ThE TwInS ArE SeVeN!!

Happy Birthday Garrett & Alex!!

I can't believe the twins are seven years old today. They are growing up so fast. They have become little men. They enjoy playing video games and playing with their friends. They are the best big brothers to Jex, they always let him tagg along and they always let him do what they are doing.

I can't believe that it was seven years ago that I made Michael take me to the hospital at 3:oo am and to have them tell me that I was in labor but that it would have to be stopped until my doctor was available. I was scheduled for C-Section at 10:30 but soon found out that someone else was going instead of me so I would have to wait until 3:30 pm. Garrett was born at 3:29 pm and Alex followed 2 minutes later at 3:31 pm. They were the cutiest babies ever, they still are the cutiest twins on the planet.

We love them very much and are very thankful that they are part of our lives.

We have a party planned for Friday so I will post pictures after that.

I got this fun post from a friend that Michael worked with. It was fun, Thanks Tracey!!

Caught Up

So as you can tell I have not blogged for so long so I needed to catch up. I just posted a few new posts. I need to get better at posting. I should make that one of my New Years Resolutions. ENJOY!!

Garrett & Alex

So we have this thing with Garrett & Alex, they love to hang around the house in their UNDERWEAR!! We keep telling them they need to get dressed because people often drop by and they will see them in their underwear. Well they don't care and as you can see I caught them both in their underwear asleep in the chair together. They will probably freak out when they find out I posted this but oh well maybe they will learn.

Love you Garrett & Alex!!

Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas, we hope all of you did to. The kids were out of control for the whole time they were home on Christmas break. We enjoyed our Christmas with family and had a nice time. Sorry for the lack of pictures Michael was in charge of the camera (no wonder there is a pic of the backside of me).

SNOW!!

So with all the snow we have been getting it feels like all we do is shovel. This particular day we decided to let Jex go out and play in it. It was before Christmas and he was getting a coat for Christmas so all we had for him to wear was one of the twin's so it is big on him but he had fun. As you can see he wanted to ride his bike and his scooter but soon found out that they don't go very well in the snow. It was so cold on that day that as you can see Michael has ice hanging from his facial hair.

Lights

So Michael suprised me and got a babysitter for the boys for the night and took me to Salt Lake. We went to the Body Worlds 3 and then went to the Gateway for dinner and then to Temple square to see the lights. Here are some pics from Temple Square. We had a blast and it was so nice not to have kids to put to bed and be able to relax. Body Worlds 3 was so cool, if you have a chance to go you should.
