Feeding ourselves!

The pictures say it all. It is an adventure mama is going to wait a little longer before we try it again!

Happy Independence Day!

I didn't buy any of the clothes for this holiday. Thanks to cousin Benjamin for the great digs Dallin is wearing! I actually bought Clara's outfit before she was born for $3 (I am sure Alisa thinks this is a great deal :) ). They were pretty cooperative for the pics although Clara wanted brother's hat for herself!



Activities on the 4th of July: Daddy and Clara reading books at the park and Dallin playing with his favorite toy Granee bought for him. It supposedly tastes like vanilla!?

7 months old and up to no good!

The babies are 7 months old! Among many new tricks, the most distressing for mama is the crawling Dallin has picked up and the fact that my little girl has turned into quite the drama queen already! Don't be deceived by the ultra cute pictures of her...she will throw full on tantrums when ever and where ever she pleases. Dallin is not safe to put anywhere on the floor now and it will only get worse once sister figures out how to move too! They grow up and become mobile way too soon!

Swimming Suites

We finally broke down and bought the babies swimming suites while we were in Phoenix. I haven't actually used them yet as I need to buy swim diapers still, but the intention is good and don't they look adorable?!

More twins!

These are the last set of twins (of three) born in the family. Their names are Keenan and Kiaya. They are 5 weeks old and in the pic my are almost 7 months old. The big sister is Chanelle. She is 10 years old and a great help to mom and dad. It was fun to see them and snuggle on them. I don't remember mine being that small. They seem so big these days!

Jennifer

I haven't posted lately because our lives have gotten a little more complicated in the past couple of weeks. Last Friday Mason's sister, Jennifer, and her 3 boys were in a very serious car accident which left her oldest boy with 39 stitches on his forehead and her in critical condition. She hasn't woken up yet, but we are hopeful. We do not know what the full damage to her brain is at the moment, but she has a broken collar bone, broken shoulders (both), 8 to 9 broken ribs and she currently has pneumonia. We ask for your prayers. Mason is trying to work in Carlsbad while I am staying at mom's in Phoenix so I can go to the hospital daily and visit with Jennifer and help distract Jackie. I will post pics of the cute babies later.

Bath time smiles and washcloths

Apparently I used to suck on washcloths when I took baths as a baby. Do all babies do this or is it genetic?
