San Jorge.

Last weekend, the Lawrence and Judd Families headed down to St. George for a little fun in the sun. Our activities included the following:

- Sightseeing (we got as far as the lounge chairs in the backyard)

- Exercised (Te went on a lone bike ride one morning, only because he felt the need to use the bikes we lugged down there)

- Met the locals (went to a nearby park and let the kiddies play)

Yeah...so we really did nothing TOO exciting while we were down there, but hey, relaxing was our goal and that's what we accomplished! Special thanks to the Berman Family for letting us stay at their home-away-from-home.

Playing with chalk. Me...not Cash.

The Family

Judd Family

It may looked crowded here, but they didn't seem to notice.

Cash

He really loves bark.

London not so much. He's got bigger fish to fry...

Cash hates the feel of grass on his hands. It was funny and sad at the same time watching him try to stand without touching the grass.

London's favorite word and toy, ball.

Cousins Aiden and Macy

Cash, aka Dwight Schrute by the looks of his hair-do.

London being "too cool for school".

Depoe Bay, Oregon

For Spring Break this year, we decided to take a roadie up to Oregon to visit our friends (The Marriotts) and to have a very relaxing week with our family.

We rented out a beach house in Depoe Bay, OR and prayed for at least one sunny day (we knew what we were getting into with Oregon's Spring weather). Our first two days there were complete downpours. The next two, perfect sunshine. Here are some shots of our afternoon at the beach.

Cash

London was so proud of this rock he is sitting on.

The whole family. (Baby "L" included)

The Marriotts (baby "W" included)

Besides the two 14 hour drives, this trip was amazing. We can't wait to do this every year!

Man, I love these boys.

I never want to forget these faces. Special thanks to Jen Herem for

capturing these moments on camera.

London

Cashus

One and counting.

One.

The boys turned one over the weekend on Saturday, Feb. 20th. I still feel like these guys are my babies, no where near "toddlers". Their birthday party was a lot of fun, thanks to our family and friends who joined us to help celebrate.

Stats.

Cashus:

Weight. 21 lbs. 12 oz. (34%)

Height. 30 in. (58%)

Head Circum. 49.5 cm (99%)

Cash is our comedian. He's always pulling faces and doing the strangest things. He can stand on his own and walk if assisted with one hand being held. He's nearly in the walking stage! He also likes to pick on his brother and smiles while he does it. He sleeps 12 hours a night and naps perfectly throughout the day.

London:

Weight. 21 lbs. 7 oz. (29%)

Height. 29.5 in. (41%)

Head Circum. 48.7 cm (96%)

London is our "into everything" baby. Leave him alone for 20 seconds and he will find something to get his hands into. This includes the dog's water bowl, the toilet, the cupboards, the plants...and well, you get the picture. He has turned into our cuddle monkey though. Out of nowhere, he will just give you a hug and loves to give kisses. He is also on the verge of walking. Unlike his brother, he is the first to rise in the morning and from his naps.

Both babies are learning "baby signing" and love to watch Barney and Yo Gabba Gabba. Within a day, they started playing with cars. Now, they LOVE cars. Pushing them around everywhere.

Their vocabulary includes the following:

Duug (dog)

Buh (ball)

Daddy

uhuh (which is my variation on "no")

No (they learned that one quickly)

Nana (banana)

Baba (bottle)

They can point out or understand these words:

Flowers

Balloon

Truck

Bath time

Come on! or Let's go!

Give a hug or kiss

Birthday Party.

Thanks to grandma Cindy, the boys each had their own cakes.

After getting comfortable with his cake, London demolished his.

Cash wasn't as "into" it as his brother.

Oh wait, we do exist.

Te and I were talking the other day about our blog. We realized that we hardly ever update anything about ourselves. Say what?! There's more to life than babies? Hmm...apparently so.

So here's a mini update. Short and sweet.

The Mr.

Te has been very busy the last 6 months or so. He still continues to work for Lexington Law/Progression and does part-time work at the Bobby Lawrence Karate in Centerville. He takes about 1-2 business trips a month. I'm jealous of this. I wish I could go every time.

He also likes to spend his nights teaching himself web design. He has three websites up and going. Once he puts his mind to something, he goes full steam ahead!

Moi

I went back to work part-time (if you could call it that. About 10 hours a week) doing payroll for Greene's Inc. I'm also taking a class up at the U of U. Shakespeare, to be exact. Even though Shakespeare isn't my favorite writer, you have to give the man credit. The guy could write for days. My pregnancy is going smoothly, MUCH easier than the twins. Most days I don't even feel pregnant, but then my round bowling ball stomach brings me back to reality.

The boys are turning one on Saturday, so their update will be coming...

Vos

And lastly, the slobber monster. Let's just say, she's been making my days....eventful. She enjoys bringing bark into the house for the boys to suck on. Oh, and every once in a while, she'll be a doll and leave a little poo nugget on her bed in the morning. Did I mention how much I love this dog? No...I didn't. If Te didn't love her so much, I would have found a way to lose her in the open fields behind our house. Oh yes, Vos....you are lucky someone loves you. On a brighter note, we did teach her to stay off the carpet. So, besides all her little flaws, she does listen. Good Vosie girl.

11 months.

Video #1: With the upcoming arrival of baby #3, we decided to move the boys into the same room to free up a room to start building her nursery. Weekend project done and done!

Video #2 is...well...see for yourself. Enjoy!

Pink is the new black.

In Te's words:

"I am scared of two things. The first, all her little girl "parts". That will be your department, Nicole. And the second, our bank account is about to take a big hit."

I couldn't have said it better myself.

Bring on the PINK.
