Babyland

 Heres my littles.....

 This is what I see while sitting in the rocking chair... babyland!

Lydia loves her baths from start to finish...

Matthew loves his bath so much that he hates to get out!

Great grandma Rigby has the magic touch......This is her first time holding the twins.

She is so good at calming babies and always has been.

Lake time!

Heres the boys looking for carp again. This is one of their favorite things to do at the lake!

 They hunted till it was dusk.

 The water is really high at Bear Lake this year. Here you can see its almost all the way up to our private beach.

 This is Bryce, Robert and Ben riding the tube. They were having a contest to see who could stay on the longest.

 They like to taunt the boat captain with ugly ballet moves like this....

 So, the captain gives them this....

 and this...

 and this...

 Here is Alison performing some water ballet for us!

Bryce and Ben on the fishing boat. He shuttled us back and forth to our boat.

The water was really cold, which we expected but we still had a blast!

Benny

We got Benny this sweet suit the other day. He looks great in it! Its amazing how it seems like my sons turn from boys to men when they get their first suit! Maybe its because I know that its the beginning of good-bye? Having my kids grow up and leave is really hard on me. I sure wish I could turn back the clock!

New Toy

This is Bryces newest toy. He found this awesome little fishing boat on KSL classifieds. He was lucky to be the first caller and bought it right away. The seller was really bummed when he picked it up because he'd had tons of calls on it and one guy even offered him almost twice what Bryce paid! Bryce got a GREAT deal and is thrilled!

 Here are the boys going out on Mantua Lake while Amber and I were chilling on the grass with the babies.

One cool thing about this little fishing boat is that it is flat bottomed, so it can come clear up to our beach and will ferry us out to our water skiing boat at Bear Lake! Well,.. it will ferry all of the "princesses" that dont want to get cold wading out to the boat anyway! And, for the record, Im NOT one of the princesses! Im not afraid of cold water! :)

I love this cute boat, its clean and roomy and we are all going to have a blast with it this summer!

Twenty-nine

Bret and I have been married for twenty-nine years as of May 27th 2011. He is what I call a

"home run"! A fabulous husband and father and grandpa! Plus hes extremely handsome!

 These are the flowers he had delivered to me. They were gorgeous! Love him, love him, love him!

Theyre Home!

Both of the babies are home now. This is Lydia on her way home. She went home two weeks before Matthew. The photo is from a phone camera, so its a little blurry.

 

Here is Matthew. He had to have oxygen for a couple weeks.

If a baby stays in the NICU 100 days or longer they get a cake when they go home.

 Getting his last check-up.

 Matthews entourage, including Bret and me. The nurses have to take them out and put them in the car.

It takes a village to buckle him in! :)

We are so happy to have them both home. Its tons of work, but well worth it!

Graduation!

On Wednesday June 1st  2011 Benny graduated! Here he is giving his name.
