Happy Anniversary!

Wow, I can hardly believe it has been six years~ Happy Anniversary Baby! I think anyone who has heard our story knows that Chad and I were destined to be together! I am so very lucky to have such a wonderful husband who works so hard for our family and is the BEST dad! It may sound cheesy, but I still get butterflies around my husband, I am still infatuated with him and even more in love with him than I was on our wedding day! I LOVE YOU Chad!

Thanksgiving Day

The cutie "pies"

Dresden and his cousin Katie

Cousins ~ Coen is obviously not happy about being in the picture and Isaac is looking at him and probably wondering what his problem is!

We spent Thanksgiving with friends at the Hinze home. Although we missed being with family, we could not ask for better friends to spend this Holiday with! Thank you Jen for all the thought and work you put into making it a great Thanksgiving Day!
The next day Chad's brother Adam and his family came to stay with us ~ it was great to see them and Dresden always has the best time with his cousins!

Cute enough to EAT!

I love this age, the twins are getting to an age where they interact more with us and eachother. They smile and goo at us a ton and they especially love it when they are together. Coen seems to always want to eat Ciena, the other day he grabbed her dress and was sucking on it and in the picture above you can see as soon as her head got near him he turned right away and started to suck!

SMILE!

I swear these two are the smiliest babies, I love it!

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!!
