We just finished up the month of love. It didn’t seem much different than other months to us. Maybe that’s because we have so much love around us all year long!
We’re getting the cabin crazies lately with the cold weather and SNOW that we have had the last couple of months. Thankfully, warmer days are coming soon. We’ve already enjoyed our first picnic of the season.
Mom and Dad laugh and laugh at the funny things we say. They added a place on our blog to keep track of some of our funny sayings. Be sure to check out “Twinterpretations” at the top of this page. Mom is afraid she’ll forget these “gems” (her word, not ours) so she set up a spot to save them.
We hope you smile at the latest set of pictures and videos. Thanks for loving us in February and all the time!

This week we had record-breaking snow in the Dallas area – reports of up to 12 inches! Check out all of the fun we had playing, throwing snowballs, catching snowflakes and building “tall mountain” from the Dora show. We’re off to drink more cocoa and thaw out!

We think we might have a case of what Mom and Dad call “cabin fever.” We’re not sure what that is exactly, but we feel like we’re bouncing off the walls indoors because it has been so cold and rainy outside. We are looking forward to spring…
Last month we helped celebrate Dad’s birthday; we have been using new words like amazing, awesome and delicious; we’ve baked a few batches of cookies with Mom; we visited the bears at Baylor; and, we learned about cousins. Mom and Dad have cousins who have baby cousins like us, and Uncle Tom and Aunt Kelly are going to bring us a baby cousin in a few months. We’re excited to be the big kids!
We’ve also been “e-mailing” with our computers alot lately. (Note from Mom: they’re really calculators.) We see Mom and Dad send important e-mails, so we thought we should too. Mason likes to e-mail Cookie Monster and Batman. Morgan sticks to love notes to Mom and Dad, and an occasional message to Abby Cadabra.
We hope you enjoy the pictures and movies from the last few weeks!

We have been partying non-stop since Thanksgiving…or maybe since our second birthday. At this rate, 2010 is in trouble! The dynamic duo of Mason and Morgan are sure to have another fabulous year.
Mom and Dad feel like we’re learning new words everyday. We surprise them with new phrases and funny sayings all the time. Mason has dropped “Mey Mey” for his sister and now calls her “Moygan.” We also love to go shopping! One of our favorite places to shop is “Toyget” (Target for those who need the translation.). Mom and Dad are just thrilled that we want to get out of our jammies. Morgan went through a phase this month where she would stay in her jammies all day long!
We had loads of fun at Christmas with visits from loved ones near and far. And we had a white Christmas! In fact, we’ve had three snow days in December! We tried to get out in the Christmas blizzard, but it wasn’t much fun. We’re not built for cold weather, and we’re thankful that we’re Texans!
Mom and Dad tell us we have more toys than the toy store, but we’re not sure we believe that. We kept the party going by ringing in the New Year with some friends and good food. We even got to stay up until 11:30!
Enjoy the pictures and new videos from the last few weeks. We look forward to another great year!

Twas the week before Christmas, when all through the house
EVERY creature was stirring, especially the mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes UPS and the mailman soon would be there.
They thought children were nestled all snug in their beds,
With visions of Batman and Tinkerbell dancing in their heads.
Mamma checking her list, and dad with the tape and wrap,
Neither were close to settling their brains for a long winter’s nap.
When up in the office there arose such a clatter,
They sprang up the stairs to see what was the matter.
Away from the keyboard we flew like a flash,
Ran into the nursery and to the cribs we did dash.
This update to Twinfo is important we know,
So we tried to be clever and quick just to show
The latest news and photos to those we hold dear,
Both those far away and those very near.
But this posting, while lively, must also be quick,
So we can get back to bed and wait for St Nick.
Enjoy our pictures and movies – they’re fun and not lame.
We’re blessed with so much and wish you the same!

Well, that might be an exaggeration. We passed all of the tests at our two-year check up. Hooray! Baby doctor man gave us some special nose spray to keep us from turning into piggies. At least that’s what we think he said. We also were weighed and measured. Mason was 37.75 inches tall and 30 lbs. Morgan was 35 inches tall and 26 lbs.
“They” say Mom and Dad can double our height at two to guess how tall we’ll be when we’re full grown. If that’s the case and these “they” people know what “they’re” talking about, we’ll be just about the same heights as our parents. For now, we’ll just focus on growing bigger than we are now.
We also dressed up and celebrated Halloween! We were Thing 1 and Thing 2 and REALLY loved the blue hair part of dressing up. We wish we could use blue hairspray everyday!
We’re enjoying the fall weather and playing in the leaves. Bring on the turkey celebration!
Here are a few pictures from Halloween and other happenings, and we’ve added some new videos to the Twinema.

Unlike most sequels, this birthday was as good if not better than the first! We’re two! Just ask us and we’ll tell you.
We’ve had a full couple of weeks with a visit to the pumpkin patch, our first bouncy house adventure, pre-birthday party with Papa and Grammie, and our birthday weekend with more grandmothers, aunt, uncles, and cousins. Whew!
Once again we were showered with love and gifts from the special people in our lives. We are lucky kids!
Our two year check-up is right around the corner and Mom is anxious to find out how big we are now. If you ask her, we weigh 50 pounds each – especially when she’s holding both of us!
Mason is starting to string words together to ask for everything he thinks he needs. He’s taking special care to be sure “Maymay” (aka Morgan) also has what she needs…unless of course it’s the same thing. Being two will bring all new adventures and challenges, but we’re excited to find out what’s ahead and keep having fun and loving life!
Hope you enjoy this sampling of the 300+ pictures taken in the last couple of weeks (sometimes the paparazzi is out of control!!). And don’t miss the new releases in the Twinema.

That’s right – there’s only 15 days left before we turn 2! Hard to believe we are almost there!
The weather has been rainy most days, but we’ve been enjoying the cooler temps and more quality time going stir crazy in the house. We had a few friends over to play – two more sets of twins and one older sister. It was quite a circus! Everybody had a good time and we slept really well that afternoon.
We’ve also switched from our sandals back to tennis shoes. That wouldn’t be important except that Mason wants to wear his new shoes from the minute he wakes up until he takes a bath at night. And when he has his “Iron Man” shoes on, he thinks Morgan should also be wearing her “Snow White” shoes. We’re getting lots of mileage out of these shoes already.
We’re getting excited about the birthday festivities, and we know it’s the official kick-off to the holiday season at our house. We’ll be non-stop partying until the new year! And we know how to party. Check out our newest photos and videos to see for yourselves.

We’ve splashed in the pool, run in the park, chased one million and one bubbles, and taken swings at baseballs in the backyard. All of that with only one teeny tiny, almost sunburn. Mom was on major melanoma patrol this summer! What a time we had!
As we wrap up our second summer, Mom and Dad marvel at how much we’ve changed in only one year. We can run and run (and run) until we fall over asleep. We are talking up a storm and love wrapping up a long, hot, summer day with a bubble bath and some good stories. Oh and don’t forget the cool glass of milk!
Mom and Dad are finally beginning to understand more of what we’re telling them. How hard is it to understand toddler talk anyway?! Geez, you’d think one word at a time would be easy to follow. They’re coming around though and we’re proud of them.
We’ve spent hot summer afternoons curled up on the couch watching Nemo or Lady and the Tramp (4 million times if you ask Dad). And as the evenings get cooler, we’ve been learning how to hit baseballs and visiting the park more often. We’re looking forward to more fresh air as the weather gets cooler.
We’ve had a great summer! Be sure to check out our photos and twindependent films to see (and hear) us in action!
