We had a fun wrestling season.  The boys worked hard and did great.  There were days they didn't want to go to practice, but always came home excited to showed me what they learned.

~BIRTHDAYS~

 Audrey is 8!!!!!

Happy Birthday Sweetheart

 November 13

 November 12

Austin and Torri are 1!!!!!!!!!! How did it go so fast? I thought being pregnant with twins would take forever, and then they were here. I blinked and they are 1!!! It's just not fair.  I love every second I have with them.  They so much fun.  Torri is walking and talking up a storm.  Austin is crawling, trying to walk, and sings.  But I already miss when they were this tiny.  Happy Birthday my Babies!!!!

 

P.S. I also had a Birthday this month.  But pictures of me aren't necessary.

Happy Halloween

 It took some work, getting all the grandkids to hold still for the Halloween picture. My parents have 5 grandkids 1 and under. They have 14, 8 boys and 6 girls.

11 MONTHS

 AUSTIN                                                                TORRI

Torri is trying so hard to walk.  She can stand up in the middle of a room and take a few steps before losing her balance.  Austin wants nothing to do with walking. He has always been very relaxed and in no hurry to get anywhere.  Currently they are both 18.1 lbs. Although Torri is about an inch taller.

10 Months

"Mom, move, we are watching Curious George."

They do really well together.  There are moments when one finally figures out they can bit the other, hit, or steal toys, but for the most part, they just know they are a packaged deal. I don't think I could love them this much separate.  I always fell guilty for holding one over the other, but love every moment I get to spend with each one on one.

Missing Friends

 We made a quick trip to Utah (12 hours exactly) a few weeks ago, to see our friends. My best friend/sister moved to Texas, June 2011. Life is just not the same without her. We decided to walk around the Zoo, so the kids and dads would have something to do.  Brad said he would leave Amy and I alone, so we could skip, hold hands and cry. We did 1 out 3.  

 I was pregnant when they left, but I didn't know yet there was two. She was the 2nd person I told the day we found out. I was very excited for her to see my twins.  

We are sisters.  1/2 a mile, or 1200 miles.  Nothing will change that.

9 Months

 I can not believe I am posting there 9 month pictures on the day they are 10 months old.  I am so behind.  I hope to get their 10 month pictures tomorrow.

 They both can crawl, sleep through the night and are really good eaters.  They both love Cassidy and Audrey.  But Tyler makes them both nervous.

 I still have them is the same crib. I can't bring myself to move them out of my room. We don't have room for another crib, so I am still not sure what we are going to do next. They are getting so big.

Catching up

 I babysat my sister, Ashley's kids,  Charly and Gavin for a week in August.  My kids are very creative and put together costumes for the Avengers.  We have 2 Captin America's and no Hawkeye. But I think my Team of Fighters is the best around.

 Welcome Little Cooper.  My baby sister, Cortney, added my nephew to our family July 12, 2012.  We are all so excited to have him here safe and sound.

 His full name is: Terry Cooper Leonardson. 

 This is our one day, quick trip to Cherry Hill, in Layton, Utah.  It was so fun and not long enough.  We said over and over how much we wished all our friends and family could be with us. That is your invite to come next year.

 Josh, Charly, Chris

The kids had fun with Brad.  He actually took a day off to come with us.  The whole day.

                                       Taylor, Hailey, and Cassidy

 The Twins stayed with cousins in Idaho, while we played in the water.  They will get to come when they are 3 years old and not a day sooner.  I don't know if I will be able to handle to toddlers. I love having them as babies still.

 Our 1st day of School.  Pretty nice weather this year.  Tyler is in the afternoon kindergraten.  All my kids come home together this year. It's fun watching 4 kids get off the bus.



Little Birds

Brad eats otter pops like one of the kids. Austin and Torri will cry if they don't get a bit. Last night Brad ate the last Popsicle and they apparently didn't get enough.  So we made a snow cone.  They didn't mind sharing with each other, but they both got mad, when Brad tried to sneak a bit in.  The cold doesn't faze them at all.  I had to give them a cracker when the Icy was gone to keep their mind off of it.
