Easter Celebration

The family headed to Sioux Falls, SD for the first time to celebrate Easter with the Murrays and Hennings. The kids met their great-grandparents and many other family members. Thanks to every one that came and visited us!

The car ride to and from Sioux Falls went very smoothly!  Only a few peeps here and there.  It was a success!

Brady's Photo Shoot (6 weeks)

Since I have so much extra time these days I decided to do my own photography work and set up a little photo shoot for the kids.  Brady went first...

Passports for the kiddos

The family will be heading north to Canada in August to visit the Murray's cabin, so we have to get passports for the little ones. I did a bit of research on the picture requirements and they seem a bit crazy to me. The kids have to have a white background with their eyes open and not crying. That sounds like quite the feat to me!

We headed to Costco and actually had a hard time waking them up. That never happens! 


Here is how they turned out...

Saint Patrick's Day

For St. Patrick's Day we went to Nani and Poppa's house to celebrate Auntie Jamie's birthday.  I dressed the kids in their best Irish gear for the occasion.

Twins Photo Shoot

The kids had their newborn photos taken at our house at 3 1/2 weeks old. Our photographer did an amazing job! She was at our place for 4 hours in our sweltering 80 degree house (so the kids stayed warm). It was a difficult task to keep the kids asleep long enough to get some great photos let alone together. These are some of my favorites from the shoot of the two of them together.

Hailey is already showing Brady who is boss!
