Happy Pre Birthday To Me

With my 30th quickly approaching we took advantage of Clints 4 day weekend and went to The Pirate Dinner Adventure. It was a perfect way to celebrate my birthday with my baby girls and keep them entertained at the same time. Also celebrating birthdays this month was Kaylee and Iris. So it was fun to celebrate together as a family.


Birthday Girls: Kaylee, Iris, and Me

The show was so much fun. Cadey was completely entertained by the show. She just sat on the table and pretty much watched the whole thing. Chloe on the other hand was suffering from a new tooth coming in and was a little distracted by the pain.

As I leave my twenties behind me and get ready to see what new and exciting things the thirties have to offer,  I am so lucky to have my amazing family and friends by my side.

10 Months

Its a big month for the girls we have officially moved the girls into their nursery. They have been sharing a crib in our room and were really starting to get cramped so it was off to the nursery where they can start sleeping in their own cribs.

The girls are really starting to show off their own personalities now. Chloe is very much a animal lover like her mommy. She loves playing with the dogs and wishing she could get a hold of the cats.

Cadey loves reading. I love catching her reading in a corner by herself. She also loves rolling around the house. Not sure she will ever decide to crawl since she can roll so fast. Cadey is always rolling after the dogs trying to figure out how that doggie door works.

Every month the girls surprise me with a new skill on the day they turn another month older and today Chloe out of no where decided to get on all fours! She doesn't know what to to do on all fours but to rock back and forth but it sure is a big step towards crawling.



Merry Christmas!

I cant believe Christmas is finally here! Christmas time has a whole new spirit and excitement this year sharing it with my little girls. We started off our Christmas with new traditions. We took the girls to go see Christmas lights in this amazing neighborhood where everyone has tons of lights that play to Christmas music played on a radio station. It was so much fun to be all bundled up all cozy taking in the joys of Christmas.

We spent our Christmas morning this year at Grandma Teri's house. The girls had a blast opening all of their presents and also fighting over them too.



Santa Babies

Today Clint got sent home from work since it was raining so we took advantage of our Monday and decided to go see Santa Clause. Since it's our first Christmas we weren't sure what to expect when the girls finally got to meet Santa. Of course they did great actually they weren't really sure what the big deal was. They just looked up at Santa then back at us wondering why some crazy lady is shaking bells at them. The picture isn't full of smiles but I am a happy mama it isn't full of tears.

We also picked up a personalized ornament at the mall. We get one every year (since we've been married) to represent that special year. Its always fun to hang them on the tree every year and look back and all the great years we have had together.

I love this ornament from last year. Grandma Teri got this for me since I was too pregnant to go get one last year. I think it sums up last year perfectly.





9 Months Old

9 months is already here. I cant believe how much they have grown and their personalities keep blossoming as well. The girls are still sleeping in our room and we just upgraded to a king size bed so they can climb into our bed in the morning and watch their favorite cartoon Micky Mouse Clubhouse while I go back to sleep. Between the new teeth coming in and the babies head cold I feel like I am up all night.

As I was writing this blog thinking about how there is no new milestones to report Chloe and Cadey both decided that tonight at exactly 9 months that they would start holding their own bottles. I am one happy mama and so excited to pass this feeding onto them. It's much more enjoyable for me to have them cuddle up next to me while they eat then having my arms cramp up while I have to hold to bottles at the same time.

Two sick babies equals one sick mommy

This weekend has become my worse nightmare both babies woke up with a head cold Friday morning. I have always had the fear of taking care of two sick babies and feeling sick with them. Just the thought of two screaming babies while you feel like your on your death bed scares me. Well its here Clint and I both woke up Sunday with a sore throat and was all down hill from there, fever, body aches, and lots of tissues. In the midst of feeling like I was hit by a truck all I could do is feel sorry for my babies. They cant tell me if their throats hurt or even get to blow their noises. They don't even get to take a decongestant, the only thing they get to do is cry and wonder what has happened to them. As we battle our cold as a family I took these super cute pictures of the girls soaking in a nice warm bath.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving has brought a whole new meaning of being thankful this year to our family. Having Cadey and Chloe in our lives has brought such joy and excitement every month as they grow and bringing new life to all of our holidays.

We have also realized this month how thankful we need to be for our health. A couple of days before thanksgiving my sister in law Terra found out that she had melanoma skin cancer at the age of 24. What we thought was going to be a quick removal of a little mole we came to find out the cancer has already spread to two of her lymph noides. With the surgery being a little bit more invasive then planned we decided that we would need to change our Thanksgiving plans and head up to Apline on Thursday to have dinner there so Terra could rest and still be a part of the Thanksgiving dinner. We are all praying for her that they were able to remove all the cancer.

Grandpa Don came down for a couple of days from Vegas to spend the holidays with his favorite grand daughters. He cooked us up an amazing feast Friday since our turkey didn't get cooked for Thanksgiving.

We are so blessed and thankful for our family, friends and of course our biggest blessings of them all is our two little turkeys.
