The babies are 2 months already!!!  I seriously can't believe how fast time flies.  It makes me a little sad.  They have been so much fun.  I think that I was so stressed and expecting the worst when I was pregnant.  So now, it has made real life seem quite easy. It helps that they are both good babies and that I have lots of help.  My older boys have really stepped up and helped out a lot and I really couldn't do it without such an amazing husband.  

Most nights the babies are sleeping a 5 hour stretch from 10-3, so that's awesome.  Totally doable!!  I really thought I was going to be a walking zombie after two months.  There are benefits to me not nursing.   I don't have all of their statistics and stuff, but they are doing well and both will give you a smile. Although they are a little harder to coax one out of than I remember my other kids being.  Here's a couple of pictures I snapped of them this morning.  And a few others from their lifetime.

A fun little matching outfit I stole from pinterest.

I couldn't get very good pictures between the wind and her wiggling.  She was feeling the beat the whole time she was out there.  She shook her groovy thing whether it was her turn to dance or not.  

Saturday we headed down to see some of the sites that I'm embarrassed to say I've never seen in all my years of living in San Juan County.  Our first stop was Sand Island and the Petroglyphs.  

I think this picture is classic.  Steve's comment, "Really, I have to put up with this already?"  I think he is actually with me though and loves that Bronsen has an affinity towards music of all kinds.  

Kids were all about pictures this day! 

After a picnic we planned to let the kids swim in the river for a while. We weren't thinking about the fact that it has rained quite a bit lately and the river was moving a little more than we anticipated.  Of course we didn't think about bringing life jackets, but they had fun even if we didn't let them get in too far.  

Then it was on to a drive through Valley of the Gods and Goosenecks State Park.  

Monday was spent at Foy Lake picnicing and fishing.  Parker caught the first fish right off the bat.  

Steve missed a lot of bites, but I think he pulled in a few.  

And Bronsen found his sweet spot as well where he snagged a few.  

 Bronsen showed his pig well, and placed in the middle.  That's kind of where we were hoping/expecting to be.  He did well.  

A big thanks to John Deere, Cortez for buying Bronsen's pig and to Grandpa and Grandma Snyder along with Scott Mahaffey for buying Parker's!  I was seriously amazed at all of the hard work and effort so many people put into the fair.  They all had such a desire for these kids to have a good time and do well.  It's a great program that I'm sure we'll be a part of for a very long time to come.  

When they weren't busy with pigs, they were busy enjoying the inflatable playground!

In June Steve had some training in Boulder, CO so I tagged along and had a little fun.  We golfed a couple of courses there, one of which was so beautiful I'm sure we'll be back.  

 Steve and the boys have been building model rockets all spring and we finally found a day that wasn't so windy and let them off. 

Only 1 Lake Powell trip this year. I only got a few pictures before I bailed, but look at that nice Catfish that Parker snagged!

 We did a lot of baseball. It's fun watching how much the boys improve year to year.  Parker was officially in machine pitch and did great.  He's an agressive little player and will play anywhere he gets to touch the ball the most, so he's thinking maybe catcher.  We'll see!

Bronsen wanted to play pitcher and 3rd this year.  At the end of the year tournament he pitched the 2nd game and had his best pitching game ever.  These little boys are sure growing up.  

 Our little team came out 4th.  They got a metal and everyone went home happy.  (We hope!)

In July we headed up "north" to find a bigger ride for our growing family.  I was determined to do a few fun things while we were there.  So we headed to the zoo.   

 I love this picture!

She's been called a monkey more than once in her life, but doesn't quite measure up to an orangatang. 

This drinking fountain is what I have memories of when I was about 5.  

How do you cap off a day at the zoo?  Chucky Cheese's of course!!!  My kids love this place.  

Brittney and Zeb invited all of us up to Twin for a family campout.  We were sad that everyone wasn't able to come, but for those of us that did, we had a good time.  

Grandpa gave Sienna the end of the melon and she was in heaven.  

Steve took over Cole's sleeping spot for an afternoon nap.  

 We painted some pottery. 

 The highlight for my kids is always the horse rides.  They all love to ride horses, but Bronsen especially.  I'm amazed at the natural confidence he has on them.  I don't know where he gets it since he only gets to ride a couple times a year.  But he loves it!!

For the 4th of July we headed to the Pick N Hoe in Dove Creek.  The kids got lots of candy at the parade. 

It was super fun to have Mark and Madison here to visit.  

Then we headed over to the games to get more than a little dirty!

There was a life flight helicopter that flew in and the kids got to climb inside and check it out.  They thought it was pretty cool.  Hopefully it's the only time any of them ever see the inside of one!

And the fireworks!  I didn't get many pictures, but this is my favorite part of the the 4th, and my favorite part of the fireworks is cuddling with my family.
