Sweet Cheeks

I couldn't resist some naked time pictures! These little tooshies are irresistible. I am leaving off the more racy shots for blog viewing, as I wouldn't want my posts to circulate the world wide web without Calvin and Jett's approval. The twins are 4 months now and really getting fun. They are such different kids in how they look and how they act. It is such a cool part of having twins to see the differences side by side. Jett can be pretty intense, his cry is an ear piercing shriek that really gets our attention. It is like nails on a chalkboard, so guess who usually gets fed first. =-) Jett likes to stand tall and see around and often just demands to be held. He is quick to smile and has the cutest giggle. Calvin is more mellow and cuddly. His cry is softer, but more emotional. It breaks my heart to see him cry. Calvin doesn't seem as interested in standing, he is more of a pile of mush. But even though he started out the smaller twin, he has passed up Jett in size and has already rolled over a few times. The boys don't seem too interested in each other yet, but Piper sure gets their attention. They love to watch her play, she gets them to smile just by looking their way. Piper seems to have fun choosing toys for the twins or getting their binkies if they cry. It is funny she is always very fair in tending to them equally. One of our spring projects to do was getting a fence up!!! We live on a busy road, so with out the fence it was always a little stressful to have Mango and Piper out in the yard. We are super happy with how it turned out with 14 new trees and a couple climbing rocks and a drip system to keep it all green and beautiful. David got his fair share of manual labor in with all the holes he dug for the trees and moving around the bushes, building mounds etc. The effort of making a nice yard for our family to enjoy has already proved worth it for Piper. Not surprisingly she loves to be outside, she has so much fun playing with Mango or kicking a ball or our new favorite game is to hide these little lizards and frogs and find them like an easter egg hunt. We are looking forward to a fun summer playing out in the yard. Even our bees like their new home! We had another visit from my mom this past weekend to help me out while David went on a "Guys Trip" to Moab, UT for mountain biking. I had one full day on my own before Grandma arrived and I am happy to say I managed very well. I was proud of myself and the kids, we even made it out to Best Buy to purchase a new laptop. I was quite a scene with the two babies in their snap and go stroller and Piper riding up on top as I wheeled us all in the store. It was super nice when my mom arrived to have the extra hands and help, but more than anything it was fun to see her love on her grandkids. Piper was a little possessive of Grandma, only wanting all the attention on her, but luckily my mom had lots of love to give to them all. Thanks Mom! Here is a few bonus pictures of the boys from today, aren't they sweet?!
