Dishwashing Babies!!!
The twins love to "help" load and unload the dishwasher. This morning they were helping daddy. I think it is too cute that they come crawling when they hear dishes being loaded. They are fascinated by silverware and cups and plates.
"What are you doing babies?"
(Don't forget to pause the music below when you want to hear the video clips :)
Crawling away as fast as they can. They think it is great fun to crawl away when I am coming for them...especially if they are into trouble.
I think that Rhiannon had a sick day (but wasn't really sick) and I took a picture of her in grandma's room. She is giving me the "Oh, come on Aunt Shelly" look. Ryder and Racer also stayed home that day.
Look at that cute face. She has recently had her hair cut back into bangs and long layers. If I find a good pic of her haircut, I'll post it.
This video was taken by Rhiannon so it is a little shakey. I'm in the background yelling up to my mom about the home teachers coming for a visit. 
Another day the kids wanted to play with the foam letters and build little houses. The babies love to destroy the creations so they had to stay in the exersaucers for awhile.
Ryder and Racer just got haircuts too. Ryder is showing me his house that he made.
Chantrell is looking off into space. Her hand is down by her leg. She is probably wondering how much longer she will be stuck in there.
Brenna is waiting to be let out too. They don't like to be caged in their exersaucers...it's more fun to crawl around the house.
Ryder is playing with some party favors while the girls were taking a nap in the afternoon.
Here is Racer with his parachute man.
And Rhiannon too.
The little parachute man kept getting tangled up in the string and Ryder was getting frustrated.
Look how long Nan's hair is getting. She wants to get it cut short, up to her shoulders, but her mom won't let her. I just got my hair cut shorter too. It is so much easier to take care of.
A sleepy Brenna in her highchair wearing her new bib.
A more awake Chantrell wondering what all the excitement is for.
"What are these party favors for??" "I guess we should eat them."
Happy Birthday Brenna!!! She was looking up at her Aunt Tiffany when we were singing to her.
"Yummmm. . . cake tastes good."
"Yup, it sure does taste good."
Rhiannon can't wait to taste the cake. . . she has her tongue out all ready to lick the frosting.
Ryder is waiting patiently for his piece. Barry is standing next to him cutting the cake. I also made a pineapple upside down cake for the rest of the family.
Racer shoved the whole piece of cake in his mouth at once. I bet him that he couldn't do it. I guess he showed me. : )
Mommy and her girls.
Daddy and his girls.
Close up of Chantrell eating cake. Her hair keeps getting lighter. It's almost blond now. She is a very pretty girl.
More cake in the face pictures. Pretty Brenna with the red hair and blue eyes.
All cleaned up and ready for presents.
Brenna stands up to the couches and walks around them. Chantrell is a pretty good walker all by herself.
Nan gave the girls her stuffed dragon toys.
All the kids opening presents and showing the babies what they picked for them.
New sippie cups to drink from.
A good picture of everything that they got. Toy vacuum cleaner, pelican toy, stacking cups, etc... They also received money, books, videos, and clothes. Thank you to everyone who sent gifts, checks and cards. We all enjoyed having the girl's first birthday party. Barry and I are so happy that they are healthy and growing and right on track developmentally. They are so fun to watch while they play with their toys. We love our girls!!!
She has lots of determination to do what she wants.
Chantrell is wearing the Pirate headband. "Ahoey Matey!!!"
Rhiannon trying to keep a straight face, in a clown outfit. She kept saying that she was a goth-vegetarian-clown-pirate.
Now she is acting like her normal self.
Brenna sitting quietly with the foam letters. She is probably wondering what all the fuss is about.
Chantrell is on my lap and we are playing with the scarf again.
