Our Holiday Card.......

Waking up from his nap....Alden LOVES his blankie that Laura gave to him :)

Carson and Alden in their cute Baby's First Christmas pjs that Grandma Kathy and Pops gave them - how cute!!!!

As most of you know, this year we decided not to send a holiday card since we just did baby announcements a few months ago. However, we may still do a new years card if we get a great picture during Christmas. To tide you over......here is our electronic holiday card, from our entire family, including our dog, Maggie.


I must share my brother, Scott and his wife Logan's (and their dog Bandit) holiday card too - they inspired me - how funny are these!!!! http://elfyourself.jibjab.com/view/6X3XkcPXAmr3NOriyNvG

The Holidays Begin!

Carson is so happy - this is the first time he rolled over in front of us - on the island in the kitchen at bathtime! We were so happy to have the camera ready and check out this grin!!

Alden - getting happier and happier at tummy time - he was making conversation with his octopus :)

Auntie LA and Uncle Mike at the Tharpe Family Christmas party this weekend - who are those debonair gentlemen with them???? LA and Mike have not seen the babies since they were 6 weeks old!!!!

Uncle Mike was so happy to see the boys too - he and Alden are just chillin' by the tree at cousin Todd and Dawn's house.

Flip Flop!

Last night, Carson starting fussing around 2:30 am, I saw on the monitor that he had shimmied himself to one far side of the crib. So, I went in there to move him back and realized that he was on his tummy! He turned over for the first time last night - how exciting!!! We have been watching him for a few weeks now and he has been so close.

It is amazing to see this mantle full of stockings this year! Yes, you see 5 of them - we cannot forget our first baby, Maggie - our puggle. She is right in the middle. Santa will have his hands full this year! Thank you to Uncle Leon and Aunt Ellie for these fabulous stockings for the boys!!!

Naked babies!!! After a fresh change, they decided to chill a bit in their diapers and played with their bunnies :)


We went to see the lights again at Dorothy Oven park, this time with Mimi and Grandpa. I got this cute shot of the boys checking out the fully lit Gazebo - they were entranced!

Clockwise from the top, starting with Carson in blue, Camille, Colson, Reagan, Jackson, Pearl, Dawson, Alden, Aiden, Grayson. Woo! What a bundle - 10 babies!!! Auntie LA is from Denver too, which has been great. More pics to come of LA and the boys soon :)

5 Months!!!

Today, Alden and Carson are 5 months old! Needless to say, we cannot believe it has already been 5 months! In the past month, we have had more activity than in the previous 4 months combined! Since they got the OK to meet new people, they have met many new friends and many long-awaiting family members on Thanksgiving Day.

As of today, Alden weighs 12 lbs and Carson weighs 11.7 lbs so they're still growing very well! We do not go back to the Doctor until they are 6 months old but we weighed them at home today.

Mimi, Mom, Dad, the boys and Maggie - the caboose of the turkey trot - we were not setting any records. Grandpa was taking the picture ahead of us!
