Smiles, blankets and food!

How can you not love this cute smile and face! This is Brad, he was getting pretty excited because he knew real food was coming. This is Jensen showing a face that him and Brad make. The funny thing is they only make it when they eat any kind of fruit. With the cereal and veggies they don't, but for some reason fruit makes them pucker. They still eat it and want more, but they pucker. It makes me laugh...
Here are Brad and Jensen right before lunch time. I strip them down to their diapers becuase cleanup is easier that way!
Another cute smiley picture of Brad. Gotta love that gummy smile!
Here we are celebrating Jason and Vanessa's Birthdays with his family. He turned 28 a couple weeks ago, the cake has a two with eight candles around it (we had no 8)
Here is Jensen and all is fun little things he does.
Brad and all his fun little looks...
Jasons mom made the boys quilts for their cribs. We had gone together and picked out the material. I love how they turned out. There are little details that you can't really see well. But she quilted them which takes a long time. The boys love them! Here is Jensen with his....
more Jensen....
And here is Brad with his...
they sure did love how soft they were. They started to snuggle with them right away!

I know it's been awhile since I have posted. Sorry. I have been busy with the boys and just life happening. It seems my days are filled with feeding, changing and putting babies down for sleep. Which is great and what I love, but the days do tend to blend together some times. I am still going to the gym and loving zumba. I take the boys with me to the store often. Anything and anywhere I can go to get out of the basement.
I drove down to my mom and Toms house on Monday and spent some time with them. The boys just adore Tom. For some reason when he is around they can't stop staring and laughing at him. They also love my Mom. She is so good at playing with them and getting them to giggle. The drive down there was nice. It is so pretty down there and the air is so fresh. It's nice to get away from the smog we get in the valley. We hung out, fed theboys (including Tom) ;)... I helped my Mom with her blog and they we watched Bride and Prejudice... cute movie.
Also last week on the only day that it snowed (just my luck) I drove up to Salt Lake to meet up with Jason who had been at a conference thing for his work. Some of his coworkers and clients that he helps on the phone wanted to meet me and the boys. Everyone was so nice and just loved the boys, especially Mandy. She loved holding Brad, and she got some pictures of us together. It was so nice to finally meet her. After I met them at the hotel, some of us headed over to Ruby River for dinner. It was Jason, his friend Rich that he works with and a client Justin that he talks to on the phone alot. We had a good time, and the boys were good for the most part. They started to get fussy towards the end.
I got called into Relief Society as an activities committee member.Right now we are planning the Relief Society Birthday party. I also hung out with Cari on Thursday. It was so funny, I had layed Jensen down on the ground and Kaylee (her little girl who is 6 monhs older than the boys) went up to him and strted giving him hugs and then started in with the kisses. She kept kissing him and Jensen didn't mind at first. She would bend over and kiss him, then look up at us to see if we were watching, or to pose for a picture. That girl knows when a camera is on her and she loves it. Cari got all the footage, so once I get it from her I will post it.
Yesterday we celebrated Dereks (my brother) Birthday. We went to Wingers and ate dinner. It's always good to get together with family.
There is always something going on, which I love but it is also really nice just to have those relaxing days at home when you can just get stuff done. Laundry (which there always seems to be plenty of for me to wash and fold) and dishes but its just good to not feel like you have to rush off anywhere. You understand right? Anyways, my mind is shot right now because last night we started the "cry it out" with the boys. Jensen woke up at 1:15ish and cried for about an hour and a half. It was so hard to sit there and listen to him cry. I would go in every half hour, make sure he was ok and just let him know I was there. He finally fell back asleep about 20 mins after Brad woke up and started crying. He only cried for about 45 mins though. Sadly enough I didn't get back to sleep until about 3:30, and even then when they both were alseep again it took me a little bit to fall back asleep. Lets hope they don't wake up tonight....lol...ha fat chance! I guess we will see.... hopefully only 2 more nights of this though. It is not fun!! Anyways, I hope you all are doing good.

They are so cute. I can't believe how big they are getting.

Love the pictures - what darling baby models. Baby Gap has nothing over these two cuties! Those quilts I made weren't complete until we added the boys. I hope they feel the love that I put in every stitch as they snuggle under them. Glad I finished them before kindergarten :)

It was quite nice to finally meet your family at the Omniture Summit, especially the adorable twin boys. From your photos, I have noticed that Brad always focuses his attention on the camera and seems quite engaging. This is why I started to hold him first. After a while, I got so tired (Boy, they are quite heavy.) and can't hold Jensen any longer.
In our fun weekly meetings with Jason at work, we found many nice things about the twins. Jason has been a great friend and helped us a lot on addressing many important issues. Our whole team is quite grateful for Jason's excellent services. Kelli, I apology to hold him so late sometimes. Thanks for sharing your wonderful family with us. Enjoy.
