Babies Blessings

We made a very quick trip to Sandy this weekend for the twins baby blessings. Everything went great, and we loved seeing so many family and friends. I wished we could have stayed longer, but Wes had to get back to work. We are very thankful for his job so we are not complaining!

Lots of photos

During this photo shoot, Braydon was screaming and crying. If we have more pictures of Brooklyn, it's because she was cooporating. Babies just don't know how to pose yet. They also were so interested in what was going on, that they wouldn't go to sleep. They love bright lights, so I think all the flash photography just excited them.

Braydon's smile

It's so hard to capture a picture of them smiling. Here is a little smile from Braydon.

Photos I Love

My friend from work took these pictures as a gift to me. Even though she's just beginning in photography, I think she did a great job. She spent many hours at my house trying to pose the babies, and wait for them to be calm. She is way more patient than I am. I'll post some of my favorites. There were so many good ones, it's so hard to pick just a few.

Thanks Miranda!

I can never get enough pictures of my babies!!!!

Brooklyn

I think I have more pictures of Braydon posted, so I need to post another of Brooklyn. She is such a sweetheart. She is just barely big enough to fit in the Bumbo. She likes to be sitting up, and she loves it when I sing to her. Today, while I was giving her brother his bath, she started crying for some attention. When I started singing to her, she calmed right down and waited for me to finish Braydon's bath. People ask me if it's harder having twins, and this is an example of a time when yes, it is harder. One twin has to be patient while the other twin gets the attention. For the most part, I try to keep them on a good schedule doing everything together. With twins, it just takes longer to accomplish that schedule.

Sick Babies

So we are still fighting sickness at our house. I'm hoping the twins are almost done with this cold. It's exhausting waking-up even more than normal, and suctioning secretions. I can tell that the twins are even extra tired. It's hard to see my cute little babes sick. They also have really goopy eyes. Poor babies! I decided to document how bad their eyes are. In this picture above, Braydon's eye boogers are less than an hour old (I had just cleaned his eyes 45 minutes prior). Also, notice the how red Braydon's eyelids are from cleaning them. Sorry buddy.

Happy Valentines

I know this post is a little late, but we had a great Valentine's day at our house. Keri and Dusty and their boys were here for a baseball tournament, and they babysat our kiddos so Wes and I could go on a date. we went to see Avatar. We loved the movie, but I loved the time out even better. I love my babies, but I sometimes feel a little attached--literally. Wes bought Kylee and I roses this year. Kylee and I took these pictures to remember how pretty the flowers were.

THanks honey!
