Vancouver Baby shower

Matt, Talmadge and I went up to Vancouver the other weekend for my baby shower. It was so much fun. Matt's sisters were great enough to come down and be there for the shower. The decorations, people and food could not have been any greater. Here are some fun pictures!!

Matt's awesome sister Mindie, mom and sister Amanda, who threw the baby shower for me!!!

Seriously look at how cute these decorations are!!!!! Can not get over the fabulous girls shoes and headbands that I get to put on my girls.

Some of the cutest bathing suits I think I have ever seen for girls!

My sister in law Mindie made the girls these incredible little two two's!!!! How cute are they!!!

Sadly enough this is my sister in law Amanda who is due with her little boy 1 week earlier then me. Guess you can tell the difference between baking one baby and baking two!

The kids got to due lots of fun things over the weekend. One of which, Grandma got them all Toy Story T-shirts and we all went to see Toy Story 3. Which was a great movie. They also went to the zoo and went swimming it was a fun filled weekend.

Snuggling with Nanna at night to watch a movie and fall asleep

The day we got back was Fathers day, so we had fun giving Matt his little onsies from the girls and the Grill Master for the BBQ, and of course my favorite the matching hats from the little boy who loves to BBQ with his dad!!

A Mothers Day for the books!!!!

Mothers day this year was one that could go down in the books for me. We started out the day to a Walk for the Cure (Breast Cancer), Matt's work was great enough to pay for anyone that entered and gave us t-shirts and all. I would love to say I ran it, but well that would be close to impossible a the moment. Talmadge was a great trooper and did it with us. There was over 15,000 people there.

This is Talmadges first taste of chocolate milk (I know sad 2 1/2 and just now tasting it. It only took one weird face and then he was loving the stuff)

I get to then go out with my mom and sisters from 1pm on and go to perade of homes, then we went to dinner and a movie and didn't get home till about 12am. All day without any children and just us girls. It was beutiful weather and fabulous company, and so relaxing!!!!!

On Sunday I woke up and during breakfast was given some awesome jewelry from my husband and son

This was my awesome jewelry I got from my boys, and the flower the Talmadge got me and decorated the pot in nursery.

However, my mothers day didn't stop there it continued on to Monday when we got to go to the Dr's office and have our ultrasound that told us not only that our babies are doing great but that we are going to be welcoming two baby girls into our family. Matt and I could not be any more excited. I can't believe we have been so blessed with a great little boy and now 2 little girls. Matt is a little scared for the shopping problem that I am sure will start soon, and I can't wait to start doing everything girly!!!!!!

Here is our 2 little girls at 19 weeks along!!!!!!

All things Talmadge

Talmadge has had a fun little time around here. First the weather has finally been getting nicer and feeling like spring around here. So, it finally was time to pull out the BBQ set that he got from Matt's parents clear back from his birthday. And oh man can I tell you the kid can not seem to get enough of it. The first day I opened it that is all he played with from start to finish. Since then he makes sure to play with it every single day!!!!! He loves acting like dad and BBQing.Thank you Nanna and Grandpa, this a quite a hit!!!!!!

Also, due to the new arrivals coming soon, we had to change Talmadge rooms. So we made him, what I think is the cutest Mickey Mouse room. He is really excited about it and loves playing in his room now. We put stars all up on the ceiling for him to stare at at night and he thinks they are pretty cool. Here are some pictures.

Happy Easter

Easter was so great this year. I am sorry for the amount of pictures but I always have a hard time picking and choosing on holidays, so this was best I could do.This is the first year Talmadge actually got the whole searching for Easter eggs, it made for such a great weekend. First we started out by the weekend before Easter our Ward had an Easter egg hunt at the church. He was just so proud of himself. Must excuse the cuts on his nose he took a nice face plant at a playgound just the day before. Then for real Easter weekend we got to have the Stevens in town. It was so great to see them, didn't take Talmadge long at all to warm up to all of them. We got to have his parents and 2 brothers to stay with us.Talmadge could not get enough of Grandpa, bring him book after book and game after game. I think, Grandpa has found a life long buddy!!!Nanna was great enough to play the Wee with him. And we can all guess what came Talmadge wanted to play over and over. Basketball!!!!!He loved playing the iphone with Uncle Nick. And drawing with Uncle Adam on his computer.

For Easter day we went over to my sisters for a little while and did an Easter egg hunt with all the kids. Talmadge had a blast and so did Makenzie and Andra. I am so glad that he has cousins around to do things like this with. It makes the world a great place. Grandma was great enough afterward to sit and help Talmadge short through all of his candy and start to eat all his chocolate, he was in seventh heaven. Just had to post this picture, what a cute picture of Mason and Grandma.After that we went back to our house and had a great Stevens family Easter dinner. (PS - I will post a better prego picture of myself later not sure this is the most flattering. But I am really starting to show as you can see)This is the awesome sweater vest Grandpa and Nanna got Talmadge for Easter, he didn't get to wear it to church because it was General Conference but he got wear it a few days latter to a wedding reception we went to. Isn't he just about the biggest stud ever!!!!

It was a great holiday. I know I say this with every holiday, but it is so true. Kids make holidays so much funner and worth while!!!!!!

Pregnancy 2/1/2 months

Ok so my goal this pregnancy is to take more pregnancy pictures along the way, so I thought I would post this and let the family know how I am looking 2 1/2 months into pregnancy with twins. The pictures could get scary towards the end because the pictures I have seen you look like you have a missel out the front of you, but needless to say I think it is fun to look back on. So, her I am 2 1/2 months alongThings haven't changed much as far as symptoms, still nauseated, tired and starving all the time. However, I am getting use to the fact that I am growing two little babies inside of me and I am loving that I get the opportunity to bring them into the world. They are adding a lot of warmth to my soul!!!!!

The Stork is on its way!!!!!

Ok so most of you have already heard. But for those that haven't or those that just want to see the picture. We are having a baby!!!!!! Or may I say babies!!!!!!!!! Yes you heard me right. We found out about a month and a half ago that we were pregnant, which we were so extactic about, could not be happier!!!!
We went in a couple of weeks ago for our first ultrasound, so excited to see our little bean. When we got the shock of a life time. The technician told us there were 2 little beans.........needless to say Matt and I were shocked out of our minds. Yes, you have it right we are having twins!!!!!!!!! They are fraternal twins as you will see in the ultrasound picture. (They are in 2 different sacks), so here is the picture of our 2 little children that will coming to join us sometime in September. So, my official due date in Oct. 1st, but I probably won't make it to due date so they will be here sometime in September. I have been feeling pretty good except constantly tired, hungry, and nauseated. The one joy all women should feel when pregnant and hungry constantly is food looking good. However, not happening this time around. I just have to pick what makes me feel the least sick out of them all. But other then those things I can't complain.
Matt and I are so elated, scared, excited, dazed, and happier beyond belief at our 2 little ones that will be arriving!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Life around the house

So life around here has been pretty fun, we have been able to spend more time as a family and been starting family night on Monday nights and we try to find some fun thing Talmadge will love doing or we all will. Here are some pictures. One night we made homemade pizza's which turned out really good. By the way Talmadge loves this little stepping stool I got him, he loves to help me cook every night!!!We did finger painting and then made root beer floats for desert. Talmadge loved sucking off the foam from the floats like Daddy showed him to. It was quite funny. We have really enjoyed our family nights.

Other things we have been doing around the house areI love this picture of these too. They just have way to much fun together. Makenzie calls Talmadge her best friend. Hanging out and playing in the snow with cousins. This day was really cold and windy and the snow was not nearly as fun as we were hoping it would be.Being completely and utterly stupid with the girls. Thanks to Crystals bows that she makes. Matt will hate me for posting this pictures but personally I think it is one of the most endearing pictures ever!!!!!!!! I how I love my boys!!!!
