Merry Christmas!!!!

Christmas was SO fun this year, the twinners finally were old enough to really get into it! They were completely obsessed w Santa,and driving around at night to see all the lights and decorations on all the houses! It was so fun so see it all through their eyes! We bought a little elf that came w a book this year,Called Christopher the Elf,he comes after Thanksgiving and pops up in different places all over the house every morning until Christmas Eve. Luke and Mia were so excited to see where Santa had decided to put him every morning to keep an eye on them to make sure they were being good:) It really worked for us most of the time,ha!Their missin him now though cause Santa had to take him back to the North Pole w him;) We had Christmas Eve here at home and Christmas morning here at our house to,then we packed up and headed to my mom and Dad's in Island Park for the weekend. My brother and his wife and kids came up from Montana to. Santa didn't miss Grandma's house,the twins were SO excited to see he had made it there to:) We had a great time,we snowmobiled quite a bit,and the twins LOVED it so much, they never wanted to get off of them! I told my dad they all need little snowmachines next year of their own!:) It was a blast! Things took a turn for the worse when Trav seperated his shoulder on Sun. and is now in a sling for 6 weeks,and may eventually need surgery but for now we're hopin it heals on it's own. Other than that a fabulous Christmas w family!!! Hope everyone else had a Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year!!!! We're looking forward to a fabulous 2011!!!!!:)))

Happy 3rd Birthday Mia and Luke!!!!

Wow! Cannot believe my little Twinners have turned 3!!! I guess the days of bottles,diapers and all things baby are gone,which I got to thinkin today makes me a LITTLE bit sad,(I said little),so not sad enough to have any more babies,ha! I'm lovin that they are getting older,they are getting so fun,and I LOVE to hear the little things they say and love to hear them laughing w each other when they play together,they are such best friends to each other,and I love it! They've changed SO much from the little 4lb. babies that spent their first 2 weeks of life in the NICU. They've had quite the 3rd B-day! Last Sat. they had a big birthday bash at Leo's,(they LOVE that place),we had a blast!One side was Toy Story themed the other Disney Princess themed,w seperate cakes of course:)I SO wish I could have made their fabulous cakes,but this amazing girl made them,they turned out SO perfect,I almost hated to cut into them! Of course the twinners were spoiled rotten! I looked around at the party and thought how truly blessed we are to have such fabulous friends and family!Today is there real B-day and all their friends sang Happy Birthday to them at gymnastics class,which they thought was pretty cool,then we had Birthday lunch at Pizza Hut,(that's what they picked)ha!:) Tomorrow we're headed to SLC to meet up w some friends and do the Discovery kids place at Gateway,(hopefully I can sneek in some shopping to);) and to think Christmas is in a couple days....WOW,they are really gonna think their B-day lasts a long time!;) Thanks to all who helped make their B-day so special,they are such happy,fun loving,sweet little kiddos that I love SOOO much!! they make me laugh everyday....(and somedays cry)ha!Happy Birthday Mia and Luke,we love you so much!!!!

Trick or Treat!!!!:))))

We had a great Halloween this year,FINALLY the twins are really getting into the holidays,I love it, it makes things so much fun to see the holidays through your kid's eyes! It felt like a week a halloween festivities! And for me alot of work to dress them up every couple of days,and then to try and explain to Luke that he can't wear his Capt. Feathersword costume EVERY day now!;)ha! they had a Halloween party at Gymnastics one morning,I wouldnt let Mia wear her WHITE angel costume to gym,so we went and got her a Barbie dress,(yes I'm a crazy OCD mom who doesn't want their kids to get dirty or their costumes,I know I SO need to get over it);)maybe one day! Then we did our neighborhood/church trunk or treat one night and it was SO cold,the twins barely got out of the back of our SUV,we left it on w the heater running,I thought poor little Mia was gonna shake and shiver to death! But they loved seein the costumes,and every Woody Luke saw he wanted to have the costume,especially our neighbor Jace's!:) Thanks for loaning us a blanket Debi!!!:) Sat. we spent the day w some good friends and decided to do the Halloween Farmer's market,it was fun they had pumpkin bowling for the kids and a parade,and little Mia won the costume contest and LOVED her little trophy!(See my hard work of keepin her angel costume super clean paid off);) Then we had pizza,and then we decided to come back to trick or treat our neighborhood,it's the first year the twins actually got to go door to door,I thought they'd freak but they did pretty good,and we only did a few houses of people we knew so they weren't as nervous!:)My kids don't love candy which I guess they get from Travis,so we had a ton of candy leftover,they kind of like to unwrap it and that's about it:)Oh well,I guess it's a good thing. We also had a trick or treat visit from their cousins,they loved people comin to our door and knocking to. Also the weekend before me and Trav had a chance to get away to Jackson for the weekend for an early anniversary,my parents will be in Italy and all of Europe the whole month of Nov. so we went while we could:) It was a nice relaxing weekend and was much needed!:) Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween!!:)))

Fall Happenings!!:)

I realized it's been over a month since I blogged and that's been my goal this year to keep up on it,so here we go:) The twinners are 2 yrs. and 10months old today,wow! I just realized that as I sat down to write the post. We've almost made it to 3,ha! We're ALMOST potty trained,we still haven't mastered nighttimes,but oh well it'll happen when it happens,I'm not to worried that there gonna need pull ups when their 10,so I'm ok,ha!;) The twins started gymnastics class a couple weeks ago, it's been getting better,Mia loves it,and of course anyone who knows Luke knows he's SUPER shy,so for the first 15 min, he usually cries like he's being tortured and tells me he wants to go home,and then he chills out. I keep telling myself it's good for them and it'll get better,the other moms and the teachers tell me it'll get better to,ha! I don't know how he ended up so shy...hello,I know he doesn't get it from me,ha!ha!:) We also went to the pumpkin patch w some friends the other weekend,and had some fun picking pumpkins and riding the mini tractors,Luke also cried when we got there to,and then relaxed!;) Ahh,gotta love him!We also did the sand dunes one night,and the twins had a BLAST! It's great exercise there to! :) We're excited for the holidays comin up and the twinners turnin 3!!!:) And of course Halloween!:)Oh,the one pic is just us at Target and I think it's hilarious because Luke these days always wears hats,either a cowboy hat,pretending to be Woody from Toy Story,or his Capt. Feathersword pirate hat,cause of his love of The Wiggles,well he saw the hat that he's wearing in the picture there and had to have it,it's hilarious! Lots of pics,enjoy!
