Blah, blah

The kids are obsessed with climbing on the couch. Ezra is apparently
very bored here though.


Hanging out at dads show.

Another one of there favorite things to do.
They are extremely active little kiddos these days. We've all
loved having Tyler home this Summer and I'm already dreading
his return to work. Not sure how i'm going to manage the park by myself
with them. They drive me crazy but I love them to death.

Please come soon Spring!

I haven't updated this blog in awhile and the kids are sort of napping right now and by sort of I mean they are in their beds but I can still hear them talking. Anyway I thought it was a good time to put down some words for once on this thing.

It's been quite a long winter this year and I've had the winter blues lately, feeling lonely trapped in my house all day. Last winter was harder in many ways, namely not getting any sleep, feeling so out of shape that I couldn't even sweep the floor without getting tired and just not having any other time to do anything but take care of twins. I've had a little more time this winter to workout and keep the house up, but I've kind of been a hermit in my own home. Honestly there are times when I don't even walk out of my house for days. I know that I need to find some hobbies so that I don't end up feeling this way every winter but I'm the kind of person who gets really into something for a little while and then gets bored and moves on to something else never really getting great at anything. Ezra and Zoe got RSV a couple weeks ago and that was quite a challenge. The only thing that I really enjoyed through it all was that fact that Ezra wanted to cuddle all day. There is something about a little one resting their head on your shoulder that just makes you feel so special. I'm glad we are past that and hoping we can avoid any more sickness through Spring. I don't normally complain on this blog but I just figured that someday I can look back on this and appreciate all the things I learned from being a mom.

Since I've been cooped up most of the winter I've gotten kind of addicted to certain t.v. shows. Don't make fun but recently it's been 'Vampire Diaries' and I just finished the fourth season of 'Friday Night Lights'. I loved Friday Night Lights! I thought it was all about football so I was never really interested but there is actually lots drama and romance, which I can never get enough of on television:) The first four seasons are on Netflix so my poor laptop has gotten a workout the past few weeks. See what I mean though, I need hobbies other than getting SO into a television show that I forget about my own life.

I started a new workout recently that I've been able to stick to for the past few weeks. Tyler and I order the Power 90 workout videos and I'm going to do it for the 90 days and then hopefully be in good enough shape to do P90X. We shall see....

I haven't loaded any of the new photos I've taken of the kids yet so no photos this time but soon perhaps. It's a lot harder to take pictures of them lately because they won't sit still unless they are eating or sleeping.

Sorry about all of the complaining on this post, and happy soon to be Spring everyone!!

Happy 1st Birthday!

Grandma Bobbie gave them these animals. I can't believe they
didn't notice and just kept them on. So cute!

Not into it!

I covered these party hats in hot pink and blue felt.
I just wish they would have kept them on.

The food.

He loved it!

Ezra was such a ham for everyone watching. I was so surprised
cause he screams whenever he's held by anyone but me or Tyler. (and uncle Andy)



The twins had their first birthday on the 14th of January, so we threw a party on the 15th to celebrate. I can't believe it's already been a year since these two joined us. It was such a scary time a year ago not knowing if they were going to be okay coming over five weeks early. They are happy healthy 1 year olds and I'm sooo stinkin grateful that they made it to us. We are so blessed to have them and I love them to death. I never thought I would be such a teary eyed mom, but just writing this I'm getting a bit watery eyed thinking about them and what it took to get them here safely. I would go through all the bed rest again to have them here. Thanks to everyone who helped us make it through the first year. There were a lot of tears and not just from from the twins:)
