Aria and Zachary. Aria has crazy hair and it is adorable. Zach smiles all the time but for some reason couldn't get him to smile this time.

A lot has been going on since the last up date. The main thing being that my camera broke. So with the help of my mom and my sister Shea we have a few pictures for the blog. Over the 4th of July we went to my parents. I had the kids in cute 4th of July outfits but the pictures were blurry. Samuel went with Grandpa and dad to the parade and got way too much candy. I think he must have been the only kid around. He caught his first fish (12" long). He was excited but didn't want to touch it. Daddy took him on a 4-wheeler ride and absolutely loved it. The twins did great. Infact, it was at this point that they both started sleeping 10 hours through the night. It scared me at first but now I'm loving it.

Then I packed all the kids up and met my sister Shea at Hoogle Zoo and had a great time. Ok to be honest it was hectic but Samuel had a great time and that was my goal so I was happy. Thank goodness for my sisters help though. I bought a harness (which I said I'd never put one of my kids in those) to keep Samuel from running off to see the next site. He and London (cousin) went on 3 train rides. He loved it and said he liked the monkeys the best. We stayed a couple of nights with Shea and had a really nice time. She was very helpful with all my kids. If you'll notice Zach is looking at Aunt Shea in the train ride picture. He loves his Aunt Shea.

The twins are growing so fast. Zach is in 3-6 month clothes and Aria is in 0-3 month clothes. They both smile all the time. Zach thinks Samuel is it and watches him like a hawk. Aria rolled over yesterday. She worked at it for a bit and finally made it. She may be a little thing but that doesn't stop her one bit. They both have strong necks and backs. Aria will stand straight up on her legs and Zach is getting really close. They both are very happy babies and I love that.
