What a difference 10 months make

Hunter, Kayden
Kayden, Hunter

Its hard to imagine that these two little guys were 9 weeks early and only each weighing almost 4 lbs. Its almost harder to imagine that this whole story ever took place. They are two of the happiest babies ever born. They are laid back content little fellors. Friends and family often wonder how I am doing and am I still okay after carrying Angies twins for her. I am happy to report that I am doing great! I love these two little boys a lot. I love to see them and holding them reminds of a miralce that I watched take place. Watching Angie with her boys and seeing the joy that they bring to her and everyone around makes me happy!

Faces of Boo

Only a Mother could love this very dirty face.

Please don't leave me. I really want to go. She can pucker that bottom lip out sooo far.



Thankfully Savanna is talking so much more and so much better but facial expressions and charades are still a huge part of our lives. A lot of her words are defiantly Boo language. For instance Lexi is Ah-Eee MaKaya is Maa Maa Adam is DuDum. Granny is MaMa Halle is LaLee. She is learning more words everyday. She has hit the why stage. MaKaya is still the best and figuring out what she wants. She brings a lot of laughter to our home

She still likes me

I am very aware that at some point your children stop liking you. It makes me sad to think that one day Lexi won't want me around. She had a late night with some friends and she asked me to play Uno with them. My heart swelled with joy to know that indeed Lexi still thinks I'm cool enough to play with her and her friends

10 Years!!!

We just had our 10 year Anniversary. Its hard to believe that 10 years has all ready gone by. We went to the Homestead for an over nighter. It was great to have some alone time. I love you Shaun!

Thank you Neighbors

Because of you I have got off my sorry butt and started exercising. I'm not enjoying being the fat one on the block. This is what keeps me motivated.

• Diana had a baby in Sept. and when I went to see her days after her baby was born she had a flat stomach. Maybe running marathons helps achieve this.
• Vanessa is the tiniest person I know. Soaking wet she maybe weighs 105 lbs. She has the most cut arms of any girl I know.
• Tina is HOT!!! We went shopping one day and happened to try on swimsuits. I came out of the dressing room to show her mine and sadly (for me) she was in the same one. She has a knock-out gorgeous body. I was green with jealousy!
• Destiny is pregnant and buys clothes the same size I wear now to fit her growing belly. I am certain that her size 2 will return shortly after the baby is born.
• Krista is tall slender, sexy, and sassy. She is also a runner!

Knowing that I will be swimming with them often this summer has helped me achieve something I've always wanted to do but never thought I could. I started running. This is the first time in my life that I have exercised on a regular basis. The surprising thing is I really enjoy it. There is some sort of satisfaction sweating my guts out every morning. So ladies thank you for motivating me without even trying. That's what I call a good neighbor!

St. George Fun

Just one of the times that she is mad.

MaKaya could float all day long

The kids had so much fun with Kenny

Adam didn't want to get sun glass marks so he got his tanning goggles. I let him know those should only be worn in the privacy of his own backyard
Cute Lexi emerging from the pool

Boo's turn to float
MaKaya still floating

This weekend we went to St. George for some good old sun. We played by the pool all day long. We have been craving the sunshine for so long that the high 70's felt like the 90's. Coming back home to snow was less than thrilling. Will spring ever be here.

I've Been Tagged

I have been tagged. This is the hardest tag that I have ever done. Coming up with 6 things about me that people don't know was very hard. I talk so much that everyone all ready knows everything about me. Hopefully I have been creative enough to enlighten you with something new about me.


1. I love pens. I have an obsession with pens. I love to buy them, love to collect them, love to write with them. If I am using someone elses pen and I like the way it writes I will write the info about the pen down so that I can go buy it. I could have 50 or more pens and still feel like I need more. I love it when a pen writes fat. I am not a fan of fine point pens. My favorite pen right now is a Papermate profile 1.4. It is a really great pen!!!

2. I love to be pregnant!!! Call me crazy but I really do. I remember when I was a tween I couldn't wait to be pregnant. I love the way my belly looks when it is all big and round. I love to shop for maternity clothes and swimsuits. I love to feel the baby move even in the middle of the night. I don't even mind throwing up everyday for all 9 months. Maybe the reason I love it so much is because at the end of it all I know that I get to have a newborn which is even better than being pregnant.

3. I really enjoy Teaching. I like to teach anything. At work I love to train new employees. I enjoy teaching my girls new concepts. I even like teaching groups of people. I finally got the calling I have always wanted and that is a R.S. teacher. Maybe the reason I like teaching so much is that I love to talk and when you are teaching that is what you get to do is talk.

4. I have been told that I have "sexy feet". He said that I should make a website of my feet doing all sorts of "sexy" things. Running water over them, digging in the sand, ect. The funny thing about this, is that I hate feet. When I was younger Adam would stick his smelly clammy feet on me and I have hated feet ever since.

5. I have always wanted twins. When I was 8 years old I got twin Cabbage Patch Dolls for Christmas. I wanted them then and I still want them now. One thing I don't want is to be pregnant with twins again. As much as I love to be pregnant carrying twins really kicked my butt! When loving one baby is so great I can't imagine having two. But just my luck I would have twin 2 year olds that are as hard as Boo and then I would curse myself over and over.

6. I'm picky when it comes to a lot of things. I will pick 6 things. When drinking soda from a can, I like it dumped into a plastic red cup with bagged ice from the store. I don't have to have it like this but that is my favorite. I don't like anyone to eat off my plate. It is my food leave it alone. I don't dry any clothing (except garms) all the way, it makes laundry a huge pain in the butt. My closet as well as my girls are color coordinated. It makes finding that one shirt much easier. I HATE buffets. If I am going out to eat I want my food cooked just for me and I don't want to have to wait in line behind Big Bertha to get it. I will not wear flat shoes. I feel much too fat and much too frumpy.

Now it is my turn, Good luck on finding 6 interesting things about you that we don't know. I am tagging Jaime J. Krista G. Melissa, Sydney, Shalise, and Candice

Did you know

that 3 minor driving violations could cost you a reckless driving ticket. As I was heading home from work at 1:30 in the morning I was driving around 70. A car from behind was approaching me so I sped up to my usual 80 and then the lights went on and I was getting pulled over. This angers me a lot because for one thing it scares me being pulled over so late when only myself and the officer are awake, and two I am driving a mini-van going 80 at 1:30 in the morning, I am causing no one any harm, I am just trying to get home before I fall asleep. As I roll down the window he asks me if I know why I am being pulled over. I tell him because I was speeding. He tells me that I also changed lanes without signaling. I wanted to say, "Who do I need to signal for everyone else in home in bed." He then told me that one more minor moving violation and I would be cited for reckless driving. Yep me and the mini-van reckless driving all over the freeway all by ourselves at 1:00 in the morning. I am trying very hard to be nice to this man because the last time I got pulled over it was on my way home from work at 1:00 in the morning. I was pregnant with Savanna and pissed off and was very nasty to the officer and landed myself a ticket. He took my driving info went to his car and by the grace of God he did not give me a ticket. I don't get lucky very often but that night I did and I was happy.
