Life Changing Events


Some things change your life for a day, week, month, or even a year. Having twins changes your life forever!! Kendra and I are very exhausted but also very happy to have Kimball and Koria in our family. Born in March, they are now almost 6 months old and seem to grow about an inch a day (they were 20" when born, and are now both over 28"). We're afraid that we've got a couple of giants for kids!

Obviously, it has taken me a long time to update my blog. One of the biggest changes from having twins is that I no longer have any time! But, I have to admit that it is a lot of fun to come home and play with the kids every day (especially now that they actually smile and acknowledge my presence once in awhile).

As for other, more minor changes, I started a new job working for the State of Utah as a Human Resource Analyst back in January. I'm now 7 months into it, and I still love going to work every day. That's always a good sign. Kendra and I moved into our new house in June. This is the first time we have purchased a home, so it was a little scary, especially after signing my name and writing my initals for the 1,000th time on the loan papers (no, we weren't quite able to pay cash for the house). The only television shows Kendra and I watch anymore are the home decorating shows on HGTV and TLC. If we had any spare money, maybe we could actually do some decorating to our home, but in the meantime it is fun to see what other people do. We did paint our living room a sage green, but other than that, everything is still white and plain. And I might add that painting a room is quite challenging when you have to stop every 10-15 minutes to take care of your babies.

All of this has made for a very exciting 2006!
