Twins 5th Birthday


Carter and Jameson are 5! I can't believe my first borns are 5! They are such sweet, good good boys! 


We had a pancake breakfast that they decided after I made the pancakes that they wanted cereal instead. 


We went out to lunch the date before with Matt up in SLC. We had fun playing on the indoor dino playground and walking around temple square. The weather was perfect. 

Had to make sure to get our weekly picture update. haha. 

The twins had a big Fiesta birthday bash! 



Notice Hutch in the background. haha. 




They had a pinata and played games and got more presents than they knew what to do with. They were very spoiled and had such a fun day! 


We are so lucky to have these boys in our lives! Here are some of my favorite pictures of them from the last 5 years 

Just hours old!

5th Birthday 

Can't wait to see how much they will change next year! 

Will 9 Months



Will is 9 months! He is 18lbs (35th percentile) and 26 inches (1st percentile) with a big head in the 40th percentile. He is just a short fat kid with a big head. And we love him all so much! 


Will didn't have to get shots at the doctor, but had to get a toe prick. He did so good and didn't fuss at all. His brothers were so worried for him. haha. 


This month Will got teeth! 2 teeth on the bottom. He likes to stick tongue out and feel his teeth. It's the cutest thing. 


He is LOVING food now. Aunt Wendi gave him his first taste of watermelon and he loved it. He pretty much will eat anything he can now. 



The Dr gave us permission to start him on milk in the next month or two.  Hallelujah! It will be so nice not to spend money on formula anymore.  


Will still sleeps pretty good. He woke up a few times a week this month wanting a bottle. The Dr gave us permission to ignore him, haha. His brothers love to come wake him up in the mornings and snuggle with him. 

We've had such a busy month!



The twins + Hutch slept over at cousins house, so Will got some one-on-one time with us! We went on a fun hike up American Fork canyon. The views were incredible. Will did so good on the hike! 


They were the coolest hiking guys on the trail. 



We went to the Discovery Gateway Children's museum and had a fun day playing with cousins and meeting Daniel Tiger! The twins thought it was so cool meeting Daniel Tiger. Not pictured is Hutch screaming in the background terrified out of his mind of Daniel Tiger. haha. 


The cousins loved playing together! 


Will liked chewing on the chickens. 


First time taking all 4 kids to Costco.... we were a walking spectacle. Several people stopped to ask if all these kids were mine, how far apart they were, to tell me that Will would make a really cute girl (??) and to tell me stories all about their grandkids/neighbors/friends that had kids close together. 

  

The weather was warm for a few days  and we enjoyed it to the fullest! If the sun was out, so  was the hose. The boys would say they wouldn't get wet, and then 10 mins later all 3 would be soaked. 


We've loved playing out on the tramp in the evenings. Matt mostly plays with them, because I will pee my pants if I jump for too long. 


But then Matt started a game where he lays in the middle and the kids all run around him. That's my favorite game now. haha. Notice Hutch's legs in this picture. He thought it was hilarious to jump on us right as we were taking the picture. Typical Hutch. 



Speaking of Hutch, he is just one of the big boys. And if you try and tell him otherwise he will knife you, or club you with a bat (real life scenario).  He's grown up a lot the last few months and keeps up with the big boys.


Don't be fooled by that cute chocolate covered face. He is still a big stinker that is going to make me need hearing aids by the time I'm 30. That kid can scream (and club you with a bat) when he's mad. (Who's idea was it to give him a miniature bat just his size?! (Looking at you Grandma J))


Matt hung up a hammock in the back and the genius Dad that he is has created a game where he lays in it and the kids push him back and forth. haha. 


Matt took the twins and Hutch out on an ice cream date. They thought that was so fun! 


The twins  were learning about bugs in preschool and made bug hats. They were so excited to put them on and scare Dad when he got home. 


Dad and Hutch went on a one-on-one date to go swimming. Matt says Hutch was wild in the water and loved it! 



Easter 2019

We had a really good Easter.  The boys went to several Easter egg hunts in the week before Easter and got the ultimate loot of candy. 



They were so cute all dressed up in their Sunday best. 





I have the most handsome men in my life! Such good looking boys! 



2017 vs 2019. 2 year difference and 2 kids later. Whew, I'm tired. 

We have a really busy summer coming up with some really fun trips! We are heading to the beach, it will be Will and Hutch's first time! 


Bring on the Summer fun!
