Halloween 2006

Our little spooks! We had fun going to a Halloween party at Aidan's pre-school and then later went trunk-or-treating. We all had a lot of fun and ate our fair share of sugar for the year :)

A few black and whites

I absolutely love Black and White photography and decided to take a few shots. Here are some Black and White moments of the twins.....Enjoy

Aidan just loves his "little brothers"

Snuggling Koen
This pic was fun to take. They were both lift their heads up. Of course it was more of a challenge for Kael since he was on the bottom. Shortly after I took this pic and removed Koen, Kael spit up all over the blanket LOL

Kael having fun with dad.

Snuggle Bugs

Just a few little highlights of the first few months. Having twins is truely an amazing experience. I am loving every minute of it! They shared a crib for the first 6 months because that's the only way they could sleep is snuggled up to each other. I'm guessing because that's what they've been used to the past 9 months :)

They are very mellow and loving little boys and their siblings just love them and are great little helpers. I love the pic of Kael sitting on his dad with the hat. We refer to him in this pic as our little garden gnome. The picture next to it is Koen and dad taking an afternoon nap. How precious!

New Additions!

July 19, 2006 we welcomed 2 new members to our little family. Kael weighed 6 lbs 4 oz and Koen weighed 5 lbs 13 oz. They were both 18" long. Very healthy little boys. We are truely blessed!

Our Little Cabooses!!

Barry, Aidan and myself went in to get our first ultra sound to find out the gender of our baby. The Ultra sound technician kept referring to "Baby A and Baby B." We thought he was was teasing and it was getting a little ridiculous and we asked him to stop teasing. At that moment he told us the wonderful news and showed us a wide shot on the machine, revealing to us the first glimpse of our little miracles!

Baby A (Kael) and Baby B (Koen). We were too surprised for words! We didn't say anything but look at each other, exchanging overwhelming looks of shock, love, disbelief, and curiosity. At that moment we knew we were outnumbered and it was going to be a lot of work!

A Perfect Day in Paradise

We go married in Maui at sunset on the beach with both our families there. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding...

The Dinosuar Museum

Enjoying a fun day with the kids at the Donosuar Museum.

Durring Dallin's brushing for bones he stopped for a hug from dad. I love these moments.

A discovery! Mom, we found something!

Yellowstone & Jackson Hole

Barry and I went for a little getaway with my brother Michael and his wife Kyrsten to Yellowstone and Jackson Hole, WY for a week. It was some of the most amazing scenary. See my photography blog for the scenic shots.

There were 2 bulls fighting in the town within 50 feet of us and the ranger came running up behind us yelling at everyone to get behind the row of cars parked by us for protection in case they come after us. Well a few minutes after watching the bulls clash horns again and again, this old guy comes out of nowhere and walks up about 20 feet away from the disputing elk, with his pants hanging down and squats all funny and starts taking pictures of the event. We all look at each other and bust out laughing. The ranger kindly told him to get behind the cars. It might not seem so funny to read about, but every time any of us see this pic, we always giggle.
