6 months and counting!

I can't believe my baby boys are 6 months old. A friend of mine who has twin girls told me the first year will be a blur of feedings and changing diapers!! After she told me that I got a little sad because I cherish the first year so much so I have made an effort to really enjoy each day with these boys and try to mentally record thoughts and memories in my mind!! Dustin and Drew are both over 16 pounds and getting heavier by the day. I have stronger biceps to prove it! Right now they are in the 80th percentile in their height yes I said height. This is strange because Mark and I are both not the tallest people in the world. Drew rolled over for the first time this week and Dustin said "Da Da Da" today! It seems like everyday is a new mile stone. After surviving the first 2-3 months I have loved being the Mother of twins. It is twice the work but as they say it is twice the fun!! Brianna continues to grow so fast. She is going to Dixie State Preschool, taking Ballet classes and loves being around other kids. She is spelling her name and other small words. She is a really responsible girl. She gets herself ready, brushes her teeth, makes her bed and usually makes her own meals. I am trying to hold her off from doing her own hair because we all know how that usually turns out! I have posted a bunch of pictures from our comings and goings over the past 6 months!

Twins finally Arrive!!

Hello everyone I am still alive and kicking!! I have been a busy little mother over the past 2 1/2 months and have not had much time to post pictures! I have taken so many but only have time to post a few. On April 7th Mark and I added two new beautiful baby boys to our family. Dustin Mark Udy was born at 9:26 a.m. 6 pounds 9 ounces and 18 inches long. Drew Robert Udy was born at 9:27 a.m. 6 pounds 10 ounces and 19 inches long. They were good sized babies especially for twins! They came out healthy and happy and never had to spend anytime in the NICU. I was so happy and relieved!! The past 2 1/2 months had been a roller coaster ride for Mark and I but we have survived! We simply could not have done it without the help of family and friends! Thank you to all that traveled to Saint George and helped me out and for those who offered up prayers from afar I truly felt them. This has been a very humbling experience and I have relied so much on the Lord to get me through the first month. I love these baby boys they are truly a miracle in my life and I am so grateful for them! They are growing so big and starting to smile and coo all the time! Dustin weighs in at over 11 lbs now and Drew over 10 lbs. They both have their own distinct personalities and did so right off the bat. Dustin is fiery and sassy, he has a very loud cry and lets you know when he is hungry. He is also more interactive and more aware than his brother.I love him for his sassy fun personality. Drew is a sweet, calm, gentle baby who rarely cries and sleeps so good for me! He has a sweet gentle smile that melts my heart. I love them both so much and now can't imagine our life without them. I will try to post more pictures as the months unfold. We love you all and miss seeing family!! Thanks to all that traveled down for the boy's baby blessing in June it was great to see you all!
