Random Pics

These are just a few random pics, but too cute not put on the blog.
This is what happens when you leave your child for too long while "coloring" with markers...she colored herself! Thank goodness for washable markers!

Mahlon and Sara Beth are loving riding their bikes...this night they made the entire loop around the neighborhood...3/4 mile!

And daddy, Mahlon and Sara Beth have a new Monday night tradition...PIZZA NIGHT! I teach a pilates class and I'm usually gone for about 1 hour 45 min so making pizza keeps everyone entertained! They help "mash" the dough, spread the sauce (which they end up eating most of), sprinkle the cheese...or what is left of it after they snack on it! And then they add topping...pepperoni or ham and pineapple. They have so much fun and look forward to it every Monday! And the little princess of course has her dress on!

MHC tea party

This summer our church had lots of events to entertain little ones while not in school. One of our favorites was the dress up tea party for moms and daughters. And Cinderella was the surprise guest!! Oh what fun! Sara Beth was a little scared at first, but once she realized she looked like Cinderella's "mini-me" she was smitten!! I think she sat in her lap most of the time when she wasn't slurping her pink lemonade or decorating her cupcake!! The girls had such a fun time and loved being all grown using REAL china!! Now she likes to have tea parties of her own every week!

A few more pictures from the birthday weekend!
Daddy Day brought Mahlon the choo-choo toy box on wheels that his dad(Great Granddaddy Day/Mahlon Wesley Day) built for him when he was a little boy, then Wesley used it when he was a child and now it is little Mahlon's turn!! How special to have something passed down through that many generations!



Also got some cute pictures of Aunt Lani and Uncle Brian with the kiddos and a quick snap of M. and S.B. tackling and wrestling Uncle Brian to the ground...I think the double days won!!

Growing up too fast!!

My babies aren't babies anymore!! I started looking back through pictures and oh how they have changed...chubby cheeks, rolly polly legs, Mahlon's bald head/Sara Beth's comb over! It's hard to believe that they weren't even 6 lbs when they were born and now Mahlon is 40 and Sara Beth is 36.5. They aren't preemies anymore!!
First picture without tubes/hoses in the NICU.

Love their sweet little booties in the air!

First family professional photo...3 months old

3rd birthday!!

I had so much fun looking back and can't believe how quickly they are growing up. We are truly blessed to have such precious, healthy children to love each and every day. And I am so thankful to have been blessed with twins...though they can be double trouble...I can't imagine life without them and I'm not quite sure what we did before them! I love you Mahlon and Sara Beth! XOXO

3rd Birthday!

We had such a fun birthday party and day!
The babies (or children I guess I have to call them that now!) woke up to a room full of streamers and balloons and a water slide in the backyard! We had a wonderful day with friends and family celebrating the "3"!
I was so busy playing I didn't get a whole lot of pictures!
Here are a few of the decorations...



Cheri made the cakes...Mahlon wanted a blue cake and Sara Beth wanted a pink cake so we tied them together with a toy box and all of their favorite characters!!


The water slide was a blast...Wesley, Brian, Sara Beth and I played on it for another hour after the party ended!

Time for cake and presents!

Birthday Part 2

Birthday Part 2 included both sets of grandparents and Aunt Lani and Uncle Brian...but it didn't begin until 9pm...once we returned from the E.R. with Mahlon!!
After a long and fun birthday party we realized Mahlon wasn't feeling well. He went down for a nap without any lunch, but after cake and ice cream and lots of snacks I thought that was normal. During his nap I checked on him and realized he was breathing funny! So by 4pm we were at the doctors office and 30 minutes later we were in the E.R. having xrays, steroids and 6 breathing treatments a little scary. Wild night at Children's hospital but they were great. Then we came home to a house full of people and lots more presents to open and a crazy child on lots of steroids.
Mahlon and Sara Beth both got REAL bikes from Doc and Cheri!! Lightening McQueen for Mahlon and a Princess bike for the Princess herself.

And Matching helmets and bells for their bikes from Aunt Lani

And a MSU cheerleader outfit with "real" pom poms and a MSU football jersey and football from mommy and daddy.

And Daddy Day built Sara Beth and Mahlon a dress up clothes rack...or as M. and S.B. call it a dress up castle stage. It holds all of the costumes, shoes etc. and provides them a place for hide and seek, singing, and it serves as a head board for Sara Beth's bed.


Our day started off great, had a little chaos in in the middle and ended with a house full of family and surprises and memories!

News from Mobile

We went down to Mobile to see Lani and Brian and...




wait for it...




Aunt Lani's Baby BUMP!!! Yes she is 13 weeks!! YAY!!!

It was a rainy weekend so we stayed in a lot!! We did go to the movies to see Winnie the Pooh!
We went out Saturday with their friends so they could share their news!! Everyone was so excited! We had BBQ at The Shed and the kids ran wild!! Mahlon really loved the motorcycle!

And Sara Beth really loved all of the attention she got from Uncle Brian!

And this is Aunt Lani and Uncle Brian opening their very first BABY PRESENT!!! And they had some good little helpers to show them what everything was!!


The "theme" of our gift was a good nights sleep! They got lullaby cd's, a sheet saver, some bedtime books, a sweet/soft baby sleeper...all things that a must at bedtime!!!

A good bedtime routine=happy baby=happy mommy and daddy!

We all can't wait til February 4th!!! HAPPY BABY Aunt Lani and Uncle Brian!!!

Oh and Mahlon says she is having a boy and Sara Beth thinks she is having a girl! We'll see who is right in a few weeks!!

mini-me

Mahlon LOVES to "mow the yard." He gets his truck and follows daddy whereever he goes. Sometimes it takes daddy just a little bit longer to mow because he has to take a lot of extra steps!
Literally he takes the exact same steps as Wesley!

And Sara Beth is a big helper too...she is the "water girl"! So Sweet!!

The second weekend in July is always the Thompson family reunion in Fayette, AL. We left Atlanta and headed to Fayette for a cookout on Saturday night and then a potluck lunch on Sunday!

Sissy was having a hard time pulling Brother around...he only weighs 40 lbs!!!

If there is a tractor somewhere Mahlon is going to find it!!


Don't have many pictures to show for it, but I have a few from the cookout and video of the twins singing on stage at the Fayette Civic Center...they loved entertaining everyone!!


Actually Mahlon did most of the entertaining...Sara Beth is going through a bit of a shy stage!


Jesus loves me and I love Sissy!
