Update

It's been a little while since I have blogged. Life has been full of excitement and change. Devin's been travelling a lot with work. I went to Utah to help Michele with her new baby by myself . We SOLD our house! Devin turned 30!! Now we are moving to Corvallis, OR in first part of July instead of August! Our summer is just getting started here in Alaska and the twins have been enjoying the weather. They love being outside and helping around the yard. Here they were helping Devin fix his trailer.

Happy Grandma Pehrson

Pictures 15 Months

Here are some pictures of the twins that were taken at JC Penney last week. It was almost a year ago when we went and got their 3 month pictures taken. They were so small and delicate and didn't really smile yet. Now, I can hardly believe that they are running around and making each other giggle. What cute little people they are turning into. Their smiles and laughter make it the best part of being a parent. Enjoy!

Silly Kiddos

I was looking through all my posts and realized that they are all about the kids. Right now the twins keep us entertained and busy leaving nothing else important to post about. So enjoy these silly pictures of our silly twins.

A big kid trying to get into a small space. Pretty flexible. Maybe he'll be a gymnast.

Lindsey watching Sesame Street on the couch.
Dylan being silly by insisting on wearing this pink ribbon. Pink looks good on him wouldn't you say?
Lindsey decided that her favorite shirt to wear is one of Momma's. She went around for about an hour wearing it :)
One day while I was folding clothes the twins were bored and kept getting into things. Lindsey found this hat and scarf. It is actually from a snowman making kit I've had for a few years. This hat has been the means of entertainment for many hours. They put it on and chase each other around the house. We have had lots of laughs and smiles. This is such a fun stage!

St. Patrick's Day

Here are some pictures on St Patrick's Day. For Dinner we had Irish Soda Bread, Irish Potatoes, green jello, and green salad. I love St. Patrick's day!!

I have decided I needed to do several blogs today or I would never do them. So scroll on down and see them all. That's what's new with us!

Iditarod

On Saturday we went to the ceremonial start of the Iditarod. We had a great time watching the sled dog teams pass by. Couldn't have asked for a more perfect day! Side Note: On our way into Anchorage we saw 7 Moose!! Only in ALASKA!

Jeff King If you notice he is riding on skis.

The Annual Fur Rondy was going on as well in Anchorage. We went to see the Snow Sculpture Contest. There were some great pieces. This was our favorite!

Walking and Playing with Grandma Lucas

Here are a couple of videos that we have taken the last few weeks.

Climbing

The Twin's favorite thing to do right now is climb. I didn't realize this until I looked at all my pictures. Most of them were of Dylan and Lindsey climbing in things. Mostly things they're not supposed to :) Here are some pics of their mischievous adventures of climbing.

Cute kids in the laundry basket.

Dylan liked dumping all his balls and figured out all the different was to climb on the train.
Lindsey joined in on all the fun.

Twins = Trouble
Twins = Double Trouble (Now Lindsey's favorite thing to do is stand up once in the drawer and get the TV. Naughty Naughty. that is why I do not have pictures.)

Sledding

A few weeks ago we had a nice big snow fall and decided to go sledding down our driveway. The only advantage to having a driveway on a hill is the fact that it is the perfect sledding hill for one year olds. It took awhile for the twins to get used to the idea of going fast down the hill but they eventually go the hang of it and enjoyed themselves!

At the top of the "hill".
Dylan never did cracked a smile but at least we got the binky out of his mouth. That told us he was starting to enjoy it :)
Going back up the hill.

Oregon State Here We Come!!!!!

Our exciting news has finally arrived after waiting for several months to know the answer. Devin was selected for the Long Term Training benefit his work gives out each year. He will be getting his Doctorate in Public Health! We will be moving in the fall and are excited for this opportunity. Although we are sad to leave AK, we will be back after he is finished continuing on with his current job.
