"Sun"-sational Week!

We love going to the park! I think William and Mallory swung for 30 minutes straight!

Both William and Mallory like finding the pine cones and throwing them in the water!

Here's William checking out the "bullbozers" on the hill... soooooooooo adorable!

Mallory was the only daring one to go down the "big" slide!

They love the tunnel...

Look at the ants! Look at the ants!

Twin Love!

Of course... it wouldn't be a complete week, if we didn't go to the zoo! This week, we went with our friends, Bella, Meika, and my work friend, Kammie! We had a terrific day! I adore this picture of Bella, Mallory, and William!

Meika is such a sweetie baby!

William and Mallory are fascinated with the scuba divers cleaning the tank... William even turned his motorcycle guys from home into scuba divers!

Mallory saying this about William --- "Baby handsome, Mommy!"

William saying this about Mallory --- "Mallry pretty, Mommy!"

Mi-Ma giving Mallory and William pony rides... My mom is such an excellent Grandma!

Grandma Bob also known as, "Pi-Pa Bob", attended the last Kindermusik with us! It was a blast! This day we were practiced being whales with our scarves... and every time the music switched to high... our scarves went high in the air too! Check out where Mallory landed her scarf... Silly little lady! Hee-Hee-Hee!!!

Church time! In the 2 pictures below Mallory and William are looking their finest in their nice clothes for Church... Wow, Church has gotten to be a lot easier with our twinners! They are doing such a good job sitting and praying. We also continue to feel so proud as Mallory and William walk up the aisle to give their money to "fadder" (Father Salanitro).

We still love our chooo-chooo's!

Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th of July!!! It is hard to believe that this is the third 4th of July for Mallory and William... where is the time going? Well... it was another FANTASTIC holiday with family and friends! The day started out by our twins making fireworks paintings with scouring pads and red and blue finger paints. They loved painting so much, that I had to quick come up with a new distraction... so I told them, we were going to "cook". We made a simple 4th of July salad out of yogurt, blueberries, and raspberries. Mallory and William love to stir and dump ingredients into their very own bowl... one by one! :0)

Since Mallory and William wouldn't wear the goofy star glasses, Kelly (my forever awesome friend) came through for me... and Andrew and Thomas also posed with us and their cutie smiles. But as I told Andrew... his star guitar glasses are way cooler!

We love the Grandma's!!!!

Thomas and Andrew waving their flags proudly...

Thomas is really loving his Nee-Nee! He has such a sweet smile and laugh!

Mallory's new trike...

William's new trike...

We really enjoyed having the Connelly's, Herrley's, Carroll's, and Lawler's over... of course, Mi-Ma was there...and my dear friend, Glen, who just lost his wife came over for a visit too! (Glen and Dorothy are my mom's age... but Dorothy will forever remind me of Grandma Herrley.) It really was a special day, because Katie, John, and the kids were leaving to go back to Chicago, and they still made it for our BBQ and 4th of July fun! It was adorable when Katie said to me... I love that you have 2 of everything... you see, Katie and John have twin 18 month olds. :) :)

Eileen... they call her "Queeny". She is the only girl with 3 older brothers. Gotta love it!

Emmett... he reminds me of the Connelly side! What a honey!

Here are the men... if I were to guess, they were talking about Husker football. ;)

Here is Jack and Brendan... they both are so kind and good to all the little kids!

Grandma Sue with Eileen... you see Gma Sue LOVES lady bugs, and Eileen is wearing lady bug jammies... Awwww! Darling!

Here Mike is trying to show William and Mallory how to blow into a whistle... Mike did an amazing job manning the grill! We had the best brats and burgers!!!

Red... White... Zoo!

The "borillas" were very active on the the 3rd of July! Every corner we turned, the "borillas" were banging on the glass. They were really looking for attention... it always startles me, but I try to stay cool for our Mallory and William. Our twins haven't gotten too scared... yet. Mallory and William always think the "borillas" look grouchy! We agree...

Mallory, William, and Daddy still really enjoy feeding the fish! Sometimes we hang out on this bridge for 20 minutes... it is pretty fascinating!

Here are the fish we feed...

Here are the monkeys that are by the fish we feed... Mallory and William still like calling them "Ah-Ah's"!

This rhino is wallowing in the mud... Mallory and William kept saying over and over again on the car ride home... That rhino needs to take a bath! Cool fun fact: Did you know that if a rhino breaks it's horn, it will grow back. Their horns are made of keratin... just like our fingernails. Hmmmm... pretty nerdy of me to share, but I thought it was cool.
