TADDA!

What did the twins get into?

2009-07-28T15:43:00.000-07:00

Don't think Jena is the innocent one. I believe she was the one who put the hair gel on Josh and wrote in his ear with florescent marker.

The future Nurse!!!

2009-05-08T14:59:00.000-07:00

Jena found my stethoscope and tried to see how it worked.

Just a day on the farm

2009-04-27T15:14:00.000-07:00

Just a day at the park

2009-03-29T15:06:00.000-07:00

Happy 40th Daddy!

2009-03-24T14:51:00.000-07:00

Yes, Guy made it to the big 40. What would a birthday be without a home made cake from his mother.

The Garden

2009-03-17T15:02:00.000-07:00

The garden started as seeds. The twins love to water the seeds and watch them grow. I had sticks in each of the cups so I knew what was planted in each cup. The twins took all the sticks out. So it will be a bit of a mystery to see what each plant is.

Is it warm enough for this yet?

2009-03-15T21:02:00.000-07:00

The New Car.

2009-03-15T14:44:00.000-07:00

We have a new car! It can hold the whole family comfortably and it even has built in car seats. We got a used Dodge Caravan and we love it.

Our little helpers

2009-03-08T20:52:00.000-07:00

I was here 1st!!

2009-03-03T14:47:00.000-08:00

Josh was playing on the tricycle and Jena tried to jump on when Josh got off for a second. So Josh figured a way to still ride the tricycle with Jena still on it.

Can they possibly get into anything else?

2009-02-27T20:58:00.000-08:00

Jena found she can push the chair up to the counter and get what she wants off the counter. In this picture she pushed off the huge container of croutons onto the floor. Josh is taking advantage of the snack-mess left on the floor.

Round and Round and Round

2009-02-22T20:36:00.000-08:00

Who do you think will fall down first.

Jayden does hair

2009-02-14T21:46:00.000-08:00

After Jena got out of the bath tub, Jayden decided to do Jena's hair.

Happy Valentines!!!

2009-02-14T21:23:00.000-08:00

Grandma Lea gave the kids smores with heart marshmallows. I don't know which was better the smores or playing with the marshmallows in the smores.

What happened!

2009-02-13T21:03:00.000-08:00

Jena started screaming, I ran into the living room, picked her up and comforted her. I then asked her what happened and this video is what she told me.

What do two babies and baking soda make?

2009-02-12T21:40:00.000-08:00

A big mess!!

Josh found the baking soda and Jena wasn't going to let Josh have all the fun.

I can fly!

2009-02-03T21:33:00.000-08:00

With Daddy's help I can fly!!

What's more fun than a box?

2009-02-03T21:30:00.000-08:00

Two Babies in a box.

Camp Three Falls

2009-01-31T20:20:00.000-08:00

Jayden was able to go camping with his Dad for scouts to Camp Three Falls. Jayden was so excited, he was packed a week in advance and he was counting down the days.

This kind of gave my the hebbie jebbies but I will share it anyway. Jayden shouted to all the scouts "Guy's, guy's come quick look what I found". In case you can't tell what he has in his hand I will tell you, it is a deer leg. Yes, I know gross. I made sure the mittens were washed as soon as he got home.

Josh likes to help unload the dishwasher.

Weird and bizarre things happen in our backyard.

Bubble Bath!!

2009-01-06T20:08:00.000-08:00

We love a good bubble bath!!

Christmas 2008

2008-12-26T20:30:00.000-08:00

Grandma's homemade marshmallow launchers. The twins loved the ammunition. It made clean-up a breeze.

What did Santa bring?

2008-12-25T20:25:00.000-08:00

Jena-Santa brought her this block table.

Jayden-a cool BMX bike.

Josh-playing peek-a-boo behind his work bench. Josh loves tools.

Oh no Santa left his sack!

2008-12-25T20:19:00.000-08:00

Jayden ran down stairs to see if Santa came. His reponse, "Mommy Santa came, he really came." Jayden then saw this giant bean bag his response, "Oh no I think Santa left his sack!"

Christmas Eve 2008!

2008-12-24T20:08:00.000-08:00

Jayden tracking Santa on the internet.

Josh smiling after his Christmas Eve boo boo. His forehead came in contact with the family room table.

Jena is just waiting for................!

Watch out world "We" are walking!

2008-12-19T20:14:00.000-08:00

Josh has been causally walking for a few weeks now. They are 14 months now. Jena is comfortable with crawling. Then one night Jena decided to walk. "Look at me I'm walking".

Tubular!!

2008-12-16T20:05:00.000-08:00

I love my brother!

2008-12-16T19:55:00.000-08:00

Jayden loves to hold the babies. Jena and Josh don't always care for it.

But here they both are wearing their smiles.

We love baby Jesus!

2008-12-13T19:40:00.000-08:00

I was so afraid Jena and Josh would break all my Christmas decorations. This is my snow globe nativity seen. It was too heavy for them to pick up so I put it on the floor. They just loved to look at it.

What do the Twins love?

2008-12-13T19:33:00.000-08:00

I love candy canes!

Well, doesn't my shirt say it all?

Getting ready for Christmas!

2008-12-07T19:23:00.000-08:00

Jayden is such a great big brother!

Josh has the sweetest smile!

Jena and that expressive tongue again!

Thanksgiving

Photos from Halloween night!!!

Happy Halloween!!!

2008-10-30T08:31:00.001-07:00

Our little Super Jayden always saves the day!

Trunk or treat was Wednesday night. It was 70 degrees so I was able to get away with the twins in a bath tub.

Happy Birthday Jena and Josh!

2008-10-27T07:32:00.000-07:00

The Twins turned 1 year old this week. I made them cupcakes. They enjoyed the mixer beaters more than the actual cupcakes. Jena received her first baby doll and Josh has a new ride on toy. I thought since Josh loves paper he would have so much fun tearing the wrapping paper off, he tears all other paper. But no neither of them wanted to open their presents. Good thing they have an older brother. Jayden got right in there and showed them how to get it done. Happy Birthday Jena and Josh!!!!!

Grandpa Cal Baker

2008-10-19T20:14:00.000-07:00

A few weeks ago my Dad and my brother were mountain biking in St George, Utah. My Dad was involved in a serious accident and had to be air lifted to Las Vegas. He still remains in Las Vegas in serious condition. My Dad has always served others. Even people he didn't know. The Bishop in his ward (a ward being a congregation in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints) said that my Dad had helped more people in their ward than any other person in the ward. The accident happened just 1 week before he was to run his 3rd marathon. He didn't realize he was training for something more difficult than running a marathon. I wanted to thank everyone for your loving support and all of the wonderful prayers being said in his behalf. Daddy I LOVE YOU! Our prayers are with you during this hard journey.

What a difference a year makes

2008-10-19T20:12:00.001-07:00

One Year Ago

Today

I can't believe I am putting this picture on the blog. It was funny, at first people just looked at you trying to decide if you were pregnant or not and if they should say anything. As it got closer to the 9 months they would ask when the baby was due. The last month I was asked if I was having twins. It was a good thing I was having twins because if I wasn't I would be extremely upset.

From one to three kids just like that. Three can be very challenging at times but it is worth it. They are all so different and such a blessing. We love you Josh, Jena and Jayden!

The pumkin patch

2008-10-19T08:29:00.001-07:00

The twins first trip to the pumpkin patch. They had so much fun. Jena spent most of her time trying to remove the stems from all the pumpkins. I think she was able to remove one. Josh is just happy anytime he is outside. Jayden, he got lost in the corn maze.

The Scariest Pumpkins ever!

2008-10-17T09:49:00.000-07:00

This picture was taken last year but it is one of my favorites. Which one do you think is the scariest?

Daddy's Girl

2008-10-07T11:13:00.001-07:00

All I can say is Jena climbed up on the couch, grabbed the remote control and took the "I'm going to watch a little TV" pose.

The Twins first and maybe last spaghetti

2008-09-21T16:30:00.000-07:00

Josh

Jena

Jayden

Tomorrow the twins will be 11 months. I can't believe how fast time flies. I decided to let Jena and Josh try some spaghetti. I knew it would make a mess so I removed all clothing. Jena and Jayden ate everything on their plates (minus the food stuck to themselves). Josh did pretty good too. I can say all the kids love spaghetti. I may have saved time preparing everyone the same thing for dinner but I think it took a lot more time in clean up.

OK, our 6 year old can write better than me.

2008-09-15T14:29:00.000-07:00

Jayden does take forever to complete a task. If Jayden does not finish his work at school it comes home with him and he has to finish it at home. This paper came back home with only his name on it. He had 20 minutes to write something and all he did was write his name. I was a little upset with him because he can do it. I told him he had to write something to turn in the next day for class. This is what he wrote. I only helped him with spelling on 3 words. I wasn't as upset with him when I read what he wrote.

My Auntie made our shirts!

2008-09-15T13:58:00.001-07:00

Guy's sister Tricia is a clothes designer for children. These are just a couple of the shirts that she has designed. Thank you Tricia!

Did someone say bike ride!

2008-09-14T14:59:00.000-07:00

Jayden's favorite, riding his bike with his Dad. I couldn't believe he actually went down this steep hill. I was a little nervous, ok a lot nervous, but he did great. He even hit a jump. The kids are growing up so fast.

I want to go to the Park! Please!

2008-09-14T14:08:00.000-07:00

We walked to the park near our house and here are a few pictures.

Uh Oh we have a climber!

2008-09-07T16:03:00.000-07:00

During my mothers last visit she stocked up the snack drawer for back to school. The babies were not too interested in the drawer until it had something in it. Now I can't keep them out of it. The first day Josh found the apple sauce. A bunch of the apple sauces had teeth marks puncturing the foil on top. I moved the applesauces that were still sealed into the 2nd drawer, thinking the babies could not get them there. Think again if there is a will there is a way. Josh pulled out the first drawer, climbed into it, and used it as a step to get into the 2nd drawer with the apple sauce.

What's worse than a spider on your front porch?

2008-08-31T16:18:00.000-07:00

We have a couple garden spiders that spin these beautiful webs in our yard. I have a picture of one next to Jayden's hand so you can see how big they get. How ever one of the garden spiders liked to spin webs on our front porch (front door). Grandma Lea went to leave one night and almost ran into the spider on her way out. We took down the web. The next morning Guy went to leave and the spider had made another web covering the front porch. Guy dunked under it and went to leave. He realized he had forgotten something and ran back into the house (forgetting about the spider). Big mistake. He ran right into that spider web, finding the spider on the tip of his nose. He did a cute little dance, removing the spider from his nose. All I can say is better him than me. By the way, the spider has not made a web on our front porch since.

And the answer to the question. What is worse than a spider on your front porch? A spider on the tip of your nose, of course.

Camping in the play house

2008-08-30T20:06:00.000-07:00

Jayden and Daddy camped in the play house. Jayden was so excited. They got to stay up late and they watched a movie. (Even though I don't think watching movies has anything to do with camping.) But they were not the only ones who stayed up late. The mosquitos were out too and I think they won. Jayden had 11 bites on his hand, 10 bites on his face and more bites everywhere else. Good thing they had fun or else I think all they would remember is their unwanted guests.

We love going outside!.

2008-08-30T19:56:00.000-07:00

Jena and Josh love being outside. We have a sand and water table they played in for the first time. They splashed and played. They were up and down. After about 30 minutes they were dirty and I think their diapers absorbed as much water and mud as they possibly could. I finally removed the diapers and let them play in their birthday suits. They had so much fun.

Josh's walk

2008-08-17T17:43:00.000-07:00

Poor Josh had roseola this week. He had a high fever for 5 days and then the rash came. During the 5 days I thought there was no way it could be roseola because Jena wasn't sick. They share everything, but on the 6th day the rash came. At least we finally knew what was wrong. The end of the week Josh was his old self and practicing walking as you can see in the clip above.

Peek-A-Boo Jena

2008-08-17T17:28:00.000-07:00

Jena is our big ham. She loves to play Peek-A-Boo as in the video above. She has also made her first sign(sign Language) which is milk. She waves bye bye and claps her hands.

Josh and Jena's first beach trip

2008-08-06T21:16:00.000-07:00

I finally took Jena and Josh to the beach. I was so afraid they would eat sand, get sun burned, or crawl into the hot sand. They did really well. A little sand in their food, Josh crawled on the boogie board and not the hot sand, and Jena would not keep her hat on and she got just a little pink. Not too bad. We went with our friends Brian and Heidi Neville and Janette and all of the kids so I did have lots of help. Jayden spent most of his time jumping the waves. I got an action shot of that.

Jayden's photos

2008-08-04T09:34:00.000-07:00

Jayden received a camera for his birthday. He is having tons of fun with it. But what does a 6 year old take a picture of take a look.

Don't you dare take my watermelon away!

2008-07-31T22:18:00.000-07:00

Jayden gave Jena this watermelon and she would not let me take it away. What can I say even Jena likes watermelon.

Gymnastics Camp 2008

2008-07-31T21:54:00.000-07:00

Jayden has been in gymnastic camp this summer. He has incredible upper body strength and his flexibility is increasing everyday. At first Jayden didn't want to do gymnastics camp. He said "No Mommy I don't want to go to gymnastic camp if "girls" are going to be in my class." I then told him his "girl" friend Kaleigh would be in the class and then he got all excited and he didn't want to miss gymnastic camp.

Splish splash I love taking a bath

Kids

2008-07-27T10:02:00.000-07:00

Jayden's front teeth are finally coming in. His teeth are big and definitely not straight. We brought him to the orthodontist and he basically told us to start saving our money cause braces are in Jayden's future.

Josh's four front teeth have come all the way in. I can't believe how different he looks with teeth. Josh has been crawling and sitting up himself since 7 months. He began standing up in his crib at 7 1/2 months. Josh has a small hemangioma above his left eye. Basically a red birth mark. The doctor says it should go away at age 2-3. I just need to take him in to the doctor if it becomes any bigger because it can interfere with his vision. It hasn't changed in size in the last few months so hopefully it is as big as it will get and it will start shrinking .

This week Jena's first tooth finally broke through. Josh and Jayden's first teeth were the bottom teeth. Not Jena, her first tooth is the top right tooth. She just has to be different. Last week Jena started to sit herself up and pull herself up. She crawls a few steps than she goes back to the all familiar drag/army crawl. I had just enough hair to get it into a small pony tail on top as you can see in the picture below.

Where is Guy?

2008-07-23T10:10:00.000-07:00

I forgot to publish this closer to Father's Day but I thought it was kind of fun. Jayden drew a picture of his Daddy for Father's Day and they published it in the local newspaper. Can you find him?

Daddy built a tree house

2008-07-22T21:40:00.000-07:00

It is so nice to have brother and brother in law in construction. We were able to get the extra wood from their projects and we built this shed-play house. Thanks to our friends who allowed us to borrow their tools. Jayden is so excited, he goes inside every day. We just need to get some paint on it. I have already pulled 3 splinter out of Jayden's hands. The other injury being my big toe. One of the sheets of plywood met my left big toe. Yes it was broken. I was told it would only take 4 weeks to heal. It has been 6 weeks but I still can't wear heals. At least it's sandal season.

Pioneer Day 2008!

2008-07-20T20:23:00.000-07:00

We had our yearly Pioneer Day. Jayden was able to ride the horse drawn carriage with his friends. Also he panned for gold, and shot the rubber band shot gun. Looks like we need to teach him how to aim though.

2008-07-14T10:49:00.000-07:00

On the 24th of July we celebrate Pioneer Day. We remember the early mormon pioneers who traveled across the plains into the Salt Lake Valley years ago. In 2005 our church in the Simi Valley area walked approximately 3 miles pulling authentic wooden handcarts to get a taste of what those rugged people had to endure. It was a hot day and many of us had the modern convenience of comfortable shoes, that lessened some of the pain, but at the end of the day we were all pretty dirty and tired. We could barely imagine going up to 20 miles a day for weeks and months battling fatigue, hunger, and the elements. All in all, it was a great experience that gave us a real appreciation for all those who have gone before us, and Jayden even got his picture in the local paper.

Jayden's front flip

2008-07-11T20:25:00.000-07:00

Jayden loves swimming. He is now doing front flips off of the diving board. Take a look

Happy 4th of July

We love Cheerios

2008-06-30T21:04:00.000-07:00

Jena and Josh have now discovered Cheerios and they love them. We find Cheerios everywhere, on the floor, in their bed, on their cloths, on my clothes. Luckily our dog Max helps us find the Cheerios and he cleans up for us. What a nice dog.

Our Kids

2008-06-28T17:05:00.000-07:00

HERE ARE THE KIDS IN THE FRONT OF OUR HOUSE.

THE TWINS ARE NOW 8 MONTHS OLD. I CAN'T BELIEVE

IT. SOMETIMES I THINK TIME IS GOING BY SO FAST

AND OTHER TIMES IT FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING SO SLOW.

BUT ONE THING IS FOR SURE WE LOVE ALL THREE OF

OUR PRECIOUS CHILDREN.

Jayden as Catcher

2008-06-28T14:30:00.000-07:00

Jayden just finished baseball. He played

on the Diamond Backs team. His favorite

position is pitcher just like his daddy.

I love Daddy
