Update on Tyler and Erin Fam

Clark and Kayloni July 2011

Mineral Lake, Mt. Rainier Scenic Railroad

So... it's only been a year since anyone published anything to our blog. Wow! A TON has happened in that time too...hence no writing on the blog. Here's what's going on with OUR family:

We moved from good ol' Albuquerque, NM to Seattle, Washington in September of 2010. Tyler is studying for a PhD in Organizational Behavior at the University of Washington. Go Huskies!http://www.washington.edu/

Ah, Washington, my home sweet home (Erin is saying this)! It's BEAUTIFUL!!! But wet. Actually, Seattle is wetter than most cities in Washington, I'm pretty sure.

Since I don't want to write everything that's happened since MAY of 2010, I'll just do a picture time-line. It's more fun than words anyway. So, here we go:

There you have it! A whole year (mostly) summed up by a few pictures. We are very blessed to have great family and friends! Maybe (who knows?) we will even post on this blog again!

Tyler's Family Having Fun!

Well, we've been trying to get out more...and testing out our new van. We took at trip with some friends up to Durango, CO (a four hour drive in our new van) to ride the coal train up to Silverton, CO. It was about a three hour train ride to and from (so six total) and we went through some beautiful country! The kids did surprisingly well. They were the best when other people would talk to them. They will be A YEAR on June 1st! I can't believe that year actually went by! It was a long one at first, but has flown by lately! Kayloni is crawling all over and Clark is working on it. He goes backwards to his utter frustration!

Well, here we go, more baby pics! It's really only fun to blog when there are cute pictures to go with it. :) We've been enjoying the lovely spring weather here in ABQ and the allergies that come along with the breezes. As I'm writing this I'm watching the babies "play together." That involves Kayloni reaching as far as she can to eat Clark's snacks instead of her own. She'll be crawling anytime now! Clark, on the other hand, is content to just sit and reach for the toys in arm's reach.

We are looking forward to a conference/Easter weekend and later a visit to all our family and friends in Provo, UT!

First time she sat up by herself!

"How can I get that camera?"

Hey there! Getting ready for Church!

Tyler and Erin Family Update

It's been a while since anything's been posted so I thought I'd post something! This is Erin, by the way. Kayloni is sitting on my lap so if things get a little weird, that's why...jn bhhh htvgf bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb. gfntnt. That's what she has to say about that! She is getting quite antsy lately and loves to play, play, play. Sometimes she plays at the expense of others (i.e. Clark).

The babies are now 9 months old (adjusted age 7 months)! At the doctor's yesterday we found out that Kayloni is now a whopping 14.8 lbs and Clark is a big 15.05 lbs! They are doing really good! The doctor did comment, however, that he was a little concerned about the size of their heads (Clark's is almost in the 90th percentile!). ??? They must be Burch babies. =) That means they'll be smart!

Tyler is busy with work and Elder's Quorum and I am busy with babies. That's about it. Enjoy the pics and hopefully the videos work.

Kayloni: "What did you say?"

Look mom, I'm trying to sit up!

Smiley Clark (dad's making him laugh as usual)

We had snow today in ABQ! A good 3 inches at our house!

Kayloni LOVES toys...even if it means getting

them at the expense of others.

Kayloni says Hi!

We've been having fun with our new camcorder! Just so happens the only thing we have to take video of is our kids! :) This video is of Kayloni. She's been trying out new noises with her mouth. Watch and see!

We had a fabulous Thanksgiving with Grandma and Grandpa Burch! Too bad time passes so quickly! This year has brought us much to be thankful for. And why not show it with more delightful pictures of the twins (our greatest blessing this year)? Hope ya'll aren't getting tired of them yet! :)

Ever wonder what goes on in their heads?

Yummy fingers!

Kayloni concerned that BYU won't win.

Clark's shirt says it all!

Barely fitting in the bouncer together.

Dancing Babes

Sorry for the sideways video. We are still learning.
