A Day at the Museum

We have a membership to the Anchorage Museum and the kids really like to go there. We went March of 2010 to the Star Wars exhibit with our friends the Barneys and the kids loved it. I think I may have posted about that...if not, I will later.

This post is the kids at the museum at the Imaginarium. The love that place! I really only have pics of them playing with bubbles, because they were the first thing we saw and then we got so caught up in having fun we forgot to take pictures!

Trip to the 'banks!

We made a trip up to Fairbanks this summer (when we celebrated the twins' birthday) and had some fun with my parents and grandparents. I absolutely LOVE the relationship my kids have with them, they always have fun together. We had BBQs at my folks' house, went to the muskox farm, and went to the glow in the dark mini golf.

Baseball Season

Hunter and Walker both played baseball this last summer and LOVED it...they had better, it's in their blood on both sides! Hunter played for the New York Yankees and played coach pitch baseball, but they actually used a pitching machine. Walker played t-ball and played for the Texas Rangers...yes, we heard, "Walker Texas Ranger" all summer from his coaches, they thought it was pretty funny and so did we...the first time!

Conner and Kooper Turned One

That's right, that twins turned 1...way back On May 9, 2010!!! You could say that I am a little behind on this post! We celebrated Conner and Kooper's birthday in June up in Fairbanks with my parents, grandparents and the Barney Family (our BFFs!). Since we weren't home and Rikk didn't want to make a mess of my mom's kitchen, we got a cupcake cake made for the twins. It was really cute...although I am positive that Rikk would have made a cuter cake!

Conner, we call our lazy baby...we totally mean that with love! He is standing and saying a few words, but loves to have you do EVERYTHING for him. He has zero interest in walking or pulling himself onto the couch or onto anything for that matter! Infact, when he wants up on the couch he just stands there and yells at you until you do it! He is so cute and squishy!

Kooper, he is our little go-getter! This kid is VERY independent. He is pulling himself upto stand and is talking up a storm. Kooper loves to stand, crawl around and climbs onto EVERYTHING! He can maneuver that little nub in unbelieveable ways. And Kooper is so stinkin' smart. If he isn't tall enough to climb onto something, then he scoots something over to where he wants to climb up, climbs onto that, then climbs onto his final destination.

Conner and Kooper have been such a blessing in our lives, we could not imagine our family without them and we are thankful everyday for them. Hunter, Walker and Kyler just LOVE them and can't get enough of them and neither can Rikk and I! Happy Birthday Conner and Kooper, we love you BIG much!!!
