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! :)

Start of 2010!

Well I have been slacking again! But here it goes!

We are so excited for 2010! In December we found out we are having twin (identical) boys! I am 23 weeks and due on May 23rd but Dr Tindall says we will schedule the C-section for 37 weeks! So most likely I will have these babies in April! It is going to come so fast! I am thinking my mom is going to put a baby shower on for me in March for those of you interested! I go to my doctor again on Feb 12Th and we get another ultra sound. We get an ultra sound every 4 weeks to make sure they are growing right and one isn't stealing "food" from the other! After that appt I will start going every 2 weeks! I am excited to have Tindall as my doctor as I have heard many good things about him! I have seen him once and that was a good visit! He has 9 people including me that are pregnant with twins and he delivered 2 other people in the last couple of months! It is so crazy!

Baby A

Baby B

22 weeks

Madason is growing so fast! She is quite the little talker and has quite the personality! She is super smart! She loves to listen to music and dance (I don't know where she gets that from!!!! for those of you who know my Mom and Dad get that!) She got a pretty nasty cough this year but I think it is getting better so we can just hope it goes away and we all can get better! Can't wait for the summer! I think she had a really fun Christmas! Its so cute to ask her "what's in mommy's belly?!" as she normally replies "baby brothers!" Its so cute! She absolutely loves the snow! Nathan was off this last Friday and got to spend the day with her and he let her go out and play in it for a while! She loves to eat the snow too! I can't believe she will be 2 already in May! Def. will have my hands full this year!

Christmas Morning



Her cute outfit that her Great Aunt Pam gave her for Christmas

Nathan has really enjoyed his new job! It is definitely a lot different from what he was used to for about 6 years! He has been working in Ganado re-wiring a hospital. Most of the time they will leave on Monday's and come home Thursday's.. He will sometimes have Friday's off and sometimes he will work! Other times he ends up working weird hours in the night! And he has has a couple unexpected days of due to holiday's that reservations celebrate or whatever, but I think it has been good for him! Its been a great opportunity for him and he's doing a great job! I know on the days off he is always trying to think of something to do! He can't wait for the weather to warm up so he can start working on the outside of our home! We have lots of plans and hope to get some of them accomplished this year! Some may be put on hold for a little while due to cost and having 2 more babies instead of just one!

I am excited to get our income tax this year so that I can take care of some of our debt and get ready for me being off work! I am most likely coming back to work at least until the beginning of next year due to the new insurance I got here at work that we are using for this pregnancy! So that will be a challenge in its self!

I will try and keep posting as the pregnancy goes and of course pics after!

New adventures!

Well yet again it has been a while! I am so horrible at keeping stuff posted! But in the last Month or so we have been pretty busy! We got our New home! SO exciting! So much to still do but its been so much fun to put our own touch on it! Nathan has done a wonderful job of cleaning up the outside (watering, weed wacking, mowing, ect!) Me on the other hand... I have just been lazy! I have got most of my kitchen put away I think but I still have a lot to accomplish! We have 4 trees outside, 2 apple and 2 cherry! Madason loves to play in the dirt and in the water around the trees! There are a couple pics below of the house and I will work on getting some more! We took a trip to Wilcox AZ with Nathans parents and left Madason with my Mom for a night! It was a lot of fun (other than all the driving!) but it is very pretty with all the hills and stuff. We went down to get some fence that one of Lyn's friends was giving to us so we made a fun trip out of it! I wish I would have got a few more pics but I am terrible at remembering to do that! We went 4 wheeler riding and just had a good time visiting!

Other news! Nathan is changing jobs on November 9th! We are pretty excited since he's been given a good job offer and he has not been happy with his current job! Its time for a change! It will be quite different with hours and for him a different work environment to adjust to but I know he can do it and will be wonderful!

As most of you know we also are expecting our 2nd child! Yes 2! Are we insane?! Haha just kidding. Madason has been a ton of fun! She is so amazing, smart, gorgeous, helpful, loving, happy, Sassy! We just love being parents and are so greatful for all the blessings we have been given! I do not know when I am due yet, we are waiting for new insurance at my work so we have about a month and a 1/2 to wait till I go to the doc but hopefully it will be worth the wait! {cause kids are expensive!}

Enjoy the pics and hopefully I will get better at posting! And maybe I can get my blog fixed one of these days where it will let people comment..

In Memory

In memory of my Grandpa Clair Larsen and Grandpa Hank Walker.

Saturday September 5, 2009 my Grandpa Clair Larsen passed away. (my Mom's step dad) That same day would have been my Grandma and Grandpa Walker's 50th anniversiary but as most of you know he passed away about 5 yrs ago. The memorial services turned out good. It was hard to watch my Grandma as you would imagine she was pretty upset. We have missed Grandpa Walker very much and were so blessed to have Grandpa Larsen with us for 2 yrs. He was a great man and made my Grandma very happy! They were getting ready to serve a mission to the LA temple, but the Lord had other plans for Clair. We miss you both greatly! We love you both and know you are in a better place and watching over us.

Just thought I would share that news with you all. I will get a couple pics up of them to show you how lucky we were to have 2 handsome - great Men (Grandpa's, Fathers, ect.) in our family!

Wedding/Pics/Life!

Oh My has it been a while since i've done a new post. I was on today looking at Saije's wonderful pics of Dammon and Lisa and figured I needed to do a new post finally! Lots has been going on (softball, Wedding, work, looking for a house, ect.) but sad to say softball is out for the rest of the season. Nathan landed on his hand wrong last night and we are not sure if he has broken it yet or not but we will know by tonight.. (his mom has takin him down to the hospital. We won't go any furthur on that convo!) ANYWAY! Looking for a house is kind of depressing because we have gotten excited a couple of times but nothing is found yet.. We are just keeping our fingers crossed and hoping our perfect home will fall in our path! Dammon and Lisa's wedding.. Turned out wonderful! My mother and aunts and grandma did wonderful. I am so greatful for Lisa's aunt that helped with the cake! It turned out perfect! It was a great night! Madason is just growing so fast. I can't believe how smart, beautiful, amazing this little girl is! Right now she loves shoes! loves to try everyones on and get hers out! Im kinda sad the summer is almost over but life goes on! The parades and boutiques were so fun (especially since it was madi's first parade to enjoy! She loved the fireworks also!) Well I will try to keep everyone updated! Pics below!
