Two for Tuesday

Cody had to have his picture taken with Diesel!

Two for Tuesday

It seems like the moment my camera appears out for me to take picture of Chase and Cody being funny...these little boys come out instead to be goofy in front of the camera. I can't tell you how many pictures I have like this...

Eye's closed and even putting their hand's on their eyes. Nice boys thanks! That is a picture that I want to hang on my wall!

Why can't they just open their eye's, how cute of a picture that would of been with his favorite dinosaurs!

Or I get a whole bunch like this...one completely hiding and the other trying to smile but just hadn't gotten there yet when I snap the picture. But with all the bizarre picture above, I normally can get one of them smiling and a keeper picture like this one of Chase...

So it's worth all the pictures that I take.

Picture from Easter at our house. Chase and Tatum riding their quads and holding the new pinwheels they had got in their Easter baskets.

Notice that Tatum is wearing her Minnie Mouse dress that I made her also! It fits good and is pretty cute on her!

The two of them love playing together!

Chase and Cody have been asking to go back to a little working farm that we pass everyday on our way to school. Victoria Gardens is only open on the weekends, and lately our weekends have been busy so it's always when we have time. I took the time on Saturday and we went.

They had a blast. They absolutely love the giant slide and didn't want to get off. We bought enough tickets for them to stay on for 20 minutes, and they enjoyed every bit of it. The weather was perfect for sliding jumping and petting bunnies in the petting zoo.

Here is Chase and Cody getting off the slide ready to it again.


Play along with Debi here:

Cody going down the giant slide, I don't know if you can see the giant smile on his face, but it was there!
Chase trying to hide from me and my camera in the giant obstacle course. Another thing that they spent some time on!

They had a blast and maybe for a week or so I won't hear "Mom, can we go there again?". Instead I will hear "Mom, we had fun." "We did that slide, and we went super fast."

Trying to get back into a routine and posting many pictures that I have. Starting today with my twosome! Play along here:

Chase and Cody on Easter at my Cousins wife's parents house where we spent Easter.

They were having a great time playing with their yo-yo's! Cody can't *yet* roll up his string in his yo-yo so Chase does it for him.

On Sunday, while the boys where staying out of the rain, I captured this picture of the two of them together. It's hard these days to have them in the same picture. They were watching dad and the motorhome get pulled out of the soft sand where we were camped.

Since my Uncle Steve has been here fixing up and remodeling my grandma's house and bathroom, we have gone to Home Depot a few times. Chase and Cody think this is a pretty fun shopping trip because of the cool baskets with steering wheels. Also they drive and make sure that I am not going to run into anything while I am pushing the cart!

But the other day my Uncle had a big type push cart and they rode underneath the wood that he needed... which leads to my Two for Tuesday picture...

They thought this was so much fun! I made sure that all hands and feet were up before my uncle pushed it.

Chase and Cody from Pop's party this weekend. We were outside wearing off some energy before the sun went down. I just wish that they both would look at the camera at the same time. Cody was saying "Cheese" but then looking away! Oh well, still a sweet picture that proves that Chase really loves Cody!

Play along also with Debi by posting your picture with your two-some in it!

We had an awesome weekend, taking the 3-day weekend to go to the desert. Meet up with some friends, do some jeeping and rhino putting around, and the boys were riding their quads!

This weekend I didn't get a bunch of pictures of the boys together just a bunch of individual ones, but I did snap this one as they were getting ready for a put around in the rhino on Sunday.

They are learning how to put the seat belts together, so Chase was concentrating on that.

Hope everyone has a great day!

We love forts around here. Lately we have been making one once a week or so. Lots of blankets and pillows and then we play house and trucks inside of them. We even try to get Diesel to play along inside our forts, most of the time he just looks at us.

So yesterday it got to be a okay day to be outside. It all started when Chase and Cody wanted to bring their Spiderman and Mickey Mouse blankets outside so they can lay down on the platform of the slide. Okay, but nothing else I tell them. They wanted to take off their shoes so they wouldn't get mud on their beloved blankets. Okay, but don't get down without shoes on. I am then bringing them out more blankets because they wanted to have a roof over them and also more blankets for a picnic lunch. So they had their lunch sitting under the blankets and playing with toys. They had a great time and it lasted all afternoon. Them playing up there for a little while and then getting down, mostly with their shoes on, and then going back up.

There were still some Mickey Mouse watching going on in my motorhome throughout the weekend even though it was a beautiful day outside with lots of dirt to be dug in.

Multiples and More blog posted a recipe a couple of weeks ago this recipe for Blueberry Coffee Cake.

We were bored at night a few weeks ago and I had all the ingredients, so we made the cake. The boys had a great time rolling the dough in the butter and the cinnamon/sugar.

The cake tasted very good afterwards also. I served it to them with some vanilla ice cream for desert. They liked it but really liked the vanilla ice cream better! I had some the next morning and it was very tasty and moist!

Here they are with the it before it went into the oven for cooking.

Yesterday, we were stuck inside all day due to a huge rain storm that is moving through the area. So I needed to think how do I keep them entertained all day without being able to play outside in the dirt.

Just for these type of days I had bought a water painting book. I remember doing them as a child and when I found them at Michael's I was so happy. I brought out the water and the books


and they started to paint. At first, they didn't get that they didn't get to make a mess with real paint and not get it on their hands and fingers. I showed them how it worked. Chase loved it! He did one entire book of Mickey and Friends pages and would have done more if I had let him!

Cody on the other hand, thought it was just not physical enough for him and went back to jumping and running around. Asking if he could go outside and sneaking outside without any shoes, socks or a jacket on. He did after a while, "help" Chase finish his. But that was the only way that he would do it - was helping his brother get his project done.

Hopefully I have more projects like this that I can bring out for a bunches of rain headed our way!

Christmas Tree Purchasing / Two for Twos-day

I am using this picture as my Two for Twos-day picture!

Standing in front of our beautiful Christmas tree... as the story continues...

Cody standing perfectly good for a picture. Something that lately he has been wanting to do. He will even say cheese.

It seems like to run around a Christmas tree farm, thank god it was fenced in, was the greatest thing ever! The second best thing was to hide from mom and dad while shopping for Christmas tree and giggle and run the other way from them. Good thing that we were the only one's there and they weren't bothering anyone.

On the way to the Christmas tree farm, Cody was telling me that he wanted to baby tiny tree and Chase wanted a BIG tree, something that daddy would have to cut and use a saw on to get it into our house.

So when Cody found this little tree, he was set and ready to go...until he found the mud...

look at his knees. Yes, did I mention that we had got about 1.5" of rain the night and morning before we went to the dirt Christmas Tree Lot. Did you know that a lot of dirt turns to a lot of mud when put rain to it? Well, Chase and Cody had a blast playing with the Christmas tree's and the mud!

What could be better then a awesome smile once we had picked out our Christmas tree and were ready to go! Oh by the way, when we got the tree home did we realize that the tree we settled on had a tinted purple flocking on it not just a white flocking on it! It is still a pretty tree.

From this Thanksgiving...Steve and Big K setting up one of the deep fryers used to cook one of the 5 turkeys we deep fried for our huge Thanksgiving dinner!

We had about 50 people and a huge long table all put together out in the middle of nature in the middle of the desert. Where the sky was as beautiful as possible and the weather was perfect!!

The other weekend at the desert, Chase drove around Tatum in Tatum's Barbie Jeep. They are trying to find a radio station in the jeep that had country music on. Yes teh jeep has a real FM radio in it. In the desert it doesn't pick up anything but Spanish music but they love that Jeep!

Chase 3 years old

Tatum 2 years old
