Daddy's pictures

It is time for my semi regular picture dump from my camera. Some of these pictures may be repeats on the blog. If so, I'm sure Emily will come on here and delete them.

PaPa and Grandma (we're pushing for GiGi) with the boys

Sometimes I wonder what Emily puts in their sippy cups

Mommy and Matthew playing games on the couch

The Family

Big Giff (left) and Giff (right) Nielsen came up to watch the BYU cougars beat OU to open the college football season. Go Mountain West.

Two of my best friends, Giff (left) and Amad (right) came up for the game and we took the RV.

I know his ribs are showing, but I promise we feed these kids like crazy.

Have your people call my people to set up a meeting. Oops, I can't do that day, I'm closing a big deal. Let's reschedule.

Did you think I was a business man...wrong! I love to party.

Matthew is ready to hit the beach with his Joe Cools on

Big smile from Caleb

You can tell he is up to no good in this picture

Caleb takes a turn at the Joe Cools

Pops and Chooch at Uncle Julios. This was the night we told my parents we were pregnant. My mom screamed so loud other people in the restaurant thought a mouse ran under the table.

I don't know what you call this face.

Emily's college roommate Lacy came into town for a visit.

Caleb is giving his "I will not eat another green bean no matter what" face

Caleb has an announcement to make

As most of you know, Caleb has started saying a bunch of different words. Well we thought we would let him tell you a little secret our family has.

Halloween Shirts and Funny Faces...

The boys are still not too big for Mommy to rock them both...
This is Caleb signing "please" to his Daddy...

My mom made them these adorable Halloween shirts that say "Chooch" and "Cabers."

This was before a few steps were taken....Caleb is close to walking, but we're still not there yet!

Matthew loves to put stuff on his head, especially these baskets!

Daddy let Caleb into the chocolate pudding...don't tell Matthew!!!

This is Matthew's tough guy face!

Caleb makes really funny faces that crack us up...I'm not sure what this one means!

This is definitely his "ornery" look!

First TCU Tailgate...Full Success!

We had a fun weekend tailgating for the Frogs and of course its always more fun when the evening ends with a win for TCU! I have grown to really appreciate how much Tim and his family love TCU. Even though I am a Tech girl at heart, I can appreciate the Frogs and it is really fun to grow up in a town where you can support the local team and your kids can be apart of it. But, next year, when Tech plays TCU in Lubbock, it's on...we are ready for our revenge, suckers! It was really fun having Tim's aunt and uncle and cousins and their wives and kiddos in town for the weekend from Michigan and Oklahoma. There are a few pics of the kids below, but unfortunately we didn't get a good group pic on my camera because unfortunately the boys and I didn't make it too long at the party. If I get any other pics from the rest of the gang, I will post them! Tyler drinkin his Route 44!

Snacks were the key to success for keeping all the little ones happy!

Tom and Tim...the two most DIE HARD frog fans that I know of!

Katie and Casey hanging out tailgating...(Casey is Tim's cousin from Michigan)

Tyler, David, Kaycee, Kaleigh having fun at the tailgate!!! Such cute kiddos!!! (David and Kaleigh belong to Eric and Amanda and Kaycee belongs to Casey and Katie...)

Jennifer (another one of the most dedicated female Frog fans I know) helping feed the triplets at the tailgate...I think this is Grant...Jenn, help!!!

Walt is helping Tom cook bacon wrapped dove on the grill! Or maybe he's not really helping that much, but you know he's making things fun!

Aunty Daniella keeping Caleb and Matthew happy :)

Mere-Mere and Chooch are hanging out in the RV!

Jenn and Amanda tailgating where I like to tailgate...in the AC!!!

Tyler, Matthew and Pops decked out in purple. Tyler is being a sweet big cousin and giving Matthew hugs!

Uncle Tim with the triplets in the tripmobile! It actually has a steering wheel on the stroller!!! Tom and Jenn are amazing parents of triplets + Tyler. It's really fun to have these sweet new boys in our family!

Pioneer Reunion 09....

I'm sorry we haven't posted in forever! I am getting my camera back tomorrow and I will have to put some pictures on the blog from August that I haven't been able to download yet. In the meantime, I thought I would add these pics that I took on my mom's camera today. We are in Henrietta for Pioneer Reunion (which I have attended every year faithfully since 2 years of age and love carrying on the tradition with the boys)! Uncle Casey made it in for the parade and rodeo as well so he got to see the boys and play, play, play!!! I must say that it has been really fun this year with the boys! They were a little more interested in the floats, firetrucks, and horsies than last year (they were only 3 months old then). After the parade today, we sat on the courthouse lawn and the boys had cheetos for the first time (thank you Grandma!) and played ball in the grass. It was a wonderful time spent with old friends and new ones (including a set of really cute "younger" twin girls)! Watch out!!!

Papa on the floor playing with Caleb, who kept climbing on Papa and tickling his belly button! Chooch getting a ride from U. Casey...

Go TECH...all the boys in Red Raider colors...let's hope for lots of luck tomorrow night---we will need it!

Caleb giving out kisses!!!

Papa working with Chooch on his form....he is a former basketball coach, what else would you expect?!

Snack time with Grandma at the table...

Uncle Casey and Caleb at the parade...

Windblown hair!

Papa and Uncle Casey entertained the boys while they were waiting for the parade to start. We had to get there early to get good seats! Unfortunately, the camera battery went down during the parade so we didn't get any pictures with floats or horses. But, a few friends did take some pictures on the lawn after the parade so if we get those, we'll post them!

This is a sweet video of the boys playing with a doggy chain....lots of giggles!

Plumber Chooch and His Assistant...

I know I say everything happens when I turn my head for just 5 seconds, but it really DOES! These little boogers are SOOO fast! This is what I witnessed after a few seconds of quiet when I realized that those two were likely up to no good!
Sunday afternoon ritual---ripping the paper up after Mommy and Daddy read it...it entertains for HOURS and the cleanup is not too bad!

This is Mr. Caleb going Commando! I have learned now that I have to put shorts on him for his nap or else he takes off his diaper! Thankfully, we caught this before any accidents occured...little toot! He was SO proud of himself and laughed when we walked into the room. I have to admit- it was really funny. It probably wouldn't have been had there been an accident though!

This is Caleb's rabbit face which he used to make to copy his Daddy. Now, he will just do it spontaneously for attention and its really cute.

Playing with his cars...

Chooch in his hat...he will actually wear a hat for extended amounts of time.

Grandparents, Graunties & Gruncles...

Sorry it's been so long since we've posted! We have been on two flights/trips the last month, had sick kiddos and trips to urgent care, and had family and friends in town as well. It has been kind of a whirlwind, but really fun and we always love help with the kiddos. With twins, a support system is the NAME OF THE GAME! In the midst of all of this, I forgot my camera in Park City and it will be a few weeks before I get it from Mere-Mere...Tim had a few pictures on his camera so I posted what I had to work with. My brother (Uncle Casey) has been asking me to post a video of Matthew walking and the boys talking and unfortunately they are on my silly camera. So, I PROMISE to post those as soon as I get access to the footage!

Caleb is wishing his Pops a "Happy 60th" at his birthday dinner.
The boys were all about "Grauntie Nelda..." It was so great having you guys visit! You were INCREDIBLE with the boys and such a big help to us!

Chooch and Daddy have matching mohawks!

Big grins from Mr. Caleb!

Matthew is a happy camper with those sunglasses in his hands...he loves his Joe Cools!

This is Caleb's rabbit nose/face...it's really funny and now he does it for attention during meals!

Gruncle Steve is holding Caleb while he plays a never ending game with G. Nelda. She taught him how to stick his little finger out to hers and she would then tickle him. He loved this little game and wanted to do it the entire time she was here. She also taught him how to rub lotion on his legs and feet and now after bathtime he brings me the lotion and points to his leg. It's really cute!

Here is Mere-Mere with Nun Choochy at Big Tom's 60th birthday celebration dinner! Tim and I devoured Uncle Julio's fajitas while the boys were entertained by Mere-Mere and Pops.

The boys loved it when Grandma tried on the sunglasses and they took turns taking them off of her...so fun!

Chooch loves his Papa...they were enjoying time in the great outdoors!
