I think snorkeling was a success!

Great spot for napping:)

Our family vacation this year was one week in Guam. We stayed at the Pacific Island Club Resort and had a great time. The beach was one of many activities that we liked to do during the week. The boys learned how to snorkel and enjoyed finding colorful fish!
The water was warm and clear. The twins liked digging in the sand and checking out the water. Nixon even caught a nap at the beach our first day there :)
Stay tuned for more of our trip...

I have always wanted twins















After the bath- we have the most gorgeous kids.

I still have to pinch myself when it comes to the twins. I have always wanted twins. In fact, when I was probably 8 or so I asked for twin boy dolls for Christmas. 
I got 2 cabbage patch boy dolls and named them Sam and Matthew.
 I don't know why I was so lucky to actually get twins, but I am not complaining! (Our dr. told us that since we got pregnant naturally with twins, that if we got pregnant again there would be an 85% chance that it would be twins again..... But we think 4 kids is plenty!)


Bath time is one of the activities that is extra fun with twins. They splash and play together and just look so cute!
They are at a fun age where they like to show off. One will start splashing and so the other one has to. Nixon will go on his tummy and pretend to swim, then Cooper has to do it too!
I am cherishing these last few months (?) where I can still carry both of them at the same time. They both fit snuggly on my lap and love to play with my hair. 

I think Ashton and Weston have really enjoyed each having a baby to play and help with.
The other night, Tommy had to work late. At 7:30 I announced that I was putting the twins to sleep and then I would get the older boys a snack. Without hesitation, Ashton picked up Nixon and said that he would carry him to his crib (Tommy and I each take a baby at night and put them to bed). Ashton carried Nixon to the nursery, turned on their glow mobiles and ocean sound maker, laid Nixon in his crib and covered him up. I was so impressed with how responsible he was. And thankful that Tommy is a good and active dad that teaches our kids by example.

Every day I look at our kids-all 4 of them- and smile with joy. 
We have been blessed beyond words!

Weston-kun's pre-school graduation



















Weston and Nina--Nina will go to preschool with Weston again next year :)


Thursday, Weston graduated from his first year of preschool. With him having a summer birthday, we will send him to another year of preschool (that way he will be the oldest in his class).
The presentation was great and Weston's teachers all worked really hard to make the day special.
After the actual graduation, we made our way out to Perry field where there was lunch, drinks and a bouncy house. We visited and played with friends and enjoyed the warm weather. 
That afternoon Weston had soccer but he was so worn out from graduation that he just watched most of the class :)
