10 SECOND UPDATE

YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO READ THIS POST IN 10 SECONDS OR YOU GET YOUR MONEY BACK!!!

Here is the highlights of the past month...

Dexter sun bathed...

...and rode a Hippo...

Darla got her hair did...

...and was chillin' like a vilian...
Bath time is fun...

Wet puppy!
We attended my friend Kristina and Clark's wedding in Maui...
The babies turned 3 months old!!
Dexter rode a camel...
We went to California and visited The Beutlers, The Baltzers, The Montgomery's, ... I think those pics are on the laptop?

Then the babies met aunt Josie and cousin Ashley,

BFF's!!Grandma Thompson loves the babies,

We stayed at Justin and Natalie Dickson's house and Devin and Shira came over as well. The babies got to meet Kyla and Colton...
Dexter was so excited to get a kiss from the beautiful Callie!
We went to 2 weddings on the same night. Agata and Bill's ceremony was on the beach in San Pedro (no photo yet) and then Kristina and Clark had their reception at Dukes in Malibu...
The babies met auntie Brianna at her birthday BBQ (she looks like my sister but she is really another good friend that I have known from High school). My friends Natalie and Marc were there as well (I suck at taking pictures)

Dexter hung out with his best friend cousin Julian...

Julian didn't even notice Dexter was in the room...

We went to DISNEYLAND with aunt Joanna, Dexter, Sydney, Darla ...
...aunt Mayra and Julian.Sydney loved helping her cousin's!

No doubt about it...
They have THOMPSON gene's!!
We all fit in one Tea Cup!!

Julian thought that pulling the sword from the stone was over rated and decided to eat it...

We all rode the Merry Go Round...
What a trip! We also saw grandpa Thompson, auntie Monica, all of Chris's family but I think those pictures are on a different hard drive?

We were so pooped after all the travels, we might wait a WHOLE month before we take another trip. Why even unpack?

Maternity Pics by Mark Lee of Holladay Photo

I seriously loved being pregnant! Maybe not the first couple of months when I could not eat food (my first love in life), but later when I had the coolest oven in front of me that cooked Darla and Dexter to perfection.

Mark Lee took these pics and they make me so happy (I borrowed then from Holladayphoto.com in the blog section). I have never liked a picture of myself. Maybe it is because I was made fun of all my whole life for having buck teeth (seriously...kids are cruel) or maybe because my eyes shut half way in every picture I ever take. Kids in Jr. high would ask me if I was high in my pictures and I seriously didnt know what that meant.

I dont know if Mark knew that I was going to dress like a wierdo to take these pictures but I dont know how else to dress? This day was so fun. Thanks for taking the coolest pictures ever Mark!!








NO...that was not a beluga whale in the water silly...that was me!

4th of July Beach Day With the Nuggets

Before we get into the beach day...

Chris (yes I am posting this cuz you all know Jackie never gets to it) was watching the nuggets while Mom went to work and after bath time he tried to find good outfits to look all pretty and cute for when Mom gets home...

...Dex doesn't like wearing his sisters clothes!
It was an honest mistake, the green stripes looked unisex, but the gathered neck and sleeves screamed, "I'm a sissy!"

Now, Beach Day with Mom and Dad,
The yellow cart works great for transporting the nuggets across the sand, a bit more development and I think we'll have a nice covered wagon for the nuggets to protect them from the sun.

Dad stayed on the beach at Castles and showed the nuggets that Mom's still got it.

When Mom came back, we took the nuggets in the ocean for the first time. Surprisingly they actually seemed to like it. Not really even any fussing, not even when they got dunked in a wave. I think they liked being all toasty warm afterward though.

They were so tired after this little day at the beach they seemed like they were going to sleep through the night. After Mom left for work, Dad, fearing their childish stench, woke them up for a quick bath and light meal before hitting a picnic with the friends and heading over to watch the Turtle Bay fireworks.
Darla liked the fireworks and watched the entire time, Dex just slept.But he was dressed pretty festive too.

When I grow up I wanna be...

Well, who knew... Looks like Dex wants to be a Male Model.
Here is Dex working on his signature poses...

"innocence"

the "OH, yeah baby"
"Blue Steel"
and his now world famous...


"MAGNUM"

Darla's still thinking about it.
Right now, she's just happy being blond.

Catchign Up On The Twins

First they were born.
Darla came about 1 min before Dex.

Then, as little as they were, they came home...

They love eachother...

They sunbathed a little...

They met Auntie's Kimmie and Monica...

Took their first walk on the Sunset boardwalk...

Met Grandma Thompson...

They ate and ate and ate, grew a little, and Daddy learned to feed both at one time...

When Dex was big enough he wanted to surf...

All his girlfriends were there (Brighton, Eliza, and Indie) with their Dads...

Darla even learned to walk (with some help)... Dex was too tired from surfing all day...

Even Grandma and Grandpa Kontoes came to see how big they were getting...

Their first day at church they had their baby blessing and everyone was there too...

Dr. Pratt (delivered them) wanted to see them too...

They played with their first toys...They are so big now, they just want to sleep in Mommy and Daddy's bed...Oh, what will they do next...

... to be continued...
