Parents Night Out

We were invited to the Mike Bellotti Dinner Auction Fundraiser again this year and we had a wonderful time. We won a pair of tickets to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Ohio that we plan to give to Matt's parents for their trip out here. It's a fundraiser and auction to earn money for children with Muscular Dystrophy. It's a wonderful cause.

Meeting the Baby Goat and Chicks

Roman visiting the baby chicks in their cage...

The babies were very excited to see the animals....

The baby goat was adorable.... Our Nanny invited us to visit the animals at her son's house.

This little goat can drink a full baby bottle in record time...

Violet liked to give the baby goat a bottle but she didn't like it that he was drinking the milk so aggressively...

The baby goat is only about one month old...

Cute......

They were a little bit unsure of what to do around the animals at first....

Our Nanny invited us to her relative's house so that the babies could meet all of their animals. They have a Golden Retriever, several baby chicks, a baby goat that they took in because it's mama died shortly after it's birth, chickens, and a kitty. The babies had a great time.

Playtime at the Mall

They both enjoy the wall toys...

Roman is making a funny face...

Hi Rome.....

The bridge to crawl under is really cute...

Don't worry, this is a nice bear....

I missed out on the picture of him sitting on the frog...

Violet's favorite is this little canoe to climb in and out....

I took the twins to the mall and while we were there we played in the kids play area. There are a couple of little slides to slide on and some other things that are appropriate for their age group. We will definitely go again sometime soon because they had a blast!

Violet loves her baby doll

Our wonderful Nanny (Diann) brought this little baby doll over for Violet. Violet loves to snuggle it, kiss it, feed it a bottle, carry it around the house everywhere, hold it on her shoulder and pat it's back (it's my favorite thing she does), and we dressed it in some of Violet's actual baby clothes!

Our First Oregon Ducks Baseball Game!

We got to go to a Ducks Baseball game for the first time. It was raining, of course!

We had fun anyway!

Opa came with us too!

Oregon played UCLA and we left at the top of the 5th inning when the score was 5-1. UCLA was winning. I am still glad that we got to go! I can't hide the babies from the rain forever here in Eugene!

These were too cute to not put on here...

Roman loves to walk on his knees...

Happy 17-Month Birthday to the twins! 4/26/09

I got the babies these alphabet letter magnets and they love them! Roman is showing Violet that he is taller in this picture...

Yes, they end up all over the floor also...

Her hair is starting to get so long and pretty....

I took the pictures that day after their 17-month birthday but I think they are close enough to help show their age.

Wonderful Ones-Birth to Three Goodbye

We had a wonderful time at the Wonderful Ones at Birth to Three. Violet and Roman are looking forward to our monthly get togethers to visit and see how everyone else is doing.
