A Sunny Spring Day

Our favorite thing about spring time is the warm, sunny days. We always try to fit in a few coasting days when the sun comes out, and today was one of those days!! This is the first year that Tallon was able to really get into it. He had a blast. He didn't like having to climb up the hill much, and eventually talked Grandpa into coming down with the snowmobile to pull him back up.

Uncle Jacob and Uncle Jace even came to enjoy the day with Tallon. They went down the hill some many times, Tallon says it was "more than we can even count" it was so much.

It is a good feeling knowing that summer will soon be here, but until then it is great to have a little sun, so we can still have fun in the snow!!

The BIG tub

Tonight the boys bathed in the big tub and had a ball!!! They are so cute standing here waiting for the tub to fill.

They have the cutest little butts I have ever seen!!

They were a little unsure about what to do until dad got the toys out and then we had water going everywhere. They would stop playing and look up at Tyler to see if they were doing it right, it was to cute.

Orrin is on the left in all the pictures with Vivin (of course) on the right. It is so fun to see them getting big. Oh, the fun the next year holds for us!!

Happy 1st Birthday you 2!!

Hard to believe that we made it to this day! The twins turned one yesterday and we celebrated with friends and family today.

Birthday Twins!!

Tallon gave them a cool Leap Frog toy. The boys laughed and played with it all night.

Gifts from Mom and Dad.

Cake Time!! We were all so excited to see what they would do with their cakes. Tallon was right there encase they needed any advice. Here they are as we were singing happy birthday.

Tallon helping Orrin gain a bit of confidence. It has been so hard to get these two to not destroy the house while eating, so they didn't really know if it was safe or not to just dig in.

It didn't take long before the got what they were supposed to do. Here is Orrin enjoying his special treat.

Vivin poked around for a few mins but then he was all about handfuls.

One more of the birthday boys!

It is hard to put into words what these two special boys have added to our home. To go from 1 child to 3 has been eventful. They have brought so much laughter and happiness with them. Tallon has loved being a brother and Tyler and I have had our testimonies of prayer and faith strengthened so much. It hasn't always been easy but it has been worth EVERY minute. I can't imagine my life without these amazing little boys. Happy 1st Birthday Orrin and Vivin we LOVE you both so much!!

The big Zero is almost over

We are in Casper watching the state cheer competition. Brynja and the others did great! They took 2nd place this year, which is a big deal!! It has been fun being in a hotel with the kids and it is where these two angels will turn 1!!

Tomorrow is the big day!! It is fun to think back to a year ago, and know that we are past it and that we survived! So here is the last picture of the twins, as Tallon tells it, being zero!!

Practice Practice

Tallon has really been working on his coloring, he says it is his homework and it has to be done so good. It is funny to see him take his preschool so serious. He is so set on being the best colorer(?) and I think he has done it!!
