Isnt today a good day for the weekend to start? Pressing their faces against the screen so they can look at the dog inside got them pretty filthy.... yay. Hope your weekend is dreamy, sunny, and full...
When I was pregnant, Travis and I went to see Alice in Wonderland in theaters. On the way home, I talked about what a lovely and wonderful book "Alices Adventures in Wonderland" was, and how ...
We had so much fun on Memorial day with Travis family. When I was a kid, we never really did the whole "memorial day" thing. Travis says its because we didnt know anyone whod died... Bu...
Sometimes, being a mother is sunshine and rainbows. And SOME DAYS IT IS NOT. Today, my children have been replaced by evil, destructoid maniacs. Usually when I have bad days, it is because my babies ...
There is a park by our house, with a perfect little playground, nestled in among tall shadey trees and wide expanses of perfectly manicured lawn. It is the best park and playground that I know of. We...
It is not uncommon for one of my boys to wake up a half hour, or earlier than his brother from naptime. I LOVE this time that I have to spend with my little boy. Just the two of us playing. He doesnt...
After Mothers day it seemed like everyone that I know had written a beautiful essay on motherhood, whether about their own mother or about themselves as a mother. And I wanted to share some of them. ...
Have you seen that hashtag floating around Instagram lately? I feel like everyone has been posting their #9ofpride pics. So I wanted to. Essentially, (at least, I have surmised) it is 9 pictures, tak...
Summertime! I welcome thee with open arms! I tell myself during editing "Reign yourself in. You may post two pictures of each of the boys, and two pictures of them together. Less is more." Ye...
Me: What do parents of one child even do with their time? Travis: They probably teach their kids things. Seriously. My kids might be dumbies. They each know a handful of signs, animals sounds t...
Travis is traveling. Ah, so what else is new? He left Friday morning and wont be back until Wednesday. When hes gone I feel so... helpless. I can manage twins on my own. All day. I can. I do it every...
Nope. Just home movies. But all those words start with F, so I got excited. Anyway, heres a collection of some recent clips and movies of the boys. Sigh. I am in love with those boys. Hope you have a...
So lately Ive been trying to take pictures my our dinner every night. Mostly on instagram. Mostly as proof that Im a decent homemaker. Gilled Pineapple and teriyaki chicken with roasted red potatoes ...
I am obsessed with these little shirtless babies. I want them to always be bare chested. I have a couple soapboxes that I like to sometimes climb on to, though I try not to launch too much into any o...
This year was my second Mothers Day as a mother myself. I woke up early, and lay in bed, listening to the babies laugh and yell in their room. When I finally wandered out to the living room, Travis w...
Sorry that todays post is so late in the day! Last night my friend Cecelia texted me that they were driving through Provo and wanted to stop for a quick visit this morning. Luckily for me (perhaps un...
I had a pretty idyllic child hood, growing up in Minnesota. And as summer approaches, I keep thinking and dreaming of all the things I want my boys to do throughout their summer times. ...
Micah needs tubes in his ears, and DANG! They are pricey. Insurance does not love to cover them. So I have decided to be a photographer again, to hopefully raise some extra money. Would you lik...
Twins! Twins are fun. I love them. My cousins Tucker and Jesse were home in San Diego for the summer, which was a wonderful surprise, since I kind of assumed that they were off elsewhere. But they we...
Carrying around a heavy camera with two babies can be TOUGH. And my real camera weighs a ton, so its hard to even keep it in my diaper bag, or whip it out while in the car. So the iphone, as always, ...
I had all these plans of trekking to the zoo and Scripps aquarium and wherever else with my boys, but what happened instead is this: we showed up at my aunt Kathys house and were sucked in....
The boys are completely in love with my aunt Kathys trampoline. They were so smiley and cute, but it was really hard to get pictures of them together. Sowhatelseisnew. Am I right? C...
My babies are fourteen months! Like last month, I cant post proper month-day pictures, since Im writing this before we leave to San Diego, so it can post on its own. Ill take some pictures of the boy...
We have packed the car, and are leaving for San Diego very soon, but first, heres a blog post: When our babies were babies, Travis used to joke about how soft their hair was. He would say, "These...
This is a love poem to my iPhone, titled: Holycrap, I am obsessed with you: I take too many pictures. Grey on the swing // Micah on the swing // Grey pointing at dogs, he wanted to follow them // he ...
This post is many random and unconnected things in one. First ROOOOAD TRIP!!! Travis, the boys, and I are going on last -minute road trip this weekend to San Diego. I am pretty freaking excited...
In the last few weeks, my children have fallen off the wagon. Out of NOWHERE, they are waking up in the night! Sometimes three or four times! I CANT HANDLE IT!! They have no problems during the day a...
On our way to the grocery store. Even if they looked like girls (which I think, they DONT) theyre dressed in blue and green! HELLO! These are boys. Also, I took this picture because they were so exha...
You guys, Im completely obsessed with those orchard pictures and now that we have a whole years worth, Im planning on printing them out as big 12x12 squares and hanging them above our bed. Ive ...
I may be tempted to go take pictures in this orchard every three months for the rest of our lives, because seriously. A dorable. I love them. Always. Who needs a photographer when you ...
