Noah (L) Dylan (R) A classic twin picture


Dyllie (yes, he's having a good time. It's just hard to tell sometimes!)

Noah could swing for hours

Dylan could swing for hours too..........but he starts to get tired!

Monozygotic (Identical) VS. Dizygotic (Fraternal)

We all want to know!! I ordered a Zygosity (DNA) test today!! It's done through the mail....the company sends 10 swabs per baby. I will swab their cheeks and mail it back. We'll know the results in 7-10 days!! Well......I will at least!!! I'm not telling until their 1st birthday party! So I hope everyone can make it to their party on October 13Th.

Starting A Blog

I decided to start a blog to keep in touch and keep everyone updated. I hope a blog will keep us better connected and keep everyone up to date. It seems like the boys do new things everyday and I want everyone to know!!


This past year has been a blur for me to say the least! Noah and Dylan are growing up so fast. I can't believe they are almost 1!! Lately I have been remembering little moments that happened this time last year. Mostly just after the boys were born but somethings during the end of the pregnancy. (I was pretty miserable towards the end) I think the thing I miss the most is just being able to hold them and snuggle. I miss them sleeping on my shoulder and wanting to be held.



I could not have survived the past year with out the help of others. Adam is the best dad to the boys. He has helped more than most dads probably do. He did a lot of middle of the night feedings. My mom stayed with us every night for about 3 months!! I would have got no sleep without her!! It took 1 hour to feed them in the beginning and they ate every 2 hours. My parents and sister also kept the boys overnight a bunch to give us a break. Gram and Papa came during the day for a while and have done lots of babysitting. Adam's grandpa Jack came and helped feed during the day also. Diane, Russ, Keller, and Lily have babysat quite a few times while I worked on Saturdays. My Grandpa tought them to drive his wheel chair!! (sitting on his lap of course) Aunt Amy has come over to hang out and give me some much needed company many times. She was brave once and babysat by herself. Unfortunately, the boys both had blow outs that required a bath, carpet scrubbing, and a small load of laundry!! LOL! Sorry Amy, but it still makes me laugh to think of that night! Thank you to everyone that has helped us out during the past year. Don't know where we would be without our family and friends!
