Spring, and a lot of things actually ;)

Sometimes we attempt the store, either this way or in a car cart :)



Logan turned 5! I need to get a picture of him on his new bike :)


,



I had wanted to do April Fools for Logan, it ended up being on April 2nd, but I made a meatloaf "cake" and although he was there while I made it, he must not have been paying attention. He really believed that it was a cake, it was hilarious watching him try it :)

Yes, the ladies may look sweet and innocent, but their developmentally appropriate surge of independence, "ME DO IT", and general curiosity has led to what I have previously referred to as the "twinado". Sometimes I think I should jot down lists of everything they get into, mostly for me, so I can look at it and laugh sometime. While it is going on, staring at the completely unrolled toilet roll of toilet paper, is not funny, not funny at all. Mostly, I try and snap a picture if I remember and I am not too furious :)

Getting into my mascara.

Sewing.



Easter! The best present I could ever want. Josh had no morning meetings!!!



The best pic I could get. Logan had to have the transformer, and I couldn't get both girls to look and smile at the same time.

Although this stay-at-home mom thing is tiring and hard some days, there are they beautiful moments I find like this moment captured in the picture. My son, reading to his sisters. Those are the moments I remember that I love what I do and I am grateful that I have been blessed with my children.

A Couple of Updates

I haven't been very involved in the online world very much in the recent months. I haven't been feeling very well. I had mostly rejoined the feeling-better society and getting excited for the ultrasound which we had yesterday on January 15th. Yes, I am Pregnant!!! 20 weeks to be exact and I had gone to 4 doctors appointments and heard the heartbeat several times. Josh and I went to the ultrasound anxious to find out the gender, because we are planners of course. I got situated and the person doing the ultrasound put the wand on my belly and I looked up at the monitor and saw two circles. (I wish we had a picture of that, but we don't have that exact one) In my mind I said, "that is two heads." She said, "Oh, did you guys know you were having twins?" Josh turned, because he had not seen the two heads on the monitor yet and said, "Uh, no". And she said, "Well, you are!" Surprise. A few moments later we found out it was two girls. Wowza....

100th Post!

And Josh and I have been married for 4 years, Wahoo! I am so lucky to have Josh! He is strong where I am weak and somehow manages to make everything right whenever he's around. Most of all what I love having in him is a best friend. He watches my silly shows with me and makes me feel like the coolest girl around. In case you don't know how we met . . . be sure to always attend institute, and choir while you're at it. Josh joined the Orem Institute choir for the summer with a couple of his buddies, mostly to meet some women :) Well, Josh wasn't so lucky, but his friend was and ended up getting married, where Josh was the best man. I came to the wedding reception (I knew Emily from LD Singers, a choir through the Ephraim Institute) . . . and later Josh hinted that he wouldn't mind being set up on a date with me. 11 months later Josh and I were married! Thanks Jon and Emily!

3 Years

Here we are. The girls are 3 years old and I can hardly believe it. That is the crazy thing about being a mom. Seeing these ladies grow day by day makes it hard to tell how big they are. Whenever I happen to see a picture of them one or two years ago, I am blown away and how much they can do now, compared to before. I tend to focus on all the things they are getting into and how often they are fighting and not-so-much on the positives, but these ladies are truly amazing. I fill my pinterest quote board with sayings I find about "babies don't keep" and "sticky floors mean good experiences" and the like to keep my sanity semi-in-check. (It comes and goes) Truly sisters do make the best friends and I hope these ladies remain best friends the rest of eternity. They are so blessed to have each other.  When they are actually getting along :) I think about how nice it must be to have a constant playmate. They get along with other friends, but they get to have ...
