Goobers

I can't believe I got a pic of both of them looking!! It rarely happens. These two are so busy and only Ash is walking. I seriously don't know what we are going to do when they are both walking. Ashlyn gets a new bonk every 15 min!! Brielle is a speedster of a crawler though. Especially when you open the fridge or any door. Watch out! They are on the loose!

Total goofs, Ethan and Anna, having fun swimming at the Legacy Center.

Love these goobers. Lydia had a field trip bowling for her preschool so I let Ethan miss the morning so he could go with us, then we ate at McDonalds for lunch. Lots of fun. I am so happy Gma Sweeten can hold down the fort with the twins and always manages to squeeze in some laundry and tidying up around here. So very grateful.

I just love Ethans face here. He is full of all sorts of faces for the camera these days. Lydia just loves him! He told me today that they are Best Friends. Nothing makes a momma happier! They are my little buddies.

The Sisters!!

Ashlyn and Brielle, "the sisters" (formerly known as "the tinies"!!)

Brielle digging into Ashlyns cake! Skye Johansen took these wonderful pictures and I was so excited to have a few to display on the tables for their 1st year party!

LOVE IT! Can you tell which sister is the messy eater?!! When I do laundry, I can ALWAYS tell which shirt was Ash's and which was Belle's.

Seriously, I LOVE IT! Can't get enough of their feet, chunky legs and little bums! More to come!

Update

Holy smokes! I can't believe how much time I spend on the computer these days. I am taking a Technology in Education class. I am learning so much. It is a 15 week class crammed into 7 weeks. Luckily I will still get to enjoy 2 months of summer with the kiddos. If you want to check out my web page I am making (I know right!!) for when I am a teacher, you can check it out here.

Other than that, the kids are doing good. Lydia just had her preschool graduation, (which she was sick for) and Ethan will be done with first grade at the end of the month. I can't say enough about their GREAT teachers. The twins will turn one on Tuesday. In a way it has gone by fast, and on the other hand, it hasn't gone fast enough! I am down to breastfeeding them just in the morning and night and hope to be done altogether in the next few weeks.

Jared is definitely my ROCK. He can pretty much do anything and everything that I can do. I appreciate all that he does for me and the kids.

Arrg Matey!

During Spring Break we went to Pirate Island. My mom does the Story Time there and she kinda thinks she is a real pirate. Sshhh. Don't tell her she's not!


Elijah with his monkey and Ethan with his parrot!


Me with Brielle and Katie with Ashlyn. Ya, I'm glad we did it once, because I don't plan on taking the twins anywhere in public for a LOOOOng time!

The Canyons

This was Ethans first time skiiing. Jared has always wanted to take him but the timing is never right! Needless to say, he LoVeD it!

Katie, Nixon, Ethan, and Jared. What a perfect day to ski.

Nix and E Dawg. What studs.

Love the background of the mountains and pine trees, and especially love those boys! Wish I could have gone. Oh well, ...always next year!

Easter Fun

Here we are in Granny and Grandpa Eyre's backyard. Even though it was a cold Easter, the kids still played out in the cottage and had fun finding eggs.

And he's off!

Lydia the cheeser.
