Happy Birthday to Wesley! The big 34
Braydon smiles a lot these days

This was taken on St. Patrick's Day. Notice the green


Kylee loves to rock the twins as she sings to them. It's amazing how they calm down so fast when she does this. They love their big sis!




Hiking with the Poulsens

I forgot to bring a hat for Brooklyn, so yes, she is wearing pants on her head--with a headband around it. It looked cute anyway.


Don't Keri and Dusty make a cute couple!


Kylee loves to pose for pictures. Can you tell?

We always have fun when Keri and Dusty come to visit. We went hiking above the "Dixie" in St.George. It was the twins first hike!









The hair and the toe

Conference weekend, Braydon had a potentially dangerous condition: He had one of my hairs wrapped around his little toe. Luckily Kylee noticed it, so we could get it removed. The hair had wound itself so tightly around his toe, that it was creating a turniquet around his toe. It was so swollen, that we couldn't get to the hair--it was too deep. We had to take Braydon to the ER. They said that they had seen this before, and babies had even lost toes, fingers, and other appendiges before. We were lucky that we noticed it in time. It was so weird! The pictures were taken about an hour after the doctor had removed the hair, and some of the swelling had gone down. Braydon's toe is back to normal now. This is just a work of caution to all you moms out there: check your kids toes for hairs--they can be dangerous!

My babies are growing so fast





I've been back to work for over 3 weeks now. It's not easy, but I'm managing. I take the twins with me to the daycare at my work. That means I get up at 4:15 or 4:30 am so I can leave my house by 5:30. I don't get much sleep these days.
Easter was fun. We had Wes' parents down to see us. They are so awesome. They really spoil us, especially Kylee. We love our family.
Brooklyn and Braydon are growing. Braydon is wearing 3-6 month clothes, and Brooklyn is starting too as well. Braydon is still a big eater. I think Brooklyn has acid reflux. They both are really good babies. The daycare workers always tell me how good they are (except they are always holding them, so no wonder they are good. ) I think they are spoiling my babies. It's harder to put them down these days because they are used to being held, or put in a bouncer.
Kylee is doing great in school, and she takes singing lessons once a week too. She goes to the after school program on days that I work. She loves all the fun games they play, and I love that they work on homework there!
Wes is doing well at work. He is such a good help to me. I love how hard he works. I know my expectations are high, and he really tries to make me happy! I love you honey.
