Now That's A New One!

I was in Target with the boys yesterday. A little girl that was maybe 3-4 years old was holding her Mom's hand and as they walked towards me the little girl said, "Look Mommy, several babies!" Her Mom and I looked at each other and laughed. I've never had my twins referenced as "several babies" before. It was cute and funny and put a smile on my face...then I realized that the boys will say funny little things like that soon.
I CAN'T WAIT!! :)

Dual Purpose Present

Our daycare lady has a little foam couch that the boys LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! I've never been too fond of them but since the boys love it soooo much I decided to get them a couch for home. Walmart only had Spider Man or a pink Dora the Explorer so Spidey it was.

"Mom! We love this couch so much that we can't control the drool!"

Zack taking a load off before dinner.

....and taking another load off after his bath. "Mom, this couch is the perfect place for me to brush my teeth!"



Remember Spider Jake, Spider Jake?

Well, now we have Spider Mayzie, Spider Mayzie. Hee Hee!

Ok! Scooch! It's my turn!! :)

I must have known....

I was going through my desk at work the other day and found this Page-A-Day calendar page from Bad Cats that I kept....
I found out I was pregnant on June 6th, 2006. On June 15th, 2006 I came across this page and thought it was hilarious so I decided to keep it. At the time I didn't know I was having twins. 5 days later on June 20th I found out I was having twins. Weird huh? :)

On this day last year....

.....I was finally released from the hospital after 10 days! PHEW!!

I dressed my 9 day old twins in their going home outfits...said goodbye to my nurses...and got to come home! HOME!! YiPpEe!!!

It was the boys first car ride and I remember crying as we were leaving the parking lot of the hospital because I couldn't believe I was finally getting to bring my babies home....let alone couldn't believe that these people were allowing me to take them. I think I was happy and freaking out a little at the same time. I hadn't had a minute alone with them since their birth and it was hard to fathom that Brian and I were flying solo as their parents from that day forward. EEK!

We got home and introduced them to their fur-sisters, Mayzie and Gerdie. I can't believe how small they were! What a difference a year makes!!

Baby Nugent's first picture!

My big sister Brenda that lives in Washington is pregnant for the first time!!! YiPpEe!! She and her husband have tried for many years to have kids and it finally happened for them!! She found out she was pregnant on Christmas Eve and since she has decided to talk about it and share the news on her blog, I figured it was OK for me to share my excitement as well! She has an adopted son that they have had since his birth who will be 3 in March. I'm so happy for their family and for my sister to be able to experience being pregnant even though she's already a mom.
Check out her blog! Keeping afloat...most days

Baby Nugent is a cutie patootie!! 8 weeks 6 days

The amazing crafty Grammy!

Grammy made Pirate quilts and crib sheets for the boys for their birthday! Thanks Grammy...we LOVE them!! Classic Pooh is almost filtered out. Big-Boys room here we come!
Zack's quilt with the embroidery on the bottom....because Zack was on the bottom.
Back of quilts...both quilts are the same.
And Jake's quilt with the embroidery on the top...because Jake was on top! :)
The crib sheets are made out of the map fabric that is in the center of the quilts and on the back of the quilts. LOVE THEM!! THANKS MOM!!

Uh-Ohhhh....

Zack's first word.... :)

Thanks Peggy, Brandon and Faith!

My Bestest Blog Best Friend Forever (BBBFF) Peggy and her B/G twins Brandon and Faith sent the boys super cute shirts for their 1st birthdays. I couldn't get great pictures because trying to get 1 year old twins to cooperate for pictures is like trying to hold onto a slippery fish....but check them out!

Double the Trouble! Double the Fun! Look Who's Turning One! Zack and Jake that's who!

Zack with his mouth wide open....wonder who he gets that from?

Oh...I guess he gets it from me.....*blushing*

Jake is checking Zack's tire pressure.

Thanks for the shirts Webb Family! Super, super sweet!!

Pppaaaarrrrrttttaaaayyyy!!

Ok...the party was.....crowded. I'm grateful that so many friends and family showed up to celebrate but my poor little house was overflowing! Maybe next year we'll go somewhere...?? Anyway, the boys seemed a little overwhelmed with all the eyes on them and the wall to wall people so no smiles in any of the pictures. :( They seemed to enjoy their cake but it sure took long enough for them to really get into it. I couldn't decide which pictures to post so I pretty much posted them all. Thanks for looking and thanks to all the friends and family that joined us!

Aunt Tiff and Jake.
Zack, its not polite to stare.
Jesse in his Pirate shirt! Aaaarrrr!!! (1 on 2/1/08)
Bibs courtesy of Grammy. She also made them some very cool Pirate crib sheets and Pirate quilts. I'll take pictures to post soon!

Zack says, "Jake, you're an animal."
Slow and steady wins the race.
*looks at watch* Making a dent.



Cake up the nose....
Jake's had his fill of cake...and it only took 45 minutes.

Looking good Zack!!
