Brad's Birthday

It was Brad's birthday yesterday! Me, Justice, Talon, and Cardon met Lacy and Savannah (Brad's partner's wife and daughter) at Chile's. We were tyring to surprise him for lunch, but Brad was on to us the whole time. When Mike told him they were going to take a long lunch, Brad said why? Are we meeting our wives for lunch? So not much of a surprise, but we had a fun time anyway. Brad went back to work, and we headed home and made brownies, since Brad doesn't like cake much, and Justice wanted to make a birthday sign.

Justice was a great helper opening presents. The reason why Brad is smiling in this picture is because Justice was telling what was in the present before it was even opened. He is really good at that! Do you like the Christmas wrapping paper?
We cut the brownies and had some ice cream, and then Justice got mad because we forgot to blow out candles. So we thought we better do it.
This is the sign we made. Justice colored it so cute. He drew some smiley faces and scribbled all over. He was sure proud of it. I hope Brad had a great day. He is my best friend and I don't know what I would do without him. He is such a good dad and husband. He goes to work all day and then comes home and doesn't have a choice but to help out, but he never complains. Happy Birthday Brad! WE LOVE YOU!

Crazy Talon

So yesterday I was gearing up to get in the shower and Justice wanted to eat a Fruit by the Foot and watch a little television. Cardon was having a nap, and Talon was awake so I got Talon a bunch of toys, and laid him on the floor. I took a quick shower, and when I got out I peeked out my door and noticed Justice had fallen asleep. I just continued getting ready, and I could here Talon having a great time in there, so I thought I better go check things out. This is what I found...

Justice must have dropped his Fruit by the Foot and Talon rolled over and got it! He had been eating it. It was so funny! It was everywhere, and he was so sticky. He was laughing and smiling and just enjoying his sugar high I guess! Later that night Brad found some I must of missed cleaning him off, it was hidden in the roll of his wrist. Talon rolls all over the place. I can't leave anything on the floor or he is sure to be right in the middle of it!

Another year older!

So I had another birthday come and go. It just isn't the same as when we were younger. Don't get me wrong I had a great day, but I just remember the feeling I used to get on my birthday, it was so much fun. Brad new I wanted a gym pass really bad, so he surprised me with some money to get one! He made sure to tell me it was only because I wanted one, not because he thought I needed one. I thought that was cute.

Justice picked out (with the help of Aunt Jo) some cute earrings, a bracelet, and some lip gloss. He was so excited to give them to me. He, Talon, and Cardon also gave me a really cute frame, that Justice said that he made, and Daddy might have helped just a little! I loved it! (good work Brad)

We went to good old Golden Coral that night with my family. We had a fun time and enjoyed all the goofy people eating at the buffet. The next day Brad and I got some much needed time to ourselves and had lunch at Brickoven. It was really yummy! We then went to a movie. We sure appreciated my Mom and Jodie for tended so we could do this.

Thank you everyone for the cute presents and helping make this a special day!

6 Months Old Already

CARDON & TALON

Well Talon and Cardon are six months old now and I can't believe it! Their 6 month birthday was on April 14th. We took them for pictures that day and that was crazy. They didn't want anything to do with that! I will post some of the pictures in a few days! They had their six month check up and the doctor said they look awesome! He said they are doing so good and you would never know that they were preemies. They both had to get 5 shots, but it wasn't to bad. Justice went with us all to the doctor and he was asking to have a shot too! Crazy kid, but hey it makes it easy when he has to have one. They both have their lower central incisors (teeth). Cardon got his at 5 months and Talon just got his the other day. They are rolling constantly, but Cardon can't figure out how to get back to his back from his tummy! The past 6 months have sure went by fast, but I have loved every minute of it. What a blessing it is to have twins. I am so grateful my Heavenly Father gave us the opportunity to be parents of twins. I can't wait to see what the next 6 months bring us. I love being a mom and think it is the best job in the world!

I took this picture at the doctor's ofice while we were waitin for him to come in!

Ryan Sheckler Wannabe

Justice loves to watch the t.v. show "Life of Ryan". He wanted me to do his hair like him and take some pictures of him. Justice s always trying to do tricks on his skateboard like Ryan. For those of you who don't know who Ryan Sheckler is, he is a professional skateboarder and is Justice's favorite! I kind of like him too:)

Spring Fever

I took these cute pictures of Justice yesterday. He and I are both having a little bit of SPRING FEVER! It was pretty cold, but we still had to get outside for a minute while the babies were having a nap. He is so excited to ride his bike and he is getting pretty good. He keeps telling me he wants his training wheels off, but I don't think he is quite ready for that yet!
