Grandmommy's Visit (part two)

Continuing my posts about Mom Driggers coming to visit! AND we are hoping she can come back this month - yay! And my Mom is probably gonna come in September to help me pack and drive back to TX. So grateful for my moms!

Trying out the babies new swings! Mark had a morning/afternoon off so we just hung out as a family!

Left: Aksil is trying to get a toy waaaaaay down at the bottom of the toy box! Right: We let the kids try out their swimming pool for the first time! Here is Aksil with water dripping off his nose after he stuck his forehead in the water! (see photo below)

Aksil dipping his forehead into the water - so funny!

We put just enough water in so they could splash around.

Avery just crawls around, sucks her thumb, and tries to climb out, but Aksil just like to splash....and splash....and splash! 

All wet from brother splashing her!

"I think if I just do this I can escape...."

"Look at me!"

Almost...and no, we didn't help her at all. I love her little cellulite baby butt :)

Success!!

Aksil decided to just take it easy....ahhh, the life of a baby....

Left: Just hanging out in the pool. Right: Avery tasting a handful of dirt.

Time to dry off!

I absolutely love this picture! Wrinkly little baby feet!

Happy summer days! Thanks to Grandmommy, and all of her wonderful help, we now have a fun back yard for the twins! 

Mom brought a few gifts from family back home, so we did a little birthday celebration for Mark a few days early! Aksil really wants some of Daddy's chicken and rice.

Mom made some amazingly yummy and moist tres leches cake - one of Mark's absolute favorite desserts! She even made an "M" on top out of blueberries for Mark!

Aksil thought the tissue paper was awesome. Mark got a nice shirt from David and Leah, a Dallas Mavs Champion shirt and protein shaker bottle from Mom and Dad Steele, a CrossFit jump rope from Faith, and.....

....an awesome USAF blanket that his mom made! I love Aksil's face - he is way impressed.

That night Mark had a hospital shift, so Mom took the babies on a walk so I could get some organizing in the garage done. But it started to rain, yes rain! So they came back early. It was pouring!!

The babies liked watching from the garage. 

Stay tuned for part three!
