Just because.....

We don't have a whole lot going on right now. Nathaniel and I are headed to Las Vegas in a couple of weeks, but no big events to take pictures for.......so.......we decided to take pics in our pjs!!!! Our weekends, these days, are filled with a whole lot of nothing and we wouldn't have it any other way. We spend a majority of Saturday and Sunday planted on the floor of our living room on blankets playing with Jack and Bella. It's such a special time in their lives and we love every minute of it! Here are some pics from this weekend if everyone could just pardon the pjs. :) Oh yeah, and we decided this post was to wish 2 (that's right, two!) uncles a happy birthday. My brother, Uncle Cliff, and Nathaniel's brother, Uncle Zach, both celebrated birthdays on March 29th, so this one is for them. Happy Birthday guys!!!!

Growing like weeds!

Today the babies had their 6 month check up and shots. As it turns out, both are getting plenty to eat! :) I was concerned that we weren't feeding them correctly or enough so when I asked the doctor she said "Oh, I can answer that for you really quickly...they are definitely growing so you are doing a good job!" She also mentioned how well they were doing developmentally. Both babies roll over now, Jack sits up and holds his own bottle and Bella can sit up with some help. It's only a matter of time before they are crawling! She even told us to get ready to child proof the house. Looks like pretty soon we are going to be moving Jack out of his baby carrier and into his big boy car seat too! They change everyday, so check back soon!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!

Written by Jack and Bella......
Yesterday was daddy's 28th birthday. He told mommy he had the best day ever! It was beautiful weather and he got to have some of his favorite food with his favorite babies, US! He even got time to watch a movie after we went to bed! We got daddy a Play Station 3 for his birthday which he was very excited about. Mommy helped us pick it out. Mommy got daddy Guitar Hero so that they could play it together and relive their youth. :) While we had carrots for our meal, mommy and daddy feasted on homemade meatloaf that daddy requested along with some delicious homemade Smore cupcakes, also a request from daddy. (see photo!!Mmmmm!)The day was a success! Mommy says that she isn't having a birthday this year and is going to stay 29 forever.

Happy Easter everyone!
Love~ Jack and Bella

Bring on the carrots!

Jack and Bella moved to the first of many veggies yesterday. First on the list.....carrots! As you can see, they are quite messy but both babies really enjoy them! Jack gets so excited to eat them that he whines until you get the next bite to his mouth. It can't get there fast enough. Shocking! Bella enjoys them too but doesn't quite share the same enthusiasm. Jack is also holding his own bottle when he eats some of the time. They're getting so big!

Hanging out with freinds!

Last night Nathaniel and I went out to our friend's house, Bart and Jenny. We enjoyed burgers off the grill and good talks with Bart and Jenny as well as Ryan and Jen Weldy. The best part of this story is that between the 3 couples we have 5 children! So, there were 11 people in the house. The best organized chaos I have ever seen. Good times were had by all! Bart and Jenny's older daughter Maia got to play with Ryan and Jen's little boy Carson and Jack and Bella got to lay on the floor and watch TV with their new friend Chase! It was quite a chore trying to get all 3 babies to look at the camera, so I picked the best one I could find! :) I also attached one where Nathaniel gets Bella AND Chase to smile. You can see his head in the upper right. As for Jack, he lives in his own little world. :)

Baby Pictures!

Three updates in one day! This is insanity! I just got an email from the photographer that takes the twins pictures, and she was letting me know that she put the twins in her blog. If you click on the following link, then click on the blog link at the bottom of her page you can see the twins! Just scroll down in her blog and there is a picture of them together! Pretty neat!

Half Way There!!!

To one that is......
Jack and Bella are 6 months old today. Nathaniel and I decided to set the timer on the camera this morning and capture the family before we all left for our busy days, us at work and them at "school." We can't believe that it's already been 6 months since they arrived and we are so thankful for every minute we spend with them. We couldn't imagine the impact they would have on our lives and the amount of enjoyment that we get from them. We're so thankful and happy! Enjoy the pictures!

Pictures from Iowa

I have been a slug and haven't updated this blog since Valentine's Day. So sorry! In an attempt to make up for my laziness I am making 2 updates today. Here, as promised long ago, are pictures from the twins stay with Grandma and Grandpa Norgren while Nathaniel and I were in Las Vegas. This is from the first weekend in February so thay have changed even since then!!! As you can see they had quite a good time baking cookies, helping with laundry and hanging out with their Aunt Kara who was home visiting and helping. Enjoy!
