In True Adalynn Style...

......I've found the way to get myself busier then I ever imagined! And the twins have nothing to do with this! :) Seriously - right after the twins were born I was thinking and feeling like the days were just dragging on FOREVER. BUT- I am now filling my days and it feels great! No wonder I got twins!

Here are a few pic's of what we did this last weekend!

We headed a little south to a town called Bicknell, Utah and hung out at a ranch! It was lots of fun and both Ty and I got to ride a horse bare back! This was actually Ty's first time EVER being on a horse. Dylan wasn't too excited about the horse - but he did feed them apples and grain!AND here I am! Proof that I did ride the horse! ;)The ranch was REALLY close to Capital Reef National Park. It is so pretty with all the red rock cliffs!There were tons of Petryglyphs to look at.

And we got to tour this old flour mill that was built 100+ years ago by pioneers.

And for a treat we got to try the famous pickle and lima bean pie! no joke! it was good!

All in all it was a great trip AND much needed! We have a few more adventure's up our sleeve so more pictures will be coming soon!

My Boys!

These three little diapers..... I mean little men have been keeping me busy! It's a good busy - and the reason why I haven't posted in forever. It is so fun to be a mom of 3! Each day things get easier and we settle into a routine. To catch everyone up on all of us........

Ty - Has been working hard and playing hard when he is home. At the end of this month he is headed out to Wisconsin for a job interview. If things are as good as they sound we might be moving out there for him to take this job. MORE DETAILS TO COME SOON!

Dylan - has been a great older brother. He LOVES to give kisses and loves to his brothers. He is talking more each day, loves to go on walks with Mom, loves his cars, AND now loves his "monkey" Curious George! He is silly! We also got his 2 year old pic's done (finally) so I will be posting those soon as well!

Gavin - Is still our little professor. He is really into looking around and trying to explore his world. He has the same grumpy face as Dylan - so I think I know what he is going to look like when he get's older! He got weighed the other day and is a little over 9lbs!

Gage - Is our little chuncker weighing in at 10 lbs! He is the vocal one and will let me know when he is not happy.......takes after his name sake (his middle name is Tyler!) j/k! He is a GREAT sleeper, loves the tummy time, and it looks like he might have blue eyes!

Me - Well - I'm hanging in there. This time off of work has been great - time has really flown by! At first days were lasting forever - now it's hard to think that these boys will be 7 weeks soon! We have had a great last part of the summer - and can't wait till next summer when we can get out of the house more and go camping etc. A big THANK YOU - to everyone for their words/thoughts of encouragement! I've had a lot of people approach me - and the ladies that have had twins - always say the right thing to keep me going! It's funny how prayers are answered sometimes! ANY WHO - I've also made a goal to post more - so keep watching the blog for more Thiel good fun!

The Reason!

3 little boys are a lot of work! I'll post more as soon as Ty gets home from work -or I can sneak down in the middle of the night ;) - we've been busy - pic's and news to come soon!

What We've Been Up To

So - this past week we were able to have ALL of Ty's family here! This is the first time that they have all been together in like 8 years! It was really fun to see everyone and to just hang out. It was a little crazy getting all the kids in the car and getting them from point A to point B BUT we did it....and had some fun in the process!

Last Sunday we also get to bless the twins! Ty did a great job and it was really nice to have all of his fam there and most of mine! It was a little hectic - but I'm thinking we are going to get use to the craziness!

Here is our first little family picture with the twins! It really is crazy to think I have 3 kids! Any who - other then that we have just been getting use to life. OH when I took the twins to their 2 week check up they both had gained a pound past their birth weight (yahoo!) ANY WHO - more to come soon! :)

The Details!

So we have been home for a week now..... WOW - I seriously was doubting the fact that I would make it this far! It's been a crazy adventure so far!!!



SO - for the details of the big day! I was suppose to go in at 10 am that day and at 945 they called and told me that they were over booked and that they needed me to wait 2 more hours. SO I waited 2 more hours.....and called.....and they told me to wait 2 more hours. OH I was so frustrated! I tried to stay calm but it was hard. SO 2 hours later we called and they told me to come down.



It seemed to go by really quick! And before I knew it I was up on the O.R. table getting my spinal. I ALMOST started crying but then one of the nurses said - "I can tell this girl is tough - she's going to have 3 boys - she's gotta be tough" AND with that I sucked back the tears and got tough. Within 5 min's we had our boys and I was so thankful to not be prego any more!



Gavin - on the way out decided that he wanted to take a big gulp of amniotic fulid so he was taken to the nursery and put on CPAP for a little. Then Gage - who had been head down - had to be born breach. Then while feeding Gage for the first time he stopped breathing on me - I seriously almost had a break down! They got him back up to par - only to find out a day later that he had a blood infection. They put him in the NICU and had him on antibiotics. It was the saddest thing ever to see him laying there. It took another couple days for them to find out that the blood sample had been contaminated - so instead of having to leave him at the hospital we could bring him home.



Now we are home and settling into a crazy life that is no where near routine. These little guys are small but growing! I'll post new pic's soon!

They're Here!!!

Sorry that this has taken so long - but my little guys are finally here.

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!
