Babies Growing.....

(Afton is in the light pink with blue bow, Lilly is in the darker pink with pink bow)

Our cute little babies are already growing so much. I took them in today for a weight check.
Here is their weight timeline-
Lilly: March 25th (day born)- weighed 3 lbs 9 oz
April 9th (2 weeks old)- 4 lbs and 4 oz
April 21st (almost 4 weeks)- 5 lbs
I think it is hilarious that Lilly has basically gained a can of your favorite soft drink in about 12 days. Yahoo!

Afton: March 25th- 4 lbs 14 oz
April 9th- 5 lbs 3 oz.
April 21st- 6 lbs 7 oz.
Afton is our chunky baby. I know compared to most babies her age she is incredibly small but next to her sister she is the chubby one :)

They are doing great and we love having them home. Even though they have only been home for about 12 days it is hard to imagine we never had them. They still sleep a lot. When they open their eyes it is the cutest thing. Lilly has the funniest face expressions. Afton's eyes already melt our hearts.

Ethan's 6th Birthday!

I cannot believe Ethan is already 6 years old. Time goes by much too fast. For his birthday we had a friend party at a neighbors house. Another neighbor boy also turned 6 on April 18th so we just had the party at his house and invited all the kindergarten neighborhood boys. For their party favor each boy got his own lightsaber. It was hilarious watching all the kids be star wars hereos. Even Lizzie who was the only girl at the party felt that she needed to be a jedi. Instead of a cake we did a chocolate fountain with different foods and fruits to dip into. The kids thought that was so fun. That night we had family over for a party which was really fun. He still got excited over receiving string cheese :)

Tulips

Right now Lizzie absolutely loves any kind of flower and loves to "sniff" them. On walks or car rides or whatever she will point out tulips, daffodils, etc. Then if she has the opportunity to smell them then life is good. On Saturday Jim, Ethan Lizzie and Grandma H. went to the tulip festival up at Thanksgiving Point. She was so excited about it for a few days before. She kept saying her "sniffer" was ready for the tulip festival.
