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!

Another summer almost over......

I can't believe it's mid September and summer is already over,it feels like we never really had one!:( We managed to make it up to Montana the end of August to celebrate my little nephew Dax's 2nd birthday, the twins were so good on the drive up and slept ALL the way home, they have a blast playin w their cousins,and I always wish we lived closer! Little Dax is SUCH a good,easy little boy and we had a great time at the party:) We also headed up to my mom and dad's for Labor Day weekend, my brother and his family came to,so the twins got to play w their cousins quite a bit during those couple of weeks, we also took Trav's younger brother Josh w us,who was visiting us from California that same weekend...the twins LOVE Uncle Josh,he's SO good w them,so it was nice to have an extra helper w us:) We rode bikes,rode 4wheelers,went swimming,fed the fish,the boys golfed,and a million other things we could pack into the weekend!But like always we had a great time at Grammie and Grandpa's:) (the best thing is they have 2 houses,so the babies sleep in their room in the new house,and me and Trav get to sleep in the other house,like a mini vacation,ha!)Other than that we've had a great summer and the twinners are gettin SO big, I can't believe they'll be 3 in December!Our little Mia had a rough last week,when she fell backwards off her chair at dinner,and her bottom teeth went right through her chin, me and Travis were a crazy mess,Josh stayed home w Luke and we took Mia to the ER, she was SO good,and never even really cried, the Dr. gave her 3 teddy bears and a balloon and she was happy as could be:) Luckily they were able to glue it and she didn't need stitches, AND she was more than happy to get to pick out princess and Dora band-aids daily!ha!She's a trooper!And of course we managed to make it to the Fair in Blackfoot one afternoon w some friends, the twins had a blast at the petting zoo,and loved eatin some fair treats!(Of course while we were at the Fair Mia picked out a stroller and doll she just could not live w out,and of course Luke found the ONLY Wiggle item at the whole Fair,he managed to find a "Sam" Wiggle doll,that he has yet to let go of!)ha!ha!(he had it in the pic but it's positioned perfectly behind his little buddy Ethan!) Enjoy the pics!:)

A Wiggly Party!!!!;)

How could I ALMOST forget to blog our trip to SLC to see The Wiggles!!! If anyone knows the Twinners they know they LOVE the Wiggles, Luke is SOOO obsessed it's probably not normal! I used to try and get him to like something else but then I just gave up,I figure at least it's good TV,they've learned songs,colors,counting etc. So I guess it could be worse!;) So when we heard they were coming to SLC and they hadn't been here in 4 years, I KNEW we were gonna be there front and center! (well by the time we got tickets we were like 6th row,but the seats were GREAT! Trav gracefully bowed out and let my mom come w us,ha!(thanks Trav);) We had a nice day in SLC although it was about 105 degrees I think they said, we played in the fountains at Gateway,I didn't bring suits for the twins cause I kind of forgot you could swim in the fountains, so they were just there in clothes and pullups,(cause that's all that I had on me at the time)Oh well they loved it! I thought Luke was literally gonna have a heart attack when the Wiggles came on stage,he just couldn't believe it was them in real life,ha! Mia loved it to,it was such a fun time, they still talk about it, so after spending about $500 on Wiggle memorabilia we came home and the Twinners slept the WHOLE way home, (in there Capt. Feathersword hats and swords!ha! It was such a fun day for them,thanks Grammie for the Wiggle treats and for comin on the Wiggle journey w us!!!:)P.S. the next day Luke woke up w his costume on watchin his new DVD,and doin all the dance moves,ha!Love it!
