This one below makes me believe that they're

the mirrored identical twins. They do some of

the exact same things at the very same time!

The Boys

It's been crazy having twins, but we've enjoyed every minute of it.

This one cracks me up. It looks like Eli is screaming at Davis.

Meet Davis & Eli

Eli is on the left and Davis is on the right.

They're finally here! They made their debut on Friday, January 16th at 1:23 in the afternoon. Yes, they were both born at 1:23. Eli first and Davis followed 20 seconds later. Their full names are Elijah Thomas and Davis Andrew. Eli was 6lbs 3 oz at birth and Davis was 6lbs 6oz. They were down to 5lbs and 7oz at the last weight check. Still, they were very big for twins. The doctors confirmed that they are indeed identical. There are a few slight differences that help us tell them apart, but at 2:00 in the morning I usually can't tell one from the other. Stay tuned for more pictures to come!

More Pix

This was our Christmas Card this year.



Hiding in the Paw-Paw Patch.



He looks like a 1920's newsboy...or a little gangster...



Incase any of you were wondering...Kenneth Cole does make a suit in a size 3, but it was huge. Buy a smaller size if you can find it!

John Carter's 3 Year Portraits

Silly Sailor!


He actually looks like me in this picture!



Swinging from Aunt Kitty's tree.



Daddy's Boy.



Here is one of the few pictures I've allowed to be taken of me in my "condition." After I saw this I never wore that shirt again. Red was never ment to be worn by a very pregnant woman.

Merry Christmas

As most of you know I'm now on strict bed-rest and haven't been able to make any posts lately. I wanted to get these Christmas pictures up before the twins get here. We hope you all had a safe and fun Christmas with your families.

Here is John Carter opening his "Bobby Flay" cookware. (Yes, he has a "boy" kitchen and sometimes he pretends to be Bobby Flay or Emeril Lagasse. He likes to "BAM" in his little kitchen) Maybe he'll be a chef?



You know how he loves the Power Rangers...Here is his new Red Ranger Helmet!

He also got a cool Thomas shaving kit. I'll have to post those pictures later.

I had to spend Christmas Day in bed, but Tim and John Carter had fun playing with all his new toys. Maybe the next time you're here you'll see our newest Clarks!

Have a great New Year!

Santa's Village

At Santa's Village We....
Wrote a letter to Santa...


Sat in his lap and told him all the things he "needed."


...Had fun with the cut-out snowman...
(which was right beside the real reindeer Pee-Yew!)

Drove Daddy on Santa's Sleigh...

...and had lots of fun making cookies and ornaments in the kitchen and toyshop.

By the way, Mrs. Clause had a reading room for the children. Did any of you know that Santa's got a hottie, 20-something, Latino wife? We were impressed.

Merry Christmas everyone!

But Mama....

He has this red Power Ranger costume that he wears every single day. He doesn't want to take it off to sleep, eat or especially go shopping. He thinks he's really cool dressed this way. (Note the red rain boots with the flames. This was the first pair of shoes he's obsessed over and wore them with EVERYTHING including shorts this summer.)
This is what goes on at our house every day now...

Outside for some "kick-spins" and sword practice.

If he chooses to remove the mask this is as far as it gets.

And my personal favorite...

"But mama, Power Rangers have to potty too!"
Hey at least he took the gloves off.

He's so funny to watch. I know it won't be long until there will be three little Power Rangers running around so I'm enjoying every minute we get to spend together.

John Carter's "Red" Party

Our little boy turned 3 on November 21st!
When we asked him what kind of party he wanted this year he said "red." We asked again, "A red what?" His reply: "JUST RED!" So that's what we had....a big red party with a huge red train bouncy house thanks to Meme and Poppy. Here are some of his little friends celebrating with him...

Madyson & Jacob

John Carter, Bailey & Caroline (Caroline is the leader of the "gang" at Mrs. Vickies. Mrs. Vickie is our wonderful babysitter)

Enjoying his RED "Happy Cake"

He and his good buddy Caroline had a cake eating contest. I'm not sure who won.

Note how neatly Kendall (pronounced Candle by J.C.) is eating her cake. John Carter has spotted an opportunity to steal some of her icing.

Mitch (Caroline's big bro.) and Riley (Bailey's big sis.)

This is in the middle of the eating contest.

John Carter giving uncle Michael a birthday present. Michael's my little brother and we happened to have the party on his birthday, the 22nd. (Bama wasn't playing that day, so Tim agreed to the party being then)

"Miss Nevaeh" and Mallory

We want to thank all of our friends and family for sharing his birthday with us. We would also like to say thank you to everyone for the presents. (I'm a little slow getting the thank-you cards out). He was tripping on a major sugar high by the time we got home, but he had a blast.

Baby shower for the twins

Tim prepares his lap for holding more than one child

Two little "lovies" for the babies.



Little Hartstrings outfits for the boys!

We received so many sweet little outfits, cool baby gear and tons of diapers and wipes! Thanks to all the great ladies who helped put our shower together and prepared the delicious food. Our church family is so generous. I don't know what we would do without them!
Now, I just have to find a place to put everything.....
