Happy Halloween!

The boys first (well second really) Halloween. Seeing they were 2 1/2 months last year we don't count that. This is the first year to wear costumes. Mika was a lion and Raine was a monkey. Seemed appropriate. We had a great day at a Halloween Festival then home to pass out candy to the Trick-or-Treaters. The boys only left on their costumes while we were passing out candy. Then we went for a nice walk around the neighborhood so we could see all the crazy decorations. One house had a Jack from Nightmare Before Christmas that was as big as his house. We loved it! The joke of the night was the boys were dressed up as babies, normally they are monsters.

Hollyfest, Halloween Festival 09

What an amazing day we had! Josh and I took the day off to have a wonderful day filled with our family. We started our day with a family breakfast. Then off to Hollyfest, we all had a great time talking to all our neighbors and watching the Helevac land and take off. Did I mention the tasty funnel cake and pig races? These boys are getting so big, we are so grateful for all the room to let them run, run, run.

An Evening at the NC State Fair

Another first for the Dulcich boys, the North Carolina State Fair. We had such a great time. The boys went to the petting zoo. As usual Mika dove right in, Raine only took seconds before going hands first into the animals mouths. Other than the creep out factor of my kids' hands in random animals mouths it was fun to watch their reactions. They both loved it. As always at the fair you have to have a little junk food, a chocolate covered banana is always a winner.

Mika "The Escapee"

Boys fed, time for Mommy and Daddy to eat and for the boys to play in their play room. I'm thinking Mika wasn't in on this plan. He apparently had a plan of his own. This kid is too strong! One more new trick is opening all the doors, it's amazing to watch and hard to believe that such little dudes can reach so high. Time to invest in more baby proofing items.

Who said my boys are always naked? They were clothes, sometimes.

It's amazing how big the boys look in their cute little jeans. They are getting bigger by the second. 13 months and counting. Raine has taken to climbing. Very scary for us. Josh walked into Mika's room to find Raine laying on top the stool. It's a good thing we had it propped against the wall so it wouldn't sway. It's a busy job keeping track of two incredibly active boys who are just asking for trouble. Certainly keeps us on our toes, A LOT.

13 months playing together

Two crazy boys playing with each other. 13 months old and as fun as ever. Gotta love the built in playmates. There's one aspect of twins that makes life easier.

For all my Califorina Peeps

For all my California Peeps, just thought I would share a little rain. From what I hear the fires haven't stopped long enough for the aftermath rain to begin. So here is a little something for you to enjoy. Thank God it only lasted 30 minutes, I was afraid our house was going to float away.

Two Babies Walking

Two Babies Walking? This changes everything. No not really, they are faster crawling still thankfully. For now anyway.

Raine walking

Yeah! Raine is a walking little boy. I am so excited for him. He loves to walk, he giggles everytime he walks. The boys are now able to team up and go seperate ways making it harder for Mommy and Daddy to reel them in. Did someone say leashes? Just kidding, I think.

Happy 1st Birthday to the Twins

Happy 1st Birthday to our wonderful boys. I can't believe Raine and Mika are one year old now. We had such a great day, the boys stayed busy swimming in their pool twice and playing with their guests. Grandma and Cousin Ian came all the way form San Diego, California. Miss Maria was a huge help in celebrating the boys birthday. We were so excited to have her, Melissa and Sebastian over. Grandpa enjoyed the day with us as well. After all the festivities were over Grandpa left to go back to San Diego, he has been with us in North Carolina since February. We will really miss him. Thank you so much everyone for making this the best birthday ever.

Raine giving kisses!

What a lovable boy Raine is. He wanted to give everyone kisses.

The boys sharing breakfast

Well, I guess teaching our boys to share will not be too much trouble, with food anyway.

Raine Standing...next walking!

Raine being the cautious boy he is has taken to standing. He seems to want to walk and loves walking when Momma and Papa hold his hands. It seems his fear for falling on his fanny has overcome his want to walk on his own. Mika on the other hand... well the video says it all.

Just another day at the Dulcich house...

Just another day in the Dulcich house... Mika is so excited to be walking. Raine says "Go Chargers". Papa is cleaning those messy, messy boys. Raine is coming out to play. and Momma and Mika are happy to spend the afternoon together.

Mika walks everywhere now!

Our Mika man is all about walking now! He walks everywhere, It is so cute, his sideways step. The question is, is this controlled falling or is it walking. Only time will tell. And by the way,Holy Cr**! I have been mugged.

Mika walking with his firetruck!

Mika loves walking with his firetruck! He has taken many steps on his own; however, he just doesn't have the confidence yet. Every day we are close to a child who walks on two not on all four.

The Fire Truck

The boys went crazy over their new Fire Truck. Thank you Grandpa, we love our new truck. Raine is the one crawling to see what Mika is up to.

4th of July

Another first, The 4th of July, we all had a nice time at a BBQ. Raine (in green), Mika (in red), Grandpa, Daddy, and Mommy ate burgers and drank beer. Just kidding, the boys ate their typical sweet potatoes, bananas, and whole grain bread. The boys got to play with a lot of babies their age and we got to talk to adults (that's a new concept). No fireworks for us this year, just a bit late for the boys to stay up. Next year we will try for fireworks.

Mika snoring

For those who didn't believe a baby could snore as loud as a lion, here's my proof! The Mika Man at his best.

Two of my favorite boys in the whole wide world! There's nothing like a little Papa and Raine Love.
