just like his big brother!

McKay has always loved his big brother

I think Crew may be a bit afraid of Beck

(seriously, but i can't blame him, really),

but McKay always laughs at Beckley.

(even when beck is lying on top of him!)

McKay already wants to be just like his big brother...

he got a helmet just like Beckley!

McKay was pretty squished by Crew in my belly 

(some of you probably saw my lopsided belly)

and thus had torticollis

which contributed to his plagiocephaly.

Here are some pics from McKay's helmet experience so far...

he had to wear this little "doo rag" during fittings

so sweet!

hanging out waiting for our appointment to get his helmet.

the twins have not gone many places without each other

so this was sorta a big deal.

mckay's big day out with mommy & daddy.

trying out his helmet!

his faces crack me up!

he was all smiles and didn't seem to mind the helmet at all...

let's hope that continues!

before and after

we've been busy this week!

i hosted a baby shower yesterday...

which served as excellent motivation

to get a lot of my house "to do"s done.

we were up until 4AM one night,

but we got lots done.

here is one project - before and after.

this chandelier has bugged us since we moved in...

we always thought we'd just eventually buy a new one,

but now i don't know... 
all it took was some paint & new shades,
and, i'm sorta loving it.

yugs

brothers don't shake hands....

brothers gotta hug!

-Tommy Boy

or, "brothers don't shake yands,
brothers gotta yug" as Beck would say.

Beck's hugs usually involve practically 

laying on top of one of the babies... 

bless his heart. 
(or should i say "yeart")

so, this is a safe version

of one of Beck's "yugs".

he sure does love his brothers!

vacation over.

well, we definitely aren't in hawaii anymore.

first off, there is snow outside.

and, we have 3 sick boys

(colds, teething & crew has another ear infection)

which means we aren't sleeping much over here these days.

(McKay slept 12 hours straight a few nights while we were in hawaii...

and Crew wasn't far behind him...

and, we had help during the nights...

so, waking up every hour or two again is feeling pretty brutal.)

luckily, my mom did come back with us

and it has been great to have her help

and someone for me and the boys to play with!

happy st patrick's day!

my boys aren't wearing much green today...

but, they did one day last week in hawaii.

does that count?

we have a few more days in hawaii...

but, here is a little bit of what we have been up to 

according to my instagram pics

the weather has been pretty bad,

so we are hoping for some more sunshine

during our last few days in paradise...

regardless though, it has been so nice 

to have so much help from my family...

and to be able to SLEEP!

ALOHA!
