My parents last night in town we spent with them at their house. Swimming, dinner and a little family time. It is always so fun when they visit.

and again

seriously! She was right next to me!! I used the bagbalm while changing her diaper. Then while changing Owen's diaper I saw her eye balling it so I moved it behind me. That sneaky little lady crawled around me without me noticing and before I knew it, it was all over her. I faintly recall letting out a little scream when I realized what had happened.

A few more...

We took a few more shots of the girls after church. They are so silly together. After I took a few, they came up with a few poses themselves. Love these girls.

Madee & Anna's Baptism song



The girls sang this song at their baptism. Aren't they cute!?

Anna's Baptism

This was Anna's special day. She was baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She was so excited and had been anticipating this day for months. I was a wreck! It's amazing to me how many emotions you can feel as a parent. I was overwhelmed....so amazed at what a young lady she has become, so excited for her to be an actual member of the church, a little nervous because she was nervous, but mostly just so proud of her. She is such a wonderful girl. We love you Anna Jane. (pictured with her BFF above who shared the same baptism day.)

1 Year Already

I can hardly believe I've had these two for a year now. They are seriously such a delight. I have perma-grin most the day just watching their sweet faces and seeing them grow and interact with each other and their sisters. Their first birthday comes with mixed emotions though; I feel RELIEF that I DID it!! I survived the first year with twins and did so with surprising ease. I feel JOY in watching them learn and grow. I feel DISAPPOINTMENT that at their 1 year appointment they were in the 1st and 2nd percentile for weight. They are the mini-est and I'm wondering how I can fatten them up. I feel SATISFACTION in their cuteness. I do think Paul and I breed some cute little ones. I feel SADNESS that they are my last and growing too quickly. I'm holding onto every moment. (And yes, they are my last. Paul's "appointment" is Friday afternoon.) And finally, I feel BLESSED. I am so incredibly lucky to be the mother of twins. I thank my Heavenly Father everyday for such an amazing gift.

My parents are in town so we spent most of the day hanging out at my sisters.

Then it was time to sing and have some cake!

Owen wasn't too sure about it at first.

Then he really let us know how he felt about it. I had no idea he would detest his hands being dirty so much!

Lily was a different story. She ate...

While switching the laundry...

I'm usually a big fan of this stuff. Works great on diaper rash.

Not today though.

I washed her hair 3 times and there is still a ton in there. At least she's moisturized.

Smores

Photobucket

It was spring break for our kids this past week and the weather has been terrible!! Yesterday we finally got a nice day. We were outside most of the day playing and building garden boxes. In the evening we decided to have a fire with our leftover wood and make smores.

Girls weekend in Vegas

I had such a fun time with some college gal pals in vegas this past weekend. And though I do not gamble or party, we still had much to do in sin city. We laughed, shopped, ate some incredible food, laughed some more, went to the pool to sit in the sun for about 5 minutes, went clubbing...if you count the time we were at Tao waiting for our table, shopped some more, reminisced, went to Le Reve, and stayed up way past our bedtime. Thanks ladies, loved hanging out with all of your sweet faces. (Most of these pics, compliments of Leah...the hot blonde.)
