Hope everyones Holiday was great!Daddy and Oscar mommy and Oliver hiking through the woods to find the perfect tree.11/28/2008 If I could figure out how to move all these pics side by side i would cuz then i could see a more accurate goodbye and now pic. I think my love handles are getting smaller. i am starting to wonder if i will ever completly get rid of the belly but i still feel like i am in an ok place. i am working on all the places that i can, the boobs are a whole other story. They are the worst!! My mom had a boob job done when i was very young so i was never "lucky" enough to know that after kids and nursing that your boobs would then hang to your knees..it should be a pre- pregnancy warning. i went in to see how much it would cost to have them fixed and it will be around $8,000 since i have to have a lift also. So that project will be waiting a year or so hopefully sooner though. Sigh!! We had a great Thanksgiving and today we went up the canyon with lots of friends and cut our christmas tree. I think it will be the start of a new tradtion! Happy Holidays to all of you blessed mommas!We were lucky enough to get in one more good day of outdoor swimming this year before it turned cold. We went over to my little sisters in-laws house. IT was on October 1st and still in the upper 80's. This weekend the weather has changed to be more fall like nad has rained all weekend wich has been really nice and relaxing. The boys are getting so big and time is flying. When I first had the twins I remember thinking that I would not ever want to have twins again that it is to hard and exhausting, but now my goodness I would do it all over again to have two. They are so fun and so cute I LOVE to watch the 2 of them together. They don't do anything without there brother. I LOVE TWINS!!!

09/2008My

hubby and I have started p90x so these are my "goodbye" pics. I will post more when we are done. Wish us luck!

08/2008The boys are 13 months now and have been walking for a few months now. They are so fun and cute together. Oli the oldest has started biting his brothers when he gets mad or wants something and they are not coperating with his requests and Oscar is the hitter of the 2 but for the most part they just play and laugh with one another. I will tell ya having 2 little ones that want to climb the stairs and head in different directions is BUSY!! I wouldn't change it for anything. Oli at his one yr was 21.7lbs 27.5 in. Oscar was 19.15lbs and 27 in

The boys are 10 months now wich I can hardly believe. Time is flying!! Oscar can crawl but won't and he also took his first very coaxed steps last night. We were very proud of him. Oli still ust rolls but will walk around things if we stand him up on the table or something, he is kinda a chicken.

Next month I will be leaving all of my little ones to head to the Uk for a week to visit my little sister. My older sister is going with me...I am both way nervous nad way excited. I have started winging the boys Oliver has taksen to the bottles nicely but Oscar still wants to nurse more. I pretty much just nurse them in the morning and at night, sometimes in the afternoon other then that it is all bottles. They eat 3 meals a day with snacks and have around 3 bottles plus nurse 2x they are such mommas boys. I really love them and think they are so much fun and am a little sad that this first crazy year is allready almost over. Where does the time go?! Any advice from anyone on England I would love to hear from you.9 months later...there is light at the end of the tunnel!!The twins just turned 9 months on the 12, I can not believe how fast time has gone. Oscar is on the left and Oli is on the right. oliver weighed in at 18.14 lbs and Oscar was 17.5lbs. oscar is learning to crawl and has gotten his first tooth. Oliver loves his walker and has no teeth. They are so sweet and are getting cuter and easier the bigger they get. They also are so different. Oli is ver observant and serious Oscar is very outgoing and loves people and laughs very easy. They both bring double the smiles to our lifes and we feel blessed although chaotic at times to have this wonderful family of ours. To all new twin parents I promise it gets easier and goes FAST!!

Oscar and Oli are 7 months old now. They are so cute and fun. They still are not great sleepers but they are great entertainers. Do not try this at home. I came home rfrom the movies only to discover that my boys had a new trick. I think my heart skipped a beat.

The one with the tongue out is Oliver adn the one with the poky up hair is Oscar in the single pics. The double is Oli and Oscar they are 5 months old now.

HAVE STARTED A BLOG IF YOU WANT TO CHECK IT OUT AND LEAVE A COMMENT IT IS our5people.blogspot.com. I WILL BE DOING MORE BLOGGING FOR NOW. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FOR ALL OF YOUR SUPPORT AND PRAYERS THROUGHOUT THIS LAST YEAR.

10/12/07 That Spder Man is in the way of my new pics and I don't know how to make him go away. We went fot the twins 4 month check up and they did great. The shots allways make me sad! They weigh Oliver 14.1 lbs and is 241/2 inches nad Oscar is 12.5 lbs and 23 inches. They are getting so big. They started eating rice cereal this week and Oscar loves it he smiles with every bite Oliver on the other hand is learning to like it. It is fun to update I don't get to often.

8/28/07 Really, sometimes the computer is SO FRUSTRATING. I have been trying to do a slideshow ,but it ain't happenin'. AAAHHH!! Anyway I decided sine I did all of my belly pics I would do a post baby pic. This is me 9 weeks postpartum. I still need to lose 15 lbs to be back to pre-pregnancy weight of 135. I know I look silly and am making a goofy face, but it's all I got. The next pic is the whole fam on August 5 for the boys blessing day. We actually had 4 blessings that day 3 of wich my hubby did. We have a niece that was born 1 day before the boys that lilves in Idaho they were here in town adn she hadn't been blessed so we did all 3 of them in one shabang. It was very neat! Oliver did 71/2 hrs last night and Oscar did 8. YEA YEA YEA!!! It was beyond awsome I woke up this morning thinking that is what it is like to sleep. I haven't slept since I was around 6 months pregnant. It has been around a half of year since I got a good nights sleep. Since the girls started school on Monday we are back on a 8 pm bedtime for all 5 of them and yes it works. It is so very nice to have a schedule back ecspecially since we now get atleast 1 hr to us. I also started to babysit again today. So far so good.

Really what is funny is how mispelled EVERYTHING is!! Even as I do this I writng everything wrong. I really am still very tired and look forward to some sleep. I really didn't think one person could be this exhausted. They fall asleep at about 8:30 and Oliver sleeps until 1 and Oscar 130. That is 5 hrs, but I can't get into bed until atleast 10 and then it takes a little while to wind down. The boys are GREAT and they are a joy to have. We love them very much and still look at them amazed that there is 2. The girls will go back to school in a few weeks and that will be nice. They are fighting constantly right now. I am sure they are bored since we really haven't done anything this summer with bedrest and then the twins coming. Next summer will be better! I really can not believe that it is already the middle og August, where is time going? I really do not look forward to the winter, ugh!! I do look forward to Fall and Spring they are my favorite. Fall has a very meloncaly feel in the air and spring is full of new beginnings. I LOVE IT!! Well I hope you all are enjoying being mommas.
