Family night Swim night



We just had to do it! When you're so consumed with infant twins, 3 busy boys, a husband you hardly ever see, because of full time school and night shifts, demanding church callings, etc. We just had to drop everything and go out for a night as a family and have some fun! I don't even know why we chose swimming, but we did and it was really fun! The big boys swam with Jeff while the babies and I hung out on the bench observing. I've decided my boys are fish! 
Ben on the diving board!

Calvin and Ben Reflections Winners and a school night for the Family


I'm proud of these two, they each entered paintings in the schools annual reflections contest. Their paintings were both chosen to advance to the district competition, and from the district Ben's was chosen to advance to Region! They were both very proud of their work and happy that Ben's was going forward. I'll have to post pictures of their stuff later from my better camera. Good job guys! 
 The photo above was taken the other night at the schools STEM night. It was an exhibit night where different careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math were showcased. The kids loved it!


Free Aggie Ice Cream! Yum!

Fun making slime!

Watching the gummy bear burn, and all it's energy! (it also set off the fire alarm and we had to evacuate the building) lol!


NASA (ATK) my boys love spaceships, and rockets!

3 months old!!



These two are 3 months!! 
They continue to be the light of my life along with their big brothers. They are so fun and smiley! They're both beginning to get on a better sleep schedule. At 3
1/2 months Henry slept 10 hours one night, 9 another. Charlie's longest stretch has been about 6. Charlie is rolling over!!! Henry is rolling off of the chair and the ottoman!! :( Henry weighs 13 1/2 lbs and Charlie 10.9 lbs. Henry is wearing size 2 diapers and Charlie size 1's. Henry is wearing 3-6month clothes and Charlie 3 month clothes. At 3 1/2 months I gave them some tiny tastes of rice cereal. They LOVED it!! And ate it pretty good without choking or gagging! Henry has been on a round of antibiotics for an ear infection, but other than that they've been perfectly healthy! They love to be snuggled and held and talked to. They Love noisy toys and noisy big brothers. They both smile at the air and love their baths. Charlie really likes being massaged. (I think it helps his tummy). They love their mommy the most because I'm writing this, but love big daddy too. I still can't believe I have twins!! I love them!!
