Catching UP!

Tommy on his baby blessing day. His collar was too high! But he looked so handsome in all white.

Emmy on her baby blessing day. She wore a beautiful white silk dress sewed by my friend Nikki's mother, Jean. I loved it on her. She looked like a princess. Erica made her bracelet for her.

Tommy looking so cute I could eat him up! And I do!!

Emmy doll. This was a month ago I think, and she has changed so much since then!

Family photo on the day of Tommy and Emmy's baby blessing. We had lots of family that came. I had 2 aunts and uncles, several cousins, my parents, 2 sisters and a brother-in-law, and all of Mike's family. There were 2 aunts and uncles from Mike's family there too. His sister Jennie hosted the lunch afterward. We had soups, sandwiches, fruit and pies. It was great!

I am laughing about the way Bryant is holding Tommy's head and the expression on Tommy's face! It's priceless! I've said so many times, if these babies survive their 6 year old brother, they'll survive anything! Bryant dearly loves them.

Halloween day!! They wore their "babies first halloween shirts." I still have to post pics of Erica and Bryant in their costumes! Bryant was Luke Skywalker and Erica was an Indian girl.

Here's Bryant on crazy hair day for school! He had a mow hawk along with many other boys at school. He came home and said that the girls hair didn't look crazy, just pretty. He has also recently informed me that he is in love with Kimberly in his class and he is going to marry her some day!

Crazy hair day again! Poor Erica scabbed her nose on her friends trampoline!

They look soooooo grown up to me!!

Here is my mom on baby blessing day, holding Emmy.

Emmy and Tommy on the day of their baby blessing.

OK, so this is not such a great picture. Bryant thinks it's hilarious! Sometimes twins have to endure each other!

The lighting on this one is bad, but it was too cute to not post. These are the men in my life that I love love LOVE!!!!

Twins 2 months

Here they are at about 2 months old. They look huge to me! I think Emmy looks like Mike's baby pics and Tommy looks like my brothers. Poor Tommy's got the good ole' baby acne going on. I told Mike he's got to fix that!

This is my oldest sister Tamara. She is 8 years older than me but she looks so young! She is beautiful and she holds her age very well. Her husband was in UT on business so she came up with him and spent the day with me. We had a great, memorable day together. She has five kids so it was like heaven to just hang out with her with no distractions!

Here is Erica with her best friend Clara. It's babies feeding babies!

Twins at 1 month old

This is on their one month old birthday. They LOVE each other!

Bryant can't get enough of these babies!

People always ask me how I feed them at the same time. Well here it is folks!

Here's my favorite chair in the house. We have the same one in the nursery as well and I couldn't do this without it! I love holding them like this at the same time. It's my favorite!.

When they are eating they often hold hands like this or at least have a hand on each other. It's SO cute!

They don't even fit in these outfits anymore! Their faces are getting so fat! And the hair?!! I keep wondering when gravity is going to take over!

You can really see how much hair they have here and how red Emmy's is!

Tommy

Emmy

Here they are as best pals again! You can really see it in this picture that Emmy outweighs Tommy by a little over half a pound.

The hospital where the babies were born gave Bryant and Erica these cute t-shirts! I think Bryant looks so proud here.

Look how Tommy curls up! We say he could curl up in a ball like a potato bug.

Sorry about the red-eye Mike. This picture is just too cute. Mike helps me feed them and change them all the time. He is loving this almost as much as I am!

1st Day of School for Erica & Bryant

This is on Bryant's first day of Kindergarten and Erica's second week of 2nd grade! Bryant loves being at Erica's school. He still makes her walk him to his classroom door every day, even though he knows very well where it is!

She loves the Utah Utes!

Bryant's backpack is Cars 2. I think he's pretty excited about it, what do you think?!

More newborn pictures

Here we are with Kim, just before we left the hospital. We were only there for a day and a half. It was fast, but truthfully, I am always grateful to be leaving a hospital. Look at Kim the day after c-section, she's a champ!!!

Look how fast their faces change from one day old, above, to two days old below!

Here they are in the hotel crib together. I LOVE this picture. They are soooo tiny!!! And the hat stage is already over for them. They both get very upset if I try to put a hat on them so no more hats!

This is our wonderful niece Reagan who flew all the way to OH to help me for a week before we flew home with the babies. Mike had been with me in OH the week before they were born and a couple days after they arrived he flew home to get back to work! We had the best week together before their birth, it was a TRUE vacation with nothing to do but hang out and be lazy. We loved it! Reagan was a lot of fun to be with as well and super helpful. Thank you Reagan!!!!

This is not a great picture. But, it's Bryant's favorite. We have our pictures coming up on our screen saver and Bryant always arrows back to this one and looks at it forever. He thinks it's so funny that Emmy is pushing Tommy!

Emmy - SO TINY!

Tommy looking like he's modeling!

I love this picture and could stare at it all day. It's the sweetest thing.

Grammy J! This is Mike's Mom, Jane, holding the babies. She has come over numerous times to help, thank you Jane!!! I'm not sure why but I can't find the pictures of my parents and sister on my computer. I'll have to do a little more hunting. It doesn't make sense though, because all pictures go in the same file. My parents and sister Julie came and stayed with us for a week and helped with the babies. We had a great time and we were so grateful for their help! Mom made sure we all ate healthy, delicious food!
