July so far...

Well the world looks a whole lot different when you've had 6 hours of continuous sleep every night I decided.  I don't think you really realize just how exhausted you are until you wake up the morning after a "full" nights sleep and it's amazing how much better you feel!  The babies started regularly sleeping through the night a few weeks ago, and that has revolutionized my life!  Right now they typically go to bed around 8 pm (same time as the big boys!) and will sleep until between 5 and 6 AM.  I don't even remember the big boys sleeping that well, so it's been amazing.  Just last night we had to put them in their own cribs for the first time because they were getting flipped around in their sleep, and kicking each other in the head and waking each other up.  I was a little bit sad to separate them, and they seemed sooo tiny by themselves in their individual beds.

The big boys have been a hand-full lately.  I've been struggling a lot with mommy guilt because I just can't play with them like I used to be able to.  There just isn't enough of me to go around!  And since they are still so young, they are just not super independent yet.  As a result there is a lot of fighting and naughtiness at my house right now; I think to get any kind of attention.  Plus, it's been so blasted hot that they really haven't been able to play outside much this summer.

It's a good thing I only take pictures of them when they are cute and happy, so when I look back at these pictures later I will have hopefully completely forgotten how absolutely INSANE this time of life was....     


I need to take some time (time, what is that??) to look for old pictures of these two laying down together so we can see how much they've grown!
We were are outside they are usually in swim suits playing in the pool (or naked as you have seen.) They have loved playing with the bubble machine lately.  This picture shows me how tall and thin Tiernan has gotten-he looks more and more like a little boy and not so much like a toddler/baby anymore :(
As always, a little ham-he loves the camera
A favorite pastime at our house is wrestling. 
 It almost always ends in tears when someone gets too rough. 
CHEESE!!
Rockin' the CSU gear

I've been a little addicted to Instagram lately...

Proud big brother

They look so grown up here-when did that happen??  They love riding in Poppa's pick up out on the farm mostly because they don't have to ride in car seats.  Please don't call CPS on me-I promise it's just on the fields (or at least that's what they tell me!)

LOVE LOVE LOVE this picture of my four sweet peas.  I'm just amazing no one is crying and everyone was looking at the camera!


Both of these are Zane....


Jaxson-again, addicted to Instragram....


The above picture is Zane, and the one below is Tiernan-well, what do you think??
