All my kids birthday's!!! As most of you know all my kids were born February 1st!!! Mitchell turned 4 and the twins turned 2!!! We opted out of a huge get together this year and did an intimate dessert with just grandparents. This is the one day out of the year I know I will cry. I have said it before and will say it again, that when you come so close to losing your children it makes you realize how much you truely have. That feeling of almost losing them will always be branded with me. I am amazed at how much they make me whole and who I am.

The twins got new bunk beds. They are separated and not bunked for obvious reasons.

Christmas!!! Mitchell learned how to ride with no training wheels and got a new bike! Andrew actually let go for the first time and he just went...the rest is history.

One of many of our snow trips with the kids...we also took snow back home!!!

Let's Rewind Shall We?

Picture of the kids at Aunt Diane's cabin in their snow gear. Wyatt is wearing Emily's sleeper because he had too many pooping accidents.




I need to take some time to rewind back to Christmas and up to the kid's birthdays...so here we go...

Ringing in the New Year...well almost

These photos are taken with love by my good friend Stephanie. Thanks for putting up wtih the fam for a photo op!














I thought it fitting to start out before the New Year making my blogging resolution. That is, to try and blog at least once a month. We will see....You may wonder why I chose to use a Happy Birthday background. Well , that is due to the fact that all my kids birthdays are coming up in just 33 days! Quickly approaching, and Mitchell is very excited to be 4! The twins are already fitting into their 2 year old personality, as everything comes with a tantrum and a flinging onto the ground. Mitchell got a new bike for Christmas which he can ride with no training wheels. He is very proud of himself and tells strangers in the store of his amazing bike riding skills. Emily and Wyatt have been moved to big beds! We bought bunk beds for them but have them separated until they get bigger. We had to take all furniture out of the room as they were crawling out of their cribs, scaling the drawers of the dresser and climbing on top of the dresser. We also took the door handle off the door so they can not escape naps and bedtime. Andrew and I are both on semester break. Andrew will be finishing off his degree this next Spring semester at Fresno State. He will graduate in May with a degree in Entrepreneurship. I already applied for the nursing program for COS and will find out May 2010. I'll just be taking two night classes this next semester and am still working 2 and half days at the bank. With the twins turning two right around the corner, we have reflected on how far we have come. I can't believe my babies are almost TWO! We hope you all had a great Christmas!

Another Poopie moment of stress!

I thought that I would blog about this poopie moment with the twins. I have had many of these but thought if I actually write it down this time then I'm sure I will remember to write it in their baby book when they are about to get married and I'm furiously trying to throw pictures together. (Run on sentence). The other day Emily "helped" Wyatt strategically take off his diaper while I was on the phone in my room. After she pealed off his pants, they both got his diaper undone and it happened to be poopie. I turned around and they were smearing poop all over the carpet. If you know me, you know how much I freak out about the pathogens and bacteria in poop. I SCREAMED. I'm sure there will be many other moments of poopie distress but the stains on my carpet will always remind me of the day I thought I could complete a phone call successfully. I love my kids:) Never short of laughter and anxiety.
