Updated picture of my kids. Aren't they just so cute. Rhett (on the left) is just starting to smile. We have no idea who are boys look like. If you can see something we can't please let us know. As far as we know, the boys were our eggs. Hahaha



Naomi just started an all day preschool that's held once a week. We thought it would be a great idea for her to get used to being away from home for an extended period of time. In the Fall is goes to 3 days a week. I hope I don't sound like a bad mom, but it's wonderful having Naomi gone for the day. It's amazing how much stuff I can get done when she is at school.

Life with three kids

This is a typical Sunday morning for us. It would explain why we are so late to church every week.

Mt Charleston

Mt Charleston Hotel had a small "Welcome Summer" Carnival this past weekend. We thought it would be a great idea to take the kids out and see how they do in the cooler weather. Naomi had a great time with her friends .


This is their idea of a petting zoo. I guess they don't have much to compete with if you've ever been to Las Vegas' zoo. Hahaha!!


They had free pony rides for the kids. I think Mike had to pry Naomi off the horse after her 2 or 3 ride. She loved it!!


We had a small picnic on the mountain and the girls loved to play around and get dirty.

The boys seemed to enjoy the being outside. Benny, however protested a little when it was time to clean up and go home. We're sure glad they enjoy the outdoors.

It's been FOREVER - I know!!

Our boys are now 2 months old! I can't believe that it is going so fast.

So I've recently realized (with the help of a few people) that it's been a month since I last posted anything on our blog. I hope having 2 babies at home is a good enough excuse. With little sleep, feedings ever 2.5 hours, doctors appointments, Naomi to play with, a house to keep, laundry, a husband to feed, oh and don't forget the 10 min just to take a shower, I really don't have a whole ton of extra time on my hands. But who does, really, especially when you have a new baby. I guess I really forgot what it was like to have a baby, let alone two, and what it is like to be couped up at home. The best part of the day is when we get the courage to venture out, it takes 1 hour to feed the boys, and get them dressed, then Naomi and I get ourselves ready. Once the boys are packed up and ready to go, I've run up and down the stairs 3 times b/c I forgot something, Naomi finally finds her shoes, and we're out the door, one of the boys has a blow out. So we unload everyone and start all over. If you've never had a kid, it's hard to believe that it can take 3 hours just to get to the store. We won't talk about what its like once you are there. So, Naomi and I have come up with really fun things to do while we are at home.

Rhett

Bennett

About 3 weeks ago, a good friend of mine took some AWESOME pictures of Rhett and Bennett. Here are a few of my favorites. If you are looking for a really good photographer who doesn't cost an arm and a leg, give Juliette Holmes a call, she's great!!!

Naomi really enjoys having the boys home. Her new thing is picking them up and carrying them to a different place. Whether they are sleeping or not. She's always asking to carry one of them. Sitting and hold just isn't good enough for her anymore. She is a really big help, and it would be near impossible for me not to have her around.

Naomi is such a helper that she'll even wake up in the middle of the night and want to help with the feedings. This is not my idea, but what can I do. So the other day she told me that she just wanted to go read her books for a little while. After about 10 minutes, I went up to check on her and this is what I found. I guess even the night feedings are hard on her too.

This is our very special doctor who saved our little family. If anyone needs a referral, Dr. Wilkes is the guy. It was sad to say goodbye to him, but that just means that I'm healthy and can lead a normal life again. Whatever normal means.
