Josh, Tiffany & Co.

and mama too. At the girls 9 month check-up the girls were on the slim-side, surprise, surprise. And in these past 6 weeks I spend my time trying to bulk-up the babes. I think they are getting bigger, although I haven't had them weighed since. Today Tessa was wearing 12-month jeans, and they really did seem to fit. When they aren't eating or sleeping, they are getting into things. They are both crawling on their hands and knees and they are getting pretty fast, especially when they see Logan's bedroom door open. Eden does a run-crawl thing, and she is fast. Eden is also pulling herself up, and opening drawers and emptying everything out of anything she can find. All the toys out of her drawer, the clean clothes from my laundry basket. She has two teeth on top now too, which makes me laugh when she really cheeses her smile. We were playing downstairs and when I turned around I saw Eden halfway up the stairs. I didn't even know she could climb them, and there she was up h...

Celebrating Logan's birthday is almost as fun as celebrating my own and I love that we get to keep celebrating it this weekend. Logan picked out the girls shirts. And we took him to breakfast. Our little family of 5, it was the first time we have gone out by ourselves, it only took 10 months! These are some recent pictures of Mr. Logan. Tracing his Letters This past year has been a little tough, what with birthing and raising the girls and Logan has been with me every step of the way. Some days I have been tired and grumpy and just plain busy from trying to keep our house running and taking care of the needs of the family. Logan ends up getting the brunt of my grumpiness, which I feel guilty about. We have been playing a game where we use the sheet above and we think of a word for every letter of the alphabet and I write it down. A couple weeks a go he said he wanted to write, so I let him at it. The first word he wrote was CAT, the second one was LOGAN, and the third was MOM. I he...

my water broke. And about 12 hours later, these gorgeous girls were in my arms. Glad to have made it 38 1/2 weeks, but ready to meet my girlies! With the girls being 9 months, and born at 38 weeks, they have now been out longer than they were in ;) I haven't had time to document all the new things they are doing, but currently they are waving, clapping and they are both giving kisses; to me, Josh, Logan, and each other. It is beautiful. I love watching my babies grow, and as crazy and busy as it is having these kidlets, sometimes, when Logan says something that makes me laugh out loud, or just watching the girls play and experience everything for the first time, I just wish they didn't grow so darn fast. 5 Weeks 2 months 3 months 8 1/2 months

I went through Logan's old clothes to find some bigger warm pajammas and the result was the cutest kids ever. We love the Cougar blue around here. It seems for the past two months my kidlets have been sick off and on, the girls noses have been running for the past week. I am hoping they get over it soon. I am just loving the internet and blogging these days. I have craft blogs on my reader I love to browse. I made these little crocheted hearts from this Little Birdie Secrets Tutorial . Super cute, although, Eden has decided she won't wear headbands :(. Tessa isn't bothered, but Eden takes it off the second you put it on, and if she sees Tessa wearing one, she immediately grabs hers. And decorated mantles are darling, and luckily I have one to decorate. I started with a simple sewed garland. I don't usually decorate much for holidays, but I think I might start!

Photo by Karen Gallup Photography Lately, when I am out in public with all the kiddos (which isn't very often, I'll be honest) I have been getting the comment, "Well don't you have your hands full." Sometimes with a laugh and added conversation and sometimes with raised eyebrows. I spend so much time at home carting around two infants, one in each arm, and Logan, the 3 year old, under-toe, I forgot it might look a little strange to someone not used to seeing such a sight. But I love my full hands. And all too soon they won't be so full anymore, so as crazy as I might look sometimes, I will continue to carry around one infant in each arm and keep my little guy by my side. This is the way we travel, or Logan in the front with one of the babies in a sling. "I have a tooth. Do you have a tooth? I have a tooth."

When I married him. The awesome-ness came with. (my grandma Wickham made the cake for him back in October) I have decided that putting kids to bed and doing something creative, even if my house is neglected, helps with mental health when you spend the days helping to develop young brains ;) And my husband is so great to help me (and stay up until 1 in the morning because the shower is the next day!) work on projects like this for a neighbor who is having twins, a boy and a girl . . . I was introduced to freezer paper stenciling by Megan , and I followed her tutorial to make my own creations, these are actually a second creation, for Christmas we made Logan a BYU shirt. Josh is the master xacto-knife guy, he did all the cutting for these. I just iron and paint. They are so stinkin'cute, I decided we need to make Eden and Tessa a matching pair.
