Just Call Me....."DARE-DEVIL"

During our "European Vacation" in September we traveled to a wonderful town called Grindewald. It is a gorgeous mountain town in Switzerland! We arrived at night and woke up the next morning with a view of the Eiger from our hotel balcony. It was amazing! We were only there for a short amount of time, but the weather was beautiful and we enjoyed a day filled with lots of adventures! We took the gondolas up to First and hiked around a bit. Then Matt and I decided to do the zip line! Woohoo! It was a quite scary, but so much fun! Before we had a chance to head back down the mountain Matt decided he wanted to paraglide! It took him (and his guide) 3 tries to jump off the mountain. Each time my stomach turned and I could not look! We got some great photos of him and met him at the bottom! What a fun day it was! I would love to go back with the boys someday!

"Monkey"ing Around!

The boys and I had a great day today! We went to the YMCA this morning and I had a good workout while they played in the childcare room. It rained this morning before we went and then again after naptime! Boo! We wanted to get outside and play, but were stuck indoors instead. We had popcorn for snack, colored, played with stickers, crawled through the tunnel, etc. It was a lot of fun just hanging out and being silly with the boys. Patrick had a work dinner tonight so I was on "mommy duty" from 7-7! They were so good for me tonight. We had dinner, bath and played a bit more before bedtime! Here are a few photos of my two silly monkeys!

19 month old stats!

We went to the doctor last week for the boys 18 month check up (even though they are actually 19 months). They are getting so big and I thought I would share their stats with you all!

Miles -

24lbs. 4 oz. 18% ( I can't believe that he is the 18th percentile for weight) :)

33" 65%

Head Circumference - 19 1/2" 85%

Oliver -

26lbs. 1 oz. 45%

33" 65%

Head 19 1/2" 85%

They are doing well and keeping us busy! The last few weeks they have been a bit sick. Miles first and then Oliver. Just fever....no other symptoms. It got up to about 103.5 at the highest though. We took them both to the doctor and they just thought it was a virus of some sort. It made them very cranky and just wanted to be held a lot! I am thinking that their 2 yr. molars are starting to make their way through the gums. Poor babies. Pretty soon they will have a full set of teeth! Hard to believe! While we were in the doctor's appointment she asked about how many words the boys are saying. I am a terrible estimator and I said, "Oh, around 20 or so." Then she stepped out for a minute and I had a chance to rethink that statement! I though, clearly that is not right. When she came back in the room I told her it was way more than that. That evening I came home and made a list! We are close to 100 words! At least! And they are adding to that list everyday! It is amazing! Miles says, "Thank you so much" when he puts something in the trash can and "Bless You" when people sneeze. Priceless! Oliver loves to say "Mama water, mama car, Dada car, Molly Come! (in a demanding voice), and on and on. They are so much fun to be around b/c they are changing so much each day! The other day we were leaving HEB and I said, "bye, bye HEB"....Miles replied, "bye, bye, ABC!"

They also know their names! Oliver will point to his chest and say "Obiber"! It is adorable. When people ask them their names they can point at their self and say their own name! It is very helpful for those who still have trouble telling them apart!

They are precious babies and we are so thankful to have them in our lives!
