a walk that was SO MUCH MORE

than just a "walk"....

Not only did we walk, we celebrated, we cried, we remembered and we honored!!!!!!!

This was our first year to participate in the March of Dimes walk. We raised a WHOPPING $1600!!!!! Many of our family members and friends walk to honor our 2lb miracle QUADS!!!!!!!! This will continue to be an annual event for our family!!!!!!

This is what our shirts looked like that we all wore. A big thank you goes out to our good friend Matt for designing them & the Taylors for making them for us.

Here they are sporting their shirts that they received from the walk!!!!!!

Hoppy Easter

just a little late...............

Easter this year was WAY different......

we went to church

they ran and "actually" hunted for the eggs (except for Cooper) & had a blast with the confetti eggs............

Loved having Easter buckets with "goodies" in them...........

It was a great weekend. It was very busy with their party on Saturday and Easter on Sunday, but they did great with it all. We had all the family over to our house, Easter is a big deal in our family. And of course the confetti eggs are a big war with the "big kids" and the little ones too!

Happy 2nd Birthday

I decided this year to go with the Dr. Suess Cat in the Hat theme~ I have to admit, I thought it turned out really cute! I also did something different this year, I hired someone to come over take all the picture at the birthday party, that way I could ACTUALLY enjoy it. I will tell you it was WELL WORTH THE MONEY! I wasn't worried the whole time if I was getting in on camera or if I was missing something. Because lets be honest with four of them at once you will miss something! I had the big cake made from a local girl here who does cakes, and I made the 4 small ones for each of the babies, I don't think they turned out to bad! Gavin and Cole aka: CoCo. If you notice they changed outfits at the party for two reasons. One I didn't want cake all over the new yellow shirts and TWO, I used the yellow shirts with the plaid shorts for their Easter outfit the next day! I just ordered the thing 1,2,3 & 4 iron ons from Ebay.

Cooper and Daddy, can you tell Easter was the next day? Cooper LOVES this car.

This was one of their birthday presents, they loved this picnic table! I love it too. I folds up for easy storage and the umbrella is a great added bonus! They also got the water/sand table with an umbrella for their birthday! That was so funny watching them splash each other with the water, we haven't tried sand in it yet. Some of the yummy fruits we served! This is one of my favorite punches~it is cherry limeaide, just like Sonic. It is always such a hit with the kids and adults. The kids were too funny eating their cake this year. Since they now use forks they weren't really sure "how" to eat it. I love this one of Ella. I eventually had to give them forks. Cooper took his cake and dumped it on the floor before we even started singing happy birthday~

Casen's facial expression on this page is priceless, look is at those cute little hands fixing to dive in. He ended up just using one finger and smearing the icing on his and Ella's face. It looked like the had make up on!

Ella and Casen were the only two interested in opening presents. You see here they got a potty from their Nonnie & Popo, well let me just say, we are not anywhere near potty training yet~ Casen with his Auntie Ashley!

I love this picture of Kennedy in the jump house! Haiden was no where in sight for pictures!

Ella was stealing everyones candy boxes~ She is such a hoarder!
They had such a great party with lots of family, friends & food. A fellow quad mom, Betsy and her crew came to celebrate our big day with us as well. I still can't believe that they are two already, I am to scard to blink, because the next thing I know they will be in Kindergarten. We are so blessed to have these 2lb miracles in our lives and I thank God for them everyday!

Here are their 2yr old check up stats:

ella: 24lbs 321/2 in tall

cole: 25lbs 34 1/4 in tall

cooper: 29lbs 341/2 in tall

casen: 26lbs and 33in tall

They are doing so many new things, still have great sleepy habits. They go to bed around 7pm and get up at 7-8am! They only take one nap a day from 12-3 so I am not complaining. They are starting to be really picky eaters. I am hoping this is just a phase. Coopers temper tantrums are awful right now! He throws himself down and then backwards, although he had bumped his head enough now that he eases backwards. He tries to pull his hair out too when he gets mad. UGH! I know this too shall pass. Ella has become VERY bossy~and her favorite word is NO! Casen and Cole are still my worse bitters! I will say, it has gotten now where they are biting few & far between. Cole is still the most verbal, and Casen is still a HAM! They have also become skilled CLIMBERS, which scares the dickens out of me! However, life is good and I wouldn't change a thing. Happy 2nd Birthday to our sweet babies (toddlers)~

Professional Pictures 2nd Birthday

A big thank you to Kayla, she always does such a great job with the kiddos~

Is that what I think it is????

WHAT do you get when you put Brandy & Betsy in one room TOGETHER????? ONE VERY RARE SIGHT, THAT IS FOR SURE!!!!!!!!!!!!

2 sets of quads, 2 sets of older siblings & 2 FABULOUS quads + two mama friends!!!!!!!!!! Yes, ladies & gentlemen between the two of us we have 12 children all together & 2 smokin hot hubbies!

We met up a few months ago through a quad mom group, what was even better was we lived only 30 mintues from each other! We talk all the time. We went to the Gilbride Gang's 1st birthday party a few weeks ago, and then they came to the Perez quads 2nd birthday party this Saturday. We had such a great time together. We look forward to watching the kiddos form friendships & bonds just as we have!
PS: I will be posting birthday & Easter pics soon, once I sort through all 600 of them!ha!

SHARK, BARRACUDA or SWEET ELLA???????

Cole walked up to me and says, "Mom, Ella BITE!!!!!" Even though the picture is blurry, you can certainly see where she did indeed BITE him. Of course I go to talk to Ella and explain to her that we don't bite.

Only problem.........Ella had ran to "HIDE"!

I say to her "Ella, please take off the blanket you need to tell Cole your sorry for biting" She slowly takes off the blanket to "peek out"!I then ask her again, "Ella did you bite Cole?" Her response was this big expression!I tell her AGAIN, "Ella we DON'T BITE, please tell Cole your sorry for biting!"

This was her response to that statement!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bless their hearts, this was just so stinking sweet of her giving him "LOVES" & SAYING SORRY! Of course I know that biting is par for the course with almost two year olds, but I just hate them to bite one another. Their cries from a sibling bite are just so sad (as are all their cries). The good news is, we haven't had very much biting going on anymore! I know, I know I just JINXED myself, but it is true for now anyway! The melt my heart when the "give love" to one another! The funny part thing about the whole biting is~~~COLE IS THE WORST ABOUT BITING! Hmmmm......I am thinking he didn't like a dose of his own medicine! On a side note, now every time something happens to Casen he always says "owwww bite" and of course 9 times out of 10 he is not been bit!
