4 Months

These silly sea lions are 4 months old! And this month as been an adventure!

The boys are talking, laughing and sleeping through the night mostly. Carters sleeps an average of 10 hours every night and Jameson sleeps an average of 7 hours. I stopped waking Carter up to eat with Jameson and ever since he has slept a solid 10+ hours every night. Now if only we can get Jameson to do the same.


We spent a Saturday afternoon enjoying the sunshine at Spring Lake. The boys had fun watching the ducks and walking around the pond.

Eric came home from Delaware and starting teasing the boys like usual. They like playing with him until he makes them cry. 

The boys were able to meet their cousin Gracie for the first time! They love her and she is always so helpful when it comes to feeding and taking care of them.

They were also able to meet their Uncle Scott for the first time! Carter now has the nick name "Carter Farter" thanks to Scott. 

The biggest victory this month was taking the boys camping in Bear Lake for 3 days. I was excited and dreading this trip all at the same time. Sleeping in a tent for 2 nights with 2 babies. Two babies that get really ornery when they are tired or hungry or if you look at them the wrong way. But it turned out perfect!  They slept great and did so well in the cold and wind. The boys are now "camping boys" as my dad likes to call them.

                                                 The boys snug and warm ready for bed.

                                                          All the cousins together

                                                                 The Camping Boys

We were able to get some family photos taken. They turned out so cute! And the boys did really good!

Matt and I laugh because Carter (left) likes to use his eye brows when he talks. And sometimes it looks like we penciled his eye brows in.

                                                           

Month 4 has been really great for us! I love how much fun they are getting. And to end the blog post with a goofy Jameson face. 

3 Months

                                                    These hungry hippos are 3 months old! 

 We blessed the boys this month. It was such a special day for us. Matt did a wonderful blessing for both of them and the spirit was so strong! Contrary to popular belief that is not a doll I am holding in my arms, its a real baby.

They looked so handsome in their little suits! 

And they didn't cry during the blessing, so that was a major twin win for us! 

 This month the boys were able to travel the world with out even leaving the house!

Mike and Brianne brought back these adorable sweaters and hats from Peru. I can't get over the adorableness! 

The boys next stop on their travels around the world was China. Callie brought back the coolest Panda hats from China! These hats are big enough to last the boys a few years. I love it!

The next stop on the travels is Provo, UT circa 1980's. My mom gave me some old baby clothes from when my brothers were babies. The first was a little blue velvet suit. 

And the second is the little blue jumper thing. 

The vest looks more like a belly shirt on a fat guy on Jameson, but he still looks adorable.

The last stop on their travels around the world is Fiji. My bff Jessca brought some crazy cats from Fiji.

Sometimes I like to dress the boys the same and then make them pose for a dozen pictures. 

We went to the Spanish Fork Fiesta Days and had to get a picture of Carter's own store! We also enjoyed lots of stares and crazy looks when people realized we had not one, but TWO babies. We're finding that twins are a novelty and people really enjoy engaging us in 20 minute long conversations about someone they know that has twins. 

The boys are getting more interactive and are becoming really fun to play with. Matt loves to tease and play with the boys. I found Matt doing this to Jameson right before bed. 

We tried out swimming for the first time. Jameson loved it and kicked around the pool. Carter just liked to sit in the water, but did not want to lay down. 

My favorite pictures are the mid-sneeze faces. 

Jameson just doing the backstroke.

Sweet little Carter with his big eyes.  

Jameson has discovered his toes. It's pretty hilarious when he just stares at his toes. And its even more hilarious when he is naked and has man boobs. 

In preparation for our Bear Lake trip next month we decided to go up the canyon and have a fire. Mom and Dad Kirk came along and enjoyed the fire with us.  The boys did so good! They loved to just stare at the fire. We're hoping the Bear Lake trip is just as successful. 

I feel like I have to end every blog post with a goofy picture of Jameson. So here's this month's. 

2 Months

These busy beavers are 2 months old! We've had an amazing month! 

The boys were able to meet their Aunt and Uncle Adam and Alissa! We had so much fun with them! The boys favorite place was sleeping in Adam's arms.

While Adam and Alissa were here the Kirk fam spent the day in Park City. Matt and I went on the Alpine Slide and the Alpine Coaster while the boys played with Grandma.

We had to document Grandpa Kirk's first time changing the boy's diapers. And Matt had to take Jameson on his first ride down the slide.

We celebrated Matt's first Father's Day! I made Matt and the boys matching flannel shirts. They looked like manly men for sure! 

Matt with his boys! Love this picture, and I especially love Jameson's face. Classic Jameson.

The Kirk's so generously offered to let us take their four wheelers for an afternoon while they watched the boys. We took them up to the top of West Mountain. It was such a pretty day with amazing views of Utah lake. Matt drove like a maniac and I drove like an old grandma. It was a lot of fun!

This month the boys started smiling! It is the most adorable thing! Grandpa Johansen got Jameson to smile really big for the first time when he was talking to him about fishing, so every time we want Jameson to smile we start talking about fishing. Carter likes to save his smiles for the elite.

The boys have  been rooting for Brazil to win the world cup! They love watching the games... or maybe this picture shows their real feelings.

We took the boys to church for the first time. We were on time, which was amazing. Then it went downhill from there. They fussed all through Sacrament meeting, and that was the only meeting they could handle. Next week we'll try for Sunday School too.

They are mastering the bumbo. 

Just a couple of cool cats in wolf cut off tank tops. 

And to end with my favorite picture of Jameson. That boy is full of goofy faces.

                                                 

Can't wait to see what next month brings!
