Around the house

I've run out of cute "twin" type titles for my random pictures...so here they are



First time they all took a bath at the same time.  The twinners are sitting up so well these days.  (The babes are blurry, but at least Autumn is covered in this shot!)
Autumn loves dress up these days, especially that read dress grandpa Brian brought back from Spain.  Dad gets to read stories, while I put the twins to bed and do the dishes and I sing her songs and give her cuddles while Evan goes to the gym.
Pre-Easter Sunday


Check out the height on that mohawk
Autumn refused to take pictures with the twins because she wanted all of them to sit on the couch.  I let her wear an ugly sweater to cute and black tights instead of her white ones.  I wasn't going to let her get her way with pictures too.

Villian Violet at it again eating one of Autumn's toys.
Monster Maverick
Autumn  not afraid to take pictures anymore...and almost always only half dressed.  She often switches clothes throughout the day because her other clothes got "sweaty".

Road Trip

I was planning on taking the kids to Utah since Evan's schedule is a little heavier in March.  I also wanted to visit some friends, family, find a used double stroller for the kids, go clothes shopping, and get portraits taken of the kids.  Well last minute my niece and nephew's dad was finally letting them get baptized so we combinded our Utah trip with a South West trip as well.  The first leg to pick up Evan's sister was pretty rough...Maverick cried for several hours.  The second leg to AZ was even worse.  The next couple legs were better with better timing of naps and bed time.
I stuck the twins in the way back so no adults had to sit up there.  It made things interesting when I wanted to take them out of there seats...through the back of the car.

enjoying the perfect AZ weather.

Maverick enjoyed his scooter ride with aunt Meagan.
Autumn giving the clippy girls a ride on the bike.



On our way to Utah we stayed in a hotel in Kanab.  I went go get something and when I returned Autumn had snuggled up to Violet in bed with her. 
Autumn the only one who got to enjoy the soaking tub at the hotel.
One of the best parts of the trip happened waiting in a parking lot.  I taught Autumn how to play line tag (which she kept calling LION tag) while the twins watched.

My BFF came buy and brought her man child.  He is 5 weeks younger than the twins and has about 6 pounds on Maverick.
And apparently he's a bully too.
My "little" brother works at LDS media something or other.  We toured the lot where they shoot lots of historic movies.
Autumn said, "I want to do a frown-ie face"


Hanging out with our friends from WY that moved to Utah.

Great-Grandpa Sune.
I celebrated the big 2-8 in Utah.  I took myself (and 3 kids) shopping at the outlets.  Then we had a picnic with JDawgs yum!





Both babies are like their dad and can't possible look anywhere near the sun.

Autumn being helpful.  All I wanted for my birthday was a costco chocolate cake...Hannah delivered




Noah took us on a hike.  He has Violet on his back.  Autumn even earned her "pee in the woods" merit badge.
Hanging out at University Villa where Evan and I met...and where Uncle Noah now lives.

We stopped by my Aunt's place on our way out of town.  These two 9 year old twin boys were so cute with Autumn.  They also taught me that they hate sharing a birthday because they have to share a cake.  Noted get two cakes.
