Home Sweet Home

After 13 weeks of traveling and guests, it will be nice to be home for a few weeks!  The girls sure are glad to be home.  I have taken some random pictures of them playing this past week.

They are CRAZY aobut water right now so I decided to take one of my dishes and fill it with water and let them play...
Hayley diving in...

Hannah decided to go for a swim...
The simple things in life (a dish and water) can make these two so happy!!

Here are a couple more pictures of the girls...

LOVE my girls and we are all so glad to be home!!

Peyton James Lewis

On Wednesday, March 21, 2010, I became an aunt again!  That's right I have two nephews that are about 1 1/2 months apart.  Cecil Ray's twins both found out they were expecting right after we had the girls.  Therefore, Grandma and Grandpa went from two gradkids to SIX in one year!!  We left Friday to go meet baby Peyton and he was SO cute!
Crystal and Peyton...

We TRIED to get a good picture of all six of the grandkids but this is the best I got...

We are gonig to have SO much fun at Christmas.  There will be a 10 year old, 5 year old, two 17 month olds, a 9 month old and an eight month old!!

It was a quick trip, we left on Saturday but we did get to see the family and it was great!!  I can't wait to watch all these kids grow up together, it will be so fun!!

Dallas (well, Keller) Days 9 & 10

We arrived at the Benefield's Friday afternoon.  We were going to stay there because our cousin Brooke is getting married to Hunter Hughes on June 5, and I had to do my Matron of Honor duties and go to the showers.  The shower on Saturday (day 9) was in Weatherford...
Brooke and Nancy...
Kim (Hunter's mom),
There was another little girl at the shower and the girls had such a great time playing with her.
You can't tell in this picture but for once Hannah is not being a bully, she is kissing her new friend.  I tried to get her in action but this is the best I got...

Hayley was enjoying a drink...

Then, on Sunday, she had another shower in Dallas.
Matron of Honor, Bride and the Flower girls...
This is reall the only picture of people I got, I was taking pictures with Brooke's camera so she would have lot of pictures.  It was a beautiful shower also and Brooke was beautiful as always!  Can't wait for her wedding!!

After the shower, we left for Brashear, TX.  That's where Nannie and Papaw live (my grandparents).  We were going to stay the night with them since they are an hour closer to Hot Springs and we needed to visit with them too.
Nannie did some laundry for us...
Papaw enjoys playing with and holding the girls...
Before we left, Hannah was so sleepy, she crashed...
I didn't get a picture of Nannie with the girls but, we will next time!!

That ends our "10 Days in Dallas" trip!  It was SOOOO much fun!!  We had a great time seeing everyone!!

Dallas Days 7 & 8

Thursday and Friday in Dallas were just as fun!  On Thursday morning, the girls and I got ready and met some friends at the park.  This was the girls first trip to the park (where they got out and "played") and their first offical playdate so I took a lot of pictures.  We had such a great time...

After the park, the girls and I came back to Mima's to eat, nap, and play some...
Hayley was OBSESSED with this turtle...
Hannah LOVED the low window in the kitchen because she could see out...
That night, we had Randy, Christie, Morgan & Gyvonne over for dinner.
Here is Hayley, Morgan, Hannah, and Christie...

If you remember on day two we went to the Mom's of Multiples sale in Allen.  Well, I got the girls a bath seat while we were there and they tried it out...

It was a HIT!! Now I just have to find another one.

Now, onto Day 8 (Friday).  Mima took off for the day so and paid for me to go get a MUCH needed pedicure while she watched the girls.  It was WONDERFUL!!

The girls playing...

After I got back from my pedi, we left for Keller to stay with The Benefields for two night!!  We had such a great time at Mima's.  It was great to get to spend so much time with her, family, and friends!!

Dallas Days 5 & 6

Day's 5 & 6 in Dallas were eventful too!  On Tuesday (day 5), the girls and I hung out around the house and went to dinner with one of our good family friends, Carol Ann...
We also went shopping at SAM MOON!! I love that place!

Then, on Wednesday, the girls and I went up to Mor Pak (my family's business) to see the family!  They had a great time (girls and family)...

Aunt B, Hannah, Christie, Hayley
Playing around the office...
As most of you know, I have twin uncles and this was the first time we were able to get the twins with the twins!
Hannah, Uncle Jerry, Hayley, Uncle Terry
(Oldest holding oldest, youngest holding youngest)
When we got home the girls played for a little while.  We don't let the girls watch much TV at all.  They can watch Elmo and that's about it.  So, when they hear him, he has ALL their attention...
Later that night, we had dinner plans with our BFF's, Seana, Dani, & Jake!  We went to eat at Red Robin (I had never been there and it was great!)  We had such a good time besides the fact that Hayley threw up everywhere because she put so many puffy's in her mouth...fun times with kids.  Anyway, we did get some great pictures though...
(Did you notice all the babies and bottles?)
Seana and the girls...
Dani and Hayley...
All of us
(Hannah, Seana, Dani, Hayley, Me, Jake)
Seana is a pro at this twin thing, I hope she has twins too...
After we ate, we dropped with kids off and the three of us went to TGIF's and talked for HOURS just like old times.  It was the best night we have all had in a while (together).  It was SO much fun to see them!!
