Black Friday

For the first time in a long time I did not go shopping on Black Friday. It seems like the kick-off for Christmas to me. I sent Josh, Jordan, and Kylee out to Walmart for a Hannah Montana barbie. I sent my dad to target. I slept in and Josh was home before Cassady and I even got up. I will look forward to going next year. I will need too with 2 more to buy for. I know I have 25 days until Christmas but I plan to do a lot of shopping on line. I better get started!

My big ultrasound is tomorrow! We are all so excited! Cassady can't wait to see the babies. I thought it might be hard to explain how she would see them, but it is just like her echo-cardiograms she get every year for her heart, so I think she knows more what to expect than Kylee does. Wish us luck that we will have babies that will want to show-off their private parts. Keep your fingers crossed for at least one boy!

Primary Program

Cassady did her first Primary Program last Sunday. She had a huge part, she memorized so well! "Be Baptized". She got up there confidently and said it and quickly left. She was so cute singing, standing as tall as she could so everyone could see her. She listens to her CD of the primary Program songs all the time, so she was proud to know almost all the words. Including the words to "Called to Serve" We were proud.
She slept the night before in sponge curlers and it made her hair so curly. She loved all those curly curlys! Isn't she so cute!!!

16 week Dr. Appointment

Not a big fan of the tummy pics, but this is 16 weeks and I am scared for 37 weeks

I went to the Dr again today. I don't have to worry about not gaining enough weight anymore. I gained 14 pounds in the last 4 weeks. the nurse weighed me and I got off the scale and she went to write down my weight, she asked me to get back on and just check my weight to see if that is right. It was. Dr. Fowers said I am almost half way there and have not yet gained half the weight I am suppose to. I was just playing catch up and am were I am suppose to be. I don't think I will be posting my weight gain anymore.
I got to see my two little babies that actually look like babies now. Ones little skeleton face was so cute. Two strong heartbeat!! I am feeling movement from both babies every once in awhile. I am feeling and looking really pregnant. The guy at 7-11 asked me the other day if I was almost done. He seemed embarrassed when I said, no not till April. I asked this girl the other day who was a little bigger than me when she was due. She was due in 2 weeks!
I made my appointment for the Ultrasound that will tell us what the sex of the babies are. We will finally know in 3 weeks!! I also made an appointment with a high-risk OB. He is in Ogden, But, he comes up to Logan twice a month. I don't know why Logan doesn't have any specialty doctors. This is just a common appointment for twins and as long as there are no problems I can continue to see Dr. Fowers.
I am feeling a little better. I am going longer in between the medication. I only throw up in the mornings before I can get the medication in me. I have really good days, but they are usually followed by a really bad day. I have turned into a germ-o-phob. I don't want to get sick on top of being pregnant sick. I avoided close contact with Cassady for a few days after she threw up. Thanks goodness it was on a weekend and Josh was home.

Merry Thanksmas

All the grand kids in a Nativity picture for Grandma's Christmas cards. Jordan and Kylee were angels, Cassady Noah, and Hayden are Wise men and of coarse one wise queen (Cassady is not a man) , Micheal, Katie and Fiona as Shepard's, Ellie as Mary, and Baby Zina as Baby Jesus. It turned out so cute.


Josh's Brother Ben came home from his mission last week. Josh's other brother Seth and his wife, Jen and their 3 kids, Micheal, Katie, and Fiona came out from Maryland to see him. His Family decided they wanted to have a Thanksgiving and Christmas celebration with all the family. It had been a very long time since we had done that. We asked everyone to come up to Logan so I didn't have to travel. So we had Thanksgiving dinner and opened Christmas presents. We found enough room for 26 people to eat.

The twins gift from my sister in law. They will be the cutest "THINGS" next Halloween! Thanks Aunt Sarah

We got to meet Fiona for the first time. She is adorable!

Katie,Ellie,Micheal, and Cassady patiently waiting for presents.

Happy Halloween

This year for Halloween was a little different at our house. Jordan and Kylee went to a party! They had a good time, but it made me feel old. Josh had to take Cassady trick-or-treating. I usually go out while he watches TV with his boss. I think he had a good time. I told him it was not fair I usually have to go in freezing cold weather and this year it was so nice (jacket weather). The girls gave out candy until they left for there party. I then turned out all the lights inside and out and went to my room and closed the door. I watched TV the rest of the evening in bed like I do every night.

Cassady was Hannah Montana. This was the 6th time she had dressed up this week and by then She and I were over the rock star look and it became very understated. She was sick of the wig. She had a microphone that lit up and played a part of a Hannah Montana song. She had a whole dance show that went along with it. She was a Superstar!!

Kylee was a very mild vampire with a cape and teeth, she took out after the picture. She danced the monster mash at her party! Wait to go Ky!

Jordan in the middle with her friends Ashley and Morgan. I am not sure what they were, they just raided the dress-ups. Jordan and Ashley put on fake nails the day the before and Jordan could not do anything with them on. It was pretty funny. Especially when she couldn't unbutton her pants to use the bathroom. Some how she got them off the next day.

The lone tricker-treater!

Cassady with her loot!

Pumpkin Carving

We grew our pumpkins this year in our garden. We grew 7 of them, which is how many we need for next year, but this year we shared, since we only needed 4. I didn't do one this year the smell of them was hard for me. I am usually the one who ends up cleaning all the pumpkin guts out and roasting seeds. this year the girls had to do them by themselves. We saved a few seeds to plant next year, but threw the rest away. No one was willing to pick through pumpkin guts to get all the seeds. This is Cassady and her scary pumpkin.

Cassady thought it was pretty disgusting pulling all that slimy stuff out.

Look mom Guts!
