Here are some more pictures of the twins. I am not sure if I should post the one of neil holding them upside down. You would think it borders on child abuse but the twins love it. They are getting so cute. They are smiling and laughing and interacting so much more. They are so aware of their surroundings which is making it a little harder because now they know when I leave the room or if I am not paying attention to them and they are not afraid to express there disapproval. Some days I feel like one or the other is crying every second of the day. In fact I think they plan it. Then it is so much fun when they both start in together. Two kids together yell 10x louder than just one. I am not sure how that works but it does. Just when i am at the end of my rope, they smile or laugh and it makes it all better. It is fun to have all these experiences with them. Haley and I did pedicures the other day... I am training her right. Jackson had his first experience in the jump a roo, as you can see he was more interested in sucking on it then jumping. The thing that warms my heart is to watch the connection they have. They now watch each other. and whenever they are laying by each other they hold hands (as you can see in the picture.) Man they are fun!

you gotta watch this video....yes I know it's sideways, just turn your head:)

Just wanted to post some fun pictures of stuff we have been doing. There really isn't any paticular theme. Neil and my nephews had a sleep over and did fake tatoos. We also took our family to the salt lake temple during conference and took the family picture. The other one is of us by the lake that is like 5 blocks from our house. We love living out here. (even though I didn't think I would.) It is fun to kind of live out of the city. We are spending most of our free time on putting in a back yard and making the front more presentable. It is so nice to have a place to call our own and make it a home. We are loving it.




Jackson has decided in the last few weeks that he no longer wants to use the bottle to eat. He just wants to nurse. No one saw thatcoming since it was a HUGE trauma to get him nurse in the beginning. I just can''t figure out where he gets his stubborn streak and temper from. Anyways we started them on cereal this week so that Dadcould feed them while I was at work. Jackson wasn't exactly happy and held his mouth open with the food in it for a good few minutes. He wasn't quite sure what to do. Haley loved it and laughed and smiled the whole time although I don't think she ever swallowed any> It just kept coming back out when she laughed.



Jackson still likes to suck haley's thumb....or arm or whatever he can get ahold of. He did finally learn how to suck his own thumb though
