Baker Family Update!

The twinnies are now over 8 months old! Can you believe it!! They have grown so fast. They are getting so big. Both babies are now able to sit up and eat solids.

My 10 year high school reunion was this past weekend. At first I wasn’t going to go but as we got closer to the date I decided, this is one of those, once in a life time events that you should go to and that if I didn’t I would always say, what if? So I went. I took the babies and Jaden and we went the night before to the football game at the high school. It was fun and I’m so glad I went. Everyone was really nice and warming. They all liked my kids and even Jaden had fun at the football game. We came home and he told me that, “they even had a marching band”. I didn’t even know he knew what that was. He’s such a cutie.

Out of our class of 450 something people, only 27 showed up. Sad, but it was fun.

Thank heavens my good friend, Warren Grantham and his wife Megan were there to talk to. We also sat with Eddie Mott and Lisa Faulker. We had a blast reminiscing about the past.

Jaden has been practicing writing his abc’s and he’s been doing a great job. We are working on his reading and he’s so far doing so well. I had him start reading a small little phonics' book and I almost started crying when he read his first sentence. It was just precious.

In Jaden’s room he had stuff all over the floor and it just felt a little cluttered, there really wasn’t a “home” for everything so I thought of putting in a book shelf to house his stuff so his floor was free of clutter. I think it turned out great.  Only $26 too!!

P1130708In the picture frames we are going to put pictures of Jaden’s grandparents so he will always be able to see them and remember who they are. While we were at it. We also went through and labeled everything.

The boys are so happy to play with all their toys. We rotate them out so they never get tired of them. This is were I hide them.

He’s teething, can you tell?

Jaden is now in the mode where he doesn’t like to pose for the camera.

Fall is in full swing in our house! I love the fall!! We are even going to make a pumpkin roll this Sunday Night as a family activity and we broke out the coco-motion maker for the first time tonight!!  Yummy!! The fun creamers are already out in stores!

This fall we started Jaden in soccer. So far he loves it. He will practice in the house all the time. Even getting in his cleats and shin guards.

The babies love taking baths! Preston on the left, Landon on the right.

Every time they get a bath we lotion them up and they absolutely love the mini message they get.

Today was the first day that both babies tried a puff! Messy eaters. I feed both babies at the same time. One is in the normal high chair and the other one sits on top of the table in a booster seat. I just go back and forth from one to the other. Same spoon, same food. I figure if one is going to get sick the other one will too. so why not make it easy on myself.

Anyway there you go. Way  more information than you wanted I’m sure.

Had a blast talking with you Friday and Saturday. It is funny how some people don't ever grow up...

I can't believe your kids are growing up so fast. In my mind it feels like you just had the twins a month ago. They sure are cute, even if they have to grow up :)

I don't even recognize most of the people in the pictures. Your boys are getting so big! Is Jaden in Kindergarten?
