Henry and Hudson are three months old today... I try to take their "Birthday" pics each month on the 18th and this is the first time I've actually done it on the right day. Last month I never even got Henry's done. I'd post them here but somewhere in the move I misplaced my camera charger/dock and my laptop won't read my card...so no pics today. I got some cute ones though! I finally had the thought to take a picture of Braeden and Bronwyn holding Henry and Hudson...my big twins holding my little twins. Ahhh..
Tonight was the open house at Julius's school. I left Tony home with all the kids and had an hour of semi-adult interaction. It was nice to learn more about what he's doing at school and such. I've really felt like an idiot lately concerning his school stuff. I didn't realize he was supposed to be taking his "homework" back to school (yes - I know, how stupid can I be?!) and then he brings home a share bag and I've got no clue what to do with it. He threw in his favorite toy - Godzilla - and took it to school. Hope that works Mrs. Henry! I found out later that the instructions were inside the bag in a zippered pocket. Much to obvious for me to figure out! She's going to have to spend as much time teaching me as teaching Julius...
We're still working on getting settled in to our new house. Our new ward is awesome...we've had such a warm welcome. I'm excited to get to know everyone better.
Well...I've got a lot of emotions running through me right now so if this post is scatterbrained, whiney, and irrational - forgive me. Hopefully we'll have pictures sometime soon!

We've been busy!

Hudson on the left - Henry on the right


So during the last two weeks my computer has been down, I've had pneumonia, Julius started school and we moved back to Boise. WHEW!

We made it and we are loving our new house. It's all on one level and much less chaotic. I didn't think I was going to survive - but with help from our friends and family we made it and I couldn't be happier. I will really miss our old ward... but I feel really good about our move.
I discovered that our neighboor three doors down has a son in Julius's class at school and that we go to the same church. They recruited several men to help us with our move AND she took my three big kids for a couple of hours while we got everything unloaded. What a sweetheart! Another great blessing is that Julius gets to ride the bus...YAY! That sure takes a lot of work off of my plate. He is really loving school and came home today and wrote nearly every lettter of the alphabet...each on a separate piece of paper!

The babies are getting big and smiling so much. I can't help but smile at their sweet little faces! I'll try to update some more real soon...

Julius's First Day of School

Julius started school on the 25th... what a sweet day. He really loves school and his teacher Mrs. HENRY. We had a good laugh about that one! I love watching him come out of class at noon with a huge grin on his face...it's priceless!

The Wedding

David and Ginny Sommerville

It was a crazy busy weekend...but the wedding was wonderful. They make such a cute couple don't ya think? The just seemed so incredibly happy. I'm glad we were able to be there for their special day...Congrats Mom and David!

Bronwyn got to hold the boquet for a few minutes...she felt like a princess.

The car...it caused a bit of controversy - but we had fun!

Hope you have a great honeymoon...call us when you finally get to Alaska...miss you already!

Our Family...believe me this IS the best picture we got...trying to take a family picture is war around here...
My mom and her fiance David came for the weekend - don't they look great?! I was really looking forward to this day...Henry and Hudson were given a name and a blessing (similar to a christening in other religions) by their father at church this past Sunday. It was everything I hoped it would be. They looked so sweet in their white outfits and Tony gave them each a very special blessing. I love to hear Tony bless our children...I'm glad I have a husband who holds and honors the Priesthood of God. Thank you Tony.

I am so pleased to have these special babies in our family. They are truly individuals and I love each of our children with all my heart. I am humbled by my responsibility as their mother...I pray each day that I will be strong and valiant - as my own mother was and is - so that I can teach them by word and by example. I thank my Heavenly Father for giving us this opportunity.

Asleep at the Sill

The kids were SO tired tonight...they didn't get naps and threw a fit at bedtime. About 10 minutes after Bronwyn was put to bed screaming Tony opened the door to find her sound asleep like this:
Somehow she opened the window and my best guess would be that she was crying out into the street to anyone who would listen...my neighboors had to love that!
Sweet dreams my girl!
