Jacob smiles for the camera!

Jake getting bigger.

Lately the twins want to be outside all of the time. A couple days ago, Kate insisted on wearing a hat- she is so funny.

We really need a little pool! One day I realized they were playing in the dog water, so I filled both up with water and sprayed down the outside and they had so much fun! It was just as good as a pool to them. It is amazing what a little imagination can do for you. They stayed out there for hours playing in the rocks and water. At one point they were pretending to take a bath and were washing each others hair. Too cute!

Brandon and Kate are so vain. They love to look at themselves. We put mirrored closet doors in their room and they just go in there and talk and play with their reflections. Kate actually plays peek-a-boo with herself. She will hide behind the closet door and then pop out and say peek-a-boo to herself! Brandon just likes to admire himself. Just sits there and stares and runs his hands through his hair. Last night after our baths, I realized that Brandon needs a haircut because it made a pretty good mohawk! He thought it was awesome!

Mother's Day was just another day, but because our anniversay and my birthday all fall in this month, it is kinda hard to do something for all three- anyway, Darren spoiled me anyway! We bought a 42" LCD HDTV and a Blu-Ray Disc player- we took the blu-ray back though- wasn't worth the trouble- the discs are super expensive and I don't think it is much better picture than the up-converter we got with the HDMI cable. Plus, a lot of our old discs didn't work in the blu-ray player and it took forever to turn on and load- I don't have that much patience. Anyway- I love the new living room additions! Just what I have wanted for a while.

It has been a while since I have updated- it is really busy around here since Darren went back to work- don't have as much time to write. Jake is getting bigger and already has his two bottom teeth. He will be 5 months old in four days. I can hardly believe it has been that long. He is a great baby besides the fact that he only wants Mommy all the time. He is not a social baby- he doesn't like other people to touch him or even talk to him. When a stranger says hi to him he just starts crying- even if I am holding him- very silly. He sure is cute though- I sure love all my kids so very much and am very thankful for the opportunity to have all three of them!
