Merry Christmas!! (well our's wasn't a great one!) :(

Well it really felt like this was the twins first Christmas, because last Christmas, they were in the hospital still, I came home on x-mas eve and they stayed another week or so. So we were gonna do up Chrismtas right! We were headed to my mom and dad's in Island Park, to see them and for the first time in a long time, spend sometime w/ my brother Kevin, his wife Ashley and their two kids Atlee and Dax. Anyone that knows my mom knows she was going all out, so excited to have all her grandkids together for the first time! Well x-mas eve morning I woke up to another nosebleed, (most of you know I had sinus surgery in Nov. and it has been an ongoing problem) so far I wished I had never done it! :( I was in the hospital the weekend before the twins party and thought when I got out I was in the clear, but I wasn't. So Trav woke up to find me in the sink w/ buckets, he called the neighbors to watch the twins and we headed to Mt. View again, but this time for more surgery! So needless to say my mom came down to watch the twins, and I got to go home late in the afternoon. So we had a little Chritmas morning at our house w/ my mom, before she headed back up to IP. Thanks so much AGAIN mom for making the drive to help us! We really couldn't do anything w/ out you! :) So we managed to take a few pics and presents, the rest is still waiting for us at my mom and dad's. I'm still not feeling well, so Trav's had to pretty much watch the twinners, I'm just glad they really are to little to know what was going on! :) And I'm really gonna have to make it up to them next year!!

Also last Mon. they had their 1 yr. Dr. appt., I can't believe it! Just a little update, little Mia weighed in at 17lbs. (she's so tiny) and 28 in. tall and Luke was 20 1/2 lbs. and 29 in. tall. Luke took a couple steps on his birthday! They are both walking from furniture to furniture and babbling words that I think are "mama" and "dada" and they kinda wave bye-bye! And they are on milk, so no more formula! (oh it's the little things these days that make us moms happy right)! :) I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and we wish all of you a Happy New Year! :)

Happy 1st Birthday Mia & Luke!!

Well Mia and Luke had a big 1st B-day Bash at Leo's PLace! They've actually had a weekend long B-day, I guess they are like little Rockstars! :) I can't believe they are 1! I looked back at pics this weekend of them this time last year and they were so tiny, they both fit in a Christmas stocking in the NICU. They have sure come along way! They say "mama" and "dada" and Luke waves "bye bye"! They are both standing and thinkin of takin those first steps! They love to wrestle w/ each other and are starting to really enjoy playing w/ each other. Me and Trav are sure lookin forward to no more "formula bottles", and lovin making just "milk bottles"...oh the little things that make us happy these days! :) Thanks to everyone who helped celebrate Mia and Luke's B-day, they had a blast.....well Mia more than Luke, he's not as social in crowds! ;) But it was so nice to see so many friends and family, thanks again! Happy Birthday Mia & Luke, here's to many, many more!!!!

Happy Anniversary Trav! And the twins are 11 months!

Well first off I can't believe we've survived almost 1 year w/ twins! At times it's gone by fast and other times it has seemed like forever,and I'd have to remind myself that "this to shall pass",which for some reason seems to always help! :) The twins are getting so big,with personalities to match! They have filled our lives and we are so thankful for them! Sometimes I really need to remind myself of how lucky we have been!

On another note, it's me and Travis's 2nd Anniversary, Wow, we have sure accomplished alot together in 2 years, namely the Twinners! ;) We were supposed to be at the wonderful Four Seasons Resort in Jackson Hole for the weekend, relaxing and snowboarding, (which there's not much snow, so that's one good thing about not being there) but as some may know I had to have sinus surgery, (yeah nice I know) but I was having so much trouble breathing, so I had to finally have it done. Needless to say my Dr. did not like the idea of snowboarding, I'm supposed to not do anything much for a month, and on top of that I've felt horrible! So we've postponed the trip for a few weeks. Sorry Trav! :) So Happy Anniversary Trav! Thanks for always putting up w/ me, (I'm sure that's difficult at times!) :) And for being such a great husband and dad! You're the best and we appreciate everything you do for us, everyday! Here's to many,many more years! (but no more kids! Ha!) ;) Love you!

The Twins 1st Halloween! Boo at the Zoo!

The twins had their 1st Halloween this year! Luke was a bumblebee (which he hated), and Mia was a ladybug (which she loved!) Go figure! :) We went w/ some neighbor friends of ours, the Andrus's and the Infanger's to the Boo at the Zoo! We weren't sure what we were in for,but we had a great time, except for Luke who was way to tired by the time we got there! But they did seem to enjoy all the lights and watching all the kids run around! All in all it was a great 1st Halloween, we can't wait for next year when they'll actually be able to run around and understand a bit more! :)

A visit from Kevin, Ashley and Atlee!!

My little brother Kevin and his wife Ash and my little niece Atlee came for a visit on Fri. night! Little Dax whose 2 months old was with Ashley's mom in Blackfoot. It's always so nice to get a chance to see them and Atlee she's getting so big and to see her w/ the twins is getting pretty funny! They live in Montana and we don't see them to often, so it was a nice little visit! Atlee loves to give the twins kisses and she says "I Love you" to them! And finally the twins can fight back a bit! :) They are learning to hold their own! 2 years ago my parents had no grandchildren and now they have 4! We love that they are all so close together! Thanks guys for the visit!

Our Maui Trip!!

So me and Trav just returned from 8 days in Maui!! We had a great time doing NOTHING!! We rented a condo w/ an ocean view and just sunbathed, snorkeled and ATE!! ALot! Not good, but oh well! ;) We missed the twins soooo much, it seems like they grew a ton while we were gone! When we walked through the door, it was like they didn't know who we were...sad! :( I also wanted to thank my mom! She's the best mom and grandma ever, we wouldn't have felt comfortable enough to leave them w/ anyone else yet! So we were able to go and know they were in great hands!! :) And she had a blast w/ them! So now we're back in cold Idaho,already looking forward to going back again next year. My Aunt and Uncle also live there, so we were able to see them and have some of my Uncle Pat's GREAT cooking! So thanks guys to you both!

The Twins pics

Well the twins are 9 1/2 months now and I thought I'd do an update! We had family pics done a couple months ago so I thought I'd put some up to! The twins are crawling and into everything lately,Luke has started to pull himself up and stand...so cute! But I think that everything they do is cute! ;) They are eating everything and love to feed themselves, which I'm kind of a neat freak so the mess drives me a bit crazy! Oh well, I'm sure it's gonna get even messier!! :) Me and Trav were in Hawaii for 8 days and they seem to have grown sooo much while we were gone!! They also each have their 2 bottom teeth! They are becoming such funny little people, and I love to watch them play together,it's the sweetest thing!!

The Twins 9 month appt.!!

Today was the twinners big 9 month appt.! Me and Trav can't believe we've survived 9 months! It was so wierd to make their 1 year appt.! They are doing great, they are pretty much doing what all other 9 month olds are doing, (I always get worried cause they were preemies)! Mia is just VERY tiny! But I'm glad she's the tiny one and not the other way around! :) Luke was 18lbs. 11 oz. and 28 1/2 in. long, which is the 25th and 50th percentile, and Mia weighed in at a small 15lbs. 1 oz. and was 27 in. long which is the 5th for weight and the 30th for height! All things considered they are doing great having been only born at 4lbs.!! We want to thank Grammy for coming w/ us to! (It's just getting harder and harder to carry 2 at a time)! :) And after every appt. she always takes us to Babe's!! Yum! :)

Happy Grandparent's Day!! (A day late!)

We just wanted to wish the 2 best Grandparents in the world, a Happy Grandparent's Day! My parent's LIVE to be Grandparents and we're so grateful for all you do!! The twins are so lucky to have them! We had a rough week last week and my mom helped save me yesterday!! On Thurs. Mia was diagnosed w/ another set of ear infections so needless to say she's been pretty cranky lately! Then on Fri. I noticed Luke getting upset to!! (Anybody at the Blackfoot Fair would agree to this!! :) By Sat. he had a temp. but we chalked it up to teething! Sat. night at about 2 a.m. he was crying and I went to check on him, he was on fire! I took his temp. and it was 103 degrees and he was throwing up on me, (maybe a little to graphic, sorry!) So we went to the ER, where we stayed for the night! He has an ear infection and a viral infection, he had to get a shot and other things! He was such a little trooper! When I called my mom on Sun. at about 7 a.m. she headed straight down in her pj's to hold Luke ALL day for me! That's the wonderful thing about twins, there's 2 babies!! So when they are both sick, it's SO hard! So thanks mom! I don't know what we'd do w/ out you!! Happy Grandparent's Day to all the Grandparent's!

Still trying to get the hang of it!

Thanks Jess for helping with my blog! I'm using another picture of the twins for practice! Bear with me everyone!

We have joined the blogging world!

Here is a picture of Luke and Mia at 8 months old! More to come...
