Boys Update:
Caleb is doing great. He is looking forward to going to school in the fall and relishing in his independence when he gets to go have play dates with Uncle Charlie without his mom and little brothers. He's had 3 dentist appointments already this year, 1 for cleaning, 1 for a crown, and 1 for fillings on the other side of his mouth. He was a champ and did a great job at them, but we're hoping to avoid further dental expenses for that kid.
David is finally sleeping again, has learned to love primary, and really enjoys being one of the big boys in the house. He misses Caleb terribly when he leaves to have fun without him, and is finally going potty consistently. I cursed myself to the hardest potty training ever with that kid by waiting so long to start. He's still my hard headed stubborn booger, but he gives me lots of laughs. My favorite was the other day, when he was trying to figure out how the babies got in my tummy and asked if I had eaten them. He loves learning and his 2 favorite words are Why and How.
Ezekiel is making a stand for his independence, and does not like being picked up by my friends or the young women at church. He loves to wander the halls and will approach the brethren he meets and try to start up a conversation with them, but studiously avoids women and girls. If he gets scooped up, he avoids eye contact with a sullen pout until they hand him back to me or put him back down. Crazy little stinker. Caleb and David always loved any and all forms of attention, so this is new for me and rather amusing.
Byron: He is loving his work and assuming more responsibility all of the time. The team leader for his main project at work has been reassigned, so Byron has been asked to fill the position. He loves working with the interns and his co-workers on problem solving and has become the "go-to" guy for any and all questions on how to find shortcuts or new features in the programs they're creating or using. One of the interns has proclaimed himself Byron's "mini-me" and aspires to be the next BerrieHill Python expert. Byron is most excited about being asked to officially be their Python expert, and the company is sending him to a huge conference in Texas in July which he will then come home and do some training on for the company. He's really excited and can't wait for the trip. In part because he gets to spend 4 days surrounded by fellow engineers and learn all he can from them, and also because he got to add a couple of days to his trip so he can visit Craig and Mindy/s family and meet their baby that's coming in April.
I am also glad he gets to go on this trip, and contemplated attempting a road trip to Nauvoo without him so I could attend my Aunt and Uncle's family sealing, but since we found out we're expecting twins, and figuring out I'll be 31 weeks by that time, we've decided it's safest for me to stay home with the boys. I'm sad to be missing such a beautiful event, but know it's for the best.
We are both looking forward to the joy these little blessings will bring, but we're also in the midst of trying to figure everything out. Unfortunately we had to find a new home for our dog. She was getting a little too active, nipping at the boys as they ran around the house, and she bit David's finger when he wouldn't leave her alone, so we knew we couldn't keep her around our little ones. We all miss her, even David, since the little nut still wasn't afraid of her, but getting all of the dog hair fur of our house is such a relief. I knew she was shedding, I just hadn't realized how much.
We have to do some serious re-arranging to clear out the room that will be used for the twins, and I started it last Friday by moving the twin bed into the boys room, and taking the crib out. Ezekiel has some big changes coming, since by the end of the month (maybe even this week) we are going to begin the transition into his twin size bed, start potty training, and he'll go into nursery in 2 more weeks (seriously excited for that one!)
I'm organizing toys, trying to make room for everything and give myself a better cleanup system since things are a little hairy scary over here.
Our next ultrasound is on April 14th, and I'm looking forward to finding out their genders. My mom teased me yesterday saying they won't be able to tell because it will be too crowded, but I'm praying she's wrong.
I better close here before this gets too long. I keep thinking of more things to type and don't want to overwhelm anyone with a storybook. Feel free to call, text, email, or contact me in any way! I miss you lovely people and love hearing from you!!!!!
Hope you all have a beautiful week.

| This is the pictures we used to announce we were having twins! It is the only picture of the twins together from the last ultrasound - they said everything looks normal, the babies look healthy, and they're fraternal. I can't wait to find out more. |
 |
| This was what we WANTED to do for the twin announcement, but this was the best picture I could get, so I gave up. |
 |
| The beautiful pictures my friend took so we could surprise our family. |
 |
| Katrina helped me make the signs and they turned out beautifully! |
 |
| We love 60 degree weather that allows picnics at the park! |
 |
| Matching dresses and some serious baby bumps! (I have some catching up to do hahaha) I love these two girls! |
 |
| Uncle Ben and Aunt Liz received their endowment last month. Getting to spend the day at the temple with family was so special and I am so grateful I got to be there. |
