Going Private

I know its a pain for everyone but I am a little freaked out with every thing that has been on the news about blogging. We dont want to stop because this is how we keep in touch with a lot of you. So we decided to go private. If you still would like to view our blog we would love to hear from you. Please just leave your email address in the comment box and I will send you and email. Sorry again, I know its one more step. Hope all is well!!

Halloween 2008

I know I am a little tardy in posting this but all of the pics were on Lonnies computer and it has been down for a few days. If you cant tell from the pictures Lonnie was Dr Suess, I was Cat in the Hat and the boys well they are pretty self explanatory. We went to my moms for a big party as usual. We had dinner, had a costume contest and played games. We had a great Halloween. Thanks mom (even though she will never read this, she has absolutely no idea what a blog even is!!)

Chilly, Fall Weather

We wanted to take advantage of the beautiful Utah mountains in the fall but unfortunately the mountains are not to handicapp accessible. So we settled for Adventure Learning Park. We still had fun and the boys had a great time discovering ducks. They were a little scared at first but warmed up to them pretty fast. It was extremley chilly. It took Lonnie hours (literally) to warm up. The boys werent too happy to take photos. They have both been sick.
They are 10 months old now. I cant believe we are going to be doing there 1st birthday in less that two months. It makes me so sad how fast they are growing up. I just want a pause button in life. Everyone told me that the first year was the hardest with twins. I definately disagree. Not that I am complaining by any means, I am so grateful to have healthy boys. But, the older and more mobile they get they more crazy our lives get. They are getting so dang cute together though. Lonnie and I could sit and watch them together all day long. They play peek-a-boo with each other and they chase each other, and laugh soooooo dang hard while doing it.
Well, theres a small update on our lives. I hope everyone is doing great!!

Same old Same Old

Sorry we havent posted in a while. As you can see in this post, our lives are very uneventful. At least to the outside world. I am NEVER bored. Things are getting crazier the older and more mobile the boys get. They are getting more fun by the day. I never thought it would be possible that they would get more and more fun by the moment, but they do. Here are a few "events" in our lives in the past few weeks. Sorry its probably boring to most of you!


We took the boys to the zoo. Their favorite animal was definately the penguins. They just sat there and giggled at them. All the other animals they just kind of looked at in amazement.

I gave the boys their first haircut last week. We just put them in the bumbo in our shower and put the cape I use on Lonnie when I cut his hair. They thought it was pretty cool They look really happy before. But werent so happy after

Taylors 1st haircut. He was an angel. He held still the entire time. However, even with him being as good as he was his haircut didnt turn out so well. Oops, sorry Tay

Josh's First haircut. He didnt like it at all. He just burried his head lower and lower trying to get away from the clippers. His doesnt look too bad because he is a toe head and you can see all the mistakes

Josh is now mobile

Both boys got their first tooth (I know you cant see it but its really there)

Josh's New Favorite Place to play (under the chairs)

I know our lifes are all babies!! But, thats the way we LOVE IT! Hope everyone is doing great

Already 8 months old

It's crazy to think our boys are already 8 month old. They are growing up way too quickly. Everyone always says to take lots of pictures and shoot lots of video because they grow up too quickly and you tend to forget. So I think Lindsay has taken that advice to heart. She does a little photo shoot every month to see how much they're growing. Here are a few pictures to show off her camera skills.

Taylor loves to sit and play
but refuses to roll over




Josh love to roll and roll and roll, We had a hard time keeping him still long enough to take these pictures




They also love to play together and tend to steal each other's Toys.

All you parents out there will probably appreciate the humor in this photo but everyone else will probably think it's nasty.



You've got to love drool!

Park City Cont...

Okay so Im a dork and cant seem to get the whole image thing down so I had to do two different post. I better get the hang of this soon because I dont have the patience for it. Its making me very upset.

Anyway, we also went to the Olympic Park while we were up there. If you look at the pic on the right you can see a aerial jumper. I cant belive how high they go.

We are back at home now, and after hours of laundry and unpacking we are back into our routine. It was a good first outing with the boys

Park City

We have been in Park City the past few days, just having a nice and relaxing time. It was a lot of work to get there. In fact, by the time I hauled the boys, bags, and Lonnie through all the door ways and elevators, I was ready to turn around and come home. Taylor was screaming the whole time, I am pretty sure and 4 levels of the parking garage could hear him. The door ways out of the garage were so narrow, that Lonnie could barley get through. So here I was trying to think skinny while trying to get the luggage, huge stroller, and Lonnie through the door ways. Needless to say we should have taken some footage of that. Then you really would have enjoyed the blog.

Once we got there and got the boys fed and happy things went pretty smoothy. The boys did pretty well on the first little get away. It was so nice to have a change of pace. We swam, played tennis, and enjoyed not baking in 100 degree weather.

Both boys loved the pool. Josh doesnt even mind getting dunked. They just splashed and laughed at each other have a grand ole time.

Taylor is on the left and Josh on the right. They really were smiling the whole time except of course when we get the camera out!
