We're probably doing it wrong.
Just as this past Halloween and Christmas felt like the boys' first 'real' holidays, this Easter was the best one yet. They were so excited about the Easter Bunny coming to visit, and doing some egg hunts. We attended a group Easter egg hunt and brunch at a golf course. They were psyched for the... Continue Reading →
Each new holiday that we have with our boys becomes more and more fun. They're two years old, almost three. This year is the first time they understood Halloween. Through October, we all pointed out jack-o-lanterns and pumpkins in people's yards, we visited a pumpkin patch (but didn't have time to get a pumpkin) (I... Continue Reading →
Once again we had an epic family Fourth of July! We started off with our traditional holiday photo: So last year, we picked cherries and then went to Timberline. The year before, we went to Timberline and then on a little hike to waterfall. This year, we did all three! We started out by picking... Continue Reading →
Early April was a busy time! First Andy went on a short work trip, and my mom came down to visit and help out. That weekend was Easter, and we took a trip to see the Easter bunny on Saturday. (Since it was the day before, there was no line! We also hit up the... Continue Reading →
We have had a wonderful two weeks of vacation for Christmas!

Every month and every holiday, I take "official" photos of the babies. As they get older, it's only gotten more difficult. I imagine that there are babies out there who sit still and play with props, but I don't have any of those anymore. Both of these babies do not want to sit still, and... Continue Reading →
Tons of photos - no words really necessary. 🙂 Â
December has been a busy month! We got our tree on the 8th, put lights on it on the 10th, and finally got some ornaments (and living room lights) up on the 21st. Oops. (We also got some larger outdoor strands for the front of our house...those are still in their boxes.) Pictures with Santa... Continue Reading →
At first we weren't going to do anything for the twins' first birthday. See, we still don't know that many people here, and their birthday falls near Thanksgiving, when a lot of people leave town, plus I didn't want to plan a "thing" or even have an official "to-do." Plus of course, the babies don't... Continue Reading →
Last Thanksgiving kind of didn't exist for us. The babies were born the day before, so our second day all together was still a hospital blur of pain medication, the tedious process of feeding babies every few hours, and being stupid with exhaustion. I don't think I even got a shower until the third day.... Continue Reading →
We Have Twins?!
