Lake Powell --(a month late in posting)

It rained really hard one day, and the waterfalls off the cliffs were beautiful. I loved the rainbow on this one. We are so grateful that my parents let us borrow their boat this trip. Thanks Mom and Dad! We love you guys.

Kylee is getting more adventureous. She loved going down the houseboat slide, waterskiing, knee boarding, and tubing this year. It was hard to get her out of the water.

It was a lot of work getting the twins in the water. By the time they had on all their sunscreen, swim diapers, swim shirts, life jackets, hats, etc. I was ready for their nap (and one for me too!)

We sure had a different experience at Lake Powell this year. With twins, everything is a new adventure. Braydon got 3 new teeth and pink eye(s) while we were there, and Brooklyn was getting over ear infections. Overall, they did pretty well, considering. We love going and spending a week with our family, but is sure does go by too fast every year.

4th of July at my parent's cabin.

The twins are so photogenic! 6 months old and growing fast.

Growing so fast

I think this was Mother's day weekend. I had a great mother's day!

Love this picture of Brooklyn smiling. She is so happy these days. It's so awesome! It really makes my day. It's hard to get them both to smile for the camera at the same time.

Kylee does pretty good on her bike now. We went for a long bike ride, and she kept up even with her asthma!

We took the twins out for their first bike ride. Braydon loved it, but Brooklyn cried every time we went over a bump in the road. She doesn't like loud noises either. Wes makes her cry all the time with his loud voice.

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.
