Baby Pictures From January

Here are the pictures that we took of the babies at JCPenny in January. On Martin Luther King Day to be exact. They did such a great job! The babies were almost 3 month old.

Valentine's Presents

Happy belated Valentine's Day to everyone. Nothing really exciting here happened on Valentine's Day. As a tradition, (started from the time I was little) usually we have a nice candle lit dinner with round steak at my parents house, but my brother was sick with the flu, so they brought it over to our house. Also as a tradition, my dad gets all the kids balloons and flowers for the girls. The kids really enjoyed their presents. Ben and Emily got two new rattles from Brandon and I, a Baby Einstein Video from Grandma and Grandpa Broderick. Hyrum got the Doc and Sally from the movie Cars from Brandon and I as well as a Little Einstein DVD and coloring book from Grandma and Granpa Broderick.

Ben and Emily love the balloons! The two of them just sit there and stare or watch as Hyrum runs through the house holding on to the balloons. Hyrum loves Little Einsteins so this movie and coloring book was a big hit! He also loves his Cars and has been playing with them almost constantly.

Brandon and I are going to the Stake Valentine's Dance tonight for our V-day celebration. We are really looking forward to it. We have gone the pass two years and have really enjoyed it.

My three silly kids (yes, Hyrum's hair is wild, I am learning how to
cut his hair tommorrow at Enrichment. I am really excited, hopefully it will go well).

Naked Ben

Yes..she is a diva!

Hyrum trying to be like the big kids at Lisa's

The story of my life. I am getting good at holding both.

I am quite talented.

Hyrum's new favorite hidding place!

Hyrum has found a new place to hide. It is in the dryer! What a silly boy! I started to fold some laundry that was in the dryer, left for a minute to take care of one of the babies, came back and there he was. I have no idea where he got the idea (I really wonder sometimes what he is thinking). It was so cute, I had to get a picture!

Emily and her bows!

I have recently been able to figure out how to keep the bows in Emily's hair. As a result, I have been putting a bow in her hair almost every day. Hyrum has noticed these bows and likes them. When he first saw them, he wanted both Ben and Emily to wear them. Hyrum and I have been having discussions why Emily gets to wear the bows, but Ben doesn't. I am not sure if it is really clicking, since for the most part he refers to both of them as Ben (he has just started to call her his version of the name Emily). Any time he sees a bow, he tries to put it in her hair. One time, he found the bottle of bows that the NICU gave me for her and as a result...see pictures below.
