Too Cute

Yesterday me and the girls went to go visit my sister. Katy watched them for me while I went grocery shopping and when I got back this is what I found...

Layla had fallen asleep on Mallory's shoulder in the swing lol. Some of the things those girls do just slay me. Lately when I'm holding them both on my chest they'll even hold hands. It's adorable. Anyway, things are going really great. Right now everyone but Chad is sick with a yucky cold in this house, but it seems to be going away as of today. Layla and Mallory are growing right before my eyes, I swear they go to sleep and wake up a different kid every day. Their looks are changing constantly! I'm completely convinced that they are identicle, but will have to do a blood test to find out for sure.

Avery is the best big sister anyone could ask for, well, except for my big sister of coure :). She loves her little sissy's and gives them plenty of hugs and kisses. She makes sure that when they are crying she finds a binky to put in their mouths and/or a blanky to cover them with. The only problem I have had with her is that she wants to play with them too much!! lol, but out of everything I could have delt with I'll take that "problem" in a heartbeat. I'm loving being a momma of twins, there's nothing like it. But ask me how I feel about being a momma of twins when they are like 2 years old, and I might have a different response LOL!

Short trip to Olympia

My cousins Mia and Ashley. Mia has Mallory, Ashly has Layla
Nana and Muriel. I think Muriel has Layla

Here's Katy, Mia and I with our youngest.

This last weekend Katy and I took the babies and went to Olympia for Toni's funeral. Avery got to stay home with Daddy. We had a nice time. The funeral was really nice. We got to see a lot of people that we hadn't seen in a long time! Toni was my Nana's niece. We loved her so much! She was such a great lady. I wish I had a picture of her to put up on here. She was just one of those people who never gave in to her illnesses. She just kept pushing on. I'm so glad I got to have her in my life for the period of time I did. Although we only got over to see her a few times, she definitely made an impact on my life. I'd love to believe that when life throws obstacles in my way that I would be able to handle them the way she did :). Love you Toni! And can't wait to see ya again.

New Car!

Chad and I went down to Hall's on Friday and finally decided to buy a new car. Well, new to us anyway. We bought a 2005 Chevy Tahoe Z71 LT. We LOVE LOVE LOVE it. It's so nice to have a car we can comfortably fit all three kids into and have a little extra space!! Oh, and the built in DVD player is nice too. I think that's Avery's favorite feature lol. I thought I'd put a couple pictures on here. I will put up more pictures of the girls soon. It's tough to get a great picture right now because they are sleeping a lot! Things are going really great though. They are growing and growing and growing!! Almost a month already, crazy!

Our new family members!!

Avery getting into the baby powder... I wasn't very happy about this one! I swear she waits until I'm feeding the twins and then she knows I won't be able to stop her for a while. What a stinker.

Happy Big Sister!

Mallory is on the left, Layla on the right



Big Cousin Eli! Layla on the left, Mal on the right.


Your guess is as good as mine...? I think Layla is on the right lol.

Their first pictures outside the operating room.


Hi everybody!! I know I haven't been on here, but, AGAIN, I have no computer, so I'm putting up these pictures at my sister's house.

Things have been going really well!! The girls are growing like weeds. Avery didn't take any time to adjust. She doesn't have a jealous bone in her body, although she has been finding lots of time to get into trouble. I've been getting a little sleep here and there, but for the most part I feel great!! Let me tell you what, giving birth to two babies instead of one is a piece of cake. I could have done without the pregnancy, but the labor and delivery was really easy!

Chad is doing great too. He's pretty smitten with his three baby girls, and is ready to start teaching them how to hunt and fish at a moment's notice. I still can't believe there were two girls in there!!

thanks to everyone for all your prayers!! It's been two weeks, can't believe that either, and things are going as smoothly as they could possibly go. Hope to see you all sooner or later!

sleeping at the table

Yesterday my mom and dad watched Avery for me while I went to the Dr.. We came home to pick her up and this is what we found. She had been eating pizza and fell asleep at the table. I guess she had tried to put her face right in her plate first, but then my dad went back and got a pillow for her to sleep on. She was completely out of it. I laughed so hard. Thanks for watching her for me mom and dad!!

No new news really on the baby front. We're still just waiting for them to arrive, which could be any day. The non stress test I took yesterday went really well, they were moving like crazy. Baby A, the lowest baby, is head down and staying there, so no C-section will be planned, YAY!! I will let you all know when they arrive. Hope you all have a Merry Christmas! I'll be putting up some Christmas pictures after Christmas day. We've already had a few Christmases, and have a couple left to go, so I don't want to have to do 10 different blogs lol.

Finally a Christmas tree!

On Monday when I was in Yakima, I finally picked up a Christmas tree. I wanted to get a small one to put on the table because I didn't want to have to deal with a lot of decorations, putting up and taking down a Christmas tree while I'm so hugely pregnant lol. We found a cute little tree, of course when we got it home and put it in the stand it wouldn't stand straight at all, but oh well. I'm just glad we finally have a little more Christmas cheer in our house!! Avery is very happy. Ever since people started putting up Christmas lights on houses she yells every time we pass one and says "Pretty lights!!". So now she has her own pretty lights in her house. We also got a chance to go outside and play in the snow a bit. It was cold, but not quite as cold as it has been here. She loved it. It's snowing now, we'll see how much we have to play in tomorrow! And yes, I can't believe I got two blogs up in one day too... it's amazing.

New Snow Jacket

We got this coat for Avery a while back figuring we'd need a warm jacket for winter. She's been wearing it a lot more lately, obviously, but what's funny is that she wants to wear it in the house all the time, that and her new snow boots. That coat is really warm, you'd think she would fry in it, but she doesn't care.

She's actually wearing her rain boots in this picture, but whatever works. She just likes boots in general lol. I don't think we'd bought the new snow boots yet when I took these pictures.
