Birthdays

Man oh man.. Here it is May already almost June! Where does time go?! We had 3 birthday's this month! Madason's was May 2nd and the boys was May 3rd! I can't believe Madi is 3 and the boys are 1 yes 1... It doesn't seem like it has been that long ago!

Madason had her own little party with her friends on Friday April 29th. She had tons of fun eating pizza and cake and playing with her friends! My sister in law Stephanie made Madason's cake! It was pretty awesome and the girls loved it! It was a tinkerbell cake! So cute..

So then we celebrated the boys and Madi's birthday with our families on April 30th! We had dinner and cake at our house and had lots of fun! Stephanie also made the boys cakes. They were M&M cakes and they were so cute!

These are the boys cakes!

I love this Quinton boy! He is so silly! Everytime I took a picture he would make a funny face!! He was enjoying his cake though!

The boys are crawling everywhere and getting up onto everything they can! It is tons of fun but they sure do keep me busy! I have to say it is a little harder to go places with all 3 kids but I still do it because I am crazy!!

Start of 2011

The boys!

A pic I took for engagment pics!

Well here we are 2011! They boys are 8 months old and just growing so big! Madi is full of life and attitude! She's so funny and loving! We have been sick on and off and I am not a fan of it at all especially when I have 3 kids that can catch it!

So much going on in Febuary! It will be good though! Eli is getting blessed on Febuary 6th, the Burden's womens weekend is that weekend also (which I'm actually going to be able to go this year! Even though I will have all 3 kids!) Desi will be leaving on Febuary 9th to go to China until June 25th which then she will be getting married July 1st! I feel like it is Febuary already but then think and know it can't be! Happy birthday to my amazing Bro Dammon! You are amazing Dammon and have an amazing little family! I'm so glad Eli has gotten to come home and is doing so well! I can't wait to come down and visit with you guys!

Friday night Nate and I actually got to go out on a date Yes just him and I! No kids! How amazing is that! I don't know how long it has been since we've taken the time to do that but we had a ton of fun being together and going to the movies! We watched The Dilemma and it was a funny movie! We then went to McD's and got an ice cream then came home! I had been thinking about the whole going out on a date with no kids and made it a new years resolution to do it ATLEAST once a month! If anyone has any date ideas I'm open to hearing them!

Nate is getting ordained an Elder on the 30th and we will be planning a date for the temple soon! We are so excited to be doing this and So excited we will be able to attend Desi and Sam's wedding! No more missing out on our families going through the Temple! Hopefully one day we will be able to go to lots of different temples and have lots of great experiences!

Another pic for Sam and Desi!

Catch up!

Well here we are! The boys are 8 months old, sitting up, scooting around, rolling around, getting more and more active every week! I'm sure they will be crawling soon! They are amazing little boys though. They are so sweet and handsome! I will admit it's a little hard when they are not feeling well and really fussy all day! But when they aren't sick they do very well, they just sit there and play with there toys and take toys from eachother until they are hungry then they fuss a little!


Nate has been ordained a Priest and will be getting ordained an Elder very soon! We will be getting sealed in the Temple soon also! We are very excited. I am so proud of my husband and all that he has done for our family and how far he has gotten! We have both been trying very hard so we are quite thrilled!

We had a great Christmas at my parents this year! I love the tradition we have had of sleeping all in one area of the house (except for my parents) and then all waking up to go see what "santa" brought us! Then we have a big breakfast and then open presents! We all were very spoiled this year but it was awesome! We then went to Nate's parents and opened presents with his side of the family and had lunch with them! Lots of great food and lots of fun family time!

Temple Lights


Madi, the boys and I were able to go see the Temple lights this year in Mesa! It was a lot of fun and really neat!

Comments/Twins!

Yay! I think my wonderful Sister Desi made it possible for people to comment on my posts now! I'm so excited!

Also, The twins are here! Of course it's been 7 weeks now! I'm so behind on posting! But as you can imagine I don't get a lot of time to just sit here and post! I actually have a minute right now and thought I would post atleast a little something! It's been so wonderful having them here though! They are such amazing babies! They are so handsome, loving, terrific babies so far! Lets see how long I stay sane though!

It also has been so wonderful to not go back to work! I love being home with them all the time! I'm kind of getting into a routine.. Need to work on it a lot though! I have been trying to think of idea's for myself of how to get organized and kind of on a schedule!

I need to figure out a way to get Madason to sleep in her own bed! It's so hard to have her sleeping with us especially when I get lazy at night and just get up and get the boys and put them in bed with me too! 5 people in 1 bed, not so much fun! Anyone have any ideas for me of how to get her in her own bed and on a schedule?! I also need to start working hard on potty training her! She knows the concept of it but I haven't had the time or patients to do it yet! Now that I am going to be home it should be easier you would think! If you have any good tricks of how to do this i wouldn't mind if you shared them with me!

For me, well I am doing great! Feeling good, healing good (I think!) and managing well with 3! Madason is doing well with them.. She just loves to touch them, kiss them, hug them, just love them! It is quite cute just gets frustrating sometimes cause I feel like she's going to hurt them on an accident! Kids just don't know what they are doing and how fradgile the babies really are! I just need to make some friends now that I stay home and have time! Especially ones with kids that can play with Madason cause she gets lonely sometimes! I try to play with her and keep her entertained as much as I can but I can only do so much when I have 2 others that need my attention! I also need to get more creative! I don't have much creativity! Anyway! I am getting used to keeping up with more around the house! Nathan has been working really hard long hours since it's summer and his work is really busy right now! We are very greatful for his job and that he is busy and able to support our little family and is such a wonderful worker! He's amazing!

I have a couple of crying hungry babies so I better go feed them! Glad I got a post in though!

Week 34

Well I have made it to 34 weeks! I am feeling great and have yet to have any complications! Hopefully it will remain that way! Last week we got another ultrasound and saw the doctor! One of the babies weigh 4lbs 11oz and the other 4lbs 12oz. They are growing very well and seem to be doing just fine! I had to get the steriod shot this last week also to help develop their lungs quicker.. I didn't care for those 2 shots! Yuck! This week I will go for another ultra sound on Thursday and then the next 2 weeks after that I will have stress tests on Monday and ultra sounds on Thursday. Then the day of my C-section will be here before we know it!

I have gotten a lot done in the boys room! I think I am almost ready! I feel better now anyway! I've gotten Madason into her new room! We found her a cute bed and painted one of the walls in there and I think she likes it! She knows its her room now instead of the other one!

My sister-in-law Kalynn had her baby on March 21st. He is such a cute little guy! They had a few problems after he was born but they are all doing well now! They are blessing him on May 2nd (Madason's birthday!) I think I am going to celebrate Madason's birthday on May 1st! It will be quite a busy weekend since I go into the hospital Monday Morning early!

Hope everyone is doing fabulous and if I can remember I will be doing atleast 1 post a week to keep everyone updated!

Update on Twins/Life!

Well here it is almost April! I can't believe how fast time has gone! Where do I start!?...

I had a baby shower this last month and it turned out wonderful! Thank you to my Mom for all she did to get that together for me! And thank you to the other family that helped bring stuff (my sister in law made my cake! She did amazing!) Thank you everyone that was able to come! We had a great turn out and sorry if I didn't get to visit with some of you! I felt like I was opening gifts forever! It was so nice but I feel bad cause it's not that exciting most of the time!

Chocolates my Mom made!

My last ultra-sound about 2 weeks ago the babies were looking great. They both weighed 3lbs 8oz! My doctor told me last week that they are even a day or 2 ahead! So I am told I am small for having twins but they must just be cramped up in me! Even the nurses and doctor forget I am having twins! I have to remind them every time they go to listen to the heart beats or measure me! I am just glad they are doing great!

Baby A

31 Weeks

We have scheduled my c-section for May 3rd! I guess we just wanted all our kids in the same month! I go to the doctor next week again and get an ultra-sound. He said he will give me the steroid shot to help develop the lungs quicker so they can be ready to come out! Also they will start stress tests to make sure babies are doing good! I am guessing after this next appointment they will start seeing me weekly!

I have made the decision to stay home after I have the babies! I am excited to be a stay home mommy! It will def. be different since I've worked since I've been a mommy! I'm kinda nervous but I know things will work out one way or the other!

Madason is still just growing more and more everyday! She seems to be getting smarter and smarter everyday! I love that little girl so much! I don't know what I would do without her! I can't wait till it gets warm and stays warm so I can enjoy playing outside with her! I can't believe she will be 2 in May.. It has gone by so fast! Next year will be crazy for birthdays since Madason's is on May 2nd and I am having the boys on May 3rd (if I make it to that day!) So 3 birthday's in 2 days! And then Nathan and mine are both in July! WOW! Insane!

Desirae is moved in with Nate and I. It has been nice to have her there to keep me company when Nate isn't home and she's been wonderful help with Madason and keeping up on my dishes for me! She performed in a school play at the first of March and she did a really good job! She's so amazing and does a great job at all she does!

Lizzie has been doing a tumbling class this year and has enjoyed it very much! She had a performance a couple weekends ago and did a great job! She's so cute!

I will try and keep updating my blog! I still haven't figured out why it won't let anyone comment. So that stinks but at least those of you interested can read it! Have a great day! :)
