8 months Old

While my step dad was out of town my mom wanted to do something with the boys. She kindly took three rambunctious boys to Discpicable Me 2. I was so excited for the chance to have an hour to use her camera and just have these 2! I'd been wanting to get some pictures since they're so much bigger than their newborn pictures.

Luckily Trevor could come with! My friend Kelsie let me borrow all her bows- and camera. And thank goodness! It took 2 of us to take pictures and position and change and make smile and .....

I picked the tabernacle to shoot at- just to have a pretty, clean (and shaded) background. I'm so happy with the way they turned out- for us non photographers!

My Hannah Banana

She makes you feel so special when she smiles at you.

She is now loving to be on her belly and spin around ad find toys. 

My Mr Kayden the Playden- he is constantly making someone laugh- or laugh himself.

I love love having a boy and a girl!

I love this age- he just looooves me.

I look those chubby little legs and healthy face and just thank God for helping me endure everyday I did in the hospital.

This is the kind of pose and picture that those nieve people will ask me if they are identical ;)

I love this perspective to show how little they still are!

I could kiss them forever!

I don't know if this is a daughter thing, or just her personality- but Hannah is most comfortable with me. I feel like she is just her, with me. It makes me feel so special!

I'm so excited to have this picture next to prom and wedding pictures as she grows into a beautiful woman.

This boy is incredibly happy and social! He is rocking on his hands and knees all the time - and can launch himself anywhere he wants!

And has eyes to die for... And eats absolutely everything! And he's sitting on his own.

It's so fun to see their name fit them and them fit their name. 

I'm convinced that I'm the luckiest wife and mom in the world! We always get a lot of attention and questions when in public. (Especially grocery shopping by myself). People always ask how I do it- I've been thinking a lot about my 'perspective' post I did not long ago. I think that that's the answer- it's all about perspective. 

If I let my perspective be that I am out numbered, tired, and have no time in the day- than I do. BUT, if I have the perspective that I have been blessed with five incredible spirits that make me laugh everyday and fulfill me in a way that nothing else can- then they do. I have ups and downs too... But that's been my answer. Keep a happy perspective and nothing seems impossible. The Lord will give you the strength and the tools to do everything you need to- AND- with the right perspective, you can find something positive and miraculous, in absolutely anything. 

Thank you all for your constant love and friendship. I've concluded that I can't worry about what you all may think of me- but rather be more concerned with knowing what I think of you. I have been blessed to be surrounded by an amazing family and incredibly great friends and neighbors. The examples of love and kindness that I always see, drive me to want to do the same! And I couldn't be more grateful for the 'pack' (family and friends) that are helping us raise our kids. 

Yay for healthy, beautiful babies. And yay for healthy, loving and kind relationships that surround me! (May this make you smile and God bless you!)
