A trip down memory lane...

Two years after Duane and I were married, we were fortunate enough to become pregnant with twin boys. Unfortunately, they arrived 11 weeks early. We traveled an hour to the hospital only to be allowed to spend 15 minutes with the boys. Later it was extended to 30 minutes and then before they came home an hour. We were so happy the day they both were able to be home with us... happy and healthy. This is a picture of our sons just 9 days after they were born.

If the boys are crying and nothing will soothe them, they love to be put in this chair. The act like they're big boys.

I had a million loads of laundry to do today and Tyler would not let me get it done. He kept wanting mommy to hold him. Finally I just took a warm blanket and tossed it on him and this is the reaction I got! If the blanket got cool...we had to get another warm one. This is how I managed to get laundry done.

Brotherly love

A couple of nights ago I decided to put the babies in the crib without cushions to keep the apart. But I put one on one side and the other on the other side. Half way through the night Tyler started screaming bloody murder. Duane went to check on him and found that Taylor was cuddled up to Tyler asleep. Tyler was wacking him and screaming, but it didn't wake Taylor. Taylor just wanted to cuddle. As soon as dad moved Taylor away from Tyler, Tyler went straight back to sleep. I don't understand why Tyler loves to be cuddled by everyone but Taylor! But I guess this starts the whole "Mommy he's touching me!!!" phase.

We went to Grandma and Grandpa's house and spend a whole week with them. The first weekend was Easter and almost the whole family was together. We missed Ben. The next weekend we celebrated Duane and Darren's birthday. In between that, the boys and I went with Anna and her baby Jackson speed walking. The week went by so fast it's kinda all a blur. But it was a lot of fun and we can't wait to go back. We took lots of pictures...so enjoy!

This is Taylor, Jackson, and Tyler. We were wondering what it would be like to have triplets!

Happy Easter!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter! Here are some pictures of the boys.

Fun in the Park

This is Taylor hanging out in Kristin's big chair. He loved it so much he fell asleep.

So yesterday was the babies first day in the park. It was so warm and such a perfect day. I think the babies loved it.

We went with Kristin and Christian. Cyndi and her two kids met us there, and also a couple of girls from Kristin's neighborhood. We really had a great time.

We ended up having to feed all the babies there. You should have seen me passing off babies to feed. It always seems like a jugling act.

So last week was interesting. The babies and I were sick. Really sick. And Duane was gone the whole time at work and school. Lucky me. That was probably the only time I really felt stressed. I wanted to sleep and they couldn't sleep. Then we got over it. Well, Tyler decided to poop on me, him, my rug, and carpet. You wouldn't think that such a small person could hold so much poo. Then on Sunday we went to our friends', Kristin and Jared, to watch the general conference. The boys were so loud. I felt so bad because I know they prevented everyone from being able to pay much attention to the talks. And that was our week.



Duane hushing Tyler while he's playing his World of Warcraft game. The deal is that he has to take care of one baby while he plays.

My mom bought me a sewing machine! I thought Amber's hobby of sewing and monograming looked fun...so I'm going to try it.



So this is what I deal with on a daily basis. Thank goodness this time it was only spit up. Last time it was poo.
