My babes are 4 Months!

We went to our ward Halloween party Saturday. Kamers was at gradma Preece's.
Ladybug and Turtle!

My little Daxers is such a HAPPY baby! He is so easy going and so chill. He is so patient and always smiling.

Alexis loves the camera! She is getting so vocal. when you talk to her she makes sounds and you can tell she wants to talk back so bad! She is stubborn and a little intense...just like her older sister :) She sure has a pretty smile!!



So my babies turned four months yesterday. They went to their checkups today and here are their stats:

Dax- 14 lbs and 23.7 inches (45%)
Alexis- 12.5 pounds and 24 inches (35%)

Yeah! They finally made the charts! I thought that Dax would have weighed more, he is such a chunk! There is alot of him to love! He has some healthy thighs and Alexis is pretty petite but still growing! I can't believe they are already four months. It goes by way to fast!

Six down, Eternity to go!!

<

So tomorrow is our six year anniversary! I can't believe it has already been six years. Time goes by so fast. It's funny...when you get married I think you have unrealistic views of how "the marriage" should be... at least I did. I thought that just because I married a returned missionary, got married in the temple, did everything the way I should that we would live happily ever after and our life would be perfect.......not that easy! People don't tell you that it is HARD and a lot of WORK. We have been through so much but it is so WORTH IT! I honestly have the best husband in the world. We met up at pineview. I was there with my roommates and he came running through the sand and jumped on my towel and started talking to me. We hung out for a few hours, went out that night, and the next, and the night after that...and a little over a year later got married in the Bountiful Temple. He has got to be the funniest person I know. Seriously, the things that come out of that man's mouth. He also has such a big heart. He will do anything for anyone. I am so lucky to have him as my husband. When I was on bed rest for those three months I got to see him in a different light. Not only did he go to work all day but he came home and did dishes, laundry, bathed Kamryn, cleaned the house, went grocery shopping, pretty much did everything and NEVER COMPLAINED. Honey, I love you and adore you. Thanks for being the best hubby ever! Happy Anniversary!!

Quirky Me!

So I was tagged my Marcie...

1. I am OBSESSED with clean baseboards. I don't know what it is but I have to have clean baseboards. I have tried to let it go but I can't. I clean them a few times a week. If I can't get them all the way clean then I will repaint them. When I was on bed rest and had to look at them every day and couldn't do anything about it I about had a nervous break down. Ask my husband :)

2. I love huge snakes but am terrified of the tiniest spider. I actually want a big yellow python but Travis told me he would get a pet trianchula so I have come to terms that it will never happen.

3. I check to see if my curling iron is on and if my garage it shut SEVERAL times a day. Whenever Trav and I go anywhere and we are driving out of the neighborhood I usually make him turn around so I can check to see if I left my curling iron on. Yes, I have been miles away from my house and still turned around. (It has never been on and the garage has never been open by the way) My neighbor even has a key to my house and I have called her also to check. Am I a freak or what?!

4. I hardly ever read but when I do I have to read the entire book that night. I can't put it down. I read all of the twilight series in a week.

5. I eat a pb&J sandwich every day for lunch. That's all that ever really sounds good and I am to lazy to make anything else I guess.

6. I shop online but hardly ever "check out". Yes, I am a recovering shopaholic and so it makes me feel better to get online and put a bunch of stuff I want in my cart but I can finally control it and just leave it in the cart.

7. I love to pick skin and scabs. I know it is disgusting. I love in the summer time when I peel a little and get to pick off big chunks of skin. Travis gets mad at me because I do it a little bit to the babies right now (the cradle cap thing drives me insane).

8. I can't look in the mirrors at night. I don't know why but it freaks me out. I think I am going to see something behind me or something scary in the mirror. I think it stems from when I was a little girl and used to do the "bloody Mary" thing in the mirror with my friends. Did anyone else do that?!

So there you have it...am I a weirdo or what?!

Baby Blessings!!

Sunday we blessed Dax and Alexis. They were such angels and didn't make a peep through the blessing or meeting. Kamryn on the other hand....she was a handful. Trav and I are so blessed that the twins are here and healthy. They bring such a sweet spirit into our homes. Babies truly are such a blessing. I love the saying "You are everything I never knew I always wanted". That is how I feel about my kids. I always knew that some day I would want to have kids but I wasn't the type that wanted to get married and start a family right away. Kids actually scared me. I was never really around babies so I was scared I would be a bad mom and would not know what to do with them :) I know, it sounds funny. But...I could not imagine my life without them. They bring us so much joy and happiness. The love you have for them is so powerful. They truly are little gifts from heaven!!

Jumped on the bandwagon!

So.....I finally did it and created a blog. I don't know how good I will be at updating it since my family just tripled in size but I will give it a try!
