Happy 5th Anniversary

After five amazing years and three gorgeous children, I continue to fall more in love with my husband! I look forward to many more years in the future! 

Marc and I celebrated our anniversary with a stay-cation at the Talking Stick resort. We started out at the spa, followed by a nap (lol), a delicious dinner, another proposal (every year Marc surprises me with a sweet proposal on our anniversary:), gambling, and then a full baby/toddler free night's sleep. That was the best part! We haven't had uninterrupted sleep in forever! We would like to send a huge THANK YOU to my mom, Jaime, Steven, and Therese for making this happen! 

These are pictures from my mom and sister while we were out.

He is so handsome!!! 

Ha ha! It was bound to happen sooner or later!

Lunch at Deer Valley Airport

On Sunday, we took the family to the Deer Valley Airport restaurant. We were here back in December to watch Santa Claus fly in on his helicopter. Mason loved this place, so we decided to pack up the boys, along with Momma and Poppa, and head out there for lunch.  Mason loved the airplanes all over the ceiling. We were able to watch airplanes take off and land from our table in the restaurant. At one point, Mason and I went out to the runway area to watch a police helicopter land,  refuel,  and take off right in front of us. Mason referenced all the characters from the movie Planes throughout the entire lunch. The twins slept the whole time! It was a perfect, fun way to spend our Sunday afternoon!

I love these boys!

Noah woke up as we were leaving.

These pictures were taken in December when we watched Santa on the helicopter. I forgot to post these then because I was a little preoccupied with 2 newborns:) This was one of the first outings for the twins.

All of us at the restaurant before Santa got there. Look at those tiny babies!!!

Mason still talks about this day!

6 Month Check Up

Noah and Dylan had their 6 month check up and both boys are healthy and perfect. Noah weighs 18 pounds (59th percentile) and is 26 1/4 inches tall (30th percentile). Dylan weighs 18 pounds 6 ounces (66th percentile) and 26 1/2 inches tall (41st percentile). These percentiles are compared to non-premie babies. The boys are right on schedule and doing great!  They did have to get shots at this visit and I think I have a harder time than the little ones. Noah screamed out and turned bright red, but stopped crying once I gave him the pacifier. Dylan did not even flinch for the first shot and cried for a second with the next shot. They were tough little dudes. Both little guys are officially in their nursery and almost sleeping through the night! (Pictures of the nursery will be coming soon.)

I adore that gorgeous face!!! Noah loved swimming in the pool. He had the best time.

I am obsessed with Dylan's sweet smile! Dylan hated swimming in the pool. He screamed and cried the entire 2 minutes that we had him in with us:(

Mason is doing great with swimming!

All 3 boys chillin in the pack 'n' play.

I love that chunky little body! Noah has thighs that don't quit! Lol!

Memorial Day Weekend

This weekend was filled with family, food, and lots of fun! We all had a great time.

Cousins hanging out at PeePaw's house.

Jon was awesome with the boys!

The boys love Dani!

I love Noah's face in this picture!

On Monday we had a pool party at our house and cousin Jackson was with us!

Swimming with Daddy!

The water was too cold for Dylan and Noah slept through pool time.

These boys had the best time together!!!

This picture was from Mother's Day weekend! They are the most gorgeous toddler boys and they love being naked!!!

6 Months

Not only is this a day to celebrate the boys' 6 month birthday, but it is also a day to celebrate that Marc and I survived the first 6 months with twins! It can only get better from here, right? 

These boys are constantly changing and growing up a little too quickly for me. Here is a list of some of the things that they are doing:

1. Rolling everywhere! We can no longer leave these two lying on the floor alone. Noah even has a scooting on his belly technique to help him move around.

2. They are officially eating solid foods. As of now sweet potatoes and peas are the only foods they have had, and they enjoy them! They are also sitting in high chairs during feeding times now.

3.  They are laughing babies! These guys are so happy and have the sweetest belly giggles. They always get the hiccups from laughing, just like Mason. 

4.  They recognize their own names. Both boys react with a huge smile when we call their names. 

5.  They adore their furry sister. These two can stare in awe at Penny. They don't torture her the way Mason does, but they always want her attention. 

6.  They are also obsessed with Mason, and vice versa. I hope they have this loving relationship forever!

7.  They are teething. Their hands are constantly in their mouths, drool is pouring from their lips, and they are quite cranky in the middle of the night. I hope their teeth come through soon!

8.  They reach out and grab all kinds of objects. Dylan even reaches out to me when he wants me to pick him up. Most objects also end up in their mouths.

9.  They love bath time. No matter if they are tired, cranky, or hungry, once their bodies are immersed in water, they instantly calm down and relax. The water helps them forget their problems.

10.  They bring joy to everyone that they meet! These babies are a blessing and I can't imagine my life without them, no matter how hard it can be at times. They complete our family and I fall more in love with them every second!

Dylan's first reaction to peas. Lol!

Then he wanted more!

Noah instantly liked them.

Give me more!!!

Holding hands!
