The first weekend in February we went snowshoeing up to our friends cabin. We hauled in all our supplies and our children on sleds. It was tiring, but lots of fun. The sledding up there was awesome...a little too good for the twins. They got scared and cold but it was so fun. The hill went on forever and twisted and turned. The only bad part was, that you had to climb back up the hill when you were done

The twins turn 2!!!

I made the cake without a pattern. It was sunday and I totally forgot about making a cake. I didn't even have eggs or the right food coloring so Mickey's ears are actually brown. oops.

between christmas and their birthday, the twins were spoiled rotten. Jackson still thinks anything in a box is a "present for him"

The last few months

This is my team from the wasatch back relay race (minus Kolbi). Together we ran 188 miles from logan to park city. ...It was so hard, and crazy and fun and I hated it and loved it all at the same time. I would do it again in a heart beat.

The kids with Grandma bishop and Nanie

The twins are little fish. They would swim all day if I let them. Jackson tries to find his swim suit every morning. These are the matching ones I found them on ebay....aren't they stinkin cute?

So yesterday, I was running with the twins in the jogging stroller and Haley reached over and grabbed Jacksons hand. When Jackson let go she said "NO dack dack(Jack Jack)" and she grabbed his hand again. They held hands for quite a while which was so cute cause they haven't done that forever. Too bad I didn't have my camera. Then everytime Haley would see a dog, she would do the sign for Dog on Jacksons leg instead of her own.
Today, I heard the two of them laughing hysterically. I went in their room to see what was going on and they were taking turns tickling each other. When haley does that she says "tick a tick a tick". They were laughing so hard they could hardly breath.
Even though twins is hard, it is moments like these that make it so fun and worth the hard work. I would post pictures but I am at work so I will do it when I get home this weekend. Oh yea...thanks to my wonderful husband....He surprised me at work tonight with the twins and brought me cookies. He is so sweet!

San Diego and other random things

Haley and Jackson got to touch the star fish at sea world, as long as they didn't take them out of the water......yea right. We had to restrain Jack cause he wanted to hold it the whole time.

Jackson laying on daddy's back while he films. He is the ultimate Daddy's boy.

Haley got a shiner when Jackson used her to steady himself while they went down the Deck stairs. She fell 3-4 steps.

Yea!!!!!!!!! we have a backyard. We layed sod 2 weeks ago. Thanks to all the wonderful friends who took the time to come and help us. You're the best.

Natural boogie boarders.

Jackson being goofy. He likes to make faces at me by pressing his face against the window.

Dude, it's been awhile

Just wanted to write down some things for Haley and Jackson.

Haley folded her arms and said her first prayer tonight. Didn't understand a dang thing but it was awesome! Jackson noticed the moon for the first time today and I got him to say moon...he also said birds the other day. It was crazy cause there was still daylight and he still noticed it.

This past weekend we went to the Wrights house (my cousins) and saw cousins we had never seen in like 20 years! Crazy. Anyway this post is kind of boring but I wanted to make sure and write down what Jackson and Haley did.

Peace.

Jackson loved riding the scooter with his dad

Jackson's first 4 wheeler ride.

The kids got a bubble maker for easter and they chase the bubbles all around.

Easter morning.

My little couch potatoes

Jackson climbed into our front loading washer and couldn't get out. He was like a little hamster just running around and around in the barrel. Poor guy.

Yea spring is here. We are so happy because Jackson and Haley are definantly outdoor babies. They would stay out all day if I let them and they look for any opportunity to sneak out. Jackson worked so hard he made a hole in the screen door and can now stick his hand through and use it to open it up. They are growing up so fast. Jackson seems to have a new found energy this week and goes from one thing to the next. He wore me out!!!!! He is so excited about everything he sees and makes the cutest little noises when he's happy and excited. He loves balls and got a play golf set for easter. He loves to hit the balls and occasionally his sister. Haley gets more "girly" by the day. She loves her tutu and her purse and pretty clothes. She is so pleasant and happy all the time. She is my little helper and throws everything away and gets stuff when I need it. I am amazed at how much she understands when I tell her things. She is so busy all the time. I don't think her legs ever stop moving. She has discovered a mud hole that is created everytime it rains in our flower bed and she has jumped in more than once and one time even face planted in it.
We hopefully get to put sod in our back yard this week and we have planted a garden. That's a first for us both so we will see if either of us have a green thumb. I am continuing to train for the wasatch back relay race which is June 19th. It is a 187 mile relay race that I am doing with 12 girls we go from Logan to Park city. I am starting to question my sanity everytime I wake up at 5am to run or train on yet another long hill.....ouch.
