Yumm-O

Mommy made a new dinner for us....

Italian Goulash......Can you tell we liked it???

We also got Blueberries for dessert!

Nothing Sweeter

There is nothing sweeter than watching a baby sleep..... Hannah and Megan were always arm in arm when they were little...definitely two peas in a pod.

Now they sleep in their own beds, and there is nothing sweeter than walking into their room and finind this!

Memories

So I saw this on someone else's blog, and thought it was cute, but kinda cheesy. Well the more I thought about it, the more I started thinking about memories I have with my friends and family that I would want to comment about on their blogs. So I am doing this post not because I want you to leave memories of me, but so that hopefully you will post this on your blog, and I can leave memories of you!! Thanks!!

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn’t matter if you knew me a little or a lot, if we’ve actually met in person or not, anything you remember!2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you

Gotta Love Medicine....

This last week has been very trying. Both girls have gotton really sick, and it has been not alot of sleeping. At first I thought they were teething, as you would think for 10 month olds they would have at least one tooth....but when their fevers reached 103.5 I knew there was something more.
We headed out to the doc's office on Tuesday, and poor Megan has an ear infection and throat infection and Hannah has an upper respiratory infection that got treated because the doc thought it could settle into pneumonia.

Poor girls.....


But after 3 days of antibiotics we are getting smiles back and they are talking and acting more like their happy selves.

YAY...gotta love medicine sometimes!

Sleepy

How is it that a baby can be up all night screaming....until 4:30 in the morning, then sleep for 5 hours and wake up happy like nothing happened. Where me, I am awake until 4:30 in the morning, wake up again at 6:00 in the morning for the other baby...and can barely function.....

Happy Anniversary

It has been 4 wonderful years since I uttered those simple word, "I Do" that meant more than the simplicity of it all. Rich has shown me what it is to be loved and feel loved. He has stuck by me through the thick and the thin. He has supported me when I wanted to change grade levels while teaching, he held me when we lost our first pregnancy, and now he has shown me what a great father he is when we were blessed with twins. For this I say, I love you babe....it has been a wonderful 4 years so far, and I am blessed to have you and blessed that we are able to write a story together. I am looking forward to more of the chapters being written as more years pass!

I love you!

Hard Job.....found in disgust....

Yuck....I went to sweep the kitchen floor, as the girls are starting to get more mobile.....I saw what I thought was pepper spilled on my floor, boy was I wrong! I swept my "pepper" for it to only come alive and start moving around....ewww.....I have bugs...back to the kitchen I go, hopefully I can find the source of the bugs or I am calling Clarks!

Working out!

We as many of you know, I am a dancer. I have been dancing since I was 3 years old, at the Grange there in Arvada. THen when I moved to California I began dancing at Terry Clark Dance. Well, I have been dancing for a greater part of my life 29 years to be exact....

Anyways, every MOnday night, I have a tap class that I take the girls to. Usually they sit so quietly and circle their ankles and fuss when we all stop tapping. Well, Not tonight.

Megan had nothing to do with sitting in the stroller and playing. So I had to hold her for the entire hour. One full hour of tapping with a 15 pound baby on your hip....I must say it was quite a work out for me, but for Meg? Well she was all smiles and giggles and just "wowed" every turn, tap and sound.....

Too funny!

New Beginnings

I have been thinking recently about how life makes many twists and turns, and how life can go by so fast that you really don't know what to make of it. I have been having an empty feeling inside, and realized what it was.....I had taken my life away from God, I used to attend bible studies and sunday service, and read the bible...I always gave my problems to God and asked for guidance....then in 2006 things changed. I got angry with him for taking my ^baby^ away from me. I was in a sprial downfall and felt that he took my baby from me.....then In 2007 I got pregnant again. My feelings towards God changed and I begged for forgiveness and to take me back again.

Now that I am in a new routine, and new life and realizing that I can't control everything in my life...I pledge to God and to all my friends....I am making a new beginning....I am praying for your happiness, and for a fulfilled life. I pray that each and every one of us celebrate successes big and small, and we share our lives with a greater being......I pray that we all seek the help we need and pray that we don't take anything for granted. Life is fragile, Life is small....we can make it better if we believe and work with our own strengths.

Thoughts

ok,so it has been a while since coming back to the blog...so many things are happening right now....for a while it felt as though it were spinning out of control. now, i really think things are falling back into place...but boy was i lonely.
I have had to give alot to God this last week, and realize that for piece of mind I can not fix everything, nor do I have control of everything. I have to ask for guidance and peace, or i am liable to have a nervous breakdown.

with that out....

here is our happenings....

We have had such a busy couple of weeks, and doesn't seem to be ending soon. We had a visit from Aunt D'Anna, Uncle John and Cousins Courtney and Jason...boy were they fun. Grandma and Grandpa were here too...we took family pictures (will be posted soon)
After that Poppy Walbridge has come to visit...next weekend we are going to visit our Great Grandma Veras....then we will have some down time.

WE are trying to get on our knees and are army crawling around the room.

For the fourth, we went to my sister's house for a BBQ and fireworks. The girls loved it, especially since we did NOT have any piccolo pete's.....hopefully next year they like it just as much.
