Seeing double!

Most of you know that we live in Twinsburg, Ohio. The unique thing about Twinsburg is every year they have Twins day. They have festivities the whole weekend, but what is so fun about Twins day is that we get thousands of twins, triplets, and multiples from all over the world that participate. In fact, it is recorded in the Guinness book of world records, of having the most multiples/twins together in one gathering. Every year they have a theme, and this years theme was the 50's. It was really fun to see so many people go all out.


We went to the parade and watched all the twins walk down the street. It was so fun to see so many twins, and see them dressing identical. Even around town you would see them everywhere. We saw several when we went out for ice cream the night before the parade. Here is Matt, Mckayla, & Isaiah waiting for the parade to start.

And of course, we can't forget our little Sethers. He is all ready, all he needs is his bottle and he is good to go, that is of course until we get some candy thrown at us, and then he will want that!!

Here are just a few shots of the parade!

It was really fun time, and we were glad we participated in a part of it.

Pioneer Waterland Park!

We bought tickets to go to this water park in May, and we just got around to going to this water park in Aug. What a fun place to go!! We had so much fun. This water park has a wet area and a dry area, and everything is included in the price of your tickets except for the go carts, and they are only $2.oo. They have so much you can do. The wet park consisted of waterslides, paddle boats, swimming pool, and lazy river. Dry park consisted of minature golf, basketball game, cannon game, throwing cages, go carts, and several playgrounds for the kids to play on.

Mckayla loved it because she was tall enough to go on everything. She was so brave and went on every waterslide, and loved it!!

It was such a fun day, definitely worth going again!

Family night @ Dairy Queen

Our neighbors invited us to go to Dairy Queen with them for Family Night. Every Monday, Dairy Queen sponsers family night by giving kids meals out for $1.99. They also have face painting, and the big ice cream cone that you can shake hands with. The kids were really excited to have their faces painted. Of course Isaiah wanted to have a big O on his cheek for the beloved buckeyes.

Mckayla requested to have a butterfly.

This is our neighbors the Stevens Family (Debbie, Lawarence, and Alana)

Fun n Stuff

It was a raining Saturday afternoon, so Matt and I took the kids to this place called Fun n Stuff. They have it all there, roller skating, minature golf, laser tag, arcades, go carts, bumber boats, and a whole lot of other stuff. We headed to the kidz corner, and Seth was in HEAVEN. At 17 months old you would think he would be afraid of all this stuff, but not him, he always takes the challenge. They had a jungle gym, that Seth crawled in and followed Isaiah all around. He ventured up to the second level and had a great time looking out at mom and dad.

Then we were really in trouble when Seth discovered that this jungle gym had a ball pit. For those who know Seth, know he loves BALLS. This was heaven, until that is, all the other big kids jumped in as well, not really noticing a little guy was in the balls. He was easily overlooked, and was soon being trampled on by all the big kids. Talk about stress, keeping him out of the balls from this point on.

He also enjoyed the bouncy house. This bouncy house is one of those that has an obstacle course that leads you up to a slide, and brings you out of the house. Well, Seth was not afriad of this either. He climbed his way up to the top, and then slid out, over and over again.

Mckayla enjoyed a few holes of minature golf.

It was a perfect day for rain!!

8 years and counting!

Matt and I just celebrated our 8th anniversary. July 19th 2009, marked 8 years for us. We asked Matt's sister Monica and her husband Aaron to watch our kids for the night. They were very willing to help us out. Thank you Moni & Aaron for making it a great anniversary. On Friday we left the kids with Monica, and Matt & I headed out to dinner. We ate at a mexican restaurant. We had lots of fun spending time together. At dinner we decided to go over our goals together, and wrote all that we wanted to accomplish in the next yr, 5yrs, and so forth. After dinner we headed out and got some ice cream. Then we stayed at the Courtyard. It was so nice to have some time together.

In the morning we headed out to pick the kids up, and found them happy and healthy. They had a great time with Moni & Aaron.

We then went to COSI(children's museum) with Monica &Aaron ,and our friends the Zuro's. They had a great kids area were the kids played for about an hour.

Welcome to the bird show. Matt bought dippin dots, and instantly all the kids set at Matt's feet waiting for a spoonful of dots. Even Aunt Moni came calling for a spoonful.

The outdoor big science park had a car that you pulled up into the air with a rope. This picture is of the car, and Isaiah holding on to the rope, and Mckayla being lifted up by the car while hanging onto the rope.

We then stayed the night at Holly & Andy's. We had a great time having a barbeque, and enjoying a fire in their fire pit.

Safety Town!

They have a program here in Ohio called "Safety Town". It is for kids entering Kindergarten. This program helps kids understand all areas of safety. Mckayla went for 1 week, 2hrs. each day. She learned all about poison, gun, stranger, bus, water, cross the street, and fire safety. At the end of the week they each received a graduation certificate. Officer Joe, inspector Lynn & inspector Dan were her safety town instructor's.

This picture is of Mckayla and Officer Joe.

This picture is of her class, just about to receive their certificates. Mckayla has to go potty really bad, and is doing her best to hold it.
