9 months and the Denver Botanic Gardens

My babies are growing up!!! :( I can't believe that they are so close to a year now. Its mind blowing that they are 9 months old now. Its so fun to see them grow and develop every day. The growth is so fast that you can almost see it happening if you stare at them long enough. Its funny how quickly they learn things too. I feel like Noah picks up new 'tricks' in less than a day. He's such a quick learner! Elleanna loves to go at her own pace but once she gets something she goes crazy with it... you should see this girl roll!!

These are a few pics from their 9 month photoshoot:

Her new 'do is my favorite thing right now. Its so cute and it keeps here hair out of her eyes all day. Win win!

They are starting to stand up and noah is starting to cruise around holding on to things so I thought i'd try to capture this milestone during their photoshoot.

I can almost hear him laughing!

His smile makes me so happy!

Getting so big!

This girl and her smile! Melts me every time.

Almost crawling!

The other day the babies and I went to the Denver Botanic Gardens for Earth Day. It was a free day so it was pretty crowded but it was a beautiful day so it was worth it. 

The grass was so green for April! 

The best garden was the Tulip Garden! So many beautiful colors! I couldn't get the best picture because all Ellennna wanted to do was eat the little rocks in front of her. :/

Brian and Makenda Wedding Weekend

We were so lucky to be able to go to Brian and Makenda's wedding in April. We were there for 5 days but it went so quickly! We always have a jam packed schedule when we go to Utah because there are so many people that we want to see.

Our first stop was to see {Great} Grandpa Hank Bortolussi. Noah and Elleanna hadn't met him before so it was a special stop for us to make

Great Grandpa Hank and Noah 

4 Generations (if Grandpa Bortolussi was there)!!

The main reason we were in Utah was for Brian and Makenda's Wedding. It was an awesome couple of days being with family and celebrating the lovely couple. Its the last of the siblings to get married (until Kristen grows up... ) so it was an extra fun time.

Uncle Ben and Uncle Brian finally got to meet the twins and of course we had to snap a twin twin picture.

My two favorite sets of twins!!! Don't twinlo me, you're the twinlo. ;)

 The wedding day was perfect and beautiful. We are so happy for Brian and Makenda and are so excited that we get to have another awesome sister-in-law in the fam. We've really lucked out - all my siblings have married awesome people!!!! Can't wait for all of them to move to colorado... haha ;).

Brian and Makenda Rosell!

The day was full of fun and festivities and Noah and Elleanna did awesome. They had such a great trip even though there was a lot of driving (10 hours there, 10 hours home, plus all the driving around town for those 5 days). You can never predict how babies are going to handle being away from home for that long but they did really well. A large part of that was having a WONDERFUL hostess... THANK YOU RACHEL (and fam) for letting us crash with you! You made our trip so low stress!!

Wedding reception fun.

We had the chance to see so many more friends and family but sadly did not get pictures of them. It was fun to see all of you and we hope to get back to Utah again soon. Come visit us in Colorado anytime!!!!!!!! We'd love to have any and all of you. :)
