Twins and their babes

There are SO many things I need to post about: Abby's birthday, my high school reunion, Seth's farewell, Seth entering the MTC, etc. etc. etc. But for now this will have to suffice. A picture of my twin and our babies. It's so awesome that we are both parents. And surprisingly, I wasn't one bit jealous of Samuel's attention. I love that little bundle of ... grunting joy! Abby absolutely loves him too. That's good news for me. Anyway, here's a couple pictures. The other is of Abby at a friend's reception. I promise to post again soon. :) Plus, we're moving back to Provo tomorrow so we'll have TONS more time to blog. Love y'all.

Prayers for Ashton

Hey, if any of you are still awake and reading this, could you please pray for Ashton? She was scheduled for a gall bladder removal on Tuesday, but she had another attack tonight and Stephen and my mom just took her to the emergency room. If it's way bad, they'll have to do the surgery tonight. If not, then they'll just try to wait it out until Tuesday. But between now and then she could have another attack. So please pray for her. Just pray that everything will goes as it should and that she will be all right.

Thanks for you love and support.

Happy birthday, Jesse!

Why did this never get posted? This was from Jesse's birthday. We did a Toy Story cake and he was spoiled with love. Fortunately his family was in town so we got to celebrate with them! So here's Jesse's cake, Jesse and Abby blowing out the candles, and Jesse sporting his NES belt buckle. We love you, Jesse!

Welcome baby Samuel Martin!

Stephen (my twin) and Ashton had their baby at 10:30 a.m. on Pioneer Day! He weighed 7 lbs 5 ounces and was 19 inches long. He is SO beautiful! And Stephen says he looks even more cute since we've seen him now that he's not all swollen and such. :) I think he's amazingly beautiful.




Ashton always looks good regardless of what she does: weeding, cleaning, having a baby... it never ceases to amaze me. ;)
Abby was SUPER excited about "baby sanul." She thinks he is "so cute."


Abby has her hand around Samuel's back. She posed for the camera. "So cute!"

The ride home from Provo. These two were tuckered out. :)

ABC Hip hop with Miles

My baby's favorite music video EVER. Actually, I quite enjoy it too. WAY more fun to sing than the traditional way.



You can find it on pbskids.org/sesame if any of your kids want to watch it. Loves to all!
