Is it winter again?

Riding on mommy!!


What is with this weather? Snow in Spring? I already packed up all of the girls winter clothes but had to dig them out again this weekend. I love snow but I am ready for spring. Kameryn asked me yesterday if this means santa is going to come soon. I feel bad but its hard to explain that christmas is over when there is snow.

Madalynn and Makenzie are doing great! We are moving them to their rooms. They are ready me not so much. I will enjoy having my room back but I will miss them and having them right there if one of them woke up. But it is for the best! I think Maddie is getting close to crawling. She was getting up on her knees a lot today. I am excited but then I wonder am I ready for 3 Mobile kids? Guess I have to be :)

Kameryn is doing great too. I went to her parent teacher conferences on thursday and was nervous It felt like a job interview. I know how my child is but you never know how they are when you are not around. Everything went great! The teacher said she is doing really good. I am so proud. I have been worried about how she is playing with other kids because she tells me that she plays by herself. Her teacher told me that Kameryn has lots of friends and a lot of the kids like her. That made me really happy. I alway worry because Kam is so good at playing by herself and I didn't know how other kids with sibling closer in age do. We also got bad news on wednesday last week. They are not going to be able to fix Kams tooth. She gets to go 2+ years toothless. I took this really hard because I miss her baby smile. I was supposed to get a few more years of it so I feel robbed but I am coming around. How she lost it was a total accident and I tried to feel guilty about it but I can't. She feel that the doctors office while I was waiting for the nurses to give her sisters shots and it happened quickly... I wish I could prevent every fall she ever has but anyone with kids know that they are so active and experimental that they do sometimes fall and thats ok... I miss her tooth but I get to look forward to a new tooth coming in when every it decides to do so..

Richard and I are doing great! I have been super busy. I think that is the hardest thing on me. I don't think having twins is hard, I just think having kids in general takes work and it has been a huge adjustment. I have decided that I will not be going back to school in the fall. I have an associates degree and was planning on going to start my teaching program in the fall but I can not even imagine that I have time to do it. My nights are crazy and I don't think they will get any better until the girls are done with the bottles. I am home with them until they go to kindergarten so it really doesn't make that big of a deal. I am not upset in anyway. I do not take the girls back at all and know that of all my dreams/hopes in life being a mother is above all of them. I am a mother first and have to do things that work for my family. I know that I will go back and I am excited but making sure my daughters get the care and love they deserve to me is far above that. No feeling or accomplishment can ever take over the feeling I get when Kameryn hugs me or Madalynn and Makenzie smile or laugh at me. That is just an amazing feeling :) For those of you curious. I will go back when the girls are older :)

Growing and Changing!

Maddies foot is on the left. Look at the difference.
Kameryn fell asleep sitting up!


Maddie and Kenzie playing on gym mat.


How cute!!

I can not believe how much the girls are growing. Maddie and Kenzie are now rolling all ways!!! Maddie is sitting up for a little while by her self which is really cool. I think the bumbo seats have a lot to do with that. Note to moms.... bumbo seat = awesome They are also talking like crazy (obviously its their own language still) but it is crazy how much they want to talk to us. Kameryn is doing great! She has been enjoying school... She has also been amazing Richard and myself with how her personality develops.

Maddie and Kenzie started cereal. At first Maddie did not take to it very well. She is now after a week starting to eat it and not spit it out. Makenzie on the other hand loves it and has from day one. We will see how they are when we start jar food at 6 months.

Richard has been working like crazy. Work has really picked up for them. Sometimes I hate that he is the only one who knows how to do his job at his office but I guess it gives him job stablity.

Its been way too long












Wow! Things got really busy around here for a while!

The girls are doing great! One the same day Madalynn and Makenzie rolled over from tummy to back and Kameryn wrote her name. That day was very good! I was so proud to be a mommy that day. Madalynn and Makenzie are growing so quickly. I can not believe that they are going to be 4 months on thursday. Their personalities are developing so much. They are so different. I can not imagine what life was like before them. They both now have acid reflux. It will be nice when the spitting up is all over but we still have a ways to go. The girls are doing really well with practicing sitting up and are wanting to crawl so bad. I think this will happen real soon! I am axious to see what the girls weigh on thursday. Maddie is so much taller than Kenzie so it makes Kenzie look like mommys little chunky monkey. The other day I measured their feet and Maddies feet are huge compared to Kenzies.. I do not know where Maddie gets being tall from ;)


Kameryn is doing awesome. She finally gets her tooth fixed on Thursday. She is doing really good in school too. Richard and I are very proud of her. It is amazing how much she has grown too over the last year. Some how she has managed to grow up. Richard was out of town last week in Vegas for work and it was so hard on her. I really think Daddy is starting to grow on her. Him being gone was hard on me too. I never want to be a single mom and I am so blessed to have a husband that is so helpful! Kameryn makes us laugh so much with the things she says. Maybe sometimes we shouldn't laugh but she has such the attitude and it throws us off sometimes :)
My birthday was on the 20th of february. I had a good one. I don't know why but 25 was really hard for me this year. I guess I realized I am not in my early 20's anymore. Maybe this means 30 won't be so bad. Anyways I was glad to spend the day with my loving husband and my beautiful daughters. Hard to imagine that last year at that time I was about to start the fertility treatments that resulted in Mad and Kenz. Best decision we ever made :)
