Not so lucky in green

Mommy loves to take pictures, especially of us. But she knows she will never go pro because she usually ends up with products like this.

DSC_4763

Love the...smiles?

DSC_4770

Oh how we love the camera in our face.

DSC_4773

What, a happy face?

DSC_4774

Look at the camera, why?

DSC_4778

At this point we now take a timeout for biting and egging on the brother that caused the bite.

DSC_4781

And our being upset led to this little guy getting upset.

DSC_4789

And again, happy face?

DSC_4796

But this one winked at Mom, he is working on favorite child status.

DSC_4804

Oh yes, don't we look lovely?

DSC_4812

Wow...

DSC_4816

Now both the baby dudes decided to fight for favorite child status.

DSC_4819

Whose side are you on? Stop with the cuteness!

DSC_4824

Now this is how it is done.

Yep Mommy tried to take some great shots of us with our special St. Patrick's Day clothes on, but we showed her that trying to take of a picture of four children is more than she could accomplish. We love her, but we like keep her in check. As you can tell she didn't even bother to edit these pictures, it just adds to the awesomeness of our unruliness!

Bath-time Big Boy Style

Giving the dudes a bath in my old tub brought good memories, so I thought I relive old times.

Bath-time at Home

DSC_4484

The boys were a little bit smelly (spit up milk smell). So Daddy and I decided to give them a bath.

DSC_4488

Max loved my head massage that I gave him.

DSC_4490

Such a little baby boy.

DSC_4494

Luke enjoyed his turn too.

DSC_4500

I love helping out my brothers.

Therapy Moment

DSC_4511

Being sick in the hospital is hard on a person. You lose lots of strength and muscles. So I am having to back track with a lot of strengths. But I know I can get it back.

DSC_4518

Some simple games of standing up and squatting down.

DSC_4525

Working on my balance.

DSC_4529

Upper body strength.

DSC_4544

And finish with some stretches. This is exhausting work, but I can do it!

Being a Big Brother

DSC_4478

Mommy and Daddy brought home these little tiny boys. I have tried to play trucks, puzzles, and all Break the Ice with them, but they haven't seemed interested. Then I had an idea. I will just sit and rock them.

DSC_4480

Yes, this is the perfect thing to do with these babies.

Max still trying decide, but thinking that snuggles were make it all worth it.

  2011-02-05_18-18-17_054_1

So very nice to be home. Now two down, one more to go.

Getting to find out what is home

DSC_4441

Getting on the all important outfit.

DSC_4449

One last picture in the NICU!

DSC_4454

And then up to the Children's Hospital's elevators to see our sister. (We tried to get her to escape with us, but they just wouldn't let her go.) Now on on way to home.

Our Place

Realized we didn't have pictures of our place. So here are some pictures of what we look at each day.

DSC_4433

Our corner of the world.

DSC_4434

Our cute hand and foot print sheets our Primary Nurse did for us.

Our shelf with our things that helped make it feel more like home.

Abducted by Aliens?

IMG_1686

Woke up with this stuff on my head. Thought maybe I was abducted by aliens. Nope, just a hearing test. I thought jumping at every loud noise would count. Guess not. Or maybe they just like to scare babies.

2 bottles of Milk in Our Mouths

IMG_1680

Our very first bottles, and boy were they good. We are Rockstars at this eating thing, but we are boys you know.

Photo with Mommy and Daddy

posted from sis-in-law (the favorite one!)



While we stayed with Michelle, Tory ran down to the NICU to see Elizabeth and the babes. I told him to take the camera and have someone take photos of them TOGETHER with their babies. Glad he doesn't mind me bossing him around. :)




Such strong parents. It was so hard to have both Dallas and Wes in the NICU when they were born, but we have never had to juggle three let alone two kids in the hospital at the same time!!! They sure have been bouncing back and forth trying take care of all their children. I'm glad I get to help out when possible and take Ryker. He feels comfortable at my house and it's always a party when you get the cousins together.



Cute little fam. Now they all need to do is hurry up and get better, get home and be a family of 6!!!!
