Around the House

Here are a few pictures from around the house over the past few weeks. As you can imagine, we don't get out a lot as a family yet.

Happy 14th Birthday Brooke

Today the entire Bettorf family of five went to our first family gathering - a celebration for Brooke's birthday.

The babies in their cute rock 'n roll outfits (Thank you Aunt Lynn and cousin Kelly).

Carnival Fun

Since Mommy was feeling better, we decided to take the babies to Nina's and take Jayden to a local carnival for the afternoon. It was a surprise and he couldn't have been more excited when he saw the rides.

Picking the animal he wanted to ride.

We ran into cousin Larry and his little one, Abby. It was nice because it gave Jayden someone to ride rides with.

Yummy! Enjoying some carnival food.

Daddy was brave enough to take Jayden and Abby up in the ferris wheel by himself.

Jayden's Baby Elmo

With the twins home, we are seeing Jayden imitating Mommy and Daddy more and more each day.

Here is Jayden swaddling Elmo in a baby blanket.

And Jayden feeding Elmo a bottle. He even burps him (but must have a burp cloth) when he is finished eating. Its so cute!!

Say Cheese!

First Bath at Home

Today we made a family event out of the twins first bath at home.

Tayler didn't seem to mind the water.

Jayden washing Tayler.

Hadley wasn't so happy with the water.

Happy to be clean.

Coming Home!

Today Jayden and Daddy came and picked up Mommy and babies from the hospital. Welcome home precious angels!!

The Boys

We took the boys to get their pictures today for Memaw's upcoming birthday. They are growing up so fast.

Ella's 3rd Birthday Party

Today we went to Jayden's friend Ella's 3rd birthday party. Jayden had a great time playing at the park and of course eating birthday cake!

Ella getting ready to eat her birthday cake.

Oh, what a mouth!!!

Happy Mother's Day!

Today was Mother's Day and first we went to Nena's house to work in the yard - Mama took it very easy due to being 8 months pregnant with twins.

Daddy and Jayden taking a break on the deck to eat lunch.

Then it was off to Memaw and Paw Paw's for dinner. The boys played in the yard before we ate.

Paw Paw showing the boys his helmet.

Carpet in the Basement

As many of you know, Daddy and Jayden have been working really hard to get the basement finished before the babies arrive. Today when Papi and Mimi brought Jayden home you would have thought it was Christmas...there was carpet in the basement. Jayden was so excited and ran around like a mad man (hence, the blurry pictures). He just kept yelling, "there is carpet in here and carpet in here" as he ran to each room in the basement.
