Walking!!!

The boys are finally walking at 13 months!

Hunter

Nathan

Finally finished

I made these cute 'personalized' wall hangings for my 1 year old twins. Their room is complete except for hanging some floating shelves that we don't have yet! They were really cheap (free) to make since I already had all of the materials. I used one sheet of double sided scrapbook paper for the monkeys, tree branch and names. I used two more sheets for the background cut to fit the frame.

Nathans name wasn't glued which is why it is crooked, I was trying to decided which way I like better. In the end, I turned Nathan's horizontal like Hunter's.

A view of their room. The frames are centered on the wall and not above the cribs since they will only be in the cribs for another 6-12 months.

The frames say "My Little Monkey" and came from Kohl's last year. The banks came from Target and one day I will put their names on them. The lamp was given to me before Jayme was born.

These cute monkeys were also from Kohl's and part of the same collection as the frames pictured above.

J, K, L and M

The past couple of weeks we've been working on J, K, L, and M. We didn't get much done because of my parents visiting, Cody and I going out for the day, Memorial Day, and a Braves game the day after. We also had a sick baby one day. :(
Here's what we did!


J is for Jayme and Jaguar
K is for Kangaroo and King


L is for Llama, Lion and Ladder


M is for Monkey and Mouse
The Monkey did not turn out how I wanted it to. It looks like a mouse. The mouse on the other hand is super cute!
The ideas came from No Time For Flashcards, Totally Tots, Our Alphabet Adventure, and Izzie,Mac and Me

3 Day Weekend!!

Over the weekend, my parents came to watch the boys so the Hubby and I could have some time by ourselves. It was so nice to not have to worry about taking strollers and getting the boys in and out of the car or what we were going to feed them while we were out.

We went to the Atlanta Botanical Garden. The weather was perfect! We had lunch there and then walked around looking at plants and flowers for a little over an hour. There are so many that I have never heard of. While we were standing in line to get lunch, a family got in line behind us. I didn't pay much attention to them and went to find a table. After ordering our food, Cody came up and said that he thought it was Vern Yip from HGTV that was behind us. We kept looking at him trying to decide if it was him. We looked up his picture when we got home and his bio (to see if he had a baby) and sure enough it was him. Too bad we didn't take a picture of him!

After leaving there we went shopping and then we had an early dinner at Ruby Tuesday. It was really yummy! By that point we missed the boys and wanted to get home to spend some time with them.

The boys had a blast with Granny and Pops. They watched Toy Story, went for a walk and played outside in the water.

Monday we went to Kohls and had family pictures taken at JCPenny! It was a great 3 day weekend with the family!


I forgot I saved this as a draft Tuesday and never published it. OOPS!!!
