Happy Easter 2014

My heart is full and so are my arms! I'm so thankful for my Savior. Because of him I get to be with all my boys for all eternity!  I truly believe that families are forever. I feel so blessed be a part of this special bunch of boys' lives and to be their mother! I love them to the moon and back! 

Babies' First Easter!! Gosh I just love these two happy babies! I often feel like life is a party when they're around. Yes, they have their moments, but overall they are so much fun!! I love being a twin mommy! 

After working tirelessly on their Easter eggs, these boys were ready for some egg racing! 

Babes on the blanket as we rolled our eggs down the hill. They got pretty tired and forced us to leave a bit early. The kids had a blast nevertheless. 

After church we enjoyed a nice Easter dinner at grandma Oldham's. Rob and Christy and Scotty and Em and Jor and Bella, Ollie, and Vivi, Ina, Hailey, Biz, and mom and dad and all of us included. The weather couldn't have been better, church was uplifting and inspiring, and

It was a very Happy Easter! 

Hope yours was too! 

Hair cut!

 Around the middle or end of March I chopped my hair and donated it to locks of love. I really like the new cut! I was able to give almost 14 inches, and it's a good thing I did it then because my hair has been falling out lately! ;)

Spring Break 2014

We decided to stay close to home for this one. The kids really enjoyed spending time with daddy working on and riding 4 wheelers..

Calvin and Ben pushing it home after the pull cord broke. Good teamwork here! 

After a day of 4-wheeling, we took the kids down to swim at the Clearfield pool.

It's a fun one with warm water a large play area, a lazy river and waterslide. 

I didn't bring my nice camera because of all the water and I failed to get pictures if everyone with my phone! So here are the ones I captured with the babies swimming for their first time. 

Tommy was swimming around so well and had a blast on the waterslide! 

Charlie

Henry and daddy

And thus is how we fed the army if hungry boys afterwards! It was lots of fun!

Babies around 5 1/2 months

These cute little stinkers... They grow and change so much so quickly I just have to get more pictures of them! 

That dimpled smile of Henry's he so freely gives! I love it!

And Charlie baby...so so sweet! I hope that second bottom tooth will come in soon! It's been causing you some pain! 

Tommy is so good with his babies...he helps me so much and has the kindest gentlest heart of a four year old I can't even believe it! Love my little Tommy!

Jeff with Charlie...he knows how to get those smiles out. :)

Calvin and the school play

Calvin was so excited to be a part if his school play RATS!! The story if the pied piper. He did a great job and the whole family enjoyed watching him.  Good work Calvin boy! 

6 months!!

Stop it right now! No way are these two six months old!!  We have survived half a year with twins!! It hasn't even been that bad! It has been challenging, don't get me wrong, but we have been so blessed by the sweetest happiest babies ever! Not to mention the best friends and family who haves helped us in so many ways!  It has been a wonderful 6 months. 

These are pictures at the Dr.'s office

They were having such a great time until shots! :(. But they only cried for a minute and back to their happy selves again. 

Henry now weighs 16 1/2 pounds is in size 2 diapers and 9-12 month clothes. 

Charlie is 13 1/2 pounds still squeezing in size 1 diapers and wearing 6-9 month clothes. 

They both have two bottom teeth now! They are eating rice cereal and oatmeal everyday and down about 1/2 -1 full cup per feeding. I like to feed them in the morning after they've nursed, a little bit for lunch and a large bowl before bed. They are still breastfed for 99.9% of their meals and luckily they both will take a bottle so if we are headed to church or out of town I can quickly add formula to some water and feed them easily on the go. As far as baby food goes, They both love green beans and peas and kind of like carrots and sweet potato, but they really dont like fruits yet. A favorite of both of theirs is the flavored puff melt always and to take sips of water from a cup. They get so excited about it, it's the cutest thing. 

They also roll all over the place when I lay them on a blanket to play they are never in the same place anymore. They both want to crawl sooo bad and can get up on all fours and rock. It's just a matter of time before they're all over the house! They both sleep fairly well, only waking to nurse and then right back to sleep. 

Oh I love them so much! 

We've been trying to take them on walks which they've hated and balled and screamed the whole way around the block, but today was the first time that I thought they seemed to truly enjoy it! They were really good! 

So many smiles! 

Outside on the trampoline, their faces were killing me! :)

Loving this beautiful warm Spring weather!

Happy 6 months Henry and Charlie!!

You are both so very loved!
