Boy oh boy, where did summer go?!? All I know is our BABIES are growing up waaaaay too fast! They are both talking so much, putting 3 words together and repeating anything you tell them to say.....so be careful what you say!!!!

Adelyn loves to repeat what I say, but put Mommy's name in her place....for example, Adelyn you are being naughty.....she randomly likes to look at me with this little face and say....Mommy naughty...yeah, she loves to say that. We might be eating dinner....Mommy naughty...she is so full of it :)

Axton loves to watch movies, well he gets so excited for the beginning, then he wonders off playing. He is still all cars, trucks and tractors!

They both discovered jumping this past week....makes me nervous!!! They love to tip their outdoor cars on their sides and climb up and jump off on the grass....when and only when Daddy is home too!

Overall, both Adelyn and Axton are doing amazing! Growing and learning something new everyday....so amazing how quickly they pick up on things! We are working on counting to 10...making progress :)

Enjoy the pictures!!!!! Much love to each and everyone of our family and friends for all your support and love! May God continue to bless us with great health and strong growing bodies! We love you!!!

25 Months with Mommy's high heels!

Our babies are officially 2 YEARS old...but wait, where did these past 2 years go?!?! I am so amazed at how fast time ticks right on past us. The kiddo's are now little people with their own personality and starting to really chime in on what is going on. They are talking so much, putting words together and repeating just about anything you tell them to say, unreal!!!

We had a great time celebrating their 2nd birthday! They were more than spoiled, as usual and we had a beautiful and hot day! I had a cake made that had 2 cars on it, they each got to dig into :) I am so thankful for our family and friends who were here to celebrate with us.

Their 2 year check-up went great as far as being healthy! But their experience in the office was pretty rough...they didn't even have to get shots and they pretty much screamed and cried the entire time. Amazing how 6 months pass by and they still know the doctors office. We all survived, thank you to Grandma Arnoldink helping me out :)

The stats at 2 years were:

Axton

36.25 inches

33 lbs 2 oz

Adelyn

35 inches

27 lbs 9 oz.

We are SUPER blessed with happy, healthy, strong, growing babies! Thank you God for all you do and for our future together! We love you!

Love Grant, Chas, Adelyn & Axton Arnoldink

This is the outcome of not knowing how to keep the pedal down to GO, so he pushes it!

LOVES to just sit there!

So he pushes, much happier!!!

Love my baby girl!

It was only 4 months ago that I couldn't believe my "babies" were going to be TWO....the time is almost here, 2.5 weeks...WOW! Adelyn and Axton continue to change and grow everyday. It amazes my how quickly they pick up on things and repeat what you say. Axton is certainly talking more that Adelyn, as far as repeating after Grant or I. Someone was leaving the other day and I said "see ya"....Axton said it right after me. Grant got him saying, yeaaa boy...but it is SO adorable in his voice. We were leaving the mall today and I said "here we go"....there was soon an echo :) I had such a fun morning with the babes; we went to the mall, they got to play and made it to Costco to get Adelyn more cheese :) They were in such a good mood, laughing and being silly!

Since the weather is getting warmer out (finally) all the kids want to do is "outside" ...they LOVE playing outside! Adelyn takes charge of the motorized tractor. If she notices Axton heading towards it, she runs and gets on it before him. She is the boss, no doubt about it! Axton would rather push the tractor than ride it. Anything he can push, he is happy! He still does not like to fall in the grass...he will lay with his hands and feet in the air like superman.

They are STILL such AMAZING sleepers....we have been super blessed with having twins, God gave us awesome babes! They go to bed around 7:30 every night and sleep until 8:00...they take one BIG nap from 1-4. I love having a schedule, so thankful that they do a great job at following it :)

We thank God for our blessings and for giving us 2 healthy, beautiful, loving children. Please continue your thoughts and prayers, we love you!

I had my cousin take pictures of us a few weeks ago, enjoy as you see how BIG they are getting!

All my most recent pictures are on my new camera that I have yet hooked up to the computer, so I will update current pics very soon!

Unreal to think that in 4 more months.....we will be celebrating a 2nd Birthday for Adelyn & Axton...what happen to my "babies"?!?! They are getting SO big and running around chattering like little people.

They are saying quite a few words...Mommy, DaDa, Num Num, Car, Truck, Tractor, Daisy, PaPa, Hi, Bye Bye, Snow, Elmo, Kitty, Juice, Cracker, Cookie, Hop Hop, Baby....those are just off the top of my head, so they are doing a great job :)

They are starting to learn what animals say...they have a dog, cow and monkey down so far :) Adelyn was trying to do fish lips last night and she got the biggest kick out of me doing them. Pretty neat how easily entertained they are sometimes...Love them to pieces!

Axton LOVES his cars, trucks and tractors...he will sit and entertain himself for quite sometime playing and pushing his toys around. He also LOVES hats...he put one on and runs to the mirror to look at himself. It is one of the cutest things to see him looking at himself and smiling from ear to ear.

Adelyn on the other hand, LOVES to be entertained...she loves looking at books and sitting on my lap. She loves jewelry and running to look at herself in the mirror with Mommy's necklace on :)

They play well together, as long as there is no taking trucks/cars from Axton :) Last night, Axton was in the wrestling mood, he practically gets Adelyn pinned down and just nudges his head into her, giggling more than ever. It doesn't last long, because Adelyn does not like the roughness of her little brother :) It is so amazing to see how God created a boy and a girl and that their senses are completely directed to "girl" and "boy" activities.

Christmas was very fun this past year. Adelyn was present queen...she knew there was something inside those wrapped packages. Axton was not as interested, so Adelyn got to open twice as many gifts! She was more excited about getting clothes than toys...I must say, that is my girl :) Once Axton opened a truck, that was the end of his attention span for presents....he was focused on that truck for the rest of the night.

Adelyn and Axton have grown into little kids who have filled out hearts with so much love. They continue to learn something new everyday, which is just so amazing to watch them take everything in. We thank God for their healthy & strong growing bodies. I pray that He continues to bless both babes and our family.

Thank you to all our family and friends for your unconditional love and support!

Love Grant, Chas, Adelyn, Axton & Daisy Arnoldink
