Red Raider Land...

We took a wonderful trip mid February to Lubbock, Texas to my old stompin' grounds. It was so much fun to visit my brother, Casey (who is a sophomore at Tech majoring in landscape architecture), and our friends the Percifields, who used to live in Fort Worth and go to church with us. The Percifields just moved to Lubbock this summer where Steve is a RUF campus minister at Texas Tech.

We went to campus and drove by my old dorm (Stangel-Murdough), the football stadium, my old apartment on 4th street and university, the health science center where I studied speech therapy, the student union building, the Pi Phi house, and ate at Double Dave's pizza (one of my favorites in college).

It was so much fun and brought back so many memories from school, where I met dear friends for life and had so much fun. After being in Lubbock, it really made me miss my friends and living in a college town. But, I must say...I don't miss the smell...or the wind! This is Caleb playing with Ella, who is the youngest of the 4 Percifield children.

Holt and Connor are entertaining Matthew!

This is the seal in front of campus where we all posed for a pic. The boys LOVED Tech...I see red and black in their future!

REAL Red Raiders only...:)

Caleb, Tim, and Casey before we went in the student union building..

Twice the Fun!

Cute pics below of the boys playing in the living room before church... Chooch always has time to pose for the camera...He is so ornery, but when he looks at you with those big brown eyes, your heart just melts. :)


Cabers on the move!

The boys love rolling around together. We can put them on opposite ends of the room with their toys, but they always end up together. It's super fun to watch! However, they have started stealing one another's toys. Caleb doesn't care if Matthew takes his toy, but when it's the other way around, Matthew gives the biggest pucker face and then starts to scream!!!

Happy Belated Valentine's Day!!!

Hugs and kisses to all!!!

I was trying to be creative and take some fun Valentine's Day pictures of the boys for their grandparents. However, the boys would not cooperate so I had to bring in the reserves (Dad) to help out. We finally got a few cute shots so I thought I would share them with you all.

I thought this was the cutest of all!

The boys wanted to eat the cards instead of pose with them. Who can blame 'em?!

Daddy gets involved to try to help the boys stay focused. I don't think you can use focused and 8 month old twins in the same sentence!

Sneaky Chooch...

The boys' room is right off of our kitchen. A lot of times, I will put some toys down in their room while I start dinner and just check on them frequently. The other day, I promise I was gone for 20 seconds and I come back in to check on them. I found Caleb sitting up with his train, but Chooch was no where to be found. My heart sunk into my stomach, but before I could really freak out I heard a noise from underneath the crib. Chooch was in the far corner just hanging out...when I looked at him, he just grinned at me...two words...DOUBLE TROUBLE!

Guilty as charged!!!

Just hanging out...:)

Utah 2009

We were so blessed to be able to go to Park City, Utah for a week with the Davis' family. It was so much fun to get to spend the week with them and all 4 boys kept us busy and laughing the entire trip. Thankfully, Tim's parents were there for some baby time and it was so great to have 4 more hands on deck with all the munchkins! Brian and Tim skied several days while Jeanette and I vegged at the house with the boys. We would coordinate all the kids nap times in the afternoons so we could watch T.V. and hang out for some girl time which included some shopping and pedicures. The 2 couples even managed a fun date night downtown Park City which doesn't happen in Fort Worth (thanks to Tim's parents watching the kids).It could not have been a more relaxing, enjoyable time with "family." We are treasuring every second we have with the Davis' clan as they are moving to start a R.U.F. (Reformed University Fellowship) this summer at Purdue University. We are so happy for them and excited to see what God is going to do in their lives. We are certainly going to miss them more than words can describe, though! Okay, I'm going to stop being sappy now...enjoy the pics!

Dustin, Caleb, and Matthew with Jack in the back overseeing things...

Date night for the couples!!!

We had GREAT snow in Park City...the boys bundled up in their bear suits!

Dustin, Chooch, and Cabers...watch out!!!

Grandpa and Chooch & GranMary and Cabers hanging tight...

Jack is all bundled up for his snow day...he was a legend on the trip...SOOO funny! He loved the snow!

Jeanette with Jack, Caleb, and Dus...there was a lot of child swapping going on!

It was kind of a circus at the airport, but not nearly as crazy as it could have been! We had a delay on the way home, which is always tough with kiddos. But, overall the 4 kiddos were troopers...

Oldie but a Goodie

I thought I would share this picture as it has been serving as my background picture on my desktop for almost a month now (thanks Jeanette). It is a bit old as the "Chooch" still has his helmet, but it gets me so excited everytime I see it. Caleb has a deer in the headlights look going and Matthew is in between bites of his fingers.

They have already grown up so much, but we try really hard to savor every sweet moment with them because we know one day we will have to stop calling them "twinkers" in public. One day they will start crawling, one day they will start walking, one day they will start school, one day they will play little league baseball, one day they will go off to college and one day they will get married and we will be replaced as the most important people in their lives...but praise the Lord those days are not here yet and we can enjoy these sweet boys just as they are right now!! It feels like every stage they get to is beyond anything I could ever have imagined.
