Ukiah 2013

This memorial day weekend we went to Ukiah Oregon (eastern part of OR) where the roberts family have tradition of going camping and hunting. Last year we had to skip out due to being on bedrest so it was exciting to take the boys on their first trip there. Tom had a game wednesday near McMinnville and if he won that first state game then he would hav eto play friday. Which meant no Ukiah. So i decided to go up wednesday to watch the game and then if he won and couldnt go camping i was going to take the kiddos over with the family by myself for the weekend. (ok so luckily) tom's team lost and the season was over so he got to come with us! YAY! We left friday morning while everyone else left thursday night. We got there and it was raining. and it was cold. We set up the tent and then finally it started to get nice. We went on some drives and then went to this little hole in the wall cafe (and i mean ukiah has what seems to be a few hundred people in this town. ITTY bitty) and got some ice cream. Then saturday it was really nice and we spent a lot of the morning outside hanging out with everyone. We then went to Julie and Alex's fitness club (they live about 30 minutes away) and went swimming. Well i didnt go swimming... so i took pictures. Didnt matter anyways because once colton went under water he was not having it! 

We then had an awesome campfire with everyone (cousins included) and made smores. 

Sunday was really rainy and cold. Mom and dad drove a few hours away to look at a property so they were gone most of the day. Monday we headed to the truck stop for breakfast before heading home. oh yeah... we tried sleepin in the tent the first night... until at 130 in the morning we realized it was about 28 degrees outside. not like we could put the boys under the sleeping bags so we crashed mom and dads trailer. and dulany now insists we need to go buy a perfect trailer.

fair warning. i have sooooo many pics so ill try to pick out my favorites

and finally a picture of all 5 of us!

Standing Mr. C

this little man has been trying to stand up for a few weeks now. He would get to both his knees against something and then he would get on one knee and one leg but get stuck. Yesterday tom looked over and was like "wait did you put him like that or did he get up by himself?" he definitely did it himself! Then When i went to go check on Mr. C during his nap i came in to find him like this! 

"Hi mom, no i dont want to nap!"

This is seriously just too stinkin cute.

today he just climbed right up on the play table. No problems at all like he's been doing it for months.

then of course he went right after Mr. K's hair... yikes. poor kiddo.

And now its the furniture. Seriously he is getting ahead of himself and he's learning to do things WAY too fast. i cant keep up with im as it is. The kid is a speed crawler. We can't leave ANY doors open (stupid house cant hold a gate...) and i have to vacuum and sweep many times a day. 

i can even do it one handed! 

before i know it he's going to be walking and im going to be in BIG trouble. He definitely doesnt seem to be "behind" developmentally(considering his actual age is only 8.5 months) where as Mr K is a little behind (he does always come up about a month or 2 behind what colton does... right now he's rolling all over the place and i can tell he wants to get those knees under him.. which is fine. I can really only deal with one mobile kid for the moment!)

10 Months!

Happy 10 Months to my Little Men!

holy cow in 2 months these little men will be turning 1!

AHH! 

so crazy to think!

anyways here is a little about these guys.

Kemp:

Rolling ALL over the place. thats how he gets around.

He's been sleeping through the night for awhile now.

He now sleeps on his belly. 

about 20 lbs! this kid is huge. 

hair is still out of control!

he loves being outside

loves his little lion he sleeps with.

his new favorite thing is to make sounds using his fingers to his lips. He will also try to do it to other people's lips too. 

He loves to give open mouth kisses

still a snuggler which i LOVE!

this kid loves his big sis. he laughs at EVERYTHING she does.

(*ie... yesterday i heard him laughing hysterically and turn around and D is practically hitting him with her "baby".. its soft but i still said "no way!" but i thought it was funny that he thought it was so funny)

he loves to eat! hes our chunky monkey. He does really good with table foods now but still has a little bit of trouble picking up food and getting it into his mouth

he has 2 teeth!

Colton:

Crawling everywhere.

he is so dang fast. i cant keep up

starting to climb onto furniture. he gets one leg up and one knee (like he's proposing!) but gets stuck.

he is a momma's boy. Oh my goodness. Always crawling to my feet or and wants to be held.

his hair is getting SO thick. im not sure how to cut it or if i should try to take him in (the problems with having boys... wish i could just let him grow it all out!)

He still wakes up about 1x a night to eat.

this kid def. has roberts in him.. he lieks to be up and ready to play at 630 every morning. on the dot. doesnt matter what time he goes to sleep!

He loves loves loves food now. He does so well at picking up table/finger foods. His favorite are those yogurt melts. he devours them in seconds.

this kid is all muscle. its crazy how strong his legs are and how he can pull himself up onto things.

(oh yes, the crib will be lowerd tonight for sure! he will crawl really fast over to the side of the crib that faces the door and climb up so he's looking right at you when the door opens. its too cute not to be mad when he's not napping!) Today i caught him playing with the sheet thats hanging over the window to make their room darker.

this kid still has no teeth. the 2 bottom ones have been swollen for what seems like 2 months now. And the darn teeth havent broken through yet. Today it seems like they are SOO close but i say that about almost every day. I will be shocked if it doesnt happen soon.

"im coming to get you mom!"

Foods they started to eat this month: . Puffs, Yogurt melts, Pieces of bread, scrambled eggs, cheerios, banana, peas and carrots and pancakes.

they are starting to interact more. Colton just wants to climb all over his brother and pull his hair but lately kemp has started to fight back. OK more like defend himself. But of course now that i start saying "no...." colton thinks its funny and laughs and tries again!

they have started to make each other laugh.

they have sympathy cries and laughs. Its kinda funny!

these two couldnt be anymore different though> They look different, act different. You would never think they were twins.

unless you count when they both poop at the same time everyday. its too funny.

gotta love these boys. I cant believe they will be 1 soon. It seriously seems like yesterday i was visiting them in the NICU. I cant believe how small they used to be either and how big they are now. They are on the right track for their birthday and even ahead in some aspects of their actual due date. 

(really they are only 8.5 months. SO weird!)

here are some more pics i got of the boys today!

and D requested she be in them. messy crazy hair included.

 these 2 pics make me think they are def twins.

hahaha poor kid tried to run away. i put him back. not happy!

stealing the toy.

in other news: Tom's softball team had their play off game last night to qualify for state. THEY WON! im really proud of him esp considering this is his first year coaching softball. They have done SO much better this season then last season and i think this is the first year they've gone to state in 5 years. Woo hoo!

not going to lie. i cant wait till softball is over so i can get my husband back.

Dulany always tells daddy she doesnt want him to go to work and wants him to stay home.

and then only 1 more month of school and we get tom home with us for the summer!
