The Twins are 5 Months Old!

This was the "happiest" picture I could get.
(Eli is on the left and Davis is on the right)



They're just not glad about growing older....

Turn up the volume and listen.....

The laughing babies on our playlist cracks us up because the boys are just starting to laugh like that. It's really the sweetest sound you'll ever hear......


Davis is eyeing Eli (like he does most of the time)


My silly boys....John Carter had been eating Cheeto's so he's sporting an orange mouth!


Their new favorite toys! For some reason they notice each other more when they have caps on.
They "talk" to each other and laugh out loud when they're in the excersaucers.


John Carter's new passion is turtle and frog hunting. Here he is showing his brothers his latest catch.....the poor frogs in our yard don't stand a chance.


This one kind of scares me....I call this "Devious Davis" and "Evil Eye Eli." John Carter has always been such a good child, but I think these two will be the death of Tim and me. I can already tell that they're going to gang up on us! (By the way, they're 4 months old and already weigh half of what John Carter weighs and he's 3 1/2!!) I'm scared for John Carter too because the two of them will probably be twice his size and I can only imagine what furniture is going to get broken around our house.....That's just life with boys I guess...

Davis & Eli's First Date

Lilly (I think) and Davis

Davis, Lilly, Eli & Emmilyn

The two sets of identical's....

My friend Alison had a set of identical little girls about 6 weeks after the boys were born. Alison and I are determined to have them date when they're older, so we set them up at my sister's baby shower for their first little date. We'll see what happens in about 16 years!

Rock Stars

"Rockin' it on their 3 month birthday!"



I got a little smile from Davis in this one.

My Boys were little rock-stars last week. They got to "feel" a guitar for the first time. I just hope they love music as much as their older brother. John Carter says they're going to start a band. I can't wait!!

Date with Kendall

Here are our two little explorers.
They were playing Diego & Dora.


They love each other!


They were doing some heavy handholding!

We had a great time at the Kid's Dug-Out with Kendall and Mrs. Amy. John Carter didn't even mind that I brought his little brothers to crash his date! Could this be the future Mrs. John Carter Clark??

Got Milk?

Explaining pregnancy and birth to a three year old has been relatively easy until I got to the part about how all mamas are able to feed their babies. We studied cows and dogs for instance and I showed him pictures of what it looked like. When he found out that we get our "people milk" from cows he wanted to know why milk from all the other animals wasn't in the grocery store too?
Well, once we convinced him that:
1. No, unfortunately I wouldn't be able to feed the other animal's babies and
2. Even though it may look (and feel) like the breast pump is violently sucking your "napples" down a clear tube, I will in fact, be keeping them attached to my body, he suddenly became very interested in my breast pump.
One night after Tim had given John Carter his bath and put him on our bed while he got his PJ's he came back in the bedroom to find this:


John Carter is buck naked, sitting on our bed watching Sponge Bob while he "pumps."
...and by the way, he said when he pumps, his milk is always pink...

John Carter and his brothers

This one below makes me believe that they're

the mirrored identical twins. They do some of

the exact same things at the very same time!

The Boys

It's been crazy having twins, but we've enjoyed every minute of it.

This one cracks me up. It looks like Eli is screaming at Davis.

Meet Davis & Eli

Eli is on the left and Davis is on the right.

They're finally here! They made their debut on Friday, January 16th at 1:23 in the afternoon. Yes, they were both born at 1:23. Eli first and Davis followed 20 seconds later. Their full names are Elijah Thomas and Davis Andrew. Eli was 6lbs 3 oz at birth and Davis was 6lbs 6oz. They were down to 5lbs and 7oz at the last weight check. Still, they were very big for twins. The doctors confirmed that they are indeed identical. There are a few slight differences that help us tell them apart, but at 2:00 in the morning I usually can't tell one from the other. Stay tuned for more pictures to come!
