February

I will not make it a habit to only post once a month, but a lot has happened this month and I have been busy moving, baking babies and dealing with 2 wonderful two year olds! (please read with sarcasm!)
Here is a smattering of the happenings this past month.


Painting rocks was a great idea Granee had on a warm Carlsbad day to get the kids outside for a little while! Clara ate some paint and Dallin stayed pretty serious about the whole activity!


Haircuts for all. Clara was so excited that I let her get a haircut too. We just trimmed it up and she thought she was big stuff. Dallin has a several haircuts as he has hair like his dad which grows quite fast. I had her cut his hair really short on top this time so I wouldn't have to worry about it as much when we moved to Silver City and now all it does is stand straight up on top!

Silly baby...I won't say what he is concentrating on in this pic!

This is how Dallin and Clara spend their evenings before going to bed...watching a great movie for a few minutes to calm down and give their mom and granee a break! Don't be decieved with how good and calm they look...it wasn't 5 minutes before that they were screaming and throwing tantrums.

"I am going to work"

I haven't wanted to be a slacker in the posting department, but until today my camera chip hasn't wanted to work in my computer.
Here are some recent pics of the babes.

Clara got her ears pierced a few weeks ago and since I have to clean them 2-3 times a day she has started recognizing when I am going to clean them and looks at me while covering her ears saying, "I'm okay!"



Dallin and Clara discovered that Mason had left his work vest at home the other day and proceeded to take turns wearing it with their work hats.


Dallin is everywhere these days and has to do whatever I am doing whether it be dishes, vacuuming, dusting, etc. We love his help, but it does take 50% longer to complete tasks with his help!


Clara has decided that her normal uniform for the day includes any clothes I put on her, a tutu and her hard hat. When I ask where she is going to replies with an English accent, "to work!"

New Babies!

Well, I had my big anatomy ultrasound on Tuesday and the verdict is in...We are expecting a Boy and a Girl again! We are very excited and while everyone is commenting on how much money we are going to save on clothes because I have everything already, I have to remind them that I had Dallin and Clara in Utah in the dead of winter and these new babies are coming in May as I live in Carlsbad, NM! Very different climates!
I will post some pics later. We just got back from Silver City and are trying to get adjusted to home again. I am doing well, just a few restriction such as not lifting the babes and not working out like I want to, only 15-20 minute intervals and some light yoga. I guess the weight will start piling on now! Especially because as I type I am nursing a soda and potato chips (it is what sounded good!).

Recent happenings and a picture I swore I would never post!

Update: Dallin and Clara are doing great! They are growing leaps and bounds and talking nonstop. Most of which we cannot understand, but we are learning how to communicate.
I am feeling pretty much pregnant all the time and feel as big as a house. The new babies are doing great and next week I will post what we are expecting!
The picture below is for Alisa. I wouldn't have posted it without her requesting it. I don't know if there will be any future acquiesces to her demands!

We are 2 and other pictures I was too sick to post sooner!

Our twin cousins, Keenan and Kiaya at our birthday party!








Dallin and Clara turned 2 over the Thanksgiving break. We had a great time in Phoenix, AZ with the family and it was all about the baby dolls and power tools for the babes. I have also included some great pics of the kids from the past month as I have not felt good enough to do much of anything!

Halloween and more

Here are some pics from Halloween. I wasn't in charge of the camera and Daddy didn't take the time to take great pics (in his defense there was a lot going on at the Trunk-o-Treat party!).
The PJ pics are from this morning when they woke up at 6:30am and ran around the house! I hate time changes!

Not wanting to do anything

Okay...I just wanted to let everyone know why I haven't been blogging. I feel terrible all day everyday. This pregnancy has been very different. I am extremely tired and nauseated all the time. Please forgive me and I will try to post some pictures of the babes when I have the energy to get my camera out!
On another note, we are moving back to Carlsbad, NM next week. We should be there for a year.
