This week at our house

It's getting hot these days....here we are enjoying the cool weather one evening. And the lovely new Camo Popper guns from Cabbela's. What a lovely sound.....(not really) They are definitely an outside toy.


Hand and foot prints in the new cement...

New side yard.....for our new JACUZI!(I wish I knew how to spell)

Before...

After...what a fun place to ride bikes!

Boys are growing...changing...still really good babies. I'm wanting to take some new pics of them....maybe I will get a backdrop stand for my b-day? (wink wink...are you reading this Doug?)

Just for fun.....my lovies.

Pictures

When the boys were 11 days old I had 3 great photographer friends come by and shoot some amazing pics of the boys. I already shared the link to Jackie's site, but just had to share the pics that my friend Gina took. This was her 1st newborn shoot and she did amazing!

I really wish I had the energy/time to send you all this adorable announcment. Don't you love it?

















Last but not least....my favorite. She had this special pea pod made just for the boys....I'm getting this one big on my wall for sure...

It's starting....

My life as a single mother of 4.

Anyone been a little hot the past few days? This is great news for us....we haven't had an income for a while. But a little sad for me. Honestly it's not that bad just very busy. But you know the witching hour? When I am trying to get dinner ready, the boys are screaming, the girls are fighting and getting into the cupboards...that's when I when I really feel it.

For the past few months I really haven't done any wifely chores. That's right ladies, no grocery shopping, no doing the dishes, laundry, vacuming, moping, picking things up of the floor...(you get the idea my husband is a saint.) And now all of the sudden with him being gone all day those duties are mine again.shesh I had the good life for sure....how do we get it all done?

I am doing the bare minimum. The girls don't have clean panties? Do a load. Not a dish to eat out of? I guess I better run the dishwasher. So if you come over please don't look at my floors, or in my bedroom. I'm just going to try to enjoy my children before they grow up.

Happy 50th Birthday Mom!!

So anyone who has met my mom or knows my mom, know that she is a totally awesome gal. We love her so much so we got together easter weekend to celebrate!
We went to the Hale Theater to see "Sleeping Beauty" which the girls loved! It was fun to take the girls to their 1st play. We then came home and had an amazing steak dinner made by Doug. YUM! And we gave her a top 50 list of reasons why we love her.
Here are my cute parents before the show.
The girlies in their skirts made by her...she is an amazing seamstress.
(Don't mind that in the next few pics the girls They totally aren't even looking....)

The fairies from the play

Sleeping beauty herself...don't you love their faces....Audree is like, "Her hand is on me!"

All the kiddos (Except for the newborns)

We then came home and attemped a grandkid pic. Ever year for mothers day we get my mom a shirt with all the grandkids on it...here is the best one...it took a while to get this...that's alot of kids under 5. Not too shabby eh?

We had a easter egg hunt in the backyard which the girls loved....A so excited about her egg that had a princess on it.

Show me what you got Livie!

We all pitched in and got her a new right hand diamond ring...which she loves!! YAY for diamonds!

It was so great to be with everyone and celebrate my sweet mother.

Here are the girlies on Easter morning with their baskets...they got a movie and a book with a few treats( no chocolate because of their lactating mother!)

Little Lovies

That's what I have...some sweet 4 week old babies. Oh and my sweetest roomie...J.B. Noble http://jenandcurt.blogspot.com/ made the boys these cutest lovies. Don't you love the colors? Thanks J.b....you are the best! They are sleeping good and eating good...the thrush is all gone....yippe! Things are looking brighter everyday around here.
Aren't they looking chubby?

We get this face alot around here....don't you love the cross eyes?

Mr. Clark

Grunty Grant...that's his nickname...he sure grunts alot.

It's all coming back to me now.....

Oh yes...how could I forget? Does anyone else think that Heavenly Father lets you forget so that you will have more children?
I'm not going to lie...these past few weeks have been wonderful and rough at the same time.

Recovering from a c-sec...was better but still tough. I still need 1-2 naps a day. And I can't do the things I want, no sitting on the floor with the girls or vaccuming( I guess that one's not too sad)

Nursing...the masitis is gone but of course now we have yeast infections and thrush on my nipples. Man... who said that nursing was easy? It's hard for sure...I am now remembering now what I went through with the girls.

Sleep deprevation...that ones a doozy. The world seems bleaker with less sleep. Although I shouldn't complain the boys are in their own room now at night and eating at 9 pm, 1 am, and 5 am....so that is good.

I have had a few days with the baby blues....newborn twins are hard!

So there's the complaints...wow that seems like alot. The boys are 4 weeks tomorrow and things are getting better day by day.
We have had the most amazing help. AWESOME meals, help with the girls, and Doug is still around alot to keep me sane. Thanks to all those that have lent a hand.

I have 4 children...holy smokes...

Here are some pics from the last few weeks.

Cousins Becca and Savanah came over one afternoon and enternained the girls...they had a blast!


My cute mom...has been here almost every weekend since she left. See that awesome Camo boopy? She made a new cover for my twin boppy...she is awesome...Doug loves the camo...fun!

Here we are enjoying a lovely spring evening...all my loves.

The Davis group...

These were when they first came home....cute faces...

A few pics of the boys

I had some amazing photog friends come over the other day to snap some adorable pics of the boys. The shoot was 4 hours long and they did amazing! You are going to DIE when you see all the pics we got....my friend Jackie put a few on her blog...more to come soon!
