I took this photo during our new years day “photo shoot” and absolutely love it! It’s one of my favorite pictures of them and completely shows off their different personalities. Hayden is more of the serious, subdude, calm type and Ian is more of the gotta see whats going on, curious type. So here’s the picture with our comments as to what they are saying…

Hayden to Ian:
“Dude, you gotta calm down”
“Hey, the more you smile, the more they’ll keep taking our picture”
“Seriously, calm down man”
“I wish you would just calm down and put your tuxedo on like your supposed to”

Ian to Hayden:
“Come on, why aren’t you smiling, this is fun”
“Cheeeeeeeeeese”
“Po sucker, you got stuck with the penguin suit!”
“aren’t you glad they aren’t making a goofy video of us this time around”

It will be fun to see if their personalities continue to be like this or if they switch.

what first time dads search for

Jonathan found this video and he says he’s so there. Its all the things first time dad’s, or I guess dad’s to be in general, are searching for on google. I should put together one that shows all the searches that pregnant women and first time mom’s look for. Some of them would be similar to what the dad’s search for….except for the ones like maternity clothing, belly bands, symptoms at x number of weeks, how to get your pre-pregnancy figure back, etc etc

Top 15 questions from a twin mom

Here are the top 15 questions from one twin mom and her answers. Some of them are pretty funny and others I just can’t believe someone would ask you such a thing. I’ll have to put together my top 15 questions list after the first year or so.

15. “I could never do it.”
Oh really. What would you do? Would you put them on the curb with signs around their necks that say, “Free to a good home. My mom can’t do it.”?

14. “Do they have different personalities?”
No. They are the same human being divided into several parts.

13. Said by a stranger, “They’re identical, right?” Mom answers, “No. They’re fraternal.” Stranger response, “They are NOT!”
OK. You’re right. I have no idea what I’m talking about. These are not my children. I thought it would be fun to borrow them from a mom down at Baby Gap. It’s been more than an hour. I guess I should return them.

12. “Are they ‘paternal’ twins?”
Yes. They have a father. There was only one virgin birth.

11. “Just wait till they’re older. It only gets harder.”
Thank you. I woke up this morning hoping I’d receive a word of discouragement while pushing a cart of preschoolers down the cereal aisle.

10. “When one cries, does he wake the other?”
No. Multiples cannot hear each other’s cries because they all communicate with their special telepathic language only.

9. From a perfect stranger: “Were they in the same sac?”
Hello. Nice to meet you, too. Will you be sharing your gynecological history with me as well?

8. “Are they developmentally behind?”
Well, let’s see. They’re 3 years old and thus far, all their graduate school applications have been denied. We’ll get back with you on that.

7. “How do you do it?”
Haven’t you seen the Nike commercials?

6. “Are they natural?”
Nope, their arms and legs are made of silicone.

5. “You must be SO busy.”
Are you volunteering to clean my house?

4. “Did you take drugs?”
Well, there was this one time in college….

3. “What do you do when they all cry at the same time?”
Sometimes I cry. Sometimes I go to Starbucks.

2. Said to a mom of boy/girl twins: “Are they identical?”
Uh. Not exactly.

And No. 1. Drum roll please. . . .

1. After a stranger had been informed that the toddler boys were twins, she asked a simple question:

“Are they brothers?”
Enough said.

HAHA, I’m sure I’ll get some similar questions to these and I’ve even heard a complete stranger asking a mother of twins if she breastfed them. I’m sorry, but I’m not going to talk about that with a complete stranger…but I better get used to it I guess.

The holidays…

ARE OVER!! Not that I’m happy about that but life can finally calm down now and get back to normal. What did we do for the holidays you ask…well, here is a look at what all we did the last few weeks/months. Over the last month I have taken several family photos. There were the Treadaways, our pastor and his family…

…And then Jalyn, our friends Josh and Shalyn’s baby…
Jalyn
…then there were the Nash’s. Gracelyn, who is 2, didn’t really want any part of taking photos so it made for a difficult day, along with my camera that was acting up…that’s a whole other story…
Nash's

We went with a group of our friends from church to see Bethlehem Revisited in Waxahachie…
Bethlehem Revisited

Our holiday festivities with family started on Dec 21 when we held our annual Turner-Medlin Family Christmas/Jake’s Birthday party. We all went to the Medlin’s and had some yummy chili and all the “kids” (we’re too old to be called kids) did a white elephant gift exchange and then Jake opened up his birthday presents. Jake turned 8 this year and I can’t believe he’s getting so old. I remember the day he was born…anyway, we had fun time together and couldn’t wait to do it all over again on New Years Day, when we celebrate my dad and Bob’s birthday…more on that later in the post.

On the 23rd we had all of Jonathan’s family over to our house for dinner and games. We all had a great time and always look forward to seeing everyone. (to see any of these collages bigger, simply click on it and viola)

Christmas Eve we went to our parents church for a candlelight service and then back to my parents house for dinner. After dinner we headed over to my aunts house to spend some time with her and my cousins and their kids. Had a good time seeing all of them and about 10:00pm my cousin’s son, Bryce, announced that “there was good news and bad news…the good news is that santa is in Texas, the bad news is that santa is in Texas and I’m not in bed!” So with that we all headed home.

Christmas morning Jonathan and I opened gifts at our house, well some of them…I made Jonathan go on a scavenger hunt for his gift. He started out at our house and then headed to the park which sent him to our pastors house where they slipped the present in their mailbox for me. I think he enjoyed it but maybe not as much as his present which was two tickets to the Trans-Siberian Orchestra concert.

After that we went to my padres house for Christmas with my familia and ate a great lunch and opened gifts. And as always, we let the kids go first which only takes about 10 minutes total because they rip through them all at warp speed. After lunch and presents we decided to play a game of family feud…that was a lot of fun, except my dad kept forgetting the rules! My niece got a doll house and my nephew got a new Wii so they were both preoccupied with those the majority of the afternoon and that was a gift to all of us!!! That’s the only way we were able to play family feud.
Later that afternoon we headed over to Jonathan’s parents and hung out there a while. Tim and Kara got rock band for the wii so we played that for a while and then Jonathan’s dad made a great ham for dinner so we ate and opened some gifts. Over all, we had a wonderful Christmas and are blessed by our family and friends that spent it with us!

Then for about a week our lives were back to semi normalcy…I went back to work but Jonathan had the week off. New Years Eve we spent over at Richard and Amber’s house playing games and eating some yummy mexican food. Then for the countdown to bring in the new year we lit some sparklers–that’s always fun!
Day 106 ~ 365 Days Project New Years Eve '08
NYE '08

And finally, Welcome 2009! We have entered into yet another new year. We slept in new years day because lets face it, we were up late partying the night before!! You know us, we’re such the partiers-HA! Then later that afternoon my family and the Medlins came over to our house and we grilled some fajitas and celebrated our dad’s birthdays! Honestly I can’t remember how old they both are–somewhere in the early 60’s! yikes, sorry guys, I love you, but that’s old! Day 107 ~ 365 Days Project

We always have fun getting together but don’t do it as often as I would like. The Medlin’s have always been a second family to us, Bob and Vicki were like our “other parents” and Ty and Tami were like siblings growing up. It’s so much fun now that we are all grown up and adults…We’ve all grown up together and shared special occasions together as we each get married, have kids and watch each of us, or them, become parents for the first time…it’s been fun!! A great way to start a new year. I’ve been told that how you spend your New Year’s Day sets the stage for that year…we’re off to a great start!

Because we had so much fun on New Year’s Day, you get two collages.

Tonight Jonathan and I went to the Trans-Siberian Orchestra concert for his Christmas gift and had a blast. This is my 5 year to go to the concert and I have loved every year. It’s a Christmas tradition that I had and then when Jonathan and I started dating we decided to make it our tradition. We are going on a cruise in February so we decided that we just wouldn’t be able to spring for tickets to TSO this year and the cruise. We were both bummed about not getting to go, Jonathan was pretty bummed so I decided to surprise him with tickets for Christmas. He tried many times to get me to agree to get tickets and it was hard to tell him “No, I just don’t think we can this year” when I had already bought 2 tickets. Anyway, we went to the concert and love it! The camera police are usually out making sure you don’t take any pictures of the concert but I was able to sneak some with my camera phone–gotta love them! So here are some illegal pictures from the TSO concert:

After the concert we met Jen and Jed for dinner at Patrizio’s in Highland Park Village….let me tell you, they have some amazing italian food! I’ve been there before and have always wanted to take Jonathan so I figured why not now! We had a good time with Jen and Jed and then decided to get some Italian Gelato at Paciugo’s to go with our Italian food.

And that concludes our holiday festivities! I hope everyone had a good time with their family and friends over the holidays and here’s to a wonderful new year!

Sick of baby Palin?

Posted on by

Normally I leave all the political mumbo jumbo up to the hubs but is anyone else sick of hearing about Sarah Palin’s pregnant 17 year old daughter. Ya it’s a big deal but at the same time the media is focusing so much on that issue that we aren’t able to get to know the possible next VP of the United States. I want to know what she stands for, what her plans are and so forth, but with the whole pregnancy issue we aren’t able to do that. So here’s what I know, she’s a woman and she’s the governor of Alaska–and a few more things. I am truly excited that we have the possibility to elect the first female VP–and it’s not Hillary!! I will say that she is a strong woman and shows women of America that when struggles come up you can push through them, and run for vice president at the same time. In the last four months Palin has given birth to a special needs child (down syndrome I believe), hit the campaign trail with 5 kids at home no less and told the world she has a pregnant 17 year old daughter. Because of all she does, juggling work and family, that will speak to a lot of women. The question is, will she speak for women, will she stand up for women and their rights? The answer, probably not. She has opposed contraception, abortion rights and protecting women in the workplace. Now I’m not going to get into the issue of abortion and women, that’s not what my blog is about, but I do agree with her stance and like that she is antiabortion. Maybe in the next week or so we will finally find out who Sarah Palin is, watch the RNC tonight and hear her speak.

On another note, you have to admit, Sarah Palin looks awfully similar to Meghan Mullaly of Will and Grace and Tina Fey…can you see it! When her hair is up it’s Meghan Mullaly, when it’s down it’s Tina Fey. Then the funny part, for all you SNL fans out there, McCain’s wife kinda looks like Amy Poehler, so put them together and we’ll have a comedic white house! Oh how I wish Tina Fey was still on Saturday Night Live, I can see the skits now)

Cindy McCain’s –ok so she doesn’t really look like Amy Poehler but it she could resemble her don’t you think…specially with tina fey as his running mate!

My beloved iPod

ipod
I have a beloved iPod that I’ve had for years. It’s a green iPod mini, they don’t even make those anymore…why I don’t know–it was one of their best ones. Over the last couple of months I’ve noticed that it doesn’t hold it’s charge that long and today I took it along with me when I took Presley for a walk. Well it didn’t even last 5 minutes before the battery was completely dead! What am I going to do, they don’t make these anymore and honestly, I can think of many more things I’d rather spend $150 on than a new, not as good, iPod. Sure mine doesn’t had a touch screen or even color screen, and it doesn’t do videos or whatever but it’s the best one…it holds 1000 songs and like I would ever fill that up anyway. It’s green and compact and my iPod–and now it’s broken, almost. I can still listen to it when it’s plugged in but doesn’t that defeat the purpose of an mp3 player? I restored the settings and updated the software this afternoon so we’ll see if that helps my beloved iPod. If not, i’m gonna have to take it to the mac store and walk up to the genius bar and say “I need a Dr. my iPod is sick…please help it, do everything you can to save it!” and they will probably say, lady this is an old outdated iPod–Buy another one! But I don’t want to, its my old, outdated iPod and I want it working again. We’ll see what happens, I’ll keep you updated because I know all of you are just on edge about my iPod issue 😉
