Addi and Emma's 1st Birthday

So, I thought I should do a post about their birthday in case I do turn this into a photo book :)

had the party in the mac room at the church. It was the perfect spot! We had lots of help the day before decorating.

My fam, minus Mere was able to come to the party. Wills sisters couldn't make it cause they had school and track.. they were missed! Mama Jan and Chachi were able to come though! It was a great time with all our friends.

As I mentioned earlier, Amanda made the tutus, and Court made the shirts. Amanda made the smash cakes. I could not have done it without her help!

The girls were really cute. They were precious in their outfits, and did great in all the pictures. I just can't believe they are one! Sweetest girls!

We also dedicated the girls that Sunday the 15th. It was our public statement that we commitment to raising the girls for the Lord. It is humbling knowing that they are His, and the responsibility we have to be the best parents we can be for His glory. Will spoke, and did a great job. It was a wonderful way to end their birthday weekend.

We are so incredibly thankful for the Lord's graciousness towards our family. To think these little ones entered the world 6 weeks premature and weighing only 4.5 lbs. Would not know it to see these pictures. We are blessed, and give God all the glory.

Going to do Better...

So I am only behind 7 months! Okay, I have spiffied up the blog. I am ready to really start keeping up with this thing. Especially since I saw that you can turn it into a photo book... that will probably come in handy with our busy life.


So lets see.... the girls got their helmets on in November, on my birthday actually. They wore them for about a 8 weeks. We were really happy with the results, and the girls did not miss a beat. For that we are really thankful.
The girls are doing so many cool things these days. They are 15 1/2 months old. Emma started walking at about 14 months. Miss Addi Bear hasn't taken any steps yet but is loving standing up from a sitting position and when Momma and Daddy help her take steps. I think she can do more than she does, she is just a little more cautious. Was the same way with her pulling up.

It is funny, Emma is better at phyiscal things, and Addi seems better verbally. Usually Addison starts saying a word, and then Emma picks up on it. However, Emma do one thing verbally that Addi didn't. She started making this growling noise... we were like, what can we make this? A pirate, a bear... so our child isn't just randomly growling. So for a while she was doing "how does the lion go?" It was too cute.

We got a mini van :) Yes I am officially a Mini Van Mom! Ha. It has been so awesome to have! Makes going any where with the girls soo much easier.


Heres some fun things they are liking right now.

1.Love doing motions to itsy bitsy spider,

2. Showing how big they are,
3. 5 little monkies puppet toy

4. Round and round (I saw round and round and they scoot in circle on the floor)

5. Love dressing up in hats, sun glasses and shoes. Will bring them to me to put on them!

6. Love rolling ball back and forth

7. I'm going to get you (love being chased)

8. peek a boo

9. patty cake

10. Lovin Vanilla wafers!

11. Really like Sesame street. It is so funny, there is an ad for Beaches resorts at the beginning of every SS and they always look and me and smile really big when it comes on!

12. Love music of any kind... Emma was even clapping to rap the other day! HA

14. Love Books

15. Love Dogs, especially Nellie and feeding her gold fish!

16. Love going Bye Bye

17. Pretending to talk on their cell phone - this is a new one, Addison has been doing this three days in a row, even pretend laughing, so funny!

18. Finding features on Momma and Daddy's faces, and their own

19. Finding belly buttons!

Their first word was ball when they were 12 months old. They think everything is ball, they see a lemon "ball", an easter egg "ball"!


Words: Ball, light, bye bye, mama, dada, eye, bite, bath, juice, that(milk), baby

They are changing more and more each day! They are getting close to dropping their AM nap... not sure how I feel about that just yet :)

So, I think that catches everyone up. Hope you enjoy the videos and pictures! I am going to try and do better.

Home Home on the Range

Sooo, I have an AMAZING husband. He lets me pack up the girls and go visit my family about once a month. We go down and stay with Marmie and Papa D, and get to catch up with family and friends in good ole Pasadena. This trip I got to celebrate my grandpas 91st birthday, and go to a shower of a dear friend of mine from junior high. We went out to eat for Grandpa's birthday. The girls.... were less then cooperative. It was just an off day! They cried at Grandma, and almost everyone for that matter, and they would not take their bottles. It was a little stressful! Luckily I had lots of family there to help me. They did look cute though in their polka dots. Kate had her polka dots on too :) After the party we all went out in the front yard on a blanket and just hung out. They were happy then, of course, we were outside... surprise, surprise. I love this picture of Mere and Kate! Mere is a great Mom, Kate is such a handful! So active. This day she was going from sitting down to standing up without pushing herself up... crazy kid! She is leaps and bounds ahead of the twins in this area. She is going to be walking very soon at this rate. I am just trying to get the girls to tolerate tummy time. Don't know what Mere and I would do without Amanda when I am home. I told her after I found out it was twins that there would be three babies... one for all of us :)

The shower for my sweet friend Shelley was really fun. Mom watched the girls so I could go. She is an amazing girl, and I am thankful that we have stayed in touch over the years.

It is always really refreshing to be at home. I know I have lived in Dallas for almost 10 years, but, Pasadena is still home. Everyone lives so close there and it is great to see Meemaw and Grandma every time I go home. Thank you Will for letting your girls go, and thank you to my family for the fun time we always have!

First Family Park Trip

The girls are at such a fun age! Will says I say that every month, but really, they are! We have been taking a walk almost every evening together before bath time. They love to look at nature and take turns sitting up front. No matter how fussy they are, going on a walk always makes it better. Tonight we had a special treat! We all got to go to the park together. The weather is cooling down a little bit so the evening shade is perfect for swinging! We didn't know if they would be big enough, but with a dew blankets tucked around they fit just right in the toddler swinge. It was fun to have Will with us. The girls absolutley adore him and spending time with him. I may have a couple of Daddy's girls on my hands here. We got some big smiles swinging at the park. Think this might be a new fav of the Eubanks Tweens.

Getting so Big

I decided to have another photo shoot in the bassinete for their 7 month. They barely fit these days. These sweet little outfits were given to us my Gancie (Fran). The blanket my Mom made. I had fun taking these shoots. They are not my still little models anymore. They are eating the flowers, moving around, barely holding still for Mommy to get a shot! Recently their favs are eating apples out of their food suckers, the alpahbet ball, and exersaucers. They love playing in them while Mommy makes dinner! I am so thankful for my precious girls. Thankful to the Lord for allowing me and Will to be their parents, and for the last 7 months with them.

Fun Pics

Took these pics before bath time one night. They were just having the best time! It cracks me up how they look like they are singing in half of them, and they other half look like they are on a roller coaster! They are laughing and smiling so much these days. Can't believe my girls are 7 months old.

These glasses were given to us at Kate's party. The girls didn't seem to mind wearing them at all. We got a good laugh out of it! They are too funny.

Happy Birthday Kate Davis!

Kate Davis is one! The girls got to go to their first birthday party ever! Kate had a tulip party and Cara was sweet to let the girls borrow some of her clothes so they could dress the theme. It was a fun time to be with friends and family and celebrate sweet Kate.

We are so thankful to have our friends Will, Cara, Jack, Josie and Kate just two doors down! What a blessing. The Davis' have been a constant source of love and encouragement in our lives. I love having an experienced Mom so close when I have those crazy first time Mom questions. Kate was too cute with her ice cream! It was such a fun party. We look forward to many more parties with our sweet friends the Davis'. Happy Birthday Kate!
