First day of school 2013





 Ashton is in grade one in Mrs. Gilmor's class and he is loving it and loves that he gets to take a lunch everyday!!
Nolan and Nixon are in Mrs. Jensen's preschool class in the afternoons and are soooo excited to be going to school this year!!! on the days that they have school they are ready and asking every five mins if it is time to go yet!!

Nolan and Nixon turned 5








My little twin boys turned 5 on Sept 6th! it is sooo crazy how time just seems to fly by! It feels like yesterday that I was told I was pregnant with twins how my life was going to change and I am so great full for them they have made my life so much better because they are part of it! These boys are so kind and caring they are always looking out for each other and they really do have such a special bond with each other! They are so full of personality Nixon is going to be the class clown and Nolan is always aware of how he looks he always as to look "good"

Lake Blaine

The big turtle that we caught that we hope to catch again next year!
What a crazy bunch!

Brandon and Bentley chilling
Feeding the ducks in Kalispell they were nuts and chased us when we ran out of bread!
We hope to get a picture of all the kids each year! It will be fun to see them all grow and change and cant wait for the addition of kids to these pics!

Bentley and "John" (Mason)

Back in January some friends suggested we all rent a cabin down at lake blaine for a week so we went with it! And we had a blast there were 8 kids under the age of 6 and our husbands who have been friends since like the 3rd grade were in heaven! They are just so lucky that us wives get along like we do:) We had fun wakeboarding, tubing, snorkling, catching crayfish, turtules, and frogs everyday!!
For some reason Bentley would only call Mason John so for 8 days Mas had a new name! The boys loved making friendships with the Depew girls and with baby Rowan! It was such a great week of playing staying up late and just over all fun that we are hoping to make this a yearly thing!

Bentley turned 2

My baby turned 2 on Aug 22 we got home the night before from visiting my brother Josh and his family out in Winnipeg so we just had a very low key party just our parents and Brandon's sisters were able to make it! Bentley love his McQueen cake and ate 1/2 of it with his car as his spoon!
This kid is nuts he thinks he is a lion so he roars most of the time.
He weighs a whooping 24 lbs (my smallest and shorts) Brandon calls him runt
He climbs everything at Church the other day he climbed up the couches and would jump off of them with out telling me he was jumping
He Loves his brothers and will miss them when they are in school
He only has two speeds fast and faster he never walks anywhere he is always running
He loves his Hank and Hunny (my in-laws labs)
When you ask him what is name is he tells you Baby!! maybe we should start calling him by his real name!LOL

This was a few years ago but Ashton got a terrible haircut and every time we looked at him all we saw was Loyd Christmas (Jim Carey) from Dumb and Dumber to this day we still laugh about it!!


Ashton made this at school and wore it all day!
