Christmas 2007

Here are some pictures from Christmas. I literally had a moment, I'm still typing one handed with one baby asleep in the other arm. So this is all I can post right now. Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!

The girls are finally here!

Lily Nicole and Sophia Ann where born on November 13, 2007. I had no idea I would receive such a wonderful gift on my birthday. Lily is the bigger one on the right with all the hair. She was born at 7:30pm, weighing 5lb 8oz and measuring 17 1/2 inches long. Sophia came after her big sister at 7:44pm weighing 4lb 9oz and measuring 18 inches long. They both did very well for only being 36 weeks gestation. Lily had a little bit of a rough start. She spent three days in the NICU recovering from the birth. We feel so blessed to have had two beautiful healthy girls with minimal complications. We came home from the hospital on Thursday with Sophie and were able to go back the next day and pick up Lily. Sophie really missed her sister that first night home. They love to be next to each other as you can see.

Picking Pumpkins

Last week we took Mckinley to Thanksgiving Point to pick out a pumpkin. He picked out a little one that was just his size. He carried that pumpkin around for several days. He even slept with it! Right now I need to figure out were it's gone to. It could be under his bed somewhere? I guess we'll know when we start smelling rotting pumpkin.

Baby Fat

I sat here debating on whether or not I wanted to post this picture of me. I know that I'm pregnant with twins, but it still is difficult to see myself in the mirror sometimes, literally. I'm braving through my insecurities and posting this picture so everyone can see that there are truly two babies in there. So enjoy this picture!

Adventures in Utah

This is our Mckinley with his friend Mckinley. Your not crazy they have the same name.


We are having so much fun living in Utah and being close to family and friends. We went to the Utah State Fair with our friends McKinley and Andrea Oswald and their two kids. The kids were so excited to ride the ponies. Our Mckinley kept patting his pony and saying, "your my best friend."


I actually did a Halloween craft project with Mack. We painted some wood Halloween cut outs and hung them in his room. I was pretty impressed with myself, and as you can see so was Mack.



This is us at the Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving Point. We took Mckinley there one rainy Saturday afternoon. We tried to go to the zoo, but decided this was a better option considering the weather.


Last but not least Mckinley looking quite sharp for Sunday. I don't know how the little girls in nursery can stand it! I mean he dresses so sophisticated for his age.

Mckinley's Birthday!

The day we moved was also Mckinley's 3rd birthday. So, after we packed and cleaned the house we headed over to Russ and Emily Carilson's house to spend the night and celebrate Mckinley's birthday. We were so tired, but knew it might help Mckinley with all the new transition. That night he kept asking Bryan and I if we could go home to our house. It broke my heart. Fortunately the next morning his real concern was for his superman action figure and spiderman backpack he had received for his birthday.
