Blessing Day!

What a day for these two sweet baby boys!

Our family traveled from Utah and Idaho to be with us!

(notice Clara's tights are missing a leg) : )

Adam and Grandpa with Baby Brandon.

Fun fact about this day: We recorded both of the Blessings that Adam gave to the boys. They were both 5minutes 41seconds! Exactly on the dot. It's a wonderful thing to have the Priesthood on this earth to perform such special blessings. I'm thankful for the many worthy Priesthood holders in my life. Especially my amazing husband and father to my sweet children!

This picture by Tammy at the Pumpkin Patch. Clara was pulling the crooked-mouth face a lot during this time. It was so cute! Always when she was troubled, confussed or figuring something out! I love it!

Cinderella!

On Halloween day, we toughed it out in the rain for a 5k with other brave souls from our ward. Yeah, it was cold, and yeah, it was wet!!

Halloween crafts!

Clara the Pirate and Dad waiting for trick-or-treaters to come to the door. When the doorbell would ring, she would jump down, put on her pirate hat, grab the bowl of candy and wait for Adam to open the door. She would dump handfuls of candy into their buckets and say things like 'Here you go buddy-boy!' or 'Cool costume!'

Big Shister

That's what she says: "I'm the big Shister" Too cute!! She really has been so patient and loving through all of this. Her little world changing overnight. We love her so much and are so proud of the big girl she's becoming. Here are some other cute things she's been doing.

One afternoon, after her 'quiet time' (really Mommy's quiet time!) I walked in to find this! Every single one of her books out and piled on her bed!

One day after lunch, before 'quiet time', she tells me, "Mom, I'm just going to lay down for just one minute, then I'll go do my quiet time." A few minutes later, I find her sound asleep on the floor. She had gotten the blanket and pillow and layed down 'for just one minute'.

All dressed up!!

Our two boys!

Little Clara has been such a great helper! She helps by getting and changing diapers, getting bibs, burpcloths, just about anything. She'll even feed them too! (for about 5 seconds!) It's been so cute to see the 'little mother' in her.

We have a little feeding station that consists of a pillow, something to prop the pillow up and extra blanket to catch the spills, bibs, burpcloths, diapers, wipes, butt paste, WHEW!! And it goes all over the house with us!

On average, these little guys would take just about an hour to finish a bottle, then with burping, and changing diapers, we were in for hour and a half feedings. Then we would have do it again in another hour and a half. It was CRAZY!!!

With all the hard work and sleepless nights, comes that first eye contact, the snuggling, and watching these sweet babies sleep.
