A few pics of my "wild cats" and Jedi night on Halloween!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

These little kitty cats are all tuckered out!

A DREAM COME TRUE!

Attending the World Series is one of Chad's life long dreams (along with every other major sporting event) so there was no way he was turning down his brother when he invited him to go to the game. Despite the fact that the Rockies didn't win, Chad still had the best time and Dresden LOVED playing with all his cousins in Colorado.

Matchy, Matchy ...

Chad does not think twins should wear matching outfits, but that takes all the fun out of having twins! This is about as "matchy" as we get - they are pretty darn cute!

Chuck E Cheese!

We celebrated Dresden's Birthday over the weekend while family was in town, but we still wanted to take him to do something fun on his actual Birthday, so we invited a few friends for a fun night a t Chuck E. Cheese's! Kids can't get enough of this place, here is Dresden with one of his favorite friends Savannah in the car.

Twins Baby Blessing

Twins Baby Blessing We were lucky to have family in town for Coen and Ciena's Blessing. My mom, Sister (Julie) and her family, and Chad's parents were all here to share the special day with us!

Happy Birthday Dresden!

Although it is a couple of days early, we decided to celebrate Dresden's 3rd Birthday while we had Family in town to celebrate with us!

3 months...

We made it to the three month mark! Part of me can't believe how fast it's gone, on the other hand I feel like I've been waiting to reach this mile stone forever! Everyone has told me that with twins it gets easier once you hit 3 months. Well, so far there has been no drastic change -- there are still two babies to change, feed, and try to get to nap and sleep through the night! I do feel like I'm learning how to do it all better with time! Below are some common thoughts I've had during these first three months...

1. I don't remember Dresden crying this much... No, he definitely did not cry like this.

2. I can't believe another 3 hours has gone by and it's time to feed these babies again.

3. I may have to get a part time job (or step up Modbe) just to pay for all the diapers! And honestly, yes, it would be so much easier to give the babies formula but from a financial standpoint I better keep nursing!

4. When will the babies start sleeping longer than 3 hour stretches at night! I am beginning to think my eyes will be permanently blood shot from the lack of sleep!

5. Is it time for Chad to come home from work yet?

6. Who's crying now? Oh yes, I forget I have a 3 year old who also needs some attention.

7. I can't believe 2 babies came out of me!

8. Could these babies be any cuter? Their smiles melt my heart.

9. I definitely could not do this without the help of family and friends

10. Chad is amazing, I am so lucky! I don't know how he can be up all night with the babies and still work the hours he does!

11. I can't believe it's been three months and people in the ward are still bringing me meals over and offering to take Dre - we have such amazing friends in Dallas!

12. I am SO blessed!!

The ZOO!

On Saturday we took our first mini trip to the Ft. Worth Zoo! We went with some friends and had a great time. The twins were really good (thank goodness for Baby Bjorn's) and Dresden had a blast. Dresden's favorite was the snakes -- he is really into snakes lately and I have no idea why?? Maybe that's what Grandma can get him for his birthday -- a FAKE one, of course!

The twins take a break and chill in the stroller while we eat lunch

TEXAS STATE FAIR

On Friday night some friends invited us to go with them to the opening night of the Texas State Fair and we decided to brave it with the twins! Chad and I each strapped a baby on (in the Bjorn) and we were off! It was a fun night and I especially loved the food -- corn dogs, funnel cake, fried cookie dough (a first this year) -- YUM!

TWINNERS

The babies are getting big and becoming lots more interactive, which is fun! Coen is outweighing his sister at 11 lbs. and Ciena is just 9 lbs. They are smiling all the time and Coen has recently started to suck his thumb.

BUBBLE BOY!

My BIG Boy!

I can't believe how big Dresden has gotten! He seems to have grown up a ton just since the twins were born. Today was his first day of Pre-school and he was so excited. When we got there it was a little crazy and all the kids were crying. I could tell Dre was nervous, he was holding on to my hand tightly. I told him if he didn't cry I would bring him a "surprise" when I came back and he nodded his head. I then kissed him and walked out the door - it was so hard to not look back at him! A minute later I peeked inside the window and he was playing in the sandbox with his friend, Benton, so that made me feel better! He is such a good boy, I don't know how I lucked out with him!

The Twins at 7 weeks!
