Holly & Johnny's Wedding!

I never thought I'd see the day... that Johnny got married. HA. Anyone who's known Johnny for any length of time is probably smiling at that comment. However, I absolutely love Holly and think Johnny really did meet someone he can spend the rest of his life with. Chris and I wish them the best and are so happy for them! Here are some pictures from the celebration (St. Patricks Day, 2012!)



Big thanks to my mom (AS ALWAYS!) for watching the boys this past weekend so we could participate in the wedding festivities!


Congrats Johnny & Holly!!!

Personalities and Achievements at 4 months

Clay: Our first born (ha).
Personality: He's so easy going. He'll pretty much go along with anything and is usually fine wherever you put him. Its rare that he's upset so when he is, you know he's not faking it...(unlike someone, but I wont mention any names...)

Physical attributes: He has more hair than his brother, and is almost a pound heavier. He weighs 14.1 lbs and is 25.75 inches long. He looks more like his daddy than me.

Colt: Our youngest child ;)
Personality: He's extremely playful, and his emotions are extreme. He's usually either REALLY happy or REALLY unhappy. He absolutely loves to be played with and spoken to. He smiles all the time.

Physical attributes: He looks just like his momma. He is 13.3 lbs and 25 inches long. Blue eyes and brown hair just like his brother.


We're not 100% sure if they're identical or fraternal. When they were first born, we thought for sure they were identical. We literally could not tell them apart. A few weeks later they began to look different, and we changed our minds to fraternal. Now at 4 months, they're back to looking alike. They have the exact same eye color, hair color, and same unique features on their ears. Their nose and mouth are also the same. We plan on getting them tested so we can know for sure, but the test is expensive so we're going to wait a little while...and who knows, maybe a feature will change on one of them and then we'll know they're fraternal...for free! ;)

Both boys have great head control. They can sit in their bumbo (assisted), grab objects, throw objects (greeeeat! on accident, of course!), put toys/teethers in their mouths, laugh, smile, coo, squeal, attempt to hold their own bottle, roll from tummy to back, push up while on their tummy (imitating the crawling position), kick hard, stand and bounce (assisted of course).

Every day is an adventure for them (and us) and it seems they are always changing, learning, and growing. There's always something new to celebrate and be glad for. They truly are amazing and we LOVE our boys!!

Holly's Bachelorette Party

This past Saturday all the girls went out to celebrate for Holly's Bachelorette Party. I had a blast getting together with all the ladies. We started our celebration out at the Embassy Suites in Sundance Square with a little socializing and a lingerie shower for Holly. We then headed out on the town for dinner at Mi Cocina (yum!) and enjoyed the rest of the night out bar hopping. Everyone dressed in green/St. Patty's day attire since Johnny and Holly are getting married on St. Patrick's Day. We definitely stood out!

Here are a few pictures from our night:
