My cup runneth over

We blessed the twins on Sunday. It was a beautiful day and I was once again reminded of how much I am blessed. Two more sweet angels to add to the others. Honestly, everytime I think about it I am completely overwhelmed. The joy that comes from my little family is beyond words! I get so giddy everytime the babies smile or my older boys do something sweet or funny or whatever...I am the proud mother and so grateful that I get to stay home and enjoy every minute I have with these little guys that are growing up too fast! I wish that I could adequately express the feelings of happiness all five of my boys bring to me, but have realized long ago it isn't possible.
We blessed them at our ward and then went to a park for breakfast. We wanted to get a picture with Max and Bode too, but they were off with their cousins having too much fun and it wasn't worth the effort.
My sweet mom!
My cute nieces and nephews.
Oblivious that it is their special day.

The twins are getting more and more fun and interactive! They are so happy and will sit and smile and talk away. They are at such a fun stage. They still sleep a lot and are still sweet and small, but yet they sleep a good chunk of the night and the newborn stage is over. I am feeling like we are finally on top of things again for the most part. Max and Bode still love them and it is pretty sweet...and scary at times as well.

The other day Dexter was laying by me and Max came and laid by him and put his arm around him and laid there for a bit, then I heard him whisper to him, "I love you so so much!" Melts my heart!
For bedtime stories we have moved it to my bed. I have all the boys line up and then I sit in front of them and hold the book up so they can all see. The babies love it too and then they don't get fussy while I am doing stories with the other two. It is pretty fun! I had to take some pictures so I could remember the sweet sight I get to look at.

They have grown so much and as you can see they aren't going to fit like this in their crib together much longer.
Seriously, I am in love!

I can't believe that you are sustaining the lives of the twins. They look so fat and healthy. They are very cute babies as well. PS we will be home for christmas. I can't wait to meet them.

Your boys are SO cute! The twins are just to die for, so scrumptious. I don't know how you do it though. You have double what I have and I have a hard time!! :) Hope to see you guys soon.

These are such cute pictures!! Your boys are so cute!!! I know you probably get that all the time. I'm pregnant now and sometimes get to uncomfortable or start to complain, but like your tired post says "it's all worth it!"
