3 Months Already!

The twins are now 3 months old! I can't believe how fast it has gone! We have loved every minute. They are doing pretty well at night now, sleeping from 8pm to 7am with one quick feeding between 1-2 am. They are only up for about 30min and then back down to sleep. Lucky for me! Trenton is now catching up to Emma on smiles. He has these huge toothless grins we love to look for.

Vegas Trip

We had a wonderful trip to Las Vegas. We stayed with Jeff and Renee and their adorable boys, Camden and Carter! Thanks for all the fun! We spent father's day at Lake Las Vegas. Happy first Father's Day, Bill! We love you!

My new favorite toy

We just got a double jogging stroller since our regular stroller didn't work so well in our neighborhood. The babies and I have been enjoying getting up early and taking a nice walk before the heat kicks in too high. Just before I snapped this picture, both Trenton and Emma had huge smiles on their faces!



The Smiles!!

Emma has been smiling constantly and we finally captured hers and a partial on Trenton. We love seeing those smiles, they completely make our day!

Visit from Papa and Grandma D

Dad, Mom, and Anamarie came for a weekend visit. It was so cute that Papa and Trenton really connected on this trip!


Cousins

Alyssa and Amanda were thrilled to meet their new cousins but Drew wasn't so sure. Thank you Hawkins family for coming to visit!

Who's that baby

Maria had a picture of Drew when he was born. We couldn't believe how much Trenton looks like him, Drew's just a bit darker in coloring! So we put Trenton in the same pj's and poof, almost the same baby!

The New Family Vehicle

Unfortunately our little Xterra was crammed full with just the 2 carseats and the double stroller. We were unable to bring anyone with us so we knew it was time to grow again. Luckily, one of the Captains on Bill's department was selling this gorgeous Expedition and we jumped on it. The same day, another guy on the department bought our Xterra for his daughter. It's amazing how things work out sometimes! We now have plenty of room for extra people as well as luggage, groceries, etc.

The Twin Factor


We have found that Emma darling falls to sleep much faster when she can touch Trenton. Since their arms are continually flying, we wrap them up and she lays her head against his. Its amazing how much comfort she finds in Trenton, but not so much the other way around!

Cuddlebugs

Aunty Maria put both the little ones in their bouncy chair and I of course had to snap a few photos. Emma kept snuggling closer and closer to poor Trenton until he had had enough!

Aunty Maria's Visit

Maria has been a huge help to me already and she's only been here a couple days! As you can see the kids are totally under her spell!

Who's Side Are You On?

We loved these little onsies and figured we better get a picture before they outgrow them. We have team Mom vs team Dad!


The Beauty of Gardening

I finally have taken some pictures of the beautiful plants Dad and Bill put in our front yard. It is so beautiful to look out our front windows and see so many colorful flowers and greenery. Thanks a ton, Dad!

Ready for Meeting!

Daddy did a fabulous job getting the cuties ready for meeting. He even humored mommy and put on Emma's headband!

Visit from family

Granny Sal, Aunt Deeds, and cousin Tenny came down for a visit. This was Tenny's first chance to meet the little ones.

Tucson Fire

The kids first trip to Daddy's work. Had to have the picture with the truck!

These adorable flower arrangements were sent by Bill's work union. Very cute that they each got one.

One of their many uncles.

Change of Opinion

Now that they can have real baths, Trenton and Emma have decided baths aren't so bad after all!

Investigating the Neighborhood


Our first walk around the neighborhood will probably be the last until we can get a jogging stroller. Unfortunately the sidewalks start and stop on opposite sides of the street and the roadway is so torn up I was afraid the shocks would break on the stroller! So, we will have to walk the mall for now.
