Soccer!!

Kicking the ball in.

Going for the ball (in orange )

Yes! We are just that much fun!

Out by one of her coaches... not daddy

Ready for soccer practice.

And here is her water bottle

This is our mean looking soccer pose

Kameryn had her first 2 practices and her first game!! She has been so excited but is a little timid towards the ball. She loves running around with the kids though! We really just want her to get a little more aggressive and learn how to work as a team. And of course to have FUN!! Richard had fun coaching her! I didn't get many photos because I left my camera in the car first half and then my camera was messing up but I will get some next game.

M&M are doing great. Pulling up on things, getting into things... The typical fun things babies do at this age! We got the whole living room gated off so they can't get into too much trouble. Kameryn always tells me when I forget to shut it and I get a little friend following me.

On a side note... Kameryn said she was done being a drama queen and we can take the sign out of her room. Good to know..

Here are some new family pictures. My mom took them and did a great job. The kids loved having their pictures taken outside.

9 Months old!!!

Kam being sassy :) Love it!

Makenzie Benzie is 9 Months!!!

DD is too :)

Awww so cute! I love these babies :)

All my girls. Sorry Kam I cut you off a little. For some reason they were not wanting to get closer.

Maddie and Kenzie are 9 months old. Time has flown by. Yesterday they had their appointment. They were not excited at all about the shots. It is very hard for a mom of twins to take her babies to get shots because you want to comfort them forever but the next baby has to get hers. Anyways they are doing great. Growing, growing growing... Makenzie is 19lbs 5 ozs and 27 inches long. Maddie is 18 lbs 1 oz and 28 inches long. Both of them can now say Mama and Dada. So exciting. I am starting to think Maddie knows what it means too. Today someone was holding her and she stuck her arms out to me and said mama. So cute :) At the end of their appt yesterday the doctor said... see you at 12 months. Wow is 12 months really coming up. This does not seem possible.

Kameryn is doing good. Had a blast at the spray park. Had a blast at soccer practice yesterday. She did really good too! I am so proud! Can't wait to see her games. At this age they are so cute playing. I kept laughing at how some of the kids would kick the ball and then look back at their parents to see if they were watching. Kameryn ran over for a water break and her face was bright red. Looks like she gets that from Mommy! :)

Fun, Fun

The girls :)

Princess Makenzie :) Kameryn put the crown on her head she was not too happy.

This weekend has went by way too fast...

Kameryn is super excited about soccer which practice starts on Thursday!! She has everything ready to go and even picked out #3 as her number for her uniform. She is also excited for preschool but that doesn't start until Sept. We are anxiously awaiting to find out who her teacher is going to be. This weekend we went out and got all her school supplies. She was super excited about that. Of course she wanted a new backpack but the High School Musical one she had from last year looked brand new. I told her she could get a new one next year for Kindergarten.

They had fun tonight at Richards softball game. Madalynn and Makenzie love being the center of the attention when we are out in public. They both however have been biting like crazy. Luckily it has only been me and Richard. On Saturday Madalynn got my lip really good. Thats what I get for thinking she was wanting a kiss :)

This weekend we went and had pictures taken with my whole family. The kids really enjoyed it. We did too! It was nice seeing everyone. Crazy how big my family has gotten! I will post some pics when we get them! We also had family pics done of just us. My mom took them and I know they are going to be awesome. I will post them too soon. Kameryn was such a model for my mom :) Madalynn and Makenzie made her work for even the slightest happy face.

August is here!!!

Maddie and Grandpa

Makenzie MAC!!!

Kam and Daddy playing with her new doll house!

Isn't this what yours supposed to do to get your toys (climb over your sister?)

OMG is that Hannah Montana?

I can not believe it is August already. This summer has just flown by. Soon Kameryn will be back at preschool. She doesn't officially start until early September. This year she is a Bigger Angel (that is what her school calls her age). She is so excited that she gets to go to class in the lower part of the preschool. Funny the things that amuze them. We are going shopping this weekend for school clothes and supplies. Kameryn is super excited and so am I! I love back to school time but hate her being gone an extra day. I can't even image how hard its going to be when she goes to kindergarten next year.

This year Kameryn is also starting soccer. She has been out practicing with Richard all the time. This is a big thing for Kameryn because up until now anything that involved running was out. She is such a girl! Atleast at soccer she will not have a dress on that she can twirl in :)

Madalynn and Makenzie are doing awesome. Getting more teeth by day and changing by the minute. Makenzie was laying down the other day and was pulling a blanket over her head and quickly pulling it down to play peek a boo. First time she has ever done that. It was sooo cute! It is so much fun when they learn to do things. She also is clapping all the time now. As of yesterday they both have gone from their bellys to their bottoms. They are also both trying to pull up and stand. I don't see walking too far in the distance.

Madalynn was doing the cutest thing last night. We went to the night at against crime here (great thing for the kids by the way) and we tied Kameryns ballon onto the stroller well it kept blowing towards her and she was giggling so loud. She kept pulling it closer to her and she thought it was hilarious. This must have gone on for 30 mins. I am glad she can entertain herself. Madalynn is really liking being down to play. Now that they can crawl, they want to go go go.

Richard is doing good. I know he is ready for work to slow down a bit. He has been extremely busy. He is playing softball for our church. I know he has been enjoying that. I think he is using muscles though that haven't been used in a while. This week he was really sore afterwards. I guess that is just the old age talking. :) He is also going to coach Kameryn in soccer. He is extremely excited about that. He is great with kids so I know he will do well.

I have been doing good too. Keeping busy but that is always good. Finished all my twilight books and trying not to listen in when others say some book was good. I got so wrapped up in twilight that I am sure Richard thought I was non-existant during the time I was reading it. Sunday school for summer is coming to an end soon. It has been tough this summer because Richard has been getting Madalynn and Makenzie ready because I left before they finished their bottles. I know that has been hard on Richard because mornings are not his friends. I don't think I will sign on for the fall but will when the girls get a little older. I have really enjoyed it this year!

Anyways that is all for now. Will update soon!
