Loved it...

Kev and I went and saw Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince last night. Thank you Nancy and Nicole for taking the twins so we could. It was the first movie we have gone to since they were born. Anyway, we loved it and were sad when it ended. It just makes me want to read the books again. It is so hard when the book is so full of detail, but I thought they did a great job.


My favorite is seeing these three together. Their chemistry is awesome and it has been fun seeing them grow up together. I think they get their characters just right.


I can't wait until the next one.

Fourth of July Fun!

At the last second we decided it would be fun to go to Idaho for the fourth. All of Kev's brothers were going to be in town and it had been a while since we had seen them. We flew to Salt Lake City Thursday night and the babies did great. I was very impressed with how well they did. Kevin's aunt Barbie was kind enough to pick us up from the airport and let us stay with her for the night. It was great catching up with them. Thanks Youngs! The next morning Kevin's dad came and drove us up to Rigby, where Kevin's family live. The twins got to meet their only cousins, Kaitlyn and Allyson. It was so fun to have them altogether, they are just two months younger than Allyson. We had a nice weekend catching up with friends and family, watching fireworks and relaxing. However, we learned very quickly 3 month olds and parades do not go together, Ty and Gracie hated the Menan parade, but did well at the fireworks. It was a great first family vacation!

Happy Fathers Day Daddy!

Dear Daddy,

This is our first Fathers Day together and we wanted you to know how special you are! We love you so much! We couldn't ask for a better daddy. Ever since we came out of mommy you have been there to take care of us. You play with us, you make us laugh, you bathe us. Sorry for all those times you had to get up with us at night in the first few weeks of our life. We just needed to eat so bad and mommy couldn't do it without you. You are always so kind and give us what we need. Thank you so much for making our first three months of life the best we could have ever hoped for. Have a great fathers day daddy! We love you so much!

lots of love with kisses and hugs,

Gracie and Ty

P.S. Sorry about all those times I sprayed you when I got in the bath, I can't help it, it is so warm. --TY

It was beautiful...

The most beautiful blessings.

Three Generations.

Our family of four.

Friends and Family.


On Sunday June 7th Tyler and Gracie were blessed by their daddy at church. It was perfect. I have waited for this day for quite awhile. I don't know how many times over the last few years I thought about my future baby's blessing. Little did I know it would be future babies blessing. It was such a special, spiritual moment for them, one never to be forgotten. I am so thankful for Kevin, he is such a wonderful man, whom I don't often deserve. The blessings were absolutely beautiful. Both were different and unique in their own way. I was crying from the beginning, I wasn't expecting that to happen. Ty and Gracie both did great, Ty even fell asleep by the end. They are such amazing babies. We love them so much and are so thankful for the joy they have brought us. It was a day filled with the spirit and lots of love. Thank you to those who shared it with us.

Growing, growing, growing...

We have had quite the busy month, but have had lots of fun watching Ty and Gracie grow. They are doing so well and we fall in love with them more and more each day. We feel so blessed to have them in our lives. There are just too many pictures to choose from so enjoy our slide show of pics from the month.

Trip to Oregon

We took our first trip together as a family of four this past weekend. My brother Nick was in town visiting from California and my sister Melissa came up from Eugene. Ty and Gracie did extremely well and we enjoyed having them meet family and friends. Thanks to all who came and saw them.
