Party!!!

The girls had such a great time at their b-day party on Wednesday! The Jeff Davis family, The Zito's, The Sawyer's, and The Berryhill's where there. We had Costco cake and pizza, opened presents, watched a movie about the girls 1st year of life and watched them eat cake!*The best part* Audree loved the frosting and dove right in....Olivia didn't eat too much until Doug put the cake in her face....too cute! The next day they had pink and purple poo....ewww! Here are some pics of the fun day!

We made it! 1 year of Breastfeeding!

We did it! I am so proud of me and my girls! We made it to a year!!! At times it seemed like we wouldn't make it this far but we did. And they weigh......drumroll

Audree....21 lbs!
Livvy.....20 lbs!

They started out at 7.3 and 5.10 so they are growing just fine. I am so glad that I gave them this gift.
We are weaning and will be done soon... but that is good too. From about 9-10 months it was such a fight to get them to nurse.

And just so all you new mom's know....it wasn't always a piece of cake! We had 4 rounds of thrush.... , mastitis, a few clogged ducts, and biting holes in my nipples.

Even though it was hard at times, I love that I made so big and strong. I love the smiles with milk, the patting while eating and the yummy sweet grunts while they eat.

Just had to share my joy...thanks for reading!

It's here....my little angels are ONE!

WOW! That year went by quick! Didn't it? I can remember so vividly the day my sweeties came into this world. There 1st cries were magic. Having 2 to raise this 1st year has been a challenge at times, but also a huge blessing. Doug and I feel very honored to be their parents, and so humbled that Heavenly Father would entrust us with two of his special spirits at once. Each new milestone has brought so much joy. We love having our 2 special babies in our home.....we truly feel like we are living in heaven on earth.
So....enough weeping....(been doing that alot the past few days) Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you....Happy Birthday dear Audree & Olivia....Happy Birthday to you!

Christmas In Thatcher






Just wanted to share a few pics from the girl's first Christmas! We stayed in Thatcher for almost a week and a half and had lots of fun getting into all of grandma's stuff.
In the last pic,the girls are playing peek-a-boo under the desk in the kitchen. The second to last pic is our family on Christmas Eve going to Church...notice the scar on Doug's head....he was trying to scare his sister and crashed his head into his parents' front door....ouch! He had to go to the hospital to get it glued and put together.
The next 2 pics are of Christmas morning in their new Christmas jammies.
Then the girls had spagetti for the 1st time....yummm quite a mess though!
Lastly, we had some matching dresses and took pics of all the kids. What a good time!
