Valentines Day

So, we had fun for V-Day. We had a pinata on Saturday and a great dinner on Sunday. Here are a few of our pictures and videos of that oh so special day! We do tend to make this a family holiday as there is no way we will ever get to go out and celebrate it together anytime soon. . . not to mention I find that kinda silly. I love my husband every day, why just celebrate it once a year? I enjoy making it more of a family holiday. Anyway, enough about that, here are the pictures and video.



We made this cute pinata. It was fun.
We had some friends over to help us break it open.


These are our heart pancakes we had for breakfast.


These are our valentines cookies we decorated.

This is the video of the final pinata moments. Go Josh!! :)

Catch up on baby pictures to share

Ok, so month three of the twins was full of a lot of pictures. Can you blame me? The twins are so cute and are growing so fast I was taking pictures nearly every day. Here are a few of the cuter ones!! Also, we went to the doctor on the 15th of Feb. Addison is now 10 lbs 8 oz 22.5 inches long, and Andrew is 11 lbs 2 oz 23.5 inches long. I can't believe they are getting so big so fast!! They are really great babies too. Andrew sleeps about 6-7 hours with his first 9 hours last night, and Addison does about 8-9 hours with a few 7 once in a great while!! We love them so much!!



Evan and Brayden love being apart of their playtime.



so cute.

Andrew is becoming such a great smiley boy!!


Here is a great video of Andrew.





Here is a great video of Addison and Andrew.



And of course Brayden with his sister. He is so cute with them both and has such a great amount of love for them.

Addison's movie debut

Such a cute picture!!!



This, however, is the star of the blog. I think she is a natural!


I have been enjoying smiles and caws from my sweet girl all week. They get better every day!

beautiful babies!

I can't help but take pictures of my kids. They are so much fun and so cute!! I never thought I would have four red heads, but now that I do I feel bad for everyone else who isn't so lucky!! :)



Evan and Brayden are so cute. These are their Christmas sweaters.


Funny kids.


Couldn't get this picture to turn sideways. Even Josh tried. But it was too cute to not put on. Evan loves the babies.


Addison got to wear this cute dress on Sunday. I got it for $2.50 on clearance. I had seen it earlier, but wasn't going to pay full price for it! She looked darling in it. Oh, and she is wearing her first ever Karo syrup hair bow. Her Dad teased her all day, but he couldn't deny how cute she was with it in!


Evan wanted to take pictures when I was done, so these are what he ended up taking. He does a good job and I even get some REALLY good pictures from him.


Another Evan shot.

This is one of my more favorite ones that Evan took. I actually have a picture that's kinda cute with these two very cute babies! I think they know they are cute. . . they have to, it's way to obvious!

The twins are now 7 weeks old. No idea on how big they have grown, but they have definitely grown!

Twins blessing

We enjoyed a wonderful weekend last week. My parents were able to come out and we were able to bless the babies. Josh did a wonderful job, and the pass off was smooth and the talk of the ward. Both babies were calm and quiet and awake. Here are some pictures before we left for church.



Our Family.



Evan and Brayden are proud brothers!

Grandma and Grandpa Dance with the four kids. We were so glad to have them out here. We miss them and hope they make it back again sometime.


This is our beautiful princess in her beautiful dress. She sure is pretty. We love her so very much.

Couldn't help but get a few different shots of Addison in her dress.



Andrew was handsome. He is such a cutie and so precious! We truly have been so blessed ourselves!!

Christmas 2009

So, it took awhile, but I finally got some quick pictures on here. Enjoy!

Baby, Baby, and more Baby!

So, we begin the journey with one last look at me. This is a picture of me at 37 weeks. Really, I was HUGE!! Why didn't anyone tell me?? Don't try to tell me it wasn't so, I'm not dumb. For reminders of what I looked like at 15, 25, and 30 weeks see this post.


Here I am getting settled into my hospital bed. It wasn't really that comfortable at this time, nor after the surgery.


This is my cute husband in his "gear". We were waiting for everyone else to be ready, mostly the guy with the drugs, but he showed up eventually.


This is less than five minutes after the babies came out. The nurses were really excited to get a family picture taken of us. I was just wondering why I was even in this picture. Come on, I was still cut open and not really in the mood for a picture, but ok. The babies were really cute, and I even got to see them right after they were born because the cribs were in my view. It was pretty cool.
Addison was born at 9:55 am, and weighed 6 lbs 15 oz - 18.5 inches long. Andrew was born at 9:56 am and weighed 6 lbs 3 oz - 19 inches long. I really couldn't figure out where all that fit inside of me, then I looked at that first picture and I figured it out.



Here are the babies in their shared crib.


Evan and Brayden got to come to the hospital once to visit. They were really cute with the babies and were really excited to see them and hold them. Evan was really worried about my cut, and wanted to make sure it was ok, so I had to show it to him so he would worry about me. He also told me that he missed me more than I missed him. He is such a wonderful boy.


For the kids to come into the room, they had to wash up and wear masks. They took them off once they were inside, but Brayden thought they were pretty cool, and so we had him put it back on for some pictures. He's funny. He too really enjoyed the babies.


Cute kids. Addison is on the left in the pink cap, and Andrew is on the right in the yellow. They are so very precious!


This is Andrew ans Addison getting ready for the trip home. Of course I had to have "matching" outfits. They were so cute in them.


The proud Daddy with his two newborns. All are so excited to go home.

We wrapped them like hot dogs before we went out. Our babies really like to be swaddled tightly. I thought these to were so cute just lying there.



Well, that is all I have for now. There will be many more blogs to follow with our new additions as the main theme. It should be a fun year of many firsts and many lasts. We are so thankful to have Addison and Andrew as part of our family. Welcome home cute ones.
