Trim

A little while ago, we went down to St. George, and Drew did some work on my brothers house.

Here is the trim around the windows.

Drew also did beautiful wainscoting down their hallway, but I need Michael to send me finished pictures of that.... K Mike?

Doesn't your heart just melt seeing that picture with Caesar in it!? Darling!

Camera

We invested in a camera, in hopes of being able to further promote our work.

We purchased a Nikon D90. Wow, there are a lot of buttons. Figuring out the manual mode has been challenging and fun.

These are some pictures I took at work the other day, when we were able to go out and enjoy the awesome weather.

If anyone has any advice on camera settings, functions and lenses, I would love to hear some advice. I'm not going to be a photographer, but nice pictures of our lives and work will be needed.

Can't get enough of this dog!

So, here's to clearer, brighter, sharper blog posts!

I LOVE My Job!

I really cannot say that enough!

Especially when babies can start holding their own bottles?!

Baby Claire looks like a giant baby next to her sisters! She loves her babies.

Does it get cuter? Snuck in to make sure babies were asleep.

Kate was passed out! So cute, I almost can't stand it.

Kate catching up on some light reading before her nap.

Excuse me?

Lillian having a very detailed conversation with me on why she loves her lambie.

So snuggly.

Kate just can't get enough of Runaway Bunny.

Baby prison! How could you not love your job? I will gladly take them all home thank you!

Out of My Sight.

This is what happens when you let twins out of your sight for literally no longer then 1 minute.

They work fast!

Baby Palooza!

Things are never dull with my job, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Here is Claire feeding her baby. She's a natural.

Claire with all of her babies.

Claire found that baby sister Mary made an excellent feeding station. Mary didn't seem to mind.

Lots of babes.

3 girls 20 months apart! Does it get any cuter?!

A Post of Random...

During such a sad week, I couldn't have been more grateful for my job. Showing up every morning to these faces was perfect.

Kate learned a cool new party trick two binki's at once.

Just loungin' against the coffee table, no big deal.

Then learned how to put socks on.

Lilly joined in on this fun.

Mary telling Amelia not to be such a noisy eater.

Be still.

Drew partied so hard that he slipped into a chocolate milk slumber. So precious.

Guilty Pleasures

I'm a nerd... I love gadgets... Even more then gadgets themselves, I love reading about them. I blame my mother...

That is why I LOVE this magazine. Which are something else I love. MAGAZINES!! Where else would you be able to read all about the pros and cons of a tiny iPhone projector?

Why do you need a tiny iPhone projector? I don't know, but I want one!

Another magazine of choice I love is Women's Health along with Shape and Fitness magazine! It's hard to justify buying all those magazines, they start to add up. For two years I have been begging Drew for subscriptions to some of them. (They Incredibly cheaper that way!) But for some reason whenever my birthday or Christmas roll around and he asks me what I want, I can NEVER remember to ask for a subscription. Why is this? Hmm...

Anyway..... The BEST magazine is the Consumer Reports magazine. I don't like to buy anything without studying it. Drew thought I was bizarre that I would research something so thoroughly like a vacuum or bathroom cleaner. But this magazine is my buyers bible! I LOVE it! Everything about it makes me happy!

Onto the next! I find myself taking all of my pictures from my phone. This could be due to the fact that a certain someones dog chewed my camera... (My dog... It was my dog! I can just hear the gasp that my mom just made as she read that! She gave us the camera as a wedding present. In my defense....What dog chews a camera??!!) I digress, so along with taking pictures from my phone I love all the apps available to edit pictures! Just to add something different to your pictures!

Like make Caesar's picture into a polaroid.

Or this one that looks like you are actually using an old Hipstamic camera.

It reminds me of looking through my Granny and Grandpa's old photo albums.

And those are some of the things I'm obsessed with right now! Whew... Feels good to get that out in the open!

Swings...

Did you ever think about the benefit of the things you played with, or want your kids to play with? Well in my major we study about the development of the brain. And I have always taken a special interest in why and how children learn. Fascinating information can be found in the simplest things. Swings...

Swings are a great developmental tool. Many people put their babies in swings to calm them down, people usually don't know that it soothes babies because the rocking, swinging motion releases endorphins in the body. When kids get older the develop gross motor skills learning how to balance and manipulate multiple parts of the body at the same time. While developing fine motor skills at the same time such as grasping the swings chain. Children who play in swings also do better in school because they learn to focus on an object that moves away and towards them. Which helps them focus on a chalkboard.

Those are just a few of the great things about swings. Anyway that's just what I think about while at playgrounds! Little treasures from my brain for you to have! You're welcome, ha!

Twins

Is there a way to put in a special request for twins? Because I want....

Lilly and Kate

Kate and Lilly

Mary and Amelia! Two cute!
