Terrible 2's??? No way, terrible 3's!!!!!

For those of you who don't see us on a regular basis, you are unaware of the grey hairs that Mark and I have earned with these sweet, adorable twins...AKA Avery and Andon! Oh yes, they look sweet alright, but when there is no one else around but Mark or I, they turn into Mr. Hyde's!!! We are working very hard with Andon's temper tantrums and have been at our witts end!!! We are getting the, "No, I want MOMMY!!!" thing under control, for the most part but he is definitely getting his own opinion! Avery has been showing her little teenager attitude....ugh!!! That pout....I thought that was supposed to be cute...ya, not so much!!! Sure we definitely have our fabulous moments (like tonight..they were pretty great, for the most part) but there are other times where I seriously, want to give them to the mailman...just because he's the first person to come to the house!!!

That's what's going on at our home...terrible 3's!!!!!!

Pumpkin Patch #1

We headed out to Schepf's Farm this weekend in celebration of Kelly's 31st b-day! The kids had fun in the dusty, busy farm but most of all, are obsessed with their pumpkins! They each got to choose a mini pumpkin and have taken it with them lately!

Happy Birthday, Daddy!

Today was Mark's 31st birthday! We started the day off with Green Eggs and Ham for him along with breakfast in bed. Then he was generous enough to get the kids their first big kid bikes...they were so ready!!! They had a lot of fun riding around the neighborhood. I can't believe they are old enough to get their first bikes...time flies!!!

Go Devils

The kids have now officially become ASU fans! You know when they start asking, "Mommy, are we going tailgating?".

DisneyWorld...last minute trip...

The kids and I made it out to Orlando for a last minute trip to DisneyWorld last weekend!!! Unfortunately, mark had to fly but mom and Dave were out there for a convention all week and while we had originally planned NOT to go, we managed to figure out a day that would work. I had a MOPS training in the morning on Saturday and the kids and I left during lunch to make the last flight out for the day. The kids didn't even know where we were going until I knew we were for-sure on the flight...we got the last 3 seats! We made it in and got to the house around 11:00pm, went to the Magic Kingdom on Sunday and left on an 8:30 am flight on Monday.......free airfare IS the only reason I married Mark, you know ***wink***.

Here are some pics! The kids are VERY into Peter Pan (thanks Leslie) and are going to be Peter Pan and Tinkerbell for Halloween...actually, we had to talk Andon out of being Wendy....his future wife would never let that down!!! When we walked off Pirate's of the Carribean, there they both were, Peter Pan and Wendy.....talk about the right place at the right time! That was a special moment. Plus, Avery is in awe of Princess Belle so she was simply speechless when we met Cinderella, Prince Charming and Belle! In fact, Belle asked Avery if Andon was Avery's Beast...good thing she didn't ask me because sometimes, YES, he is!

All in all, it was a good, quick trip...all except for the fact that Daddy wasn't there. He is definitely Avery's prince lately though!
