Our Quick Cali Trip Feb 2016

February afforded us a quick, but awesome trip to Cali!  So many of my family members got to meet the BertolaTwins for the first time, and we loved every second of it!  I love my family and I was so happy to share the boys with them!  It was so precious to me how people were actually fighting over the babies, everyone was so thrilled with them!  Of course they all loved seeing their Zander Man too, and he loved playing with his cousins!  I'm so grateful for family and especially for my 3 sweet little boys.  I love showing them off!  
Hotel morning fun in St. George.  We had some unexpected car troubles that Lance took care of early in the morning, and Zander was so helpful with the boys, allowing me to get ready for the day.  I couldn't have done it without him!  
In n out in Vegas!  We were inching closer and closer to our Bingham Peeps!  
Lance had some points for an awesome Marriott hotel, so we got to stay in absolute luxury!  Our room was incredible and the pool was such a blast!  Zander loved it!  We had the cousins come one of the nights to do some night swimming and they loved it!  We love cousins.  
Utah boy turned Cali boy!  Doesn't he look so dang cute/cool poolside?!  Notice cute Zander in the pool behind Landon.  
These two LOVED the twins!  They were so good with them and so helpful!  How I wish they lived closer.  We love you, Amanda and Maddie!  
Andrew was hamming it up so much for the camera!  He loved holding the twiners.  He's such a sweet little 4 year old.  Man, I wish we all lived closer.  Hopefully someday.  
Jessi and I with our darling boys!  These three are so special!  I have having a baby (well, two babies) at the same time Jessi has one.  That was always our childhood plan.  
Here we are pregnant with our boys June 2015!  
Part of our crew that came to Pat and Oscars one of the nights we were down. So many people came and it was such a blast!  
The triplets!  These three boys are only 2 minutes and 3 weeks apart!  
Too much cuteness for one picture!  Oh how I love little babies!  I'm so grateful to Heavenly Father for giving me two!

February 2016

February was a fun month being home with the boys and getting more use to living here in Mt. Pleasant.  Zander is currently doing basketball and indoor soccer, which has been a lot of fun to go to and watch him develop his talents.  He's so good at sports!  He's loving being back in traditional school and thriving with his school work.  He's very helpful with his little brothers!  They love it when he's home and will give him their biggest smiles.  Lance is working hard at work and has been enjoying the many side projects he loves to take on.  He's gotten involved with church basketball down here and has played a few times.  Lance and I now team teach a primary class of 6 and 7 year olds.   Landon and Zachary are 6 months old and so much fun!  Both boys have 2 teeth each and have started baby food.  They both have great appetites and love to eat!  Zachy is getting ready to crawl-once he gets it down he'll be off!  Landon has a tough time staying on his tummy and rolls over immediately. Both boys love to play with toys and put EVERYTHING in their mouth.  They love going anywhere and are always excited when we put them in their car seats.  Now that the weather has been a little warmer, we've ventured out on some walks.  Both babies enjoy the walks, but I find that Zach loves to look around and is alert the whole time.  Landon loves it and will almost always fall asleep!  Speaking of sleep--Landon has been doing fairly well, going for some long stretches and then being able to self soothe once I give him his binky when he does wake up.  Zachary has been having a harder time staying asleep for long stretches, and can't self soothe with just his binky but needs mommy to rock him back to sleep.  Both boys are now ready to not have milk during the night.  It's been so nice to just rock them back to sleep and not need to feed them.  I love my family! 
They are so big now!  
Little man wanted to be with me but I needed to cook dinner.  The rock n plays have been so handy in the kitchen!  
Such a cutie to wake up to.  
Playing playing playing 
Holding their own babas!!  It's been so nice not having to hold bottles and get that little bit of freedom.  
Kathryn and Daniel stayed with us for a weekend and it was Daniel's first time seeing the snow!  Here is Zander and Daniel playing out in the backyard.  Hide and seek?  
Landon looking so dapper after his bath!!  
Two cuties
This picture is so funny to me--I was trying to get a cute picture of Landy Lou while Zander was helping keep Zach happy.  The result--Landon would NOT look at me and Zander was calling out to me to take over with Zach because he was so overwhelmed and mess all around.  Haha...this is our real life!  
Mr. Landon got into the pile of freshly folded burp rags and had some fun with them...grrr.  
You have to look close to see it, but Zach was hanging his head upside down to see the TV.  It was pretty cute!
Pals 
This is a picture of my camera roll after trying to get a good pic of the two of them...getting good pictures is hard!  Good thing my subjects are so cute!  
All bundled up for a walk. 

That's our house in the background.  We have this fun field right by our house that's perfect for playing soccer or catch, or anything really.  
My three sons.  
Lance made us a wonderful dinner of eggplant parmigiana that was delicious!  He only cooks a few meals, but he has them mastered.  
So cute!  
Matching daddy!  
My very Bingham looking baby.  
Another walk...
I saw this and had to caption it, "When people ask me how I'm doing raising twins." Haha!  
Zander at his Gold and Blue banquet for scouts.  It was a carnival theme.  
Auntie Mima made this collage for me of the many faces of Landon.  I love it!  I'm still waiting on one for Zachy Pants (wink wink).  
Daddy helping Zachy fall asleep.  
Being cute 
I found this baby picture of Zander Man and the similarities between him and Landon are adorable!  I didn't realize how much they looked alike until this picture.  So cute!!  
My blue eyed babe.  
Just playing... 
Our ultrasound video of the twins went viral!!  Yay!  As of now, it has close to 200 K views!  Marty jokes that soon I'll get recognized on the street!  
Big boys!

Twins turn 5 months!

Landon and Zachary turned 5 months in the middle of January!  We love watching these two grow and change.  They are the sweetest little boys and we can't imagine our family without them.
