4 months!

Avery and Isabella are 4 1/2 months! Little Avery is not so little anymore, she passed Isabella!

Avery weighs 12 lbs 1 oz and is 24.5 inches long! She still has a giant head. Her head is in the 75th percentile and her weight is only in the 17th!

Isabella weighs 12lbs and is 24 inches long! They are just about caught up to average sized babies which makes me oh so happy! They healthy, happy, and beautiful!





Hawaii!!!

We went to Hawaii for Thanksgiving this year and boy was it fun!

We did a lot of this....


and a lot of this...
I don't have a lot to say about the trip. It was relaxing and great to have so much help with the girls!

The girls were great on the flight. The connecting flight from Honolulu to Kauai was not as pleasant, but luckily it's a 20 minute flight...

Beautiful view from our hotel room.
Uncle Devin with Avery and Dallin with Isabella. I love that Avery is checking out her sister!

Classic Isabella face!

...and classic Avery.
Dallin with his girls!
Avery loves being a mermaid....Oh the things parents do to their kids...

Mommy Mode

People ask me all the time, "How is life with twins?" Motherhood is motherhood no matter how many kids you have. You start doing things that probably make you look a little crazy. I was telling my sister about some of the odd habits I have picked up and she thought they were much funnier than I did and told me I should blog about it. So, Rachel, this is for you.

This conversation happened during Sacrament Meeting while both girls were sleeping.
Dallin: "I'm tired."
Me: "We'll get you home, feed you, and put you to bed."

No, I was not trying to be comical and as soon as I said it I realized what I said and Dallin and I both had a terrible case of the giggles during Sacrament Meeting.

I'm so used to holding a baby in my arms and every once in a while leaning over to give her a kiss on the head that I've started kissing anything in my hands. I've kissed straws, forks, bottles...etc. Dallin finds this very entertaining and keeps a tally of everything that I've kissed subconsciously.

Am I completely crazy?

Thug Babies!

The girls all bundled up for a walk. Don't they look like little thugs? Although, I don't think thugs come even close to being this cute.



I ran upstairs to grab my shoes and when I can back down poor little Avery was blinded.

Avery does smile...I promise!

After reading the last couple posts, I realized I made poor Avery look like Scrooge! She is a very happy baby and smiles all the time, she is just a little camera shy. I did however manage to catch one of her beautiful smiles!

Today is looking good!

So far today I have: fed the girls, bathed the girls, played with the girls, put the girls down for a nap, exercised, showered, did my hair (!), put on makeup (!!), picked out an actual outfit (not sweatpants), and even put on earings all before noon! I actually feel like a human being!
