LINDON — Identical twins Kelli Wall and Kerri Bunker teach at the same school, are married to best friends and are building houses next to one another.

And within about the last six weeks, they each gave birth to their second set of twins.

The sisters gave birth to their first set of twins 11 months apart several years ago, and last summer, each learned they were pregnant with their second set.

Wall gave birth to little Kyler and Kenadee Jan. 11 — with the babies weighing 4 pounds 5 ounces and 4 pounds 2 ounces, respectively. They arrived about two months early.

After spending several weeks in the hospital, the fraternal twins came home just last Thursday and are doing fantastic, according to their mother.

Wall is also doing well — much better now that she's not pregnant — and she's grateful that the babies are here.

Since the birth of her youngest twins, life is chaotic in some ways, Wall said. Her 5-year-old twin girls are very helpful, and while sometimes they are too helpful, other times they make life easier.

"Whatever perspective you look at it, I love it," Wall said. "I mean, I wouldn't want to change it for the world. But, it's crazy. … We've only had the babies home for a few days, and so we really haven't gotten into the heart of what our schedule is going to look like, especially when I finally decide to go back to work. And so we'll deal with the crazy moments one day at a time."

Bunker gave birth to her twins — Kash (4 pounds, 12 ounces) and Jace (5 pounds, 10 ounces) — Feb. 13, six weeks before their due date.

Her boys are still in the neonatal intensive care unit trying to learn to eat on their own and gain weight, but they are doing very well, Bunker said.

"I actually hope that my twins have the same special bond my twin sister and I have," Bunker said. "And I hope they always treat them as best friends and people to confide in … and talk to and I hope they always have a close relationship like my twin sister and I."

She also hopes their kids have a great relationship with each other.

"Life is about to get very crazy," Bunker said.

Wall and Bunker both delivered their babies at Timpanogos Regional Hospital and resided in the same neonatal intensive care unit wing for several days together.
