Hallie was born first at 4 lbs. 15 oz. and 18 inches long and Mikayla 2 minutes later at 5 lbs. 5 oz. and 19 inches long.

Easter Fun

The kids sure had fun coloring eggs and decorating our Easter branches. They went on an Easter egg hunt in grandview with their Grandma Merrick too. Lots of Easter fun. With all the festivities they still remembered that Easter is about our Savior "coming to life again."

Elise's Birthday

Our little princess on her birthday. She wanted a princess party and we celebrated with her preschool and at home with family that evening. She was in heaven and kept saying how much she loved her birthday.

Elise really wanted dress up clothes and horses. Her two favorite things to play! She had to try things on right away!

Twin girls on the way!

Hello family and friends! We decided this would be a great way to keep everyone up to date on the next big change in our lives with the birth of our twins! I promised some of you a belly picture so here it is. Laura at 30 weeks.
