Double stroller business

 Today the girls & I got the opportunity to take a walk with our new stroller!

Last week I took our double BOB back to REI (and got a full refund, even after owning it for 9+ months!; THANK you REI membership!) because of it's bulkiness. I was throwing my back out nearly every time I took it in and out of my truck.
Next best option for us was the Phil & Teds stroller with a doubles kit. Works like a charm!


The double BOB weighs around 40lbs & the Phil&Teds weighs closer to 28lbs. HUGE difference.


My little ladies & I
 Kyla used to just scream and scream in the BOB...  welp, she sleeps "like a baby" in the P&T (this stroller is DEFINITELY a keeper now!)
P&T Stroller officially passed the sleeping baby test

View from the Point Whitehorn Marine Reserve lookout
 The girls, my little sister, and I took a walk down the trail at Point Whitehorn Marine Reserve. Beautifully maintained trail, close to home, warm "Indian summer" day. . . what's not to like really?

Stopping at all the lookouts to see over the water was my favorite.
Fall colors are here already!



Love having my sister come along & help out with the kids
 With a teething 14 month old & a colicky 2.5 month old sisterly help is quite welcome.
Super fun trail to walk along

Stairs that led straight to the beach
 Had to get in a little extra picture taking. I think I'm waaay more excited about this stroller business than your average Mama.

Phil & Teds Explorer Stroller with doubles kit. FABULOUS investment!
If the girlies are happy with it, I am surely happy with it.

I added in an infant insert for the back for Kyla (since she's younger than the recommended age to ride in the seat). It supports her head & neck fully & safely, as well as gives her extra cushion & warmth!

Foundation

As I thought up a title for this blog, manic, mania, crazy & hyperactive are all that came to mind. I need to make sure that Trevor & I are setting up a firm foundation for our girlies. Eloquence is not my strong suite when it comes to words so bare with me.

I am a 23 year old Mommy to a darling 9 month old daughter; Alexis Renee. She is going to be a big sister right before her first birthday to baby girl #2; Kyla Ann. My crazy blessing #1 was getting pregnant twice in 2 years, giving me Irish Twins just under a year apart. Cannot wait for this adventure!
 Family pictures; Alexis was 4 months old.
 Lexi being the little ball of joy she is at 6 months old
 Oh LOVE... Trevor & I met through church 9 (Yes NINE) years ago. We were friends for a year, dated for 5 years, and now have been married for almost 3 years. This man is my stronghold, encourager, provider & best friend. This is at my high school graduation (thought we were SOOO cool) womp womp... after 3 years of dating.
February 2010 Trevor & I bought our first home! It's a small home with 3 bedrooms & 2 bathrooms. We are working on filling it with love, laughter, & simplicity as we strive to raise our girls the way our good Lord would want us to.
