This is how we have SURVIVED the last few weeks...

As you can see the girls know where the goods are! Since they have both been sick over the last little while they love their Tylenol! Logan was pretty concerned this morning when she saw them both "drinking" their medicine because she said they were going to drink it all gone and that was too much. (BY THE WAY CAN YOU TELL WHO IS WHO???)
They were pretty funny though because they both sat and sucked on these while I got ready, yes, they were just in their diapers also...they love to be naked (diapers only). You do what you have to do to keep them both occupied so I can get Logan and I decent for the day,even if it means sucking on the Tylenol bottles.
We ended up taking the girls in to the doctor because it just didn't seem like they, or the rest of us, were getting better. The doctor said that they do have bronchiolitis, kinda like bronchitis, and he gave them a steroid, an antibiotic (just in case because their ears are too little to be able to see if they also have ear infections), and then albuterol through the nebulizer.
They are supposed to suck on the end of it to get it all out, but they usually get sick of it and we just have to hold it by their mouth as long as they will allow and call it good. Anyway, hopefully this will help us to all get better, at least the two little gals.
Here is the reason we are "all" sick. It is the holidays and so everyone is together as much as possible, and we just keep passing all the sickness around. Cousins Wyatt and Kinlee also have bronchiolitis and Kinlee and Elliott have ear infections. This picture is at my Mom and Dad's house playing a fun game that Lace and Lance brought. I wasn't playing because I was having to man the kids, but they were having so much fun they were all laughing the whole time. As you can see Lacey has Gen's sock on her hand because she had to name it and wear it for the rest of the game. At one point we were all, even us spectators, laughing so hard because Kurt pulled out Cassidy's chair from behind her when she wasn't looking and she went crashing to the ground...oh the family love!
Logan is loving having her cousins here, especially Elliott who she misses so much. She got to come over and play the whole day on Monday and they has so much fun!
OK, I know this is really random but I wanted to throw these pictures in because I thought it was pretty crazy and I know some people that have taken similar pictures. This is a picture of all the twins' clothes (minus a few loads in the laundry). I was really worried about them not having anything because they haven't caught up in size very well, they are on the opposite season clothes as Logan was. As you can see,they are not lacking one bit. The reason it is all over the place is because every time I would do the laundry and we would have all their clothes clean, I couldn't fit it in the drawers. I actually broke one of the drawer bottoms shoving in more and more clothes...whoops! I was reorganizing and adding in some of the stuff that Karsyn was slowly starting to fit into. That is part of the problem Karsyn is in one size and Kennedy is in another.
Not only do we have the huge dresser full of clothes but we also have some stuff hung up in the closet. I have admitted before to loving to buy clothes for my girls, here is my proof. Don't think that most of you reading can judge because a ton of these clothes were given to them (Mom and Laurie)!!!

Christmas= A ton of pictures, A ton of presents, and a ton of FUN!

Let me just start by saying that we had the best Christmas ever this year. Logan is at the perfect age for a fun Christmas. Brace yourselves because there are a ton of pictures...like I said. These first few of the girls in their Christmas jammies are taken last night on Christmas Eve. Logan wouldn't come down to take any because after we got home from my parent's house eating dinner and hanging out, she wanted to come right home (at 7:30pm) and go to bed so Santa could come.
I decided to take a few of the little girls anyway without Logan. As you can see Karsyn was the happy one this time and Kennedy didn't really care much at this point.
Now the tides changed as soon as I put them on their tummies. They both totally hate it but Kennedy tolerates it sometimes a little better depending on her mood. This is how they both started out...
And then this... Karsyn will roll over from her tummy but for some reason only wanted go to her left and Kennedy was in her way...(isn't that face from Kennedy priceless)
OK Karsyn now you really pissed Kennedy off, maybe because she was steam rolling her and Kennedy didn't think that was very fun. Needless to say that was the end of pictures for the both of them. Off to bed.
This is the doll house that Santa brought Logan. After checking it out, she literally ran over to the tree to start on the rest of the loot.
She got a "Baby Alive" doll from Mom and Dad. This ended up being one of her favorite toys because she would feed her, then change her diaper and then do it all over again. Good thing Grandma Lindsay bought her some more diapers because those things are like a dollar a piece and she just keeps wetting in them.
Here is a look at some of the stuff that Logan got from Mom, Dad and Santa. Now off to both grandparents houses to open more presents.
Oh before we left she had to feed her baby, and then of course change her diaper. She was wet again by the time we got over to my parents house...this should be a fun doll!
Lucky for us the twins were still sleeping when Logan was opening her presents so we could just give all our attention to Logan. After they woke up and go fed and dressed, Logan opened up the girls toys from Santa and Mom and Dad. They just got a few things but anything that moves and makes noise is just what was on their list.
After opening at our house, we headed off to Grandma and Grandpa Robison's for more presents. This Barbie head styling doll was one of Logan's favorites from them. She had to get it out right then and start styling away!
This was Kurt after opening all the presents at my parents house...I got a picture of all the boys doing this while all us girls and kids were still up and going. I told my dad I wouldn't post the good picture I got of him.
Here is Karsyn and cousin Wyatt playing with Wyatt's new ring toys he got from aunt "G"! They look more like they could be twins than Karysn and Kenned, at least size wise.
Off to Grandma and Grandpa Lindsay's now where we met up with them and cousins Jake and Karlee and Aunt Brooke and Uncle Scott.
Here we opened yet another mound of presents. Logan would just open the present enough to get all the paper off and then move onto the next one without even looking really at what she got because there was so much. After she had them all opened she again opened the twins' presents and then checked out what she got.
Before we left we took a few pictures (when I say a few, that really means about a million but here are some cute ones) The whole fam!
All the grandkids. Jake holding Karysn,Karlee, and Logan holding Kennedy!
And last, back home to start organizing all the loot, and get a little sleep. We just dumped it all in the living room for now because I am sure grandmas and grandpas will want to come check out what all they ended up! Thanks to everyone for all the gifts and food. We are so blessed to have such a great family on both sides. Tomorrow we will get to open a few more when cousins Elliott and Rya and Lance and Lacey get here...yea!

What we have been up to the last few days!

I had to add these few pictures of Karsyn and Kennedy still sick because I thought they showed a little better than the others their goober eyes! This is Karsyn this morning, yes she is awake and can't open her eyes.
This is Kennedy yesterday after one of her naps. You can't see it as bad even as it was but you can see she was looking though strings of green!
This is a picture of what me and my sister and mom do while the kids play in the snow...we watch from inside where it is nice and warm! I am so glad that I have them to play with, and to help each other with all the kids. I love you guys, we miss you Lace! (and you too Cass and Gen)
Here we are getting the girls ready to go play outside in the freshly fallen snow! Logan is just one big ball of pink...that is the way she wants it.
Kinlee and Logan laying in the snow...most of the time this is what Kinlee did because she would fall down after about 2 steps in the deep snow.

They still like to swing on the snow covered swingset
This is at Clay and Hailey's new house in the backyard. They have this tiny little slope that we are going to have to bring sleds one day for the girls to sled down. Not that they can't entertain themselves just walking around making tracks!
Getting ready to head out to great Grandma "swim swims"house (that is my Grandma Robison incase you haven't heard what the kids call her) for the family Christmas party.We tried to get a picture of all three girls in the pretty Christmas dresses that Grandma Lindee bought them but of course there is always one that doesn't want to cooperate...this time Kennedy wasn't having it.

***************Just a reminder that I will be going PRIVATE soon so if you haven't already given me your email address please leave it so I can send you an invite! THANKS!!!***********

Bring on the winter sickness

OK, I know it looks like both girls have been hit by a truck, but they are just really sick. This is the first of their colds that has really hit them hard. As you can see they both have swollen, red and really green goopy eyes and they are both pretty grouchy.
Half the time they look a lot like Karsyn in this picture, a little drunk.
Just a couple close-ups of their poor eyes and how sore they look.

I should take a picture of Logan and then also me and Kurt because Logan is sick too with the same red and goopy eyes and though Kurt and I are not sick yet, we are both feeling really tired from 3 sick girls that don't really feel up to doing anything...even sleeping. The last few mornings when I hear the girls waking up, I will go look at them and I can't tell whether they are awake or not because their eyes are both glued shut. It is actually kinda funny because they are trying to open them and looking around like...what the heck! It is really sad though and they hate getting their eyes cleaned and then their noses suctioned but in order for them to be able to see and breathe it is necessary! Needless to say we can't wait until they are all better and we can get back to normal again...whatever that is!
These next pictures are before the girls got sick...see how much better they look!

Karsyn, Logan and Kennedy...the girls just hanging out!
I just had to throw this picture in because it was pretty funny. They like to sit or lay in front of this toy that makes loud noises and lots of movement. I guess Kennedy got a little tired holding up her head and 7 ounce helmet up that she decided to take a little rest right on her sister's shoulder!

Gingerbread Houses

This year the girls are getting old enough, by girls I mean Logan and Makinlee, not my girls, to make gingerbread houses. We just bought the kit this year and it turned out pretty good considering they both just wanted to eat all the candy before the house was put together.

All the pictures with Kinlee are kinda fuzzy because she just couldn't stop all that moving. Maybe because Logan finally understood not to eat the candy, but Kinlee just didn't quite get that. She must have been full of sugar and excitement and couldn't stop wiggling!
Cousin Wyatt got in the fun too!
Here are the girls with Grandma Lindee and Hailey helping to put the candy on!

Logan doesn't have a mustach, it is because she has been sick and won't stop licking her lip...looks good right!
