Ummmm Blueberries....

Here is the first thing I made with our freshly picked blueberries...yummy blueberry pancakes. In fact they were so good we had them for breakfast and dinner on Sunday.



This is one of the two bags full of delicious blueberries we came home with!

Blueberry Picking

This morning Joe and I took the girls blueberry picking. This is one of my favorite times of year in Florida! We went to the Williams Blueberry Farm (2595 Statton Road, Jacksonville, FL, Phone: 904-781-4676). They had a huge amount of bushes and tons of blueberries to pick. We picked for a little over an hour. We went home with 10 lbs. of blueberries. At $2.50 a pound who could go wrong. I have visions of blueberry muffins, blueberry buckle, blueberry pancakes, etc in my head.

Cheerio Love!

The girls have been eating Cheerios for a few days now and they love them. It feels like kind of a milestone because every baby eats Cheerios. They are also beginning to perfect their feeding skills. The Cheerios really help because they are not slippery like the bananas or avocado. I still make some the girls baby food but what I don't make (like the meat entrees) they are now eating mostly all stage 3.





These pictures were too cute not to include as well. The first is of Chloe's 'raspberry face'. She spent the second half of breakfast blowing raspberries and covering her onesie in spit. The second picture is Abby and her crazy hair. Her expression is priceless too!

Top 10 Discounts & Freebies for Twins/Multiples

I came across this link about two months ago. I was searching for discounts or multiple birth programs as suggested in the April issue of Parents Magazine. I signed up for several programs and was surprised by the coupons I received back. Pampers sent great coupons including one for a free pack of diapers (about a $10 value)and a bonus on the Pampers coupons is you can use them on Luvs diapers because they are both made by Proctor and Gamble too, Gerber sent a gift pack and baby food coupons, Beechnut sent a nice stack of baby food coupons and Huggies sent coupons that are good on any Huggies product (which is great because I do not use Huggies diapers but I like their wipes and other bath products). IF you know someone with multiples or expecting multiples please send them this link. It's worth the small about of time and effort!

Exploration

The girls are beginning to explore there surroundings! Here are two pictures from Monday afternoon. They have really started to play together and it is so cute.

Happy Birthday Blog!

I have officially been blogging for a year! I never thought I would enjoy it so much. I originally started my blog to give everyone updates on my pregnancy in an effort to reduce my phone calls. Some days I felt like I spent the whole day on the phone. I think my blog has turned out better than I ever could have expected. I love posting pictures and videos for all my family and friends to enjoy. I can't wait to see what this year will bring! Happy Blogging!

In Bloom!

Just wanted to share a couple pictures from what is blooming in my garden. The first picture is my first sunflower. It is not at all what I expected when I planted those seeds a few weeks back. I had anticipated giant big sunflowers as the packaged boasted. Of well these are pretty too!


The next two pictures are from my hydrangea bush. It is always fun to guess what color the flowers will be this year. My blooms are pink and I have about six right now. This is by far my favorite plant in my garden!
