September so far

I decided to do a quick blog post on what I've been up to so far this month! Here are some pictures I found on the camera so I thought they'd made a fun blogpost.


New to Old

Janeal, Mom, and I went up to Artist Point to hike to table mountain. It was all fun until I got home and realized I'd lost my little phone that I used like an iPod while sliding down one of the hills. That was pretty disappointing. 


The view

We were all about those shortcuts

The four of us get to be part of the Christmas Eve service this year! I thought all these notebooks with our names on them were fun because it means we all get to do it!

Ya know...making a s'more over a candle is totally normal....

Man on a mission. Who cares that his pants were getting wet. 

Fishing at the river!

That little smile is so adorable!!

Zach wanted to take the twins and himself fishing, but we didn't end up catching anything...

And of course....school.

Nephew update

I thought awhile ago that I haven't written about my nephews for awhile now so I should do a post dedicated just to them. I keep wanting to call them the Twins but now Dwight is with the twins so usually I just call them the Boys. They sure are a cute bunch. These pictures are some of my favorites that I took this month. 

 During the beginning of the month, Zach took Karin to Seattle for her brithday so we got all 3 of the boys! It was a lot of fun having them. Our house was soo hot though during the evening and I think Dwight was getting uncomfortable. Poor Baby Dwight. We still call him Baby Dwight and the twins pronounce his name, DEE white!




Benjamin is defiantly more of the boy who will smile for me when I take a picture so whenever I take a picture of him, I'll say, "Aw, thats a nice picture!" Then Alexander will be like, "Take picture of me!" then he'll usually not look or do something goofy/creative like this picture:
Alexander


Or this picture. Those yellow thing are his shoulders. I actually really love this picture.  


 The twins have finally figured out that Benjamin's freckle on his cheek makes him Benjamin and Alexander is Alexander because he doesn't have a freakle. So sometimes I'll trick them by saying, "Alexander, how do you know you aren't Benjamin?" then he'll say, "Cuz I don't have freakle!" so
I think their smiles give them away though. Benjamin usually
really big and closes his eyes a little but not Alexander. Haha
when they were here awhile back, I got a brown pen and drew a little freakle on his cheek and said, "Now you're Benjamin!" He got the hugest kick out of that. I showed him himself in the mioror and he was just laughing and laughing and saying, "I'm Ben duhmen!
Yes, that is how they say Benjamin and Alexander's name is pronouced, "Anti lan toe' really fast though.
Dad holding them right after they woke up from a nap. 

Benjamin at William's birthday party last week. Isn't his smile just the cutest?


See, he gets this goofy little face whenever I ask him to smile. Its kinda funny though because he knows he is just being goofy and then he'll just laugh at his face whenever he sees what he looks like. :)

Then we have Benjamin who smiles pretty normally. Whenever he sees a picture of himself, he will go, "Awww.." :) 

The twins also have a sort of new thing of saying, "I beat you!" They love beating people. They beat in racing, in eating food, and in who came out of Mommy's tummy first. So Benjamin will win in something and Alexander will say, "I came out of Mommy't tummy first so I beat you!" then Benjamin will get all concerned. One time I told them that I came out of my mommy's tummy before they did and Alexander will say, "No, I came out of Mommy's tummy first so I beat you!"

Another cute thing they do is when they are asking a question they will start it by saying, "I thought...." and then ask whatever their question is. So once Michael was praying before lunch and Benjamin right afterwards was like, "I thought why we pray?"  It is a unique way of asking a question but it is cute.




This is when he was rolling over. Karin and I were watching him
and he did roll over about 3 times! 
 Now we get to Dwighty boy. He is just the cutest, happiest, nicest, little baby I know! He'll just smile and he really is adorable. But I think he is a little shy of the camera kind of like Alexander so whenever I get it out to take a picture, he usually stops smiling. One day I'll get a good picture of him. :) He just started rolling over. He just gets bigger and bigger every time I see him! I don't have a lot of cute quotes and stuff to say about him yet like I do the twins, but I'm sure I will once he gets bigger and starts talking!! :)
Isn't that little face so cute?!

Me and Dwight!

1st Birthday...

I can't believe that it is already the twins 1st Birthday! It seems like just yesterday that they were born! And since I feel like writing, I am going to write all about how we found out they were having twins, when they were born, etc.

  It was a cold, wet day on March 8th when we found out that Karin was having twins. I remember listening to Adventures in Odyssey in the family room while painting a paint by number picture. I was just painting when I heard the phone ring. Pausing my Odyssey, I took off my head phones so I could hear who was calling. I heard Mom say, "Oh, hi Zach!" I thought, "Oh, it is Zach. Cool." then I put back on my head phones and decided that I could ask Mom what he said later. I was painting for awhile and I had completely forgotten that Zach was on the phone when all of a sudden I heard Mom go, "WOHOO!!!!" and Janeal scream really loud. I quickly ripped off the head phones and said, "What's wrong?!" They were both smiling really big and they just kind of looked at me and started to go upstairs. "WHATS WRONG?????" I shouted so they could hear me.  Janeal looked at me and said, "Zach and Karin are having twins!!!!!!" You know how some people say that when they heard really good news their world just kind of stood still for a second or too? Well, this happened to me. I was just standing there for like 2 seconds thinking, "Zach and Karin. Twins. Twins?? Zach and Karin are having twins?!" Then I started screaming! I ran out to the garage and said, "Zach and Karin are having twins!!" to William. He came running in and and by this time Tommy had heard the news too. Mom talked to Zach for a little bit longer and then hung up. She told us how Zach told her told her.  We decided to wait until both Michael and Dad were home from work to tell them both at once. 
 When Dad came home we were all trying our best not to give it away. Dad came up to me and said, "Can you tell me any news?" I was thinking, "Yah, I could tell you some really big news but I can't" I just kind of said, "Uhhhhh? Hmmmm." Then I hurried back to the family room so I wouldn't give it away by smiling. Michael wasn't home yet for dinner so we had to have it without him. Every once in a while I would look out the window to see if he was coming yet. He finally came and we waited till he was done with dinner and then we got dessert. It was then that Mom said, "Zach called today." Dad said, "Oh, Zach called! What did he say?" She told them how she had asked about William going to visit and she said, "Then Zach said that if William came in October he could play with the twins. I asked him what he was talking about and Zach said that he could play with their twins! So Zach and Karin are having twins!" Dad was like, "Wohooo!!" and  Michael was smiling really big. 
 During the pregnancy you could often find me on facebook (through Grandma's account) looking for pictures of Karin or stuff she had written about how it was going.  I loved all the pictures of her and watching her get bigger and bigger! 

16 weeks...
                                                                           

to 32 weeks






(jumping ahead to Sept. 17, 2011)  I woke up that morning and  just laid in bed. Probably the twins were already born by now.  The day before we had found out that Karin had to have a c-section so they were going to be born around 8:00. I went downsairs and found Dad standing in the kitchen with his phone. "Caroline, listen," he said as he read a text from Zach,  "Twins are born. Alexander at 8:09 and Benjamin at 8:10. "  I was so excited. =)

Benjamin 
These two pictures were taken the day they were born


I love this picture

...and this one too!




(Jumping ahead again! =) On the 23rd of December Dad, Mom, William, and I headed to the Seattle air port to pick up Zach and Karin and the twins. Dad dropped us off at the air port and then went to find a parking spot. I saw them and I also saw that they were both holding the twins in one of those front pack thingys. Zach had one and Karin had one. I don't think I even said hi to Zach and Karin, I just wanted to see the twins. (poor Zach and Karin! =) I remember Zach taking off his front pack and giving Benjamin to Mom. I quickly said, "Can I hold him, Mom?" She gave him to me and I got to hold him for about 5 seconds and then I had to put him in his car seat thing. The next morning I was telling Dad how I got to hold him just for a little bit and he said, "That probably just made your trip right there."  I nodded.  Christmas break was really fun that year! We all enjoyed holding them and playing with them!








So in closing, I will leave you with some more pictures: (And thanks to Karin for taking all the pics of the boys!=)

Happy Birthday, Alexander and Benjamin!    Love, Aunt Caroline <3
