Before I get to the blessing I want to just write a little about the boys!

I still have a hard time thinking I am a mom of two adorable little guys! They are so much fun and bring so much sunshine into our lives. I love their smiles and the dimples on both sides!! They are starting to laugh and coo alot more. They are the happiest right after they wake up. They are morning people like their mom! :) When they wake up they greet me first with a cry (because they are super hungry) and then after I feed them they give me lots of smiles! Brad has an angry/mad cry. When he is hungry he lets us know. His face will go red from crying so hard. Jensen on the other hand cries, but it is not like Brads. It's more of a cry whimper. The funniest is when they both cry at the same time. I laugh sometimes (when I don't have a super bad headache from lack of sleep) when they are crying cause I think they look cute. The faces they can make are hilarious!

They are starting to sleep better in their cribs. In fact Jensen slept from 9:00 all the way until 4:30! YAY!! Brad still woke up once druing the night around 2:30 then woke up around 5:00 this morning! SO they are finally getting on a schedule. Lately my mom has been coming up and helping me. We go on walks and work on crafts.

Their personalities are starting to shine through more and more each day. They just make me smile. They love to lay on their backs underneath a playmat toy we got them. A game we play is kick the blanket. I will lay them side by side and put a light weight blanket all the way over them and they immediately start to punch it down and kick it off. They laugh and smile while we do it. They turn their heads towards Jason when he talks, and same with me. They will follow us with their eyes. And they just LOVE bath time. We have a bedtime routine. We start out by bathing them, then we slather them in lotion and kisses. We put them in their cribs and then read scriptures as a family and say our prayers. They go right to sleep. I cannot imagine our life now without them. They finally have eyelashes. They have gotten darker and longer. Oh, and they absolutely LOVE kisses from their mom and dad! Everytime we kiss them they smile. And usually they try and turn their heads towards us with open mouths.

This past week I have been doing little things here and there to get ready for the blessing. I went shopping on Friday for food. I packed up the boys and we headed to costco. I saw about 8 people there that I knew. Some I had not seen in years. So it was fun for them to meet the boys and catch up. Its amazing how so little can add up so fast at Costco. Anyways, Saturday came and I cleaned and cooked all day long. I only got about 3 1/2 hours of sleep that night. I had 6 crockpots going all night long with pork in them. I made the Cafe Rio Sweet pork recipe and the ranch dressing. We ate them with black beans, tomatos, lettuce and nacho chips. My wonderful friends and family made delicious treats and side dishes. I feel so fortunate to have all the help that I did. Thank you especially to Tyler my brother. He came over Sunday morning and watched the boys while I got food and myself ready. Also to my sister Cari, my sister in law Liz, my Mom, my Mother in Law Nancy and my Dad and Sabina. They helped so much with the food and prep! Also a big thanks to our other family members and friends who brought food! We love you guys! We are so lucky to have so many wonderful people around us!

Right before we left for church I was putting on the boys blessing outfits. I go to put it over Brads head and sadly enough the outfits didn't fit over their heads. I thought, "Oh CRAP" what do I do? So I snipped the front of the neckline a little so they could fit ouver their heads. We laughed about it all day. Our boys have big heads. They are in the 75% for heads. Anyways, we left and go to church about 10 mins before. The boys fell asleep, and were so good the whole time. The blessings went great. Jensen was first, and then Brad. There was also a little girl that got blessed. Sacrament was PACKED!! I shared my testimony, and then after sacrament was over we went and got the food ready. We had it just in the backyard. Thanks to the many hands that helped everything get ready. We mingled and ate food. We had family there until about 7:30 that night. My Grandparents drove up from St. George and my Aunt and Uncle drove up with their kids from Cedar City. I just love when family gets together. I love them all. We missed all of you who couldn't make it.
