Playing...

Here is a video of the kids playing. This is a usual occurrence at our house. They try everyday to see how much they can push the other. It is pretty entertaining!

And More....

I guess I have a few more updates. When we got home from Montana we tried to kick Will of his dependence on his pacifier. One night and he found his 2 fingers. Well, he never gave them up. I guess we have to deal with it now. Hayden is now army crawling. She scoots away and leaves Will sad. He wants to chase her but he hasn't quite figured it out. Soon! A couple days ago she scooted over to him, stole his toy and crawled away with it. I am guessing that payback is going to get her someday! Wrestle time!
Their new Northern shirts!

Adorable new hats from Grandma Christine and Grandpa Doug!

More Pictures.....

Here are some more of my favorites! Will giving me his loving smile!
Hayden and her newest trick....scrunching her nose!

Sorry it is sideways....I came home and Will was passed out in his Jumperoo. He would still bounce every now and again but he was out!

Hayden was sad that Arlo didn't want to play with her!

Hayden was having a rough day but she finally found peace in Daddy's arms!

Family Visits!

We also had some wonderful visitors in May! Sarah, Dad & Christine all came for Memorial Day Weekend. It was fantastic! The girls got some much needed relaxation while the guys (minus Will) got to go golfing! Sarah and I even had a movie date to see the Hanover 2. It was such a wonderful weekend! Will completely fell in love with Sarah! He lit up when she came in the room. Dad & Christine babysat one night so we could show Sarah what Chadron is all about. She happened to come to town on a busy weekend and was able to meet many of our friends. Dad & Christine were even able to give the kids their first double bath! Even though we mostly stayed home and did nothing, it was the best weekend!

Will and his Auntie Sarah!
At Mount Rushmore.....the short man forgot to get the heads in the picture :)

Will & Hayden's first trip to Mount Rushmore!

The Laker onesies for playoffs....unfortunately our luck ran out.

So Sorry....

I am so sorry for not updating our blog! It has been a busy few weeks! We had more illness at the beginning of May. Both kids had pink eye and Will ended up with an ear infection too. It was a rough few weeks. Will couldn't sleep with the ear pain so the whole family (minus Hayden) was up for a few days/nights in a row. Since our kids are fabulous sleepers (and always have been) it was really hard to be awake all night. Anyway, we are all back to healthy now! We are going on 3 weeks of no doctors visits!!!! We do go in on Monday for their 9 month checkup! I can't believe how time is flying! We truly have the best babies ever! Here are some photos from May. I will add more and add more of our life story next..... Happy Will in his new pj's from Grandma Kathy & Grandpa Mike

Double Bath Time Fun!!!! They can sit up so well that they now take baths together. Grandma Christine and Grandpa Doug babysat while they were here and gave them their first joint bath! Yay!

Their new lounging chairs! ADORABLE!

Swimming!

Well, April is much better than March! Our kids are finally healthy! How wonderful! We got home this afternoon from Rapid....Aric got Lasik! He is doing fantastic with great vision already. We were able to go swimming this morning too. Aric couldn't go in the pool due to his surgery so he was the camera man. When we got home we quickly dyed eggs just in time for the Easter Bunny! Here are some of my most recent favorites! Trying to get the dyed eggs

One Long Month!

We have had a very long month! The kids are finally healthy after over a month of being pretty sick! It is great to have our healthy, happy babies back. We are keeping up with our usual schedule these days. We are about to head into a busy few months. We are going to have lots of company, house projects and hopefully some nice weather to enjoy.

The kids are still growing fast and learning to eat new foods. Will is really enjoying eating new foods. Hayden looks as though she thinks we are trying to poison her. Silly Hayden!!! A little peas never hurt anyone. Anyway, Hayden is still a crazy little devil that rolls over like crazy. Will is just about to roll over and will probably learn so he can roll away from her. She constantly rolls over to Will and takes his toys. Must be payback for him taking up all the comfortable space in my tummy. Here are the latest pics of the kiddos! In their Hawaiian attire from Grandma Kathy. We will have more photos when they actually fit in the clothes....as well as adorable Mexican outfits from Grandma Christine and Grandpa Doug. We tried to limit pacifier time Will so he has discovered his thumb and fingers! Plan....failed!

A little early morning crib time

Happy Boy getting ready to eat!

All smiles....ready to dodge the spoon! :)
