Another UC Victory

We went to the UC game and had a great time tailgating with friends and family! The bearcats beat Illinois and we're off to Pittsburg next weekend for the last game of the season.

Turkey Day

We had so much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. Mainly, we're just thankful to be parents. We realize how lucky we are to have two healthy, happy little girls and couldn't be more grateful! We celebrated turkey day with both Jon's family and mine. Ava and Kennedy got new outfits to wear. My goal was to get a picture of the four of us together because we don't have any. However, Ava had different plans. Before we could get a picture, she pooped all over her outfit and was in her pajamas by 3:00! SO, lessoned learned...get the pictures as soon as the girls are dressed!

Bottles and Beer

Jon and I have found the perfect solution for dealing with twin newborns....

Actually, the girls are really good but a little beer never hurt anyone, right?
Kennedy and Ava went to their first UC tailgate this past weekend. I missed the first game since my college days and took them home when the game started. They loved tailgating though. They slept right through the band playing and the cheerleaders yelling. The picture of Ava doesn't show it but she does have her UC hat on. We loved showing off our future bearcat fans and can't wait to take them to their first game. If the weather is nice, they'll be going to a game later this month. If not, they'll go to the bowl game with us! Go bearcats!!!

A Night Out/Family Fun

Jon and I went to the UC game on Saturday and left the girls with Aunt Steph. It was great to get out and know that the girls were well taken care of. We had a great time even though the bearcats didn't play their best game...Still undefeated though!!


On Sunday, the family got together at my parents house so everyone could visit with my uncle who is in town from Oregon. The girls got passed around from one person to the next and were loving every minute of the attention they were getting. They are definiltey two spoiled little girls.

Busy day!

Today is Jon's 30th birthday so the girls and I took him and his buddies lunch at work. I know it's hard for Jon to leave the girls every day to go to work. So they decided to get him picture frames and pictures of themselves so he can look at them while he's away. I think he liked the idea and was really happy to see the girls in the middle of his work day!
My uncle is in town from Oregon so after we left Jon's work, Kennedy, Ava and I took him to see my Grandma! She hadn't seen the girls since they were born because she'd been sick. She was really happy to spend some time with her son and great grand daughters! She said it was the best day that she's had in a long time. That made me so happy to hear. It was a good day for the girls and I too!!!
Here are a couple pictures that a friend of ours took of Kennedy and Ava! Adorable if I do say so myself! If you like them and are in need of having some pictures taken, let me know and I can get you her info.

Big Girls!

The girls had their one month check up today and all is well. Kennedy now weighs 8lbs. 5 oz. and is 21 inches long. Ava is 6 lbs. 8 oz. and is 20 inches long. That probably sounds so small but it's so big compared to where they started. Ava isn't on the charts yet percentile wise but she's close. The doc says she's just going to be a little lady! Kennedy is at about the 25th percentile for weight. We're so lucky to have healthy growing girls!!
The picture that I posted of Kennedy is of her hanging upside down. She has now decided that that is comfortable and throws her head back like that all the time. It's a little odd but she loves it!
The girls are now sleeping about 4-5 hours straight at night, which has been great! We're getting more sleep than we thought we would and thank our lucky stars that we have good sleepers! I'm actually getting more sleep now than when I was pregnant!

Our First Halloween

Kennedy and Ava celebrated their first Halloween with Jon and I along with Gigi, Grandpa, Aunt Natalie, Uncle Dave and Cousin David. We couldn't find costumes small enough to fit the girls but luckily Steve and Karly bought them ghost onsies! They looked adorable (at least we thought so) and seemed to enjoy their first family holiday! Spencer came by before trick or treat to see us and the girls. He looked so cute in his little giraffe costume! I love him!!!!
