Officially a Minivan Family

Yesterday we picked up our new van and today we registered it and got license plates. Here are some pictures at Mom and Dad Perkins request :)


Child Restraints :)

Back Stow n' Go
Front Stow n' Go- really just "stow" since you need the bucket seats for it to fold down, but you can still store stuff in there :)

YEAH- I don't have to take my stroller apart for it to fit inside!

So It has been a while since I wrote last!! We have had a great month. The first week of May we were on vacation with the Perkins Family. Then we had a happy Mother's Day. Adam had to work on mothers day so I celebrated with my family and then a week later Adam took me on a riverside picnic (which was delicious, gorgeous and SO fun) and gave me a rice cooker which I have been wanting!! I can't seem to cook rice without burning it. Days go so quick and I cannot believe that May is nearly over.

Hear are a few pictures that we have taken the last little while.

The kids are really starting to like playing with each other- grabbing hands, faces, toys, binkies, shirts, etc. They talk and laugh with each other too. It is definitely the cutest thing in the world to me. One of my favorite moments was watching Caitlyn spit and Bryant would start to giggle. So then Caitlyn would spit more and Bryant would laugh more. I highly recommend having twins. It is such a blast.
Learning to sit. This is the day I think they finally "got" it. I rarely use pillows any more. I love that they can sit and play and not get away yet... Caitlyn is getting close.



Here are a few highlights form our trip to WolfCreek- in Eden Utah (near Ogden). Again, most of the pictures taken of us were on other cameras because we kept forgetting to bring it with us.

Hats for Summer!!!


Me and my Honey. It always amazes me how slow spring comes in the mountains. In the valley it was summer but up here the leaves were barely poking out on the trees. But boy was the river high and fast! This part of the river is not the main part- so you can't tell how big the river really is.
Adam playing with sticks in the river and watching them fall down a tiny water fall.
That's right... buff mama pushing babies on a mountain nature walk.
Can you say teething?! I noticed that I could see the back of her head so I went to put the hat back in place and this is what I found. I about died laughing.

This is our little family in front of a 1944 steam engine that had just arrived at the Union Station in Ogden. It was on a commemorative trip or something. It was so cool to see an old but working steam engine!

I bought swimming suits for the kids and I was so excited to use them. Due to many reasons the pool outing was changed to a hot tub outing but I still wanted to try on the swimming suits. So I stuck the kids in the tub. Bryant was less in the mood so I don't have a picture of him. His suit is HUGE on his skinny little waist. I have a video, but no picture darn. I love Caitlyn's suit. She LOVES to play in the tub. She had a great time- although I think she would rather not have been in the swimming suit. She got so mad at me while I put it on :)
