A trip to Arizona!!!

Me and the Twinners headed out to see my parents last week in Arizona and to get the heck out of this COLD weather!!! I was SO nervous about flying alone w the twins but figured some good sun was worth it!;) The twins did SO well,they LOVED the airports and LOVED the plane! They watched movies and just loved lookin out the window on the flight! We landed in Mesa to wonderful 80 degree weather!My parents are farther south towards Yuma right by Mexico,so the weather is always nice!Spent the week w them swimming,shopping,going to the new Chuck E Cheese they put in down there(the twins LOVED it),and of course eating some good food! It was so nice to see them we miss them and cant wait till they come back in a few weeks! IF they were staying longer we be tempted to go back again,ha! Trav and Macy got to enjoy a week of quiet here at home!;) They were so excited to see Trav waiting in the airport when we got back in to Idaho Falls:)))It was such a good trip,and was so good to see my mom and dad!!!We love you guys! :))))

Happy 4th B-day Atlee!!!

We went up and spent the day in Montana to celebrate Atlee's 4th B-day! The cousins always have SO much fun together! Atlee had a princess party and got lots of good stuff!:)))Thanks for havin us!!!:))))

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!!:)))
