Girls Weekend!!!

This weekend was so fun!! Friday my mom and Jerrika and Bailee came up to see us. On Saturday we went shopping and out to lunch with my sisters (Nikki, Shantel,& Jenny) and two of my nieces (Zoe and Ava). Poor Aiden was the only boy. We spent most of the day at Gardener Village and we ate lunch at Archabalds. It was so YUMMY!!! I decided that I wanted to BRIGHTEN UP our house a little. I got new dishes, kitchen rugs, hand towels, washcloths, and of course a few decorations. I also got us a new bedroom set- I wasn't able to find decorations for our room yet. It was so fun to be able to see everyone this weekend.

Here are a few pics of our weekend.

So Exciting!!!

Ok I can't believe I forgot to post this earlier!!! Before the babies were born we had started the temple prep class. Well we only got to go to one class and the next sunday our little miracles were born. We are not able to attend church beacause the babies can't be around people yet, so our dear friends Dave and Julie Trotter are going to start coming over every thursday and teach us the Temple prep class!!!! YAY!!! Also exciting news--- They are going to start bringing the sacrement to our house!! We are so grateful for our wonderful bishop and ward!! They have been so great to us. We love all of them!!!

Finally Pictures!!!

My two sleepy boys.

He is always so happy.

Addi fell asleep in the Bumbo seat.

We have had quite an eventful week. This past friday we took the babies to get their RSV shots for this month. It is so sad to hear them cry. They are so brave. Aiden weighed 14 lbs 8 oz. Addi weighed 12lbs 4 oz. After they were weighed we went and waited in the room. The nurse came in and asked us if Aiden really gained 3lbs in a month, apparently he DID!! Wow!! What a little Chunky Monkey!!! On saturday Brady's parents and little sisters came up. We made stuffed french toast YUMMY!! That night me and Brady were able to go out to dinner and a movie. We went to dinner at Joe's Crab Shack- it was fantastic. After dinner we went and saw I love you man. It was so funny. Then we went to Chilies and ate dessert. We went back to the movie theater and watched The Last House on the Left. Sunday was a lazy day. We just hung out with the fam and relaxed. The babies have been doing awesome!!! They are sleeping in their own cribs now. That is exciting but the bad thing is that Brady and I have to sleep on the floor in their room. Aiden has come down a little on his oxygen. He is now on 1/16 liter per min instead of 1/8!! YAY!! What a big boy!! Addi's oxygen is still the same (1/32 liter per min) she is still struggling with eating. She isn't even interested. We had a feeding specialst come to the house yesterday so hopefully things will start to look up. Brady has guard this weekend and he will be going out of town so my mom and hopefully Jerrika and Bailee will be coming up on friday to hang out.

Weekend at grandma's

Gosh sorry I have been such a slacker at blogging, we have had alot going on. This past weekend we were able to go down to Monroe and visit our families. On friday we were able to go and watch Brady's little sister Jerrika at prom. She looked BEAUTIFUL!!! Saturday me and my mom took Brady's sisters, Jerrika and Bailee to watch south sevier's prom. We stayed a little later than we usually do on sudays because we got to watch Twilight at my parents house. We finally got home last night at about 7:30 and our power was OUT!!! It turned on and off for about an hour then it went off for good. With all of the babies equipment we have to have power!!! So we threw all of our bags back into the car and went to a hotel. Brady still had to be to work at 6 this morning so me and the babies stayed at the hotel until around noon when Brady came and got us. It was a fun little adventure.

Help Prevent Prematurity

Addison

Aiden

Hey guys, I'm sure that everyone knows that our twins Aiden and Addison were micropreemies. At the NBICU the March of Dimes was a huge support system for us. After our experience and seeing how willing the March of Dimes was to support us, we feel that is it only right to give back. On Saturday May 16 there will be a March of Dimes fundraiser walk. It starts 1.5 miles up Provo canyon and the walk is 3 miles long. It is because of these fundraiser that the March of Dimes is able to provide education and support to families like ours. If anyone is interested in walking with our family please let us know. Thanks!!

Out On The Town!!

Today was a great day! This morning I was able to go and get a massage!!! It felt wonderful!!! Then Brady and I decided that we needed to get out of the house, so off we went. We took the babies to USA Baby and we bought a double jogging stroller!! Yeah!!! It was on sale - how can ya beat that? Then we just walked around to some of the stores- Bed, Bath & Beyond, Famous Footwear, etc. It was so great to get out of the house for the day. Hopefully it will warm up so we can go for walks. Maybe tomorrow Brady will put some pics on here so everyone can see how big the babies are getting!!!

Another long day

Well today has been just another long uneventful day. But I can't complain, it's better than having an exciting day at another hospital. This week Brady started working an extra two hours a night, just so he can save up comp time for when he goes and plays army man. So this means that me and the kiddos are by ourselves until about 7 o'clock at night. Man we sure do wish grandma was here to entertain us. Aiden and Addi are doing great today. They have been playing together under their toy for a while now-that's pretty impressive since they really don't like to be next to each other.Addi has been kind of crabby lately but I think she might be getting teeth soon. She has been so slobbery! I can't believe how big they are getting. My mom was up here last weekend and we took the babies shopping, they are already getting into the 3-6 month clothes CRAZY!!! They are almost 8 months old and they are both close to 13 lbs!! I know that most people think that that is still little but to us they are getting huge. I will post some pics as soon as figure out how to do it.

Little Miracles!

Okay so I'm going to try this whole blogging thing. I wasn't very good at writing on the twins blog when they were in the hospital so hopefully I will be better at this. Alot has gone on in the past 8 months. Aiden and Addi were born on July 20, 2008. They were born at 24 weeks gestation (scary!!) Aiden weighed 1 lb 6 oz and Addi weighed 1lb 3 oz they were both only about 12 inches long. During their hospital say they both had their ups and downs but they are doing great now. Aiden came home on oxygen and with a g-tube (feeding tube) on November 28, 2008. Addi also came home with oxygen and a g-tube on December 18, 2008. Aiden eats like a champ now but Addi still struggles. Everything has been going great since the babies came home. Aiden has been back in Primary's twice but luckily he didn't have RSV so he only had to stay over night both times. We are so lucky to have these beautiful little miracles in our lives. I don't know what we would do without them.
