Memorial Day 2011 on the Compound...

This is the Twinks last year Memorial Day 2010, they were still chub-a-wubba 

 They look the same just much more slender, oh the difference in my babies in a year

 Brooklyn, Charlotte, Grayson, Keaton, Justin

Uncle Bubba showing his Skills with Chandler & Brandon. If you lined those three up shoulder to shoulder, u would think they were brothers. Jared said he put a "hurting" on his nephews, but I don't know...

 

Brooklyn eating Aunt Connie's famous homemade  ice cream

 Aunt Connie & Grayson, I think he ate 3 bowls of Chocolate ice cream w/Strawberries.. She has a friend for life!

Allie Grace & Caitlyn Gretta.
I still wonder how these two got so grown up. 2 peas in a pod!

 3 Sets of Twins @ the Ruppert house that day. Keaton & Graham Ruppert, Charlie & Gray, Rhys & Rafe Ruppert.  Pictured here on the right.  They are so cute and just a ball to watch! Busy, Busy, Busy..

On Saturday of Memorial Weekend we met Aunt Ev at the Farmers Market. She took this of the kiddos.  Everyone laughs at how he wears his sunshades upside down, but he is a smart cookie, they don't fall of his little nose this way.  Gotta love being 3. 

This, That, What, Wait, Why?

Oh the joys of having 3 year old twins.  Everyday is something new.  Charlotte's Estrogen is screaming thru her veins now.  She is very protective of everything! (if her brother wants it)  God love her she sleeps like a rock, may take her awhile to get to sleep, but she stays in her bed & finally "gives up the ghost" as we call it at the Knox Casa.  She is an amazing singer already, and I am not saying that bc I am bias, she really can carry a tune & her memorization of song is off the charts.  All in all, Daddy's Girl, but the spitting image of her Mother.  I asked Jared the other night if he could handle 2 Beth's in the house? 

Grayson, Grayson, Grayson.... Where do I start?  He is a superhero around the clock, Spiderman, Superman, Batman, it doesn't matter, he is all in all the time, running, jumping, kicking/punching the air.  He wants what he wants when he wants then goes to time out.  The joys of a Superhero for a son?  He is the most handsome lil boy ever, and his smile will light up a room, but he is NAUGHTY!  His new scheme is coming into our room twice a night for the past two weeks.  Hey Grayson, we didn't sleep for the first 14 months of ur life, can u give it a rest? He is super attentive to our every move, wants to help with everything and loves to sit and color.  Such a sweet Superhero.

Couples weekend in Bellaire 05/14/2011 Hawks Eye Golf Course

This was the sky when we arrived.  Rain + cold + wind = bad golf 

 This was our sunrise the next morning. Gorgeous and a bit deceiving. Day 2 was 25 mph winds & never got over 45 degrees.

 View from our huge deck which if there had been less wind, I think we could of spent quite a bit of time out there.

 James, Jared, & Justin

 Lulu's Bistro 4 dinner = fabulous.  We celebrated James & Jenny's Anniversary this weekend.  Here's to many, many more years...

Spring has sprung...........

 Mother's Day breakfast with the Berta-Williams Family

 Look @ those faces? Can u say crabby pants?

Just bc he makes me laugh. He throws with so much intensity! 

 And she throws like a girl! Sorry Mom, you used to play softball, show them how to do it!
