I love my little family

Aria is really smiling a lot. I finally caught it in a picture.


Aria my sweet little girl.
For some reason the bottle looks almost as big as Aria does in this picture.
On Memorial Day we had a Porter BBQ at our house. It was so much fun. Grandma took care of the twins so we could play. What a nice grandma. She had everything under control.
This is how Zachary sleeps with his arms up by his head.
My precious little boy.
Zachary and Aria Chillin'
Samuel loves his brother and sister. He can hardly keep his hands off of them.
Samuel pre hair cut.
Samuel post hair cut. What a handsome boy.
Daddy's favorite position.... SLEEPING with a kid on his chest.
Yeah!!! We finally got a double jogging stroller. We used it the other day in between rain storms. We would have got caught in the middle of one walking home had not a lady in our church stop and picked up Samuel and I jogged rest of the way home just before it started pouring down rain. Of course I'm in the worst shape of my life and my heart was about to burst out of me by the time I jogged home, so we broke the stroller in good that day.
Look at me... I'm a big boy now.
Look at me... I'm a big girl now.

My sister Maria (Spokane, WA) got on my case because I hadn't updated my blog for a while. So this is for her. Of course, she doesn't have a blog so we can't keep up to date with her family. Come on Maria... get up with the times!! ha ha

Anyway- it has been raining for two weeks now and we have been stuck in the house. We did get a couple of short breaks and took advantage with some walks. Aria is 8 lbs 3 oz and Zachary is 10 lbs 5 oz. Aria is smiling a lot and I love it. Zachary has a cute smile but it takes a bit to get him to smile. They are both starting to sleep longer and that makes the nights better for Travis and I. Now if we could keep Samuel in his bed. I'm just too tired to walk him all the way back downstairs to his bed so he sleeps with us. Actually me..... we share a pillow. Don't let him know, but I enjoy cuddling with him. Samuel is soooooo busy. The older he gets the busier he is. I've got to figure out a way to channel that business to help me out. ha ha The other day I asked him to go hang his jacket up. He came back and I asked him if he hung his jacket up. Sam... No Mom... Why not? Sam.... it's incapable. Then the other day he was in watching me put my make up on and said.... "mom, you're a good looking lady." Not sure where he got that from but hey it made my day. I love my little family. I thank the Lord every day for the 3 blessings he has given me. I'm also thankful for a husband who feels the same.

What a cute post!! I enjoyed it!! I hope we come down this weekend so I can see them. I miss them, and I hardly get to see little Zach awake:) You are such a great mom. I think i would be pulling my hair out by now...then I would be bald and ugly!:) I am so proud that I have a sister that is strong enough to have twins and a very very busy almost 3 year old. You are a great example to me. Anyways better stop before I cry. ...serious. I love you and hope to see you soon.

Your kids are adorable Tami. I was so surprised when I heard you were getting twins, you must really have your hands full, what a big job that must be. Do you still work from home? I'm glad you and your family are doing good, it's nice to see you all.
