Helena Fair

Last weekend, we had a great time at our local fair. The Helena Intermediate school puts on a great carnival. We went Friday night and Saturday afternoon. That is why the girls are wearing two different outfits.

Taylor was happy about wearing this hat until I got the camera out.

It sure is cute, isn't it.

Our big girls love to swing.

Hey Addison.

The girls' first cotton-candy. They loved it.

Our girls got some early practice driving.

The girls loved driving.

Happy Birthday.

Saturday we had a great birthday party. Addison and Taylor were visited by their wonderful family and friends. Thanks to all for their love and support. Taylor

Addison.

This morning the girls were greeted with the beautiful singing of Mommy and Daddy. "Happy birthday to the two of you..." Mommy fixed some birthday cinnamon rolls. Yummy. The girls loved it.

Happy Birthday to You Two.My Beautiful Ladies.

After a heathy breakfast...the family went to the McWane Science Center. The girls seemed to have a wonderful time. We experienced great science and learning activites. At the end of our time at the McWane Center we went to see the an IMAX movie "Under the Sea". There was a fish which shot its tougue out to capture food. Taylor was so frightened by this sudden shot. She started crying during the film. This happened three or four times. Each time Taylor's bottom lip would poke out and she would start crying. She would not allow me to cover her eyes or let me turn her around. She wanted to see it regardless of how much it scared her.

McWane Center was a great experience, especially on this rainy day.

Construction

The girls are approaching the big "0" "2". Time sure has flown. It seems like just yesterday Jennifer was first holding Addison and Taylor together in the NICU at Children's. We are working on plans for the girls' birthday party. We have also just constructed a playset for the girls in the back party. Poppy and Nina provide most of the material and manual labor for the playset and Granny and Pawpaw Pope provide the slide. Thanks to everyone for the help. Here are some pictures.Thanks Poppy, Nina, Granny and Pawpaw. The girls love their playset and can't wait till you all come over and play with them.
Check out the little helpers.

Here is the Inspector. Do you have a permit for this construction?

True Construction Worker.

Do I see Plumber's Crack????? Don't be ashamed.


We are still working on filling in the swings.

August Updates

We are finally painting our bedroom. This gold color has been in our room since we first moved in. Now, thanks to the help of Jason Leight we have begun the removal of this color. Thanks Jason. Would not have done it without you.

Addison and Taylor getting ready for their first day at Daycare. It is so hard to see them go but they have done great and seem to really enjoy it.

No. An apple, not a banana.

Lily and Iris came over to visit Addison and Taylor. Taylor and (I think) Iris really were tired and wanted to help each other go to sleep. Awe how sweet.

It's a twin girl thing.

Thanks Jake and Rachel for your help with the bathroom problem, and thanks for bringing the family over to hang out.

What are you looking at?

Decisions, decisions.

We are faced with a decision to make. Jennifer and I want to have storage space in the girls' playroom. However, we are not sure how we should design the space. We want to make the space cute and usable. Please post a comment and let us know which options you like the best. Please excuse the rough images. I had to draw this in MSPaint. My Publisher is not working at he moment.

Four Sets of Shelves, two cabinest and three chests.four sets of shelves, two cabinets and one chestTwo sets of shelves, two areas for pictures, full bench with large chest and two cabinetsYou get the idea.

Let us know what you think about these options. I would love as much input as possible. Also please ignore the color combinations and my artistic style, but if you have any color suggestions we would also appreciate.
