DECEMBER 2006 - JANUARY 2007
COUSINS WEEKEND WITH 80s THROW BACK
FRIDAY-SUNDAY, January 26th-28th, 2007 - The kids stayed home this weekend and it was mommy's turn to have some fun. The Betzal/Joslin Cousins celebrated their 10th annual Cousins Weekend in the Poconos this weekend with special guest, Party Palma. The Saturday theme was a 1980s party. Cousin Joey was in his glory as the 80s music played and all the cousins dressed up in their 1980s attire.
Erin and Colin stayed home and practiced running circles around each other. You should see these kids move. Colin thinks he is a track star as he dashes from one side of the room to the other. Erin is much more graceful and also getting around very easily. Click on the above picture for more cousins weekend pictures.

SPRINGFIELD POLICE VISIT
MONDAY, January 22, 2007 - Erin was a little lonely this morning so she decided to summons the Springfield Police Department via calling 911. Mommy had no clue until she answered the front door greeted by the 5-0. Way to scare mommy Erin, that was very funny. Now don't do it again unless you need them.

UNCLE JACK RETURNS FROM THE CARIBBEAN....

SATURDAY, January 13, 2007 - As the Saints and Eagles were just about to start their game, Mr. Colin decided to take a few steps with the encouragement of mommy, daddy and Uncle Jack. He isn't as graceful as Erin, well actually he looks like a drunken sailor, but he is now officially walking. Check out the video by clicking here.

IN 143 MONTHS WE'LL BE TEENS...
MONDAY, January 8, 2007 - Yep, that's right, but right now we are 13 MONTHS old. Before you know it we'll be in high school, dating, playing sports and getting into all sorts of trouble. Enjoy the 13 month old pictures. We are hoping to have video of Colin walking soon, he is taking 2-3 steps at a time now. Also, if you cannot watch the video from this site, go to the quicktime site to download the free software to be able to view. Good Luck.

WALKING IN SPRINGFIELD
SUNDAY, January 7, 2007 - As the Eagles walked up and down the field against the NY Giants, Little Miss Erin decided to do some walking of her own. She is walking several steps now and big brother Colin is cheering her every move. Click here to view the video of Erin walking, it's sooooo cute. GO EAGLES!



"This walking stuff is very tiring,
I need a nap on Uncle Jack
"

Guess where daddy was tailgating during all of the day long activities.
Looks like somebody enjoys his wings, mmmmmmm.

HAPPY 2007
MONDAY, January 1, 2007 - Happy New Year everyone. Erin and Colin are both taking an unassisted one or two steps each when they feel like it and then hit the floor crawling again. They both have new years eve resolutions to run so fast, mommy and daddy won't be able to catch them.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMA BETZAL
TUESDAY, December 19, 2006 - Today is Grand mom's birthday, hopefully everyone called her to say hi. The twins have been feeling a little under the weather this week so we haven't had many good photo opportunities. Everyone is slowly starting to feel better and we should have pictures of grand mom's birthday dinner later this weekend. So stop surfing the net and get out there and finish your Christmas shopping for Erin and Colin.
Here are some pictures from Grand mom's birthday dinner on Friday 12/22/06 at Duffers Pub

SATURDAY, December 9, 2006 - FINALLY, the big birthday PARTY day has arrived. Mommy and Daddy dressed them to the nines and the caterer arrived by 3pm. The twins absolutely loved having their family over to help them celebrate the one year anniversary of their birth. After indulging in plenty of food and drinks; it was time for the cake. Let us first thank Acme for their donation of the birthday cakes, Erin and Colin loved them. The twins stared in amazement as the family tried to keep a tune and sing “Happy Birthday”. Thankfully, Ms. Olivia Bonsall was there to keep everyone on key. Their first birthday has come and gone but a years worth of memories will be cherished for a lifetime.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE BEST TWINS IN THE WORLD.
THANK YOU ERIN AND COLIN, WE LOVE YOU!!!!!

HAPPY 01 ERIN AND COLIN!
FRIDAY, December 8th 2006 - Well this, their actual birthday was a busy one for Erin and Colin. After finishing the laundry and practicing the “Happy Birthday” song all day; the twins were in bed by 8pm to rest up for the arrival of the Treude’s and Betzal’s tomorrow. To view video of the preparation, click here.
STOP..... WE said we want TOYS toys for our birthday, NOT TICKLES

GEARING UP FOR THE BIG DAY
MONDAY, December 4, 2006 - Colin got his 1st official haircut today, meaning daddy didn't doing it himself using the kitchen shears. This trip to "Kids Cuts Inc." was in preparation for the big birthday bash this coming weekend. As you know, the twins turn ONE YEAR OLD on December the 8th, 2006 . Erin spent the day with mommy at Topper's Spa in Philadelphia getting pampered for several hours. In view of the fact that she doesn't have much hair yet; she opted for a manicure, pedicure and facial and indulged in a one hour full-body massage (that took only 10 minutes because of her size). Unfortunately, per corporate policy, no cameras were allowed inside of Toppers to capture the memories.
Colin made out better than Uncle Jack did at his 1st trip to the Barber Shop. At least Colin didn't kick his stylist, way to go buddy! We all know it can be scary when a stranger comes at you with a BIG pair of shiny sharp scissors.
Fun times here in the Treude Family household. Please think of us often as you start your Christmas shopping this weekend. "THE TREUDE TWINS ARE TURNING ONE" may even be the headline in Saturday's newspaper, check it out.

ERIN AND COLIN POP UP AT AVA'S CHRISTENING
SATURDAY, December 2, 2006 - The twins got word that grand-pop Betzal was baptizing Ava Kenney today so they hitched a ride to St. Joe's in Aston to join the crowd. Having been through this before, they were able to alert Ava that the water would be a little cold but she would be dried off rather quickly. Ava appreciated the helpful information and the baptism went off without incident. After the beautiful ceremony, Erin and Colin headed to the Kenney's house to indulge in some chic-fila nuggets but were a bit disappointed to discover they weren't on the menu. Thanks anyway for the invite Mary and Bob.
