What do YOU think?

Madi has been blessed with beautiful red hair and blue eyes. I'd be thrilled if neither her hair or eye color ever change. Recently, we've had a number of people comment that we should look into signing her up to be a baby model. We just chuckle (besides, where would you even start?) Yesterday I got a Carter's advertisement in the mail and was a little surprised at what I saw on the cover. Here's what the ad looks like:

I showed it to Owen and asked, "Does this look a little like Madi?" He said yes.
I showed it to Gavin and asked, "Does this look a little like Madi?" He said yes.
I showed it to Cam and asked, "Does this look a little like Madi?" He said yes.
I showed it to Spence and asked, "Does this look a little like Madi?" He said yes.

What do you think? (I sure wish I could capture my adorable children's faces better...I need a live-in photographer.)

Birthday Breakfast

To celebrate Emily's 25th birthday (yes, she's a quarter of a century old now), we decided to go to Kneader's for breakfast. Kneader's is a Utah-only restaurant that bakes their own bread and desserts and I've never tasted anything there that wasn't fabulous. So, here's what we ate...Cinnamon French Toast, YUM!!!

And here's who got to go to this delightful breakfast:




I'm loving our new tradition of celebrating birthdays. I only wish No'el & our mom lived closer so they could celebrate with us. Happy 25th Em!

Four Month Check-up

I took Harrison & Madi to the doctor for their 4-month Well-Child on February 1st...they were almost 5 months old, oops! Both babies are very healthy and they are growing so quickly. They both have great smiles and Harrison has the funniest laugh. He usually only laughs at his daddy so we anxiously await Spencer's arrival home from work each day. I heard someone in our ward call them the "ward's babies" because they get passed around on Sundays. The young women always want to see what Madi's wearing and we get a lot of help at church. We love it! Here they are, waiting for Dr. Sheri:


And their stats:
Harrison~ Weight= 16 lbs 5.5 oz, 60%
Height= 26 inches, 75%
Head Circumference= 16.8 inches, 60%

Madison~ Weight= 14 lbs 11.5 oz, 60%
Height= 24 inches, 25%
Head Circumference= 16 inches, 40%

Madi recently met Madi Fullmer, our friend from Idaho Falls. We thought it was appropriate to take a picture of them together!
And just a few more pictures of the twins...I can't get enough of them! Madi generally loves getting her picture taken. Harrison, not so much!

Life is like a ...

Bountiful Basket. You never know what you're going to get! (Okay, that was way too cheesy.) My sister, Emily, & I decided to get our first Bountiful Basket this month. You can visit their website here. We were both a little apprehensive about what we'd get in our first basket, if we'd be able to use everything, if we'd recognize everything, etc. I'd heard that sometimes you get out of the ordinary vegetables or fruits that you aren't quite sure how to prepare. However, it was fabulous and we've ordered our second basket already. Included in the first was:
8 bananas
7 green apples
1 cantaloupe
16 oz strawberries
12 pears
3 tomatoes
1 bunch spinach
1 bag red potatoes
2 red bell peppers
4 broccoli florets
1 head cauliflower
2 bags celery

One thing I loved about the basket is that when we picked it up there were a few things that weren't ripe yet. I was able to use the fruits and veggies at my own pace and didn't have to throw any of it out. Totally worth the money!!!
