Had the girls 6 month appointment today! And the winner is...Miss Nita! Weighing 13lbs 10oz and coming in at a height of 25.75 inches! Jess isn't far behind, 13lbs 3oz and 25.5 inches. You wouldn't know it by looking at 'em! For informational purposes Jake was 16lbs 1oz and 28.25 inches. The girls are 50th percentile for height and 10th for weight.
Jake has a cold, Greg has a cold, I have a touch of a cold...I'm going to fight it tooth and nail tho! The girls too.
Speaking of fighting, I'm going to take some drugs! Just wanted to share the info with everyone!

Freebies for Twins / Multiples
Family & Friends: this is just a list that I hope the general public is directed to while searching for help! Please leave me a comment if you are and let me know! Thanks!
Here is a list of current stuff I found while writing companies about having twins. When contacting via mail, I sent a hand written letter asking about multiple birth programs along with copies of their birth certificates. (They want proof.) There are also some companies that just have coupons for everybody! I found these lists online, but they were so out of date and ridiculous. So here you go, a fresh new up-to-date list!

My he's advanced
Here's a clip of Jake spouting off some words for the Roedl's. There's a picture of our family up on the fridge, which is where he is pointing when Grandpa comes up!
And here we have quesadilla central! Jake decided to eat his with a spatula. He was also making alphabet cupcakes with it earlier...he's a genius.
Saul, don't these look yummy?!?!

couple pics for July
Something weird is going on with my blogger. It went let me post more than one photo at a time, argh. So here's one of the most important ones...We won our first photo contest with this one! It was just a little local one.
Here's another good one. We made cookies one day, someone is his mother's son!
Otherwise the month of July was good. Had Greg's birthday during Lake Days, that was a good time. Had a couple family parties (on the same day) so got to see everyone and everyone got to see the kiddo's. August is going to be crazy! Well, at least one weekend. We're doing the girls baptism along with Wyatt's (Joe & Lisa's new dude) and a splash of Jake's birthday. Speaking of, if anyone needs gift ideas...musical instruments of the not totally annoying kind (mildly annoying is ok) and a 3-wheeled scooter (See link for idea.) He has ridden on two of those scooters (both pink) and was able to do it without anyone showing him how or what. He's pure genious I say! Ha!
Okay, good night!

Here are Jake and Alexa tearing it up in Iowa. This was one of their favorite games this past weekend!
Okay, I was trying to add more pics, but the thing isn't cooperating with me! I tried twice, so off to do something else!

Weekend in BD
6/18/09
Here we are first arriving at Grandpa & Grandma Roedl's. "Grandpa digs me"...luckily Jake had 2 of these!
Jake, would you just hold still "noooo".
Cindy & Hannah came over for a visit. Hannah was very jealous mom met the girls and she hadn't yet! Problem solved!
Jake and I went out in the back 40. He played in the dirt, go figure! Then we went and threw rocks and dirt in the "pond".
6/19/09
Some of these are taken with my phone, like this one!
Sock it to ya!
Jessie with Great Aunt Lorainne!
Here are 4 of the 5 of the Fourth Generation of Heine goers!
6/20/09
So let's try something fun! The Ducks from the Dells were in town for a fundraiser for the YMCA. Jake was whimpering before we even got on the dang thing. Luckily the Ducks are super noisy so no on heard him.
Once we got going and into the water he was pretty cool with it. So cool, if you see here, he was mighty comfy!
So comfy, he went to sleep.
Jess getting a bath in Grandma's sink.
We went to visit cousin Ricky! He's holding Anita, and he is one of the godparents for her!
Jake just played trains. Derailments and all!
And one cool dude on a ride in Grandpa's Mustang! He enjoyed that!
6/21/09
And sunday up at Grandpa and Grandma Sutton's for a visit.
We saw a lot of people and hopefully hit everyone we needed! But don't worry, we'll be back!
This is last night, 6/24/09 after bathtime. Cousins Joe & Lisa (Who just welcomed baby Wyatt into the world on Tuesday night! Yay!) got the girls some spunky onsies! These are taken with my phone again (oh yes, someone, ahem, Jake, broke my newer camera...I've been using my old one, but sometimes it acts up and reminds me why I needed a new one (which was Grandpa's old one). So now I need a new one again!)
Miss Jess was first for the bath. They are getting better, neither one really cry anymore.
And Miss Nita. This girl is going to have so many nicknames.
And we were kind-of pissy afterwards! Had to capture Nita doing her brother's trademark lip.
And Jess just bellars.
Awwww MOM, Stop! Okay.

Pictures Pictures Pictures vol 1
Okay, slacker here. I started writing the story, but three under 2 doesn't give you much time (or energy) to do much of anything. So I'll just dump in a bunch of pics and do what I can on the story!
Here we are before heading to the hospital. Who knew the background would end up being so appropriate! Heee!
Here's mama all gussied up for surgery! The end is really in site now!
Here's papa with his gorgeous attire on. I did bring it home just in case we need a Halloween costume.
And whoola! Miss Anita
And Miss Jessica!
Here's Grandpa Sutton showing the new sister's to the big brother! He's been so good with them!
And all warmed up and cozy now. Leftie/Anita and Rightie/Jessica. That's how they're posing.
Mama in post surgery glow. Ugh! I should've left the hair cap on!
"I'm the big brother of twin girls. Somebody save me!"
Papa and Jess
Auntie Diann with Anita
Uncle Brett with Anita
Grandpa (with Anita) and Grandma (with Jess) Sutton with the ladies.
Auntie Angie with Miss Anita.
Grandma Roedl with both the babes
Grandpa Buzzy with Anita...he's so happy!
Miss Jen with Anita the next day.
I may have a few more moments I can steal away while all the children sleep (god bless 'em) and post some more! I think I spoke too soon...time to eat I believe!
