Happy now :)

So...Yes I needed glasses! And the headaches are gone! yay!


So I didn't take a single picture on Thanksgiving. I know I stink huh? Anyway here are a few so Debbie and some others aren't mad at me anymore! haha Sorry I haven't posted in so long!
My sweet Evelyn. She gets her feelings hurt easily, and tends to be a little shy around new people, bashful is a better word. It is really cute. She also throws the biggest fits ever! I don't know what to do! She is just passionate right?
My sweet Emery, She is my little thinker. And she gets really mad when sister crowds her space! She loves to feel things, like her mommy.


Evelyn gets jealous when I hold Emery and tries to climb all over me... She also gives loves now and rocks her baby to sleep.
Emery is a crawling machine! She just zooms! It is so cute to watch. She is still a little night owl too, and doesn't want to sleep! For instance right now, she is awake.

I love these pics with Auntie Tay, She is so good with them and they love her lots! And so do I, Just in case she doesn't hear it enough, I am so proud of you Tay in everything you do...I always think of you as a better version of me. Love you.

And I just have to say how thankful I am for my family, they are all so supportive and are always there to help when they can. And my friends. I don't think any one lone person in this world is as lucky as I am to have the friends that I do. And if you know them, you know what I mean. And if you haven't you will wish you did. Meg, Bake, Ty, Charles, Dev, Geo, Brandon...and some others unmentioned, Thank you for knowing my insides and loving them the way you do. True friends are not only difficult to come by, but to keep. I work hard at my relationships and it pays off.

And Derek, I've said this before but, Love is not perfect and neither are we, but I love you no matter how imperfect are we. Thank you for all you do for our family.

glasses. ufo. and twilight.

So I have been having horrible vision problems! Blurry and I can't focus, reading street signs is getting more difficult. I have had bad night vision for a while but I just decreased rapidly in the past few days. all this is causing problems in my everyday life. I have been having horrible migranes, and driving is becoming more and more difficult, I never know what I am going to get when I get in the car. I have an appointment Tuesday. wish me luck, someone told me it sounds like cataract when i explained in detail what was going on. I really hope not! But I wouldn't mind some glasses!
This UFO dust made me want to die. We didn't notice the label that said 100% habenero. It was so painful. It is a long boring story but I had to share. I put it on my tongue and was expecting salt like flavor. oh no, my tongue still hurts.
Waiting in line for 6 hours in the cold for twilight was worth it! :)
So I went there in a dress. I locked myself out of my car with no jacket. When i went to Titanic in 97 I got to wait inside, so I thought we would be able to. I was sooooo cold. Luckily Trish and Derek came to the rescue! Blankets and pants and jackets and a spare key!!! I'm not giving away any spoilers. But the movie was cheesy. and the part in the meadow made me laugh out loud, you know when he goes into the sun! hahaha but that part is cheesy in the book. Other than that I loved it and I wanna see it again. It was surprisingly funny! Dry humor that I dig. :) Besisdes the screaming girls and the guy behind me announcing his every opinion it went well!

Evelyn has bee throwing tantrums that are quite entertaining. And Emery hasn't been feeling well I think she is cutting teeth. More pictures soon!

I can hardly stand it!

I really should go to bed...I have problems...haha

Go to sleep! and...Mom.

So the girls tonight decided that they would rather not go to bed...
So we got them out of bed and they were being so funny with eachother until i got the camera out. They have been playing and laughing together so well. I was almost in tears from them laughing so hard!
I like this picture because of how old it looks...and 70's like. I have this weird obsession with 70's lighting. seriously.

Anyway happy Birthday to Grandma Li! And Happy Veterans Day Uncle Cody and Grandpas... We love you!


I just wanted to tell my mom how much I love her and how grateful I am to have her. She is such a beautiful person inside and out and I think it is easy to forget those things about ourselves so
I wanted to remind her. While she was at my house today she let me play dress up and put on her make up and snap 4 pictures of her before she left. If you wanna see them you know what to do... CLICK HERE!

I've been slacking, I know!

Judgement.

Sorry this post is not about the girls if you would like to quit reading now...
With everything that has happened in the past few days I have been thinking a lot. About the future, and my children and the kind of women I hope they become. I hope that they would never vote to keep two people from living how they choose, whether they themselves believe it is right or wrong. I hope that their faith in whatever higher power they choose doesn't make them question their inner morals. I hope more than anything, to MY God, that they never think abortion is ok, but more importantly that they never vote to keep women from being able to choose their own path, whether that path is right or wrong.

I think more than anything God is love. More love than we could ever imagine. And sometimes I fell like this "nation under God" has been ridiculous. Why don't people spend more time energy and money on fighting against drugs in their neighborhoods instead of if their gay neighbor should marry his boyfriend or not. I believe what our nation prides itself on is that fact that we are "free". And In many religions, they believe we have free will. God gives us choices. If we have freedom of speech why not freedom of marriage, even if it is "wrong" in God's eyes? I wish we could just allow others to choose what they will.

I have a few gay family members, and whether I think what they do is right or wrong, I believe whole heartedly that they should be able to be with someone they love, and they should be able to have a damn piece of paper too saying it is legal. I think that abortion is murder and very wrong, but if someone wants to choose to do it, I think they should be able to. It is their choice. Free nation my a$$.

I will teach my children right and wrong. I will teach them to have an open heart, open mind, and open arms. I hope they are compassionate, and passionate, and forgiving, and understanding...and above all, I hope they are not quick to judge.


Sorry for the ranting. If you have a positive comment go ahead, anything negative, please keep it to yourself. :)

Happy Birthday! And private.

The girls ate their cakes so differently, Ev got down and dirty.
And emery just used her pointer and thumb to pick little pieces off so funny.

Evelyn did this all on her own it was sooo funny.
Em's end product:
And.. Ev's...hahaha
I just thought this picture was cute!
Emery is such a daddy's girl. so cute.
November 3, 2008

At 9:13 and 9:15 am last year this day, I gave birth to the most beautiful twin girls in the entire world. What an amazing challenging year it has been. At this exact time last year I hadn't even held either of them yet. It was pure agony. I am so thankful that today I can hold my healthy children whenever I want. They are such sweet funny and beautiful girls. I love them through and through.

Saturday we had a lil birthday party for them...We ate food and opened presents. Then the best part...the girls had their own lil pumpkin cakes I made for them. I am strict on what they get fed so I am sure this was the best thing ever times 10. They got lots of great things and spent time with all their grandmas and grandpas except grandpa Rick and Papa couldn't make it. :( They slept all through the night I'm sure from being worn out. Today I made them egg yolks and toast for breakfast and we played with their new toys. Evelyn Masayo and Emery Jean Mommy and Daddy love you so very much. We thank the Lord for blessing us with you everyday.
p.s. I did cry today. And Evelyn has been standing up by herself. :)

12 months old

Taking monthly photos is getting more difficult. The girls are starting to not cooperate. Turds. So, I think I am going to take more outside when it isn't raining. :)

I really like this one for some reason.

{the best poem I've ever written, is the two of you.}


I am making our blog private so that creeps can't read or see our pictures. I will make it private next week, so everyone that wants to continue reading email me your email addresses. smasayo@yahoo.com, otherwise you will no longer be able to view our blog.

4 times the charm?

{cutest babies ever, i know:)}

Halloween. We didn't do anything. We ate dinner at grandma and grandpa great's house. The girls spent the night and we went home. If you know me, then you know that that is a total let down. Halloween is my fav, and I love love dressing up. I had to make cakes and get ready for the girls birthday party on the 1st. So I dressed up alone took some pics and baked some cakes. The reason i say three times the charm is, 3 Halloween's ago I got out of the hospital the day halloween was celebrated after being there for three days. I got to dress up, But felt horrible so we left the party and went hmoe, the day after I had to go back to the hospital because i had an infection in my vein where my IV was. It was horrible. Last year I was in the hospital for ten days so far on halloween, I was very sad, and alone for most the night. I used make up to make myself look like a clown my doctor and nurses saw it and I am sure thought I was silly. I then, cried and washed it off before family showed up to say hi. I spent 7 more days in the hospital. BUMMER right? So I was really excited to not be in the hospital this year...and dress up! Well...atleast i wasn't in the hospital. :( next year right.

{sad puppy}

Tomorrow is the girl's birthday. I will post party pics and 12 month pics.
