And there were 9!

Sunday Crew, except for our College aged girl! =)




This past weekend we got to do something so out of the ordinary,  life changing, and we had a absolute blast!  Yep, you guessed it by the pic, we got to play "Aunt and Uncle" all weekend, so counting our 4 that made us have 9 children!  Wow! 






Bryan was DELIGHTED to have TONS of brothers for the weekend!  They enjoyed playing cars, tractors, trains and games... just to name a few activities....

  

Darla with her close friend and the same interests! They played dress-up, games, read books, played music... everything a girl could dream of  and "the exception to the rule" of getting to have friends sleep over too!  Could life get any better??!!!


                     I couldn't have made it without my "twin helpers" with these adorable lil guys!
 They kept us laughing all weekend... sometimes behind our hands so they couldn't see us laughing at their antics!  Here they BOTH had to have a stool... the melodies that they came up with... you should have heard!
 They are old enough now to know that people can't keep them straight... so I had determined to keep Dark socks on the same twin, so I'd KNOW who was who... but when I asked that lil stinker, he pointed to the other brother... and so the wrong one got the dark socks on!!!!!

Mr Handsome, himself!

Oh did we EVER do LOTS of this!!!!

Told ya!!!!

Riding "Horses"!


 Round and round the circle they would go laughing and chasing each other.  Great guys always entertaining themselves (and us!)

 Then Daryl got home and wasn't too great at multi-tasking!!! Talking on the phone, trying to eat his OWN yogurt... nope just ain't happenin!  Alone anyway!!!!

Want some help?

And then there were 3!!!! Hee... he gave in and fed them AND himself the yogurt... but it sure didn't last long!  Ha!AND talk to his sister on the phone, so maybe he's better at multi-tasking after all!!!!

 Then there was  BIG BOY to wrestle with....


 And a REAL TUCKERED OUT HORSEY!!!!   This was SO fun to watch!


 And some one was getting sleepy....
 Lil Squeaky-Clean guys playin tackle!

 Brittany watchin them play on Bryan's train table and did they ever have fun....


And this is what happens when you are upstairs and they are DOWNSTAIRS!!!!=)

 Went down to the park under the bridge for some fun, Freeze tag, soccer etc but I didn't do too great with catching this part on film... oh well!

 This Bosch chain saw of Bryan's made them laugh and laugh...
 My helpers... helpin me snap beans that were given us from dear friends... These helpers did pretty good.

  THESE helpers however.... got just as many ends in the bowl as they did WHOLE beans and... if they couldn't get them to break, they bit them in half!  Too Funny!


 "Like a microwave on our own level... too cool! We can SEE when it's done!" (They were so good though, if we said don't touch, they would run away GREAT lil guys!

 And we SURVIVED church too... this pic is proof.  Natasha was gone out with the choir for their 1st PR trip this fall, so that's why there's only 8 kiddos in this pic!  thanks Rob and Dee for letting us keep your crew while ya'll had a much needed honeymoon! We had a blast... diaper study and all!

Thank you, Laura, for this fun post! Loved it! Loved the pic of y'all on Sunday, looks like all was that CALM the whole weekend. =) Those twins are HILARIOUS! We laughed just looking at their pictures, because you could see hornriness on their faces. =) LOVED IT that the one twin tricked you into thinking that he was the other boy. We howled.
Loved all the pics. Thanks for letting Rob and Dee have some "them time" =)
Now I'm off to decorate 70 of my cupcakes for a baby shower.
Love ya,
~Heather~

What a fun time it looks like you had together! Way to go taking care of everybody at one time. You guys make a good-looking big family. :) Whenever I look at the twins I have to chuckle and smile at the ornery twinkle in their eyes. Thank you for posting these special pictures for us to enjoy a bit of your time with you. Miss you all lots,
Phillip
