It has been almost two weeks since my parents left. The time has flown by, but it also feels like forever since they were here. I definetely miss all their help. At times it can be a bit overwhelming, especially on the days when Ty is gone all day. Our typical day starts around 5 AM. On a good day, they have all slept through the night. Unfortunately, Josh and Austin tend to wake up at least once a night (although, Josh has been doing a lot better lately). I've been working hard to get the kids on a schedule. Normally I can get the twins down to nap around 8, and Josh around 9. They will usually sleep for 2-3 hours and then want to play for a while. Afternoon naps are around 2-3. Bedtime is usually round 8-8:30. They are pretty good about all getting to sleep by 8:30. Everyday is different though and I usually have at least 1-2 babies awake at a time. By 5 they are all awake. Ty has been a great help. He'll take the babies in the morning. Make sure they are all changed and fed. He leaves for work around 7. Luckily he has been able to come home for lunch. This gives me a chance to shower or take a quick nap. He gets off work around 6 and is a huge help at night playing with the kids and getting them ready for bed. We make a great team, I don't know what I'd do without Ty. Anyway, below are a few pictures from the past couple weeks.
All ready for Church. Getting the kids ready for Church is quite the ordeal. We're lucky to have our friend Alisson here to help us out. I don't think we could do it alone. Our new ward is awesome, they have been so friendly and really helpful.
Mickey Mouse is my hero. The kids love him and he really helps keep them happy while I get bottles ready, change diapers, etc.
Storytime. Ty loves to read to the kids, and they love quality time with Daddy.
These two are the best of buds. Austin thinks Josh is the funniest guy around. Once Josh realized he could get Austin to laugh, he'll put on little "shows" for him.
I seriously turned my head for a second and when I looked back Josh was covered in his food. Silly boy!
Austin has turned into a great napper. He'll take 2-3 naps a day, anywhere from 1-3 hours at a time. He's a happy little guy who LOVES attention!
Getting ready for bed.
I LOVE rocking my babies to sleep. They are so precious sleeping. =)

Schedules rock, babies do so much better on schedules. Sounds like a lot of work:) Yet well worth it:) Beautiful children.
Kathy, these pictures are so cute of the kids. I love the Mickey Mouse picture of all three kids watching. That's hilarious. And the picture of Ty reading is darling. What a great post! It's so much fun to Skype with these little babies.
Holy cow Kath...you are BUSY! Wow. They are all getting so big and cute. Love the updates.
