Twinners!

 My little sister Hillary had her twins on Sunday morning!  Yes, my sister, who is five years younger than me has more kids than I do!

 

Knox Davis was born first and weighed 7 lb. 1 oz. and little sister Kate Susanne came shortly after weighing only 5 lb. 8 oz.

 

Kate is on the left, Knox on the right...

 

 Becca, Luke, and I drove up the Salt Lake on Sunday afternoon to visit.  They are adorable and I forgot how teeny tiny newborns are (especially since Hadley had 8 lb. 5 oz. at birth).

 



 What a cute family of four!!

Girl Time!

 Hadley and I had some super fun girl time this weekend!  Steve is in the process of finishing this killer class that has taken SO much time.  So last week we had a lot of time to ourselves.  Well, we always have alot of time just us but we tried to make it special and fun :)

On Friday we went to the library, the car wash and then to get shaved ice at our favorite place.  It was so fun to sit with Hadley for 30 minutes and listen to her talk about what was going on around her... I think she enjoyed herself...

On Saturday morning after Steve left for his review we headed up to BYU to feed the ducks and have a mini picnic!  Hadley could seriously stay here ALL day if I let her, but we could only stay for 2 hours (yea, we went through alot of bread!!).  We walked up to campus to go the bathroom and then wandered around up there for a bit.  It was definitely a fun mommy/daughter date!!

 And finally Hadley let me learn/practice how to do her hair with the flat iron.  Isn't she the cutest?!

I love every minute that I spend with this sweet girl!!

Little Friends

 Growing up I never had any cousins that I was really close with... I always thought it would be the best to have my kids be close with their cousins!  Well, my dream came true- these kiddos really are best friends!  Last week we took a break from the Utah hot summer and went to the nickelcade up in Orem.

We also have some pretty great friends that we aren't related to :)  Hadley is constantly asking to play with Decker (Dexter), Lizzie, and Daniel.  Last week we rode the bus up to BYU (Hadley has only been asking ALL summer to ride the bus up there) with them!  It was Dexter's first time on the bus and he loved it, all the kids did!!

After a yummy lunch at the Wilkinson Center we let the kids run around campus for while before getting back on the bus! 

 This week we had another playgroup at the park!  I don't know what it is about these kids and the park but everytime we go they seem to spend more time snacking than playing.  Although Hadley did enjoy the swing for like a good 45 (or so it seemed) minutes straight!!

 The drinking fountain and some sheep in a neighboring field caught their attention for awhile!

 We are lucky to have such fun friends (and cousins) who we love so much!!

Sleepover!!

 Last weekend we had Max over for a little sleepover!!  I had mentioned something to him about it quite a while ago and he had not forgotten!  This weekend was the first where we could do it so we took advantage...

The kids made their own little pizzas (with lots of help from me to control the mess!).

 Steve took them outside and of course there was absolutely no chance of of avoiding the water.  Max had no suit so he just swam in undies and Hadley was very fast to follow (she refused to put on a suit if he didn't have to).

After swimming Max and Hadley got to set up camp in the tent to watch a movie.  We made popcorn, had candy, and drank some yummy milkshakes while they watched!!

 The kids went to bed about 9 after reading lots of books and few melt downs... from both of them... about not wanting to go to bed!!  Max gets up much earlier than Hadley, he woke up at 6:30 and she woke up at 8:20, so we had to rise early :) 

After breakfast, we got all ready for the day and played for a while!! 

We had a great night but shesh, two is way harder than one!!  Makes me grateful for just my one little 2 year old right now :)
