Welcome Paris and Vienna

This last week we were blessed with the arrival of our 2 little sweethearts!!!! It all started with my water breaking at home about 4 in the morning and rushing down to the hospital. By 9 that morning I was already being wheeled into the delivery room, or operating room in our case. So, delivering in an operating room, no one was allowed in except for Matt so pictures of the delivery are very limited unfortunately. I could not have asked for a better delivery though.

Here is our perfect little girls!!!!!! Paris on the left and Vienna on the right. Paris was 7 pounds 12 ounces and Vienna was 7 pounds 4 ounces. Hopefully you can see from the pictures. Paris has bright red hair and Vienna has dark brown. They really couldn't look any different it really is funny!!!!

The girls had to spend the week in the NICU because there blood sugar levels were to low. This was there little crib are that they shared. We were so blessed though to be able to bring them home with us the day we left

Matt's parents were able to drive down and see the girls in the hospital. It was great to have them be able to see them

This was the night we got home from the hospital. Talmadge had not even seen Vienna because she had been in the NICU the whole time. He could not have been any more excited to see 2 babies instead of one!!!! We even got him his own little baby to take care of and he loves it!!

The girls cannot get enough of the girls which is just to much fun, I love having 2 of them for everyone to love on!!!!

Sleeping time has become a little scarce in our house. But we cannot complain our little girls really are good and sleep really well!!!

Welcome my perfect little girls we could not love you any more!!!!!!!

Life around here

So life around here has been pretty busy, trying to get everything ready for the girls arrival. However we have been able to get some pretty fun things in.

Talmadge got to go fishing for the first time ever with Dad and a family in the ward whome we just love. They have a bunch of boys so it is fun for Talmadge to hang out with them. He was so proud he even got a couple of fishes.

One of our favorite things to do is to go out to my Dad's. I know that might be weird to some but it is just the greatest spot were he is at. The kids love to run around and play and make Grandpa's grave all clean and pretty. This is one time when just Talmadge, Grandma and I ran out on a nice morning.

We have had fun swimming with some of our friends the Bell's.

Playing soccer and tons else with cousins!!!! What would I do without cousins around!!

Pregnancy at 33 weeks along.

For those who are wondering how pregnancy is going. I am ready to be done. Carrying twins is not for the light hearted. I have been on meds since 6 months along to stop contractions. Then, since 33 weeks (I am currently 36 weeks) along I have ended up in labor and delivery 4 times, spend a week in antipartum, while trying to get my labor to stop, once being released I had to spend another week on total bed rest. Now I am allowed to go into labor and I wake up every night with contractions and all day long but nothing strong enough to put me into labor. (How ironic is that!!!)

Anyway, not to complain, just wanted to update those family members that don't always hear everything. I just need to say, I WANT MY GIRLS HERE!!!! And not just for my own comfort sake. I want them here to love and snuggle on!!!!!!!!

Ok not the most flattering picture of me but, I just love this picture of Talmadge snuggling with his little sisters. How I love my children!!!!

PS - I have to say to everyone just how wonderful my family has been through all this helping me out with Talmadge and my house on a daily basis. What would I do without you guys!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

Happy 4th of July

The 4th of July was so much fun this year. We had my brother Todd his wife Kat and their 3 girls here to visit. So it was day after day of nothing but cousins playing!!!! We went to the water park one day man did the adults have fun and for us that couldn't go down the water slides had so much fun watching the little ones in the kiddy area going down the slides again and again and again. It was a great time by all!!!

I didn't really get a whole lot of pictures most of the weekend except 4th of July night, were we had a BBQ and lit off fire works!!!! Here are some highlights!!

Talmadge loved the fire works this year!!!!! The sparklers were his favorite!!!

Talmadges favorite buddy to always hang out with...........Austin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My lovely family. Chad, Corinna and Todd!

The girls and their cute little matching T-shirts. The boys, Talmadge and Mason had matching ones two but by the time we were taking these pictures Mason was in bed. They looked so cute together though!!!

My little sweet heart enjoying the fireworks with me. (Excuse the jacket it is Makenzies, we forgot to bring him one)

Matt loved being the tech-no pro for the firework show!!!!

Could Talmadge be having any more fun with Uncle Chad!!!!

Kat and I enjoying the show. We do not get to see these guys enough!!!!

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!!!!!!
