knows what was so funny just Jeff making me laugh!


All better after our nap

Random Pictures

These pictures are just pictures of the girls throughout the last couple of weeks. I just came across some of them when going through the camera.

Jeff took this when he was watching the girls on a Saturday morning. I went out shopping to test drive strollers. Yes its like buying a car I even came home with brochures its crazy the double strollers that are out there. This is right before the USC game. I am supposed to get the girls in their USC shirts during game day so they can be in them all day. I guess I only half listened to Jeff about that rule because Jillian wasn't ready. hahaaa.

Watching mom wash my bottles


I want my picture taken!


Laughing at Daddy. Her laugh just melts us.


Jillian waking up Ashlyn. No they don't share cribs I put Jillian in there to wake Ashlyn up. I know thats mean, but we had an appointment and Ashlyn needed to get ready.








Watching Monday Night Football
