Memorial Day Camping

This was our annual Memorial Day Blakely family camp out, and Tayv's first camp out. We went to indian creek on palisades reservoir. There arent very many pictures. But the twins slept in the table bed with bags between them. We put plywood up with padding and a sheet cover over it so they couldnt fall off the side. Pretty ingenious, right?! Tayv slept in her rocker.


Meg trying to pull Chloe. Bailee getting into things she isnt supposed to... Imagine that...



Grandma B taking the girls on a walk.


Brigham and chloe.


Everyone gathered together to play cards.


Bailee lovin on her papa.


Meg.


Brigham chased sticks the whole time.


Bailee. (Thanks Aunt Teri for doing her hair!)


A good dinner, right? So this is what goes through my head... "NO NO NO!!! YOU CANT HAVE A BAG OF CHIPS ALL FOR YOURSELF THAT IS SO NOT GOOD FOR YOU! But we are camping... I want you to hear camping and know that you will have fun... Plus you had your vitamin this morning... Okay... (insert defeated voice here...) I guess you can..."


Meg - This girl is always good for at least one stink eye. I love it!


Paul was less than pleased that I was trying to get Brigham to put this up his nose. Being a mom is REALLY hard. You gotta get some laughs at their expense some of the times... Just to make it worth it ya know. : )

April's Little Moments

So... total photo over load, but in an attempt to catch up without forgetting those precious moments I want to remember forever this I'm going to have a lot these in the next few weeks...


Here she is, our little babe at home at last.





Brigham and Bailee had a lot of fun with her cap from the hospital.



On our way to the hospital to have her jaundice levels checked. I can't believe how tiny she looks in her seat!



They were so excited just to be out of the house. All THREE of them. Paul is such an outside lover. : )



This little boy is turning out to ADORE his papa. As soon as paul layed down he came running over and laid down too. He wants to be JUST like him and do EVERYTHING Paul does.



Her first bath at home. They always tell you not to bathe your babes too much but I just cant let them go without their daily bedtime bath. She loved to be in the warm water



Asleep on our bed while I showered real quick.



He was being such a ham, running over until I tried to get a picture and then running away as fast as he could.



See that smirk on her face? Classic Bailee... She was watching Brigham run away and thought it was hilarious that someone was getting teased.



I dont remember why she had these or where we went because theyre usually in Paul's car, but she LOVED playing with that visor.



It was finally warm(ish) enough to go outside and play on the slide at Grammy's house. They were too little, and there is a little bump at the bottom, so if Paul didnt help them go down then they would flip over sideways and shoot off the end of it.





This is Brigham just studying his little sister. He still wouldnt hold her at this point, but he sure loved to sit down by her and stare.



These two clowns love their bikes. They also love tayv's newborn caps. They wear them all the time.



Still so itty bitty tiny.









So if you look at these three pictures its hilarious. Paul starts out with the big sucker, Brigham takes a taste of it. Then he traded him for the little one. And then he took the little one back and kept the big one too. HE HE! He is starting to learn big vs. little and always wants the bigger thing. Especially when it comes to ice cream. Bailee still hasnt noticed the difference yet.



Grandpa B with Tayv. It is such a lifesaver when others want to hold your baby for you, but I always feel like I want her back right away. Theyre so little for such a small time and I like to hold them as much as I can.



Bailee at Grandma B's sitting on the kitchen floor watching the pictures go by on the picture frame.



Bailee playing in the pillow cases.







Brigham's chicken pox. Yep. Chicken pox. Need I say more?





Bailee had them too but near as bad. The pediatrician said that one in one hundred children who get the vaccine will have a resultant infection. Yeah... Make that two in one hundred for this go around. These two poor kids get EVERY illness that comes around it seems like.



Bailee in Grandma B's hat. Great Grandma Butikofer made this for Jolene and Bailee absolutely ADORES it. It's the first thing she puts on when she goes to Grandma B's house.



The kids had to give Tayv their toys. It was so sweet because these are their most prized possessions.



They've started to love to play with the mail.



Pa was leveling the bench for grass and all of the kids had to go out there with him. Back row: Bailee, Pa, Brigham Front row: Noah, Hunter, Garrett



Bailee getting ready to paint at Grandma B's.



So happy to be outside helping daddy.



Teri (Paul's sister) watched the twins so we could get a few groceries. This was on the door when we got back to her house.



Grandma B works at the Rigby ariport and they had a black hawk helicopter fly in so they let us come see it.



Brigham hamming it up.



She was in such a cute position with her hands tucked under her chin, I had to snap a picture.



All tuckered out after a day at the park.



Brigham helping mommy make cookies. Mostly he was just eating the dough. This kid is crazy for cookie dough.



He is such a good helper, always so quick to take Tayv when I need a break.



Brigham at Grammy and Pa's in the toy room.



Bailee on the slide at Grammy and Pa's.



Brigham and Drake chowing down on some popcorn.



Brigham went through this "I MUST wear Bailee's swim suit top as my pants phase... Look at how the arm sleeve was a tail. Hilarious.



She's Pretty cute if I do say so myself.



Check out the swim suit top, with the purse, and the candy box for his shoe.



In a desperate attempt to get the house cleaned for me Paul spent held Tayv as he walked around pickeing things up and this is how she fell asleep. What a good husband, and daddy.



Mom's birthday. The big 2 - 5! I didn't feel as old as I thought I would.



My new kitchen faucet that my mom got me. I love it! Especially because the old one was broken and hanging off the sink for a good six weeks, we just never got to it. : )


So stinking cute!



This girl is quite the princess. I love it! She is always playing dress up and changing her outfits a thousand times a day.



Moms birthday at Grandma B's house.


Brigham eating at Grandma B's. They are finally starting to feed themselves more than make a mess at dinner time. It has been nice.
