Heritage Center

We went to the Heritage Center in Logan with my sister and her family and my parents. We went last year with my parents and we had to go back! We for sure want to make this a tradition every year. It is a blast. The kids loved it!
Cute Cousins!

Baby Quincy going along for the ride.

We got to look at anilmals.

There was a hay jump the kids loved.

Riding the horse carriage.


Our favorite part was this really fast slippery slide!


Mandy and I even went down. Boy are we brave! ;) We also got very lost in a corn maze. We were too inpatient to figure out how to get out. We finally made our way right back out the in! What a fun night. I have the best family ever!!!

Pictures

We just got pictures of the kids taken and it was a NIGHTMARE! Brayden cried everytime we would try to take them and Quincy was very fussy as well. We actually had to go back and re-do hers because none of them turned out. Colby and Carter have the cutest smiles and they kept doing these silly fake smiles! Oh the memories! ha ha Suprisingly we got some good pictures!
She doesn't smile yet so I don't know how they captured this one! So sweet!
Love my angel!

I love how Brayden's pictures turned out. We started throwing a football with him and thats when he started laughing and not crying!
Carter

Colby

Cutest twin boys ever!!

We had the cutest black dress with a pink flower on it. We found pink ties to match and none of those pictures turned out. This was the best we got!

Andy put some of the pictures together on the computer so it looked like they were together. I thought he did pretty good!

"Mess"

Brayden is my little stinker lately! He is a tornado! He gets into EVERYTHING!! Especially when I am nursing the baby. Good thing he's cute! He also hates messes. If something is a mess he can't stand it. He looks at it and says "mess." ha ha  The second he makes a mess he wants to clean it up. Here he is on my kitchen table. He threw the apples and oranges out of my fruit bowl and dumped a whole box of cheerios out! Gotta love almost two year olds! :)
Of course he has to drive a tractor through it!
Funny boy!!

Quincy's blessing

Andy blessed our sweet baby girl a couple of weeks ago. It turned out perfect He did a wonderful job. I feel so thankful to have a hubby who holds the priesthood. I was so happy that all the family came up to Bear Lake. That was a four hour drive in one day! It was so nice to have everyone there!


LoVe HeR!!!!

Such helpers!


This is what I found today when I came down the stairs. Colby and Carter working together and attempting to change Brayden's diaper. Wow! A little too much help if you ask me! Such sweet little guys! 

Best buddies!

This is Wes and Brayden. Yes they are neighbors, yes they are best buddies, and yes they can sneak out of the house and play in the mud at any time! These two cute boys have way too much fun together! :)

No training wheels!

Colby and Carter learned how to ride their bikes without training wheels. It was actually hard for me to watch. Carter picked up on it right away and Colby did not. It broke my heart for him. He was trying so hard. Carter was riding all over the place and Colby was getting so frustrated. I don't want them to be compared to each other. It's so hard with twins. The very next day I saw one of them cruise by on their bike. I automatically thought it was Carter but it was Colby! He was so determined he went out and taught himself!

Way to go boys!!!!!!!!

Catching up...

Well I have alot of catching up to do. This fourth baby has pretty much put me over the edge! I feel so busy! A couple weeks ago my brother's wife Keri came and stayed with us to help me out while I am still recovering from having the baby. Aaron drove her all the way up here on a Sunday and came to get her on Thursday. I was sooo thankful to them for helping me out. She helped me with my kids, cooked, and cleaned up after everyone! All of that while being pregnant with her second child. What a saint!

This is Brayden and my nephew Carson. They were best little buddies all week and worst enemies all at the same time. They played together and fought a lot! :) I was really having a hard time before she came. I was feeling so guilty that I was putting too much pressure on Colby and Carter. I couldn't do much and every second I was asking them to help me with something. Then Andy would be at work or school all day, then come home and clean the messy house from the day. Keri was such a big help for us all. I even got mastitis in the middle of her being there and got very sick. Aaron and Keri really went above and beyond for us. Thanks guys! We owe you big time!
