more birthday fun

Sunday night we had family and some friends over for cake, ice cream, and opening presents. When I asked them what they wanted for their b-days, they would say "A pink cake!" "A blue cake" These are their favorite colors...A loves pink, O loves blue. So that's what we did. And their AWESOME Aunt Alli bought them the cutest blue and pink outfits for their b-day...aren't they adorable? She also made them their cute bows...we love them...thanks Allison!










They were very gracious hosts too. A kept telling everyone, "Happy birthday to you!" They are so sweet and friendly. I love these kiddos.



Oh and don't you think it's about time I changed my background? I have had the same one for like 2 years!! This new one is from Delightful dots....top right hand conrner....

Happy 3rd Birthday Audree and Olivia

Today My girls turned 3!! Where did the time go? Doug took the day off and we spent the day with our girls. We had a nice quiet morning filled with cartoons and fruit loop necklaces. Here are the girls in front of their bedroom door. They loved the decorations.


We got them ready and had them open some presents....what fun! They love these bouncy balls and some new movies. We then went to Crackers for lunch and then onto Scottsdale Train park.











The girls loved chasing the birds.


Riding the train....they have so many cool parks there.


Waving to the crowd....


A little zooming in close.....


Onto the Ice Cream parlor....yummo! The girls had bubble gum flavor for the first time.


Riding the carosel.



Sweet Audree....I love your gentle way. You are such a cuddle bug. I love how excited you are for the simple things in life. I love your high pitched voice and how you love to dress up. You are so special to me....I love you!


Cute Livvy.....I love your spunk. I love the questions that you come up with. I love how aware you are of the world. I love your friendliness and your laughter. I even love your mishcheveouness!(sp) My life would not be the same without you in it. I love you!


I am so blessed....what cutie patooties! Happy Birthday girls!

Prince Derrick and Princess Odette

Anyone remember the movie "Swan Princess?" By Lex De Azdevedo and the guys who made the church videos?
I used to watch it when I was little and found a copy on Dvd for the girls. They love it of course.

One day the girls came out dressed up holding hands saying that they were Prince Derrick and Princess Odette.....I couldn't resist taking a pic....aren't they cute!
Don't you love O in her panties and cowboy boots?

Get-a-way...well sort of

This past weekend my sweetie and I took a trip up to Bison Ranch in Heber for one last get-a-way before our babies come. It was fun to be alone and together, but I was super uncomfortable on the drive, didn't sleep at all in the bed, and wasn't very much fun to be around. We had a good time being in the snow and eating at yummy local places like June's Diner and The Red Onion. We had 2 nights there but ending up driving home the next day because I wanted my own bed....bummer huh. I guess that's what I get for going on a trip 7 months preggo.
I did get some new fat comfy pants while we were there to last me the rest of the pregnancy and we saw "Benjamin Button" which was good. So the trip wasn't a total loss. And we got to be alone and talk about what is in store for us....here are the 2 pics I took while we were up there....




No makeup-only 4 hours of sleep can you tell?


I ordered bedding #2 because I liked the colors the most and it was the cheapest....only $58...sweet! They are shipping it to my local Walmart too...nice.


And I went to the doc and got another ultrasound today. Everything looks great. Better than great. The babies are measuring at 30 weeks ( I am 28) which is abnormal for twins. The ultrasound showed that they were around 3 lbs 4 oz and 3 lbs 6 oz. YAY! I guess my body was made for this...Heavenly Father must know what he is doing!
Oh and I am on official moderated bed rest now. Nothing too crazy just taking it easy.....come and see me if you want!

Thanks for reading everyone!

Christmas 2008

Here is my christmas post....somewhat late. We spent almost a full week in Thatcher and had a great time. My mom set up a tall bed for me so I wouldn't have to get on and off the floor. Thanks mom! I accutally slept pretty good there. Doug went hunting a few times, we went to the snow, out to eat, to the movies, played games and loved being with our family. It was a great vacation.

Here are the girlies at our ward Christmas party a few days before....breakfast with Santa.




Oh and Santa came to my mom's house on Christmas Eve....fun huh!


Here they are Christmas morning. They loved opening their presents, helping others open their presents and handing out presents. It was fun to watch their sweet faces.



We didn't start opening until 8:30....it was nice. And of course Audree had to put on a dress up. Here is a skirt that my mom made.


Here is their loot. B/c they got the swing set they only got a few things. Games, movies puzzles, crafts and dress-ups. What more could a girl want.


Here we are at the mountains with our cousins. It was very slippery and we couldn't drive up to far. But the kiddos didn't care, Olivia licked the snow the ENTIRE time. Audree just played and played.









Thanks for the opionins on the bedding everyone...I am thinking 1 or 2.... I'll see which one is cheaper.

Opinions Please!!

Just trying to decide what I want the boys room to look like. I need to get going on this! Just 10 weeks left! I have found 4 cheap/cute beddings that I liked online but I can't decide which one I like the best. Some are pretty similar....what do you all think?

Here are few more of my favorites....
We are off to Thatcher for a week for Christmas....I hope everyone has a great holiday with their families!














And here's a picture for a giggle...nice!

Anyone notice how many days left on my baby ticker?

YAY! 100! Wow...this is going by quick! And since I will deliver early I get to take 20-30 days off that....so I have less than 100! YIPPE! I can't wait to see what they look like!

Farewell Elder Davis

This past Sunday we were able to go to Thatcher for a 24 hour trip to go to Doug's youngest brother's farewell. He is going to Uganda Africa and just left for the MTC today. He gave a great talk and I know he will be a super missionary.

Doug will miss his shooting and fishing partner...


Her last baby to leave....


All of Doug's siblings except for Darren who is in Taiwan teaching english...


They will be almost 5 when he gets back


All the grandkids with Kevin...he is such a great example.


After he was set apart. He was able to set apart at home with everyone around. The spirit was strong. I'm so glad we were able to be apart of it.


Last night before we left for FHE the kiddos and put on a nativity. Doug was Jospeh and the girls were sheered sheep. They would not put on the costumes that the cousin's wanted. So they were naked sheep. Funny girls
