a few pics

The girls have been doing all kinds of new things these days. They talk and repeat most of what you say ( in their own words of course) Ramsey says things like an old southern lady "diapaaah" and "sistaa". Evie says everything so sweet but very loud, she will just talk talk talk. Kind of like that little girl in the you tube video "women are born this way" or something like that. You will have to look it up if you haven't seen it, its so funny!

They just turned 16 mths and at the doc last week they were a whopping 23 pds even. Evie will walk holding your hand and take a few steps on her own but still not into it yet! Here are a few favorites right now

They love to play keep away, i don't know where they learned it but it is so funny. They just giggle at each other the whole time!

They are very cuddly and when they seem something like a pillow they lay their little heads down.

cool girl!

They love wearing their sunglasses.

Welcome to the world

Owen Nicholas Stiles was born on Thursday night! He is doing great and slept the whole time i was with him today, so sweet :)

look at all that hair :)

Ella is such a sweet big sister!

The girls went to meet another potential candidate :)

Then this happens..... My camera has a crack on the inside but i can still look through the hole(i realized how far we have come because it annoys me to look through the hole! ha it drives me crazy not being able to see the picture after i take it..ridiculous huh? anyway i have been plugging my camera in to my computer to see the pics and when i plugged these in, they all look like this!
so now it is officially broken and i am sad :( I have been wanting a new camera so jonathan is convinced i broke it on purpose! I am going to have to wait until my birthday because jonathan says for me to get a "big ticket item" there has to be a special occasion...how rude! I myself am a special occasion...right?! I am accepting old camera donations so we don't miss out on our girls growing right before our eyes or missing a special moment....yea it didn't work for jonathan either. sigh

a family affair

I can not believe the summer is almost over it has flown by! This past weekend the majority of my moms family came in town for my cousins softball tournament. They were GA state champs and came down here for the world series. Mary Kate did awesome and her team went all the way to the championship game! We did alot of eating, playing golf and swimming. Here are some pics for the fam we missed :)

Swimming at the GAC

allie and Evie

we couldnt figure out what Ramsey was doing! ha

Peak a boo with pepe and Aniston
dinner at Mellow Mushroom

Harrisons silly face

we enjoyed seeing everyone and i think Saturday night was the first night in a long time that all of my moms brothers and sister were together! We hope to see all of you again soon!

Ladies Night

I know i have bragged on Michael before but here is another cute video he put together of the girls at their very own "disco" when he kept them the other night! ha

baby gate

Somebody outsmarted the baby gate!

Lets hope the girls dont figure this out!

yum

We decided to see what Evie would do if we gave her a whole rib. She loved it and kept saying "num" we think she is trying to say yum. My favorite part is when she cant get a piece off and tries to stick the whole thing in her mouth!

Daddy Jacks Favorite things

The girls spend lots of time with my parents and i have noticed that their grandfather has been quite influential!

Ribs!

He loves teaching them to play golf

If you have been to my parents house and come through the back door then you know where these hats came from! The collection of hundreds of golf hats!

The favorite...ice cream! The only thing missing is a glass of chocolate milk!

criminal?

Jonathan and i have been watching America the Story of Us, we are a little obsessed. I decided if i watched this when i was in school i would have gotten much better grades in history! Anyway, on Monday it was talking about Al Capone and the history of mug shots. The camera pans through some old mug shots of the top 50 most wanted criminals during that time and it shows this one. I was like oh my gosh rewind that, that guy looked just like you! Jonathan zoomed in a took this with his iphone.

Crazy huh?!

We cant get over how much it looks like him!! Histarical!

Happy Fourth of July!

I have noticed quite a trend in my pictures these days. The girls are either swinging or in bathing suits! I guess it is easy to tell what these girls like to do! There were too many cute pics so lucky you get to see them all :) We went to Perkins for breakfast then on our way home our friends were outside so we stopped and played for a little while. Thanks William for letting us swing with you!

The many faces of Evie :)

finding something new

happy girl

shy girl

chilled girl

Notice who i put the crab outfit on :)

just kidding, she isn't always crabby!

Especially if she is outside!

much better!

We attempted the water park again today, this time with several more hands! Jonathan met us there and so did Aunt Amber. Ramsey walks all over the place and doesn't really get wet. Evie loves to stand in between the metal of the rainbow sprinkler. I think she thinks she is safe from all the big kids there! I don't know how many times i saw two kids completely smack into each other!

Evie looks too cute in her itty bitty bikini!

(Notice my mini me in the upper left corner)

The nice thing about the water park is that it tires the babies out :)

Hope everyone has a great Fourth of July Weekend!

do you know how to read?

Michael sent this video to us when he kept the girls one time and i forgot all about it.

Evie loves to read and is always flipping through books and pointing to pictures and talking to us, even though we don't have a clue what she is saying, she knows what she is talking about :)

I also love how she flips each page, turns the book over and starts again!

I swear at the end it sounds like she says ( in an extremely southern accent)
"I read the whole book"
now you will have to watch it again and see what you think!
