Birthday do-over

The morning of Seth's actual birthday we were both up at 6 to work out and came home and went about our normal morning routine so we missed breakfast and presents in bed.

So I made sure we had a do-over the next day (which was a Saturday, so it worked out perfectly).

He first enjoyed breakfast in bed with his girls and then opened presents. Claire was pretty happy with hers. She picked out a mirror for the shower so he could shave. 

Then that night we had some friends over for cake and ice cream.

Leave it to our good friends Rick and Marianne to have the best present ever. They always manage to get the best regular present or white elephant. 

As you can see from the picture, Seth is almost in tears he's so happy. It was a Utah clock signed by Kyle Whittingham!!! He hung it up at work first thing Monday morning.

End of year stuff

The end of the year is such a busy time! I heard someone compare may to December with how many things there are going on and I totally agree.

(I'm still getting used to this new set up for the blog and I didn't get the pictures in the right order).

Bella had a pancake party that the twins and I got to go to. She had a great time showing them off to all her friends and having them sit with her at her desk.

Claire had a program at school for her last day. She did a great job on her part and even filled in for someone else. She got a little shy at the end and stayed on her dad's lap, but he wasn't complaining. Grandpa came to see Claire and she loved that! I had to snap a pic of Seth and Nate in their matching work clothes. I told Claire that Nate sent Seth a text that morning asking what he was going to wear that day so they could wear the same thing to the program. She believed that because, why wouldn't two adult grown men coordinate their outfits?

I can't believe this year is already over!!

Memorial Day 2012

For memorial day we spent some time in the yard and then headed over to the rec center for some swimming. To say the kids had a great time would be an understatement. They were in heaven!

Bella was a great help, taking the twins down the slide and playing with them.

We stayed 4 hours and the twins cried when it was time to go home.

Mothers Day 2012

Today was a great Mother's Day. 

It started with breakfast in bed. Claire came into our room at 6:45am and whispered in a not so quiet voice "Dad on Mothers' day they make the mom breakfast:" And he said "On Mother's Day they let the mom sleep in". So I was able to sleep for about 15 minutes before she couldn't stand it anymore and brought my the present she made at school and a few others from everyone else.

I love these girls!!!
