My Week

It's been a busy week in this twin household. The babies have been hard to please lately. They haven't been able to be awake and content. As soon as they wake up they are screaming for food and as soon as I'm done feeding they are screaming for seconds and they eat until they are passed out again. In the meantime, as soon as the babies start crying Hogan will look for trouble. As I try to calm two crying babies I'm also yelling at Hogan to stop doing whatever it is he's doing. I look and sound like a crazy lady this week. The good news is they are doing amazing at night. They wake to eat and fall right back asleep. Here's hoping to a better week next week!

As I write this Jack is screaming in my ear...gotta run!

Happy Birthday Daddy!!

Today is Jared's 31st Birthday! We have picture perfect weather to celebrate. We're going to bbq tonight (gouda burgers with sweet potato fries) and then enjoy some sweet cupcakes (thanks betty crocker)! Carter was also a great help with baking today. He was being fussy so I put him in the front pack and he has been with me as I've baked, done dishes, wrapped presents, etc. He just doesn't want to miss out on the fun. Below is a picture taken last weekend of Jared with his little boys. I love how they are both looking directly into his eyes.

The Week Summer Arrived

We have been enjoying amazing summer-like weather this week! I've had the windows open at home letting the warm breeze make its way through our home. I've also brought the boys and the dog out on a walk everyday--it feels great to get them out and to get a little exercise myself. I know it won't last so I'm trying to get outside at every free moment. It's crazy how nice weather makes you happier. I don't feel as tired or worn down this week. Thanks warm sunshine!

XOXO

My jogging stroller, which I absolutely love! The sun canopies come down nice and low to block the sun from their face, it rides nice both on the road and off road, it works well with a dog walking beside me, and it's hunter orange!

A Grandparent's Love

As a Mom I know how much I love my children. I only wonder what it would be like to love my child's baby. Our boys are surrounded by loving, adoring grandparents and that fills my heart. Growing up I loved spending time with my grandparents. My grandparents always made me feel comforted and loved. I know our boys will get those same feelings from their grandma's and grandpa's.

No Words Necessary

We love and miss you Grammy Gwen and Auntie Jana.

My Mom's Mom

My grandmother stopped in to meet the boys the other day. It was so nice to see both boys snuggled right into her arms. My grandmother is such an amazing woman with the biggest heart of anyone I know. These arms have held so many children including my mom, me, my siblings and now my sons.

O'er the River and Through the Woods...

We have been loving our week at Grammy and Papa's house. The boys get spoiled and so does Mom! We've had lots of visitors so the boys are loving being held all day. I think we'll be making this trip often :-)

Carter (R) and his cousin Josiah meeting for the first time. You can see that they were really interested in each other ;-)

And on the other end of the couch is Carter, snoozing away.

I love my family!
