This has been the month for visitors

Jeremiah, Shelli and Shayla came up from Colorado and stopped in to visit us for the afternoon. Cody, Kristy and Kayla came over, too, so we had a full house again. I got to experience two two-year-olds (Shayla is over two and Kayla is almost two) in my house. I can hardly wait until that is a daily occurrence. (I hope you can feel the sarcasm in that statement.)

Here Shelli is with all the little girls.








Jeremiah and Shayla.












I got a picture of Cody this time. But I didn't get another picture of Kristy, which she probably appreciates. :-)

Another Cute Picture

This is a lot of posts from me in one day. I'm currently taking advantage of the fact that Ray is distracting the babies. Also, I wanted to add this picture before I forgot.
The girls were watching the road construction that has just resumed on our street. We may eventually get pavement again, although the 2" of rain in the last 48 hours has slowed progress. The babies got to listen to the road construction for the first month of their lives, now they can watch it.

A Moment to Preserve for Posterity...

Ruby actually smiled for the camera!!! It was a one-time event so it needs to be saved. Usually when she sees the camera she just stares. This one time, she actually smiled and held the smile until the picture was taken. (I don't know what was causing the shadow across her face.)
Yes, Jenn, they are in matching outfits again. I don't dress them in matching outfits all that often, but when I do I take pictures.

Visitors, Part III

I know I'm slow with this post. I'm trying to get it up before I have more visitors. I guess this has been the month for everyone from Colorado to travel to Wyoming. I'm just wondering when my family is going to get up here?

Eileen and Kay are the daughters of Aunt Joan, Grandma Jean's twin sister.

Here is Eileen with Cora:
Kay and Bob with Ruby:

More Visitors

Ray's mom and sister came for a short visit. Here are pictures of the girls with Grandma and Aunt Julie. It was a lot of fun to have them here. The girls were certainly sad to see them leave. (When I'm here by myself they don't get held as much.)












Grandma and Julie were even brave enough to feed the girls. Although, Julie tried feeding Ruby once and would only feed Cora after that. Ruby is a bit more of a challenge to get food into.

Mother's Day

This morning I was greeted by this on the table:

Inside:

My babies already have autographs!!

Visitors

Ray thinks this post will encourage everyone to come visit us, just so you all can make an appearance on this blog. That is everyone's goal, right?


We had visitors last weekend. I know I'm slow putting these pictures up. It's hard to find the time with two babies wanting my attention. Anyway, here are some pictures of the girls with everyone.

Great Grandma Jean










Great Aunt Linda and Cousin Kristy







Cousin Kayla. I like this last picture because it really captures the way Ruby always reacted to Kayla. Cody was also here but I didn't get a picture of him. (Sorry, Cody.)

It was so much fun to see everyone. We are so far from family that we just don't get visitors often enough.
