So Sweet!!

Twins sure can wear you out!!

(This picture was too cute not to post.)

Tinkerbell

Tinkerbell loves to play in the snow just like

our other girls. This is before the big storm hit.

She loves to bury her face in the snow. She wasn't

too sure after we got 18 or so inches and she jump

off the front porch and couldn't walk through

the snow. After that we had to force her

out the door...it's was pretty funny.

She's our other baby!!

5months 4days

My babies are 5 months and 4 days old- I am a little late posting. It is so hard to believe the time is just going so fast. They are doing so much!! It's a lot of fun watching them learn new things. They are pushing up quite a bit on their arms when they lay on their tummies, they also get on their knees but they don't do both together...not yet. Rae and Ri love to talk and interact with each other, it's so cute!! We couldn't wait for them to realize that their best friend was with them all of the time. They love each other you can see it in their little faces they smile at each other and just talk and coo...adorable!! We love them so much, more and more everyday. They bring so much joy to our lives!! They are also starting to suck on their toys as well as their blankets, fists etc. They are increasingly more and more squirmy. They are getting around in their own ways. Not sure how much they weigh we don't go back to the doctor until next month. They sure do seem like they are growing they are almost out of their 0-3mo. clothing. I was giving them a bath last night and it hit me how much they have grown they are starting to fill out their baby tub. I can't imagine all the things they will be doing next month. We get to start rice cereal I'm excited for that but not Daddy. We are probably going to be hitting Babies R Us this weekend to pick out matching high chairs. For all my friends with multiples they give a discount for twins and more Toys R Us does too. We need all the savings we can get. I still haven't decided on the DNA test but I'll let you know if we do it. Thank you Grandma Rita and Papa Dale and Aunt Jenna the babies and big sisters spent Saturday night at Grandma's house and Mommy and Daddy got to have an early Valentine's Day. It was so nice, we slept through the night for the first time in 5 months. It was much needed and it felt great. Thanks guys we love you and thank you for taking such good care of our girls. I missed them to pieces!!

Snow day number 2

Day 2 with no school!! The girls are enjoying our blast of winter. We almost made it, up until this point we hadn't really had any snow. The ground hog saw
his shadow and Mama was counting down the days til spring. :0)Then whammy!! 14inches or something to that affect. The girls were so excited to go out and play, too bad they could hardly walk through it... They had a great time though. Take a look at the picture of them standing by the sidewalk -- look at how tall the snow is!! They say it has been 13 years since we've had this much snow.

Identical or Faternal????

We found out we were expecting twins when I was 10 weeks pregnant. An early ultrasound was done because the doctor couldn't find the babies heart beat. One stroke of the wand and there THEY where. They were in separate sacs but according to the specialist at a much later ultrasound shared a single placenta. He was straight forward, no doubt in his mind-identical! I wanted them to be healthy first and foremost and then hoped they would be identical. The question is if they are truly identical why is it that only Reagan has a dimple?? Hmmm....well we could do a DNA test not quite as expensive as I thought or just wait and see. It's hard not to see the unbelievable resemblance. What do you think?

P.S. the genetic DNA test runs $160. they mail it right to your house you swab inside the babies cheek and send it back - the results are emailed or snail mailed back in 7-10 days.

Daddy and his babies

Here's to the best daddy in the world. I just wanted to post and give you a quick glimpse into a typical day in the Hunt household. It all starts at around 7:15am, Daddy gets up starts breakfast for Makenna and Chloe while Mommy catches a few more winks since she is still getting up in the middle of the night to nurse the babies. Daddy runs Chloe's bath if she didn't get it in the night before. Then he wakes Mommy so she can pick out the girls clothes and start the hair do's. In the meantime Daddy is either soothing Rae and Ri or ironing the big girls clothes. Then if baths/showers were required Daddy will pitch in and start blow drying Makenna or Chloe's hair. What a guy! Then he starts with the count down...i.e. it's 8:00, its 8:15 are we almost done...lol. The girls get dressed Mommy does the finishing touches on their hair while Daddy checks the backpacks and warms up the van. At approx. 8:35-8:40am ten minutes after Daddy already wanted to leave the girls are out the door on their way to school. Daddy then comes home and Mommy gets ready for work and heads out. Should be 9:00am but usually more around 9:30. The babies usually get hungry when I'm in the biggest hurry. Daddy then is home with the twins alone until around 2:00pm. Mommy comes through the door just in time for Daddy to get showered and ready to go out and keep our town safe!! This is about what a great Daddy my girls have so no need to go into Mommy night. I just wanted to say how awesome my husband is and that I appreciate him SO much!!! Also, I think God saw how good you were with Kenna and Chloe he figured you were the perfect guy for 4 daughters. ;) I love you Joshua, you are everything I always wanted!!

Ah, to be young again

Chloe had a busy evening,

she made Ravioli for dinner,

she did the laundry and

she ironed her doll clothes

well except for the ones that

had to hang dry.

I NEED HELP!!

I am wanting to paint a mural (kitchen scene) on the walls in the girls play area. Maybe you can help me with my dilemma. I have no idea what color to paint the wall. Here is my concept. I want to paint the wall and paint a window above the sink, a clock above the stove and possibly a cabinet above the refrigerator. Any suggestions on the colors I should use???? I would like to paint the window frame white as well as the cabinet. I really need to decide on the wall color and curtain color. I would love to hear your input. Thanks I'll post pictures when it's complete.

Lost and Found

We now have a lost and found box in our home...lol. Funny, huh?! Well you see we found a hat that didn't belong to anyone in our home. I made a silly comment about how we should have a lost and found, well you can't tell that to a kindergartner. She knows all about lost and found boxes there is one at her school. No prob mommy I can make us one. By the way we just figured one of our neighborhood friends left it behind.

Twins Poem...

Here we are, it's plain to see,

I'm just like you, you're just like me.

Two grow together from the start,

Beneath our Mother's loving heart.

Though soon we'll walk a separate path,

You'll always be my other half.

Lord, Thank you from us both, Amen.

'Cause we were born with our best friend.
