The Twins are Here!







Charly and Hallie arrived on Sunday, December 20, 2009 around 7:30p.m. They weighed in at 3lbs. 12oz. (Charly) and 3lbs. 6oz. (Hallie). Charly is bigger than Hallie, but Hallie is longer than Charly. They are both doing well and breathing on their own. Charly has lots of dark hair and Hallie has some lighter hair. They are so cute and little. We are so excited that they made it here okay. Darcy is very worn out, but happy and Ty can't hide his smile. They make such a cute little family of four. Congrats Ty and Darcy! We are so happy for you. We hope you all can come home soon.

Smile!

Great new smile!

It has been so fun to see Jace develop his own little personality. My favorite lately is he loves to laugh really loud and smile or "cheese" as he calls it.

Garret on the job

Here is the video the they are sharing at all the high schools in Utah about not texting while driving. Garret is a star actor in the film. Just kidding. But it does show him a lot on the job. He is pretty excited about it.

Everyone please be careful while driving and do no text!

Sand and Water table


Jacer loves his new sand and water table. He is always wanting to play with dirt and water so I knew that he would love this. We have been needing something to occupy him so that he will stay out of the road while we work in the yard. This is portable and seems to be the ticket.

Jace's favorite chair

I got his old baby chair out for my nephew a while ago and Jacer thinks is it great. It has become his chair to watch movies and sometimes sneak a little nap in.Posted by Picasa

AAAHHHH!

One of Jace's new favorite things is to make this really funny aaaahhh sound. (I can't believe I actually caught him doing it with my slow camera.)

He can be sweet


Jacer is definitely in the terrible twos! He is giving us a run for our money, but he is also couldn't be more fun. He loves to be outside and will fight you to the bitter end if you make him go back inside. We have had fun working out in the yard. He of course is a very big helper. I have found the trick to keeping him out of trouble is to give him a bucket with lots of treasures to carry around. He will play for hours with it adding rocks, dirt, and whatever else he can find.

Park City Vacation

Last week we were able to go on vacation to Park City for a week. It was so much fun. There is nothing better than relaxing and shopping (at least for me) for a whole week. I was even able to do a little scrapbooking. Of course Garret was very excited to go because is just happened to be when the NCAA tournament was going on. Garret's family was able to come up and spend a couple of days with us. We had a blast hanging out, swimming, shopping, and eating.

Jeff and Jill invited everyone over for dinner one of the nights. It was very delicious and tons of fun to be together. Thank you Jill for the yummy dinner. Jeff has quite the little (actually huge) set up at his house. Jace loved seeing all his toys and animals. While the rest of us tried to hide how jealous we all were of his great house and yard.

Here are some pictures from our trip:

Jacer sporting his sweet sunglasses.

Jace loved swimming in the heated pools even when it was snowing all around us.

I can never get enough kisses!




We made several Slurpee runs. Jace especially liked it when he could hold it himself.

Splashing in the tub with Preslie.

Jacer and Preslie having a ball in the tub.

Jace had to ride a cart every time we walked out in the halls. Preslie enjoyed the sweet rides also. Jacer also thought that he was in charge of pushing all of the buttons on the elevators. He would say star (which was by the lobby button) every time we would get on the elevators.

Cheap entertainment.

Jace and Garret watching "Bolt" Jacer's new favorite movie.

Jace was restless the one night so we took him to Petco to see the animals. He thought it was the best thing. He would run from the fish tanks, to the birds, to the hamsters until they closed and kicked us out.

Jacer thinks that there is nothing better than being naked or "nannied" as he says. He spent a lot of hours naked on our vacation.
Some other sweet details for our trip:
Garret was on a mission to come home with all clean clothes. Thanks to a washer and dryer in our room this was an easy thing. Even though I had bought some laundry soap he insisted on taking the soap from the cleaning carts. He found it to be such a thrill. He almost got caught several times. I can't even imagine where he got that from.
The hotel had activities planned all day long every day. We took Jacer into the activity room several times. He loved the bean bags and toys they had for little tots. Every time we had to go we would leave with him kicking and screaming all the way to the room. (something he is very good at right now)
Since neither of us ski we decided to go watch other people ski instead. It was so fun to watch them go off the big jumps. It is quite a site to see all of the ski slopes lit up at night. I tried to take a picture but it didn't turn out.
We had a great vacation and it has been hard to get back to reality.

Jacer's haircut

Jace was long overdue for a haircut. He hates clippers so that is why we put it off for so long. With some help from my cousin we managed to give him a cute little boy haircut. I can't believe how old it makes him look. He is growing up way too fast! Lately he has become quite the talker. We have been enjoying all the silly things that he says. Sometimes it even sounds like he is cussing under his breath. He gets that from his dad! :)


Winter Wonderland!

Every morning I love to look at the trees in our yard and all down the street. They are so pretty with every branch covered in frost. The other morning Jace and I braved the cold to take some pictures.
