It's been a long bumpy ride so far with these boys - but we are so happy to have them here! Our little family isn't so little any more! Who ever needs some baby holding - feel free to come over! :) More details to come soon!

Our New Place

So for everyone's curiosity - this is our new place! this is the backside of it! We are just calling this home till our now house sales and we find out where our next step should be!

And I just thought I would add these - Dylan wanted his picture taken!

he took this one!

and he let mommy take this one! How cute! More updates to come soon!

Crazy Busy!

So lately things have been a little crazy.....to say the least! But I guess that is what happens when it gets close to your life changing forever and you want to make sure that everything is in place for the life altering moment! :)
This last weekend we had a Yard Sale to get rid of all our junk before the move. Even though we didn't have the best weather we got rid of quite a bit - and had a decent turn out! The night before Christina, Steve, and all the kids came down. We had a little BBQ and then put our tent up in our living room and had the boys "camp out"! It was fun to have everyone here!
After the yard sale we headed up to see my friend Megan and her little family and to play Killer Bunnies! Such a fun way to spend the evening! ;)From Back to Front...of the Bike - Ryan, Connar, Dylan, Taylor, and Haylee!

Then this upcoming weekend my baby boy is turning the big number 2! Time really does fly! He such a fun kid to have around and I can't wait to see what new adventure's he brings to our little family! His birthday is going to be on Saturday - and it will be Cars themed! Everyone is invited!

Then also this weekend we are going to be moving to our new little house in Springville...pictures to soon come. It will be so nice to have more room to spread our family out over!

And then last but not least the belly pic! Me - 34 weeks prego!

I'm now going every week for a non-stress test, every other week to see the ob, and once a month to see the specialist. After next week it will be every week to the ob as well! I have truly been blessed with this pregnancy - I've been able to work both my jobs - and still have energy to play and be a mom! It's true when you hear the lord doesn't give you anything you can't handle! I look forward to being a mom again - twice over - and all the fun adventure's that come with it! Thanks for all the support thus far - and please keep it coming! Only a few weeks left! :)

The Slacker!

That would be me! I was talking with my mom and she asked me when I was going to update my blog.......yeah I'm a slacker! So here is a little run down of our neck of the woods.

THE TWINS - at my last apt. Gavin (Baby A) was 3 lbs 11 oz - and Gage (Baby B) was 4 lbs 1 oz! It was really fun to see them - and I even got to see Gage yawn - on the ultrasound! It was way cute. They are both breech right now - and at this point they are so squished they don't think that will change! I'm now going in every week for apt's - tomorrow I have 2! It's going to be a challenge just keeping track of them all!

This is Gavin!

And this is Gage when he was yawning!

DYLAN: He's been great - and so much fun! Ty and I say on a daily basis how blessed me are to have him. He is such a good kid - makes life a whole lot easier. His birthday is coming up here in about 2 weeks. Scary to think that he is going to be 2 years old already! We met up with Christina, Steve, and all the kids - and went to a Salt Lake Bees game. We ended up getting rained out - but it was fun up until that. It was airforce day - so we got a fly by - and lots of fun stuff to take home. This was the view we had!

In other news - if everything goes to plan we should be moving out of our house the end of this month! We are only moving about 6 miles down the road to Springville - but it is a bigger house that will have room for all 5 of us....6 if you include Timber! :)

I promise from here are on I'll be great at updating my blog! ........promise! ;)

HUGE!

So 30 WEEKS and now it is almost a daily question that I get asked......."When is your baby due?"...........me: "Well THEY are not due till August!"............."TWINS!!!!!".................Me: "Yup!" And I know this conversation with random people is just going to become more frequent as my weeks slowly melt away. The twins are doing great though - and oddly I am feeling great to. I had it in my head that by now I would be so uncomfortable that I wouldn't be able to stand it - and that the Dr would be sentencing me to Bed rest! BUT quite the opposite! I'm up and running - and with our house on the market I've been busy cleaning, and packing away most of our things we don't use on a regular basis. *cross fingers* that this feeling can last forever! :)
In other news Ty, Dylan, and Timber are doing great! Ty is busy working, playing softball, and cleaning up the yard! And Dylan is just my little man who is trying to talk more and more each day! Crazy to think that in about a month he will be 2! Any who - more pic's to come!

The Great Excape!

So this last weekend - we decided to take our little family on a vacation! You know one last vacation before I get really uncomfortable and don't want to travel! So we headed south to MUCH warmer weather - St. George. We stopped by part of Zion's National Park - Kolob Canyon. It was really pretty - and they had some hiking trails we could have done - but needless to say I wasn't feeling like walking much!Here is Dylan in his birthday outfit from Grandma Rose! He looked so cute in it!

Once we got to St. George we checked into our hotel - and I had to put up my feet. I officially started swelling - especially in my legs! YA!

The next day we headed out to the Outlet Mall - and to grab some lunch at In-n-Out!Dylan didn't really know what to think about the hat they gave him - but he sure did make it look cute! :)

Then it was pool time. The hotel we stayed at had a nice outside pool that had a waterfall - and a really nice indoor pool - so we got lots of water time in! The first day we were there it got up to 96 degrees - so it was nice to cool down!

My little man in his swim suit! Watch out ladies!

The last night we were there - we went to a Mongolian BBQ restaurant. YUMMY! But the best part was - one of the ladies taught Dylan how to eat with chop sticks! AND in the process fed him for me! Needless to say - it was so cute AND so nice to be able to just eat and not worry about Dylan eating! He got pretty good at it - and they sent him home with a few pairs to practice some more!

ANY WHO - we made it home - and now it is back to reality! We should be listing our home in the next week or so AND my sister Christina just had her baby today - so needless to say we are going to be busy visiting/cleaning/going crazy! I'm glad I got a little R&R in!

Tulip Festival

This last week we took our little family and my sister Lucretia to the Tulip Festival that they have at Thanksgiving Point. The Gardens cover about 55 acre's - as you can kind of see from this picture of Ty and Dylan!

Dylan didn't really like the feeling of going down the hill - all the other kids were rolling down - and Dylan wasn't quite sure what to make of it all! Coming back up the hill with dad! And his cool-guy sunglasses half off!

Walking around the gardens I stumbled upon two very strange figure's in the bushes ready to surprise me! Who could the strange men be????

The Tulips were beautiful! And there was every color imaginable!

Also along our path we stumbled across a moose! Very scary.....and very fake! :)

All in all we had a great time and it was so nice to just relax and enjoy the beauty of the earth - and each other!

26 weeks!

So we have been crazy busy! Hence the lack of blogging! But in the craziness - we have started to get ready for Gavin and Gage. We have done some shopping and things are slowly starting to come together. Now I just need to get my hands on a sewing machine and start on all the crafts I have in my mind that I want to make for them.
TY - has been busy with work and his softball team! They are doing pretty good - next Tues. I'll remember to take the camera and snap a few pic's of him in action. He is also getting ready for the POST test and running every night. Needless to say the weight I am gaining....he is loosing! :)
DYLAN is growing so fast! Starting to talk here and there and just being a great little man for mommy! He will point to my belly and say baby - kiss it - and then wave bye-bye to it. It's really cute!
ANY WHO - also in news - we can officially announce that we will be moving from our little house the end of June - into a bigger place! As of right now the location is not known :) BUT we are actively looking and are excited for the move so we can actually set up everything we've gotten for the twins! WELL - more pictures to come soon.....promise!

Twinner News!

So I had my appointment today with the specialist - and as always I got to see how my little guys are doing. AND - all is well! Baby A is weighing in at 1 lb 7 oz and Baby B is 1lb 9 oz! They have perfect measurements and all the concerns they saw before have gone away! Here are a few pic's that we got. They were both being a little difficult so I will have to explain them! This one is a 3d - baby had both his arms up by his face - and his wrists were cris-crossed. You can see one of his hands at the top. AND you can almost see a profile! What he has his arms against is the membrane that seperates him and his brother - you can see how thin it is!

This one you can see a nose and mouth shot. It is like baby is looking down at us!

This is a foot. It's upside down and sideways! They have grown so much since I last saw them!

AND this one is my fav! Their noses are almost touching! And this is how they were most of the time - it was like they were talking to each other face to face - so cute! Any who - it was a great day!

Happy Late Easter

For Easter - Ty, Dylan, and I took the long trip over to my sister Christina's house to do a little easter egg hunt and bbq. This easter Dylan was a lot more "into it" then last easter so we made it a little more fun! Ryan was great to help Dylan out and show him the ropes of how to look for the eggs! Dylan did quite well and found about 5!!!

His easter basket looked like a baseball - so he loved it - and has still yet to put it down. He will pack all of his cars in there and carry it around the house! SO cute!

He also got to play with some bubble's with his cousin! We all had a really fun time hanging out and just relaxing!

And this is what happend afterwards! He plays hard and then sleeps hard! :) All in all it was a successful day and all of us had way too much to eat!

Tomorrow I have a dr's appointment so more pic's of the twins will come!

23 Weeks & Counting!

Here is the latest pic of my belly! I went to my Dr's appointment today and everything looks great and right on track! We are getting more and more excited to see these little ones - but I can definitely wait!! Next week we have the yucky glucose test, an appointment with the specialist, and a little bit of baby shopping - so we will be busy!

We have for sure picked the names Gavin and Gage! But we are still working on middle names. We know we want them to be family names - so that is making it a little harder! ;) People have asked me if I can tell who is who - and if they fight etc. Truth is there is just movement everywhere and it's hard to tell if it's a arm, leg, or elbow! The only time I know exactly where they are is when I see them on the ultrasound! I'm loving it though! Here's to 16 more weeks!

Cross Fingers!

So Ty has been invited to test for the Farmington, New Mexico Police Department. He is going down this weekend - and if all goes well we should know if he is in or out! :) Yeah!

What we've been up to

So to prove to everyone that we have more going on - then just the twins! I decided to take a few pictures of what we've been up to the past couple of weeks. First off - Ty's brother Dave was in Ogden on a job - so each weekend he would come down and spend it with us. It was fun to get to know him and show him a little of Utah. We went to Cabella's and showed him the fish! They are huge - I also got to try Bison - not too bad!

K - this makes us look like really big nerds - but we put this puzzle together! 2000 pieces - it took us about a month but we got the Las Vegas strip together!

Ty - has also been getting his motorcycle good to go. It is quite the process! But it is going to save us a lot of money - so we are happy - and he looks pretty cool in all his gear! ;)

And Dylan likes to do whayever daddy does - he looks pretty cute in the helmet too!And even though it has been a little cold here - Spring is still on it's way. This is our apricot tree! Now I know where the song comes from -Popcorn popping on the apricot tree!

Then last but not least - here is the latest belly pick! I had just got home from work so that is why I look so.....glowing in my scrubs! 21 weeks down- 18 to go!

Update!

It's time for another twin update! This is me about a week ago at 19 weeks along! ANY WHO - today I had my appointment with the specialists - and everything is looking great! Both babies are still boys (phew!) and both weigh about a pound each! I got to see both babies and every little thing about them is adorable......but I am the mom! :) Below are a few pictures of my fun.....stress relieving day!
Baby B's foot! On Baby A's foot we could see that the 2nd toe was longer then the first....
just like mine!
Close up of Baby A's face!

Baby A's body profile!

And Baby B's profile!

Doctor also said that we should plan for a July 28th delivery - unless problems arise and then it will most likely be around July 14th! Mark your calendar's!

Cars

Little known fact about my son - that some may or may not know is that he is OBSESSED with all that is Cars the movie.

This is him on a typical day and what he likes! He Car shoes AND socks, his Car toy and his Car sippy! AND this is just the tip of the iceburg. I know I've contributed to his love but he really does get excited- and it is so cute - who can say no!

What I'm really surprized about is that the movie still runs - with as many times as he watches it - you would think that the dvd laser would have burned a hole in it! :)

In other news - I have an appointment tomorrow with the doc - so we will have a babies update!!!! SIDE NOTE: does anyone know where I can get a t-shirt for Dylan that says BIG BROTHER on it! I want one for him to wear when the twins are born!

17 Weeks!

I've been telling everyone that I feel like my belly is growing daily! And here is the proof! This is the same shirt I was wearing in the last pic. - can you tell a differance! and that is just 2 weeks! Its getting a little harder to do the whole bend over and pick things up - and the up and down routine of life! But that is just what comes with the territory. Last night after Ty took this picture - He said "I'm so glad I'm not a women! Cause being pregnant just doesn't look comfortable!" Amen to that one!!! But it is all worth it in the end......right! Just kidding! Any who - more picture's about Dylan, Timber, and Ty to come!
