Warning This Post is Extremely Random

I have no idea what is up with the spacing in this update and I know the picture lay out is weird but I just don't have time to fix it so bare with me

I know this picture is dark and a little blurry but I had to snap quick. the twins were quiet again last night while I was making dinner and when I looked up the had both climbed up on the fireplace (our fireplace are tall over 2 feet off the ground so quite a fall for toddlers) they then proceeded to run back and forth almost knocking eachother off and then bang on the doors and try to pull them open, thank goodness they didn't open of they would have both gone flying. They are quickly getting into everything and their playroom is no longer a safe spot. But they are soo fun.
we finally let them out of the stroller at the festival of trees and they were quite content to sit in the fake snow playing with the bears and ornaments


Sienna loved these bears because they moved
Landon thought he should be able to take this ornament home

Sienna kissing the reindee
Me and Sienna showing off her cool tree tattoo
Tanner and Landon getting a cool tattoo

Landon's favorite monkey tree at the Festival of Trees

Sienna's favorite tree the M&M tree. I think it was because we reward her for going potty with these candies. speaking of which the potty training is going awesome, she rarely has an accident at home anymore as long as someone is available to take her to the bathroom when she says potty, unfortunately with a baby and another toddler that is not always possible but she is getting better at holding it. We still need more practice when we go out though.
She is more like Sienna every day hating socks just like her big sis

My little Peytan is getting soooo big. She is now officially 3 months old, wearing 6 month clothes. She still has very little hair but looks great in a bow, though we rarely have time for such accessories. She is sleeping through the night, finally. She has gret big blue eyes and adorable little chubby rolls. I think she looks a lot like Landon at this age but with Sienna's mouth shape. She is very particular about what she wants and can really scream LOUD but overall she is a very sweet baby. She weighed 12lbs 8 oz at her check up and was in the 97th percentile for height. She has a sweet smile and laugh but we are still working on getting a giggle out of her. She is still working on rolling over even though she sits really well with just a little assistance and tanner even had her standing leaning up against him today it was so cute to see them on the floor playing today. The twins still love her especially now that she interacts more with them.the twins were so excited to see the snow on Thanksgiving oh and the huge german shephard in grandma and grandpa's backyard





All dressed up and looking so handsome but will not look at the camera






Sienna loves hats and shoes so of course she wore both for thanksgiving. she also found this huge stuffed dog at grandma's that I gave Tanner years ago when he went off to college and was missing his dog at home





Tanner and Peyt Peyt, yes Sienna calls her that so now we all do. She also calls Landon Lanny so now I call him that too even though I don't like the nickname at all we will work on changing that







I will end this post with a few new words Sienna has picked up I love that she is talking so much
Yeyyow-yellow
Fish
Cookie
Cock-cookie, cracker, tractor or any thing else she wants it to mean it is her go to word

Book

Up
Hand-she screams it if you don't hold her hand walking down the hall
Pot-potty(now)
Pee
Poop
Money
Peez-please
Blooloo-blue
Tanta-Santa
Landon has decided to stick with the basics
cook-cookie
Caaaar-car

Landon's Monkey room

Landon's room is all painted and is just adorable, monkeys and bananas everywhere
Landon loves this monkey that is right at eye level

I love the monkey in the hammock and his name written in the sand



Sienna's princess room

Sienna's room is finally painted and it is soo cute. There are tiaras over the doors

A growth chart



The full wall mural of her castle, she loves the frog prince




GO Vandals!

Landon showing his Vandal spirit
We even found a sweatshirt for little Peytan to wear that was huge on her but looked cute

Sienna's cool U of I hairbow


getting a pic of them together is so hard



My little Vandals, this was taken a few days prior, I was making cookies and dinner and the twins were playing and then it got QUIET this is what I found, an entire roll of toilet paper shredded in the playroom I have no idea how they got a hold of a roll of toilet paper but they did





So the last BSU/UofI game was played the other night and of course we had to get dressed up and watch even though we knew it would probably be a blood bath and it was. Either way we had fun cheering on the Vandals and the kids had a blast eating pizza and rootbeer floats. The twins even know what to do when you say "touchdown" it is pretty cute.

Happy Halloween

Okay oops this whole post is backwards sorry :) but I'm too busy to change it
Sienna rinsing her blue hair

Landon rinsing his blue hair, no it didn't hurt his eyes

Our family Halloween picture

Peytan was the only one who got a Halloween shirt because it was Sienna's from last year





We had a great Halloween. We had family over for pizza before going to the local Halloween carnival. Landon and Sienna dressed up as Thing 1 and Thing 2 and Peytan was the Cat in the Hat. They were very cooperative about their blue hair but Peytan hated having her whiskers painted on. They had fun playing the games at the carnival and seeing the other kids dressed up. Then we came home let them play with their neon glo sticks for a while and had some yummy cinnamon rolls. They had to have a bath to get the blue out and that was fun for them cause it turned the water a deep blue.
Potty update-Sienna is doing awesome she is now telling us more and more when she has to go and having fewer accidents although she does sometimes get up too soon and miss the potty oh and once she was so excited to tell Tanner she pooped that she brought it to him but overall she is doing really well and we are so proud of her. More money for college every day now that it's not going to diapers!

Growing like weeds

We are embarking on a new adventure: POTTY TRAINING, Sienna has been showing interest for weeks now and so I decided to give it a try, she has been doing pretty well I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing but we'll see how we do. Landon shows no interest which is fine with me. It is so hard to run her to the potty when she has to go since I have Peytan and Landon to deal with but we're working on it.

My three cuties all cuddled up in their jammers, yes Sienna is kissing her and Landon is smacking her but she's tough
Sweet sisters, I'm gonna keep this picture to remind them of how much they love eachother when they're fighting in a few years or make that months

I have absolutely no talent when it comes to doing hair, mine or anyone elses but I figured since I have been blessed with two little girls I better start trying to do something cute. Here is a first attempt, not bad considering I had a wiggly toddler to cope with and fine hair.


she liked it and it kept her hair out of her face, the ziploc is an art project she was working on , mess free painting not as much fun but less work for me

The twins have been very naughty while I have been getting dinner ready at night, they both climb up on the couch, Sienna jumps like a maniac and landon pulls all the books and flash cards out of the book case.

happy birthday Tanner

Happy birthday Tanner, it is so hard to get a good picture with all 3 kids, almost as hard as it is to hold all 3 kids at the same time, poor Peytan was not happy
A quick family picture, Sienna was on the run
Peytan is smiling a lot these days and trying to laugh I finally got it on camera

Peytan sleeping, the little wiggle worm is so good at unswaddling herself, she wakes herself up at night and I have to go reswaddle her so she can go back to sleep, she is so funny


My mom bought Peytan another baby spa since the twins got broken and she loves it as much as they did. She bounces in the water and just looks so relaxed. This is definitely one of my favorite baby items
Tanner turned 27 on Tuesday and we celebrated with dinner out with his family and of course cake. The twins loved the cake although they were all tired and not very cooperative by the time we got around to some pictures.

Pumpkin Carving

The twins love lollipops

Landon playing in the goop

Sienna touching the icky insides

Our pumpkin babies




On Sunday Tanner picked up a couple of pumpkins on his way home from work (it was raining and cold so we skipped the pumpkin patch) the twins picked which one they wanted. We cleaned them out Sienna hated touching the goopy insides but Landon liked it even tasting it and not thinking it was too bad. Tanner carved each pumpkin to look sort of like each child, Peytan's complete with binky even though she really doesn't use one much. The twins had fun eating suckers and watching. I'm trying to get them to say trick-or-treat but as soon as they see the candy they screech. They really like suckers and of course Sienna has an opinion about the flavor and Landon is good with whatever.

A few more pics

The twins loved the pool
I have to explain this picture. 10 years ago when Tanner and I were dating we went to a swim party at the pool. Tanner went in wearing normal clothes but when he came out of the locker room after swimming he did not put his regular clothes back on he came out wearing his bathing suit, cowboy boots and a bath mat from his hotel room. I had to take this opportunity to take a picture of her if she wasn't sick maybe she would have held the bath mat.

Peytan is getting her siblings big BLUE eyes and we are thrilled


My little pumpkins



Sienna loved this little pumpkin. We rode the hay ride out to the field and walked back and she walked the whole way carrying this little pumpkin, of course Grandma had to buy it for her after all that
