More still...

We went to Bear Lake with my family for a week and rented a cabin and all stayed together in it. It was a lot of fun. I actually took my camera, but I didn't get very many pictures at all. I am so mad at myself cuz we really had a good time too! These pictures were all taken with Jeremy's phone so the bottom 2 are pretty fuzzy, but I really wanted to remember how bad of a sunburn Birkli got. It was the weirdest sunburn I have ever seen! It was like she was a raccoon but opposite cuz she had red circles around her eyes instead of white, I'm still not really sure how that happened. I sprayed her back a couple of times and yet she still got burned, she wasn't too thrilled with it and I felt bad for her but there wasn't much I could do.


Eating a yummy raspberry shake! Can't go to Bear Lake with out getting one of those (or 2 or 3;) )!


Jeremy took Birkli fishing. He has taken her several times, but she has yet to catch a fish. I think she is starting to think that you don't actually catch fish when you go fishing, you just stick your pole in the water and sit there. :)


I now realize why everyone thought I had one boy and one girl with the twins! He does kind of look like a girl with that hair! I'm glad we finally cut it.

More Odds and Ends

Birkli started Kindergarten and she absolutely loves it. This picture was actually taken after she got home because we were were running late (of course) and didn't have time to take pictures before school. I do have some pictures of her at the school, but they are on my phone since I forgot to take the camera with me (of course) and I haven't gotten them off yet. I think her favorite parts of Kindergarten are riding riding the bus, eating breakfast at the school, and recess.:) She seems to be doing well though so I won't worry yet.



The boys FINALLY started eating solids good! I feel like we fed them solids for a really long time before they actually started to eat it. It just kept coming back out at us for the longest time!


I took the kids up to Island Park to my uncles cabin a couple of times this summer, I think this was the 2nd time. We love to go feed the fish at Big Springs when we go. I had to post a picture of me cuz I'm really not in pictures much since I am the one usually behind the camera.


Birkli and two of her cousins being goofy at Big Springs.


Jeremy took Cooper on a drive all by himself and I think he was thrilled to get all of his dads attention without having to compete with one of the other kids. It was a nice break for me because that kid can sure test my patience these days. ;)

Odds and Ends

I am horrible at blogging. Here are a few things that we have been up to in no particular order (there are too many things to try and make sure they are in order).

We attempted to take the babies pictures for their 7 month milestone (yeah, so we were a month late getting the 6th month milestone...big deal...;)). I thought this one was kind of funny because it looks like Weston pushed Miles over, but really Miles just isn't too good at sitting on his own yet, so that is just his way of sitting.


Jeremy went up in the Copper Basin area to hunt for a long weekend all by himself. We missed him terribly, but he had a fun time and got some nice alone time which I think he enjoyed.


The babies are getting more and more fun. They are starting to be more aware of each other and others around them and always have us laughing at them.


Jeremy's friend entered the demolition derby for Shelley Spud Days with another friends car. Jeremy got to go be in the pit crew and loved it. I'm sure he would like it more if he was actually the one driving the car though.


We took the kids to the fair and this is one of the rides that they went on. It was taken with Jeremy's phone so it isn't the best picture, but for some reason we can't ever seem to remember our camera when we go places.

It was just time....

Weston has such a cute little face, but the hair was starting to get a little out of control so we decided it was time for a hair cut. He didn't seem to mind it at first when he was in the high chair, but then when we took him out to get to the back of his head he sure didn't like it one bit! It was a team effort and it wasn't fun with a screaming baby, but we got the job done. I'm sure it would not pass the inspection of a professional, but it looked better in our eyes anyway.

After:




And what was Miles doing while his brother was being tortured -er I mean getting his hair cut?

Being photographed over and over by his favorite sister of course. I seriously have about 20 pictures of pretty much this exact picture. She gets a little camera happy. ;)

Cooper was next for a hair cut, and as you can see he didn't like it any more than Weston did! Haha!


Well, that was 2 months ago and now it is time for another haircut for Weston. I have been putting it off cuz it is so not fun, but it really needs done. Although, pulling up those pictures to put on here and seeing how long it really was makes me think we should be able to go for quite a while still cuz he hair isn't even half that long right now! If I could let it get that long once, why not again huh? ;)

My girl

Birkli is such a good helper to me with the babies. She is usually willing to help console one of them if he is crying and I am busy with the other one, she gets me wipes, diapers, binkis, burp cloths, etc. I am glad that she is so willing to help most of the time because it really is a lifesaver to me. She isn't always willing to help, especially if she is watching a tv show that she is really into or something, but for the most part she is pretty good.




Both of these pictures are of her helping Miles, she seems to help him the most, she always tells me that he likes her. She does help with Weston too, I just don't seem to have any pictures of her with him that I could find right off, plus he is a little crankier when he is cranky and she isn't able to soothe him as well so she doesn't do it as often. She really is a good big sister though and I'm glad that she seems to love all of her little brothers so much and I hope she continues to be a big helper to me and to them.

Blessings

We blessed our babies on Mother's Day and it was such a neat experience. I've never been to a blessing for twins before so that was kind of fun. Every single person in my family was there except for one brother-in-law so that was kind of neat to have them all there. Jeremy's mom came and two of his brothers and their families were there as well. We were thankful for a mostly nice day so that we could eat our lunch outside afterward since there just isn't enough room in my house for that many people. It was bittersweet though, to know that I won't be having any more sweet babies to have blessed. I just have to savor every little tiny moment with these two cuz I won't be having any more of these "firsts" moments.





Sorry for the poor quality photos. Another reason I hadn't posted about this yet is cuz my brother had taken some pictures with his fancy shmancy camera and I was going to wait until I saw those to post and use them instead, but since he is now the bishop in his ward, I'm thinking it will be a while before I see those pictures so this is what you get. ;)

Better pictures

Here are some better pictures of Coopers spots that he had. He looked pretty miserable for about a week. I am so glad they are all gone, I was kind of afraid that they might never go away and that he would look like that forever!
