BIG improvement!

Brett and I have been married 11 years now and we finally decided to buy some furniture. The only furniture we have ever purchased has come from yard sales. It has looked like we are either moving in or out for the past 2 years. There is nothing hanging on our walls and several rooms have no furniture in them! This is what our wall looked like before. That is one small tv on one giant wall! Yep-that is the tv we had in college. It is the TV we got at a Wal-mart Black Friday event. Kelsi was with us and went running to the back of the store to make sure we got one! It was a BIG purchase for us back then and we have been a little sad to see it go. Also, the table it is sitting on provided hours of entertainment for the girls when they were babies. They used to lay under it and giggle together. We can't get rid of it yet-too many memories!

This is what it looks like now-Big improvement.

Thanks Dad for hauling it and your trailer all the way from Vegas for us. We appreciate you so much. Also,  thanks Powell, Jess, Mom, and Stef for painting the wall for me. It would not have been done without you. 

Sydney wants to say something

We aren't sure what she is trying to tell us but it sure is cute!

Big D rolls over

I didn't get a video of him doing it but I did get one of him trying really hard! 

He rolled from back to belly on 10-11-11.

P.S. We all call him Big D. All of the time. I hope he doesn't have a complex later in life because of it. He is just such a big guy and we LOVE it. When M & S were little they were SO small for so long and we celebrated every ounce they gained. I remember thinking how fun it would be to have a BIG Chubby baby. I wouldn't say he is Fat-just big. He has very long arms, fingers, and toes. He is super tall. He has dimples in his elbows that I could eat. We all love him so much!

Nursery

Here are some pictures of the baby nursery. A big thanks to Richard & Laurel for helping me pick out paint, to my mom for making the super cute curtains, and to Kelsi for helping me get it all hung up and finished.
Almost Done! Just a few pictures to hang.

I can't wait for them to be sleeping through the night so they can move into their new room!

When you are hungry enough...

...even your sister can taste good!

 Dalton eating Syd: August 2011

Another Deja Vu moment:

Saige eating Madi-January 2005. 

Saige=Monkey

 When Rachel was here, Brett took everyone to the beach. Saige found this rope and decided she wanted to try to climb it. Brett said she went up and down it 4 times. She is SO strong! Brett had to do it after she did. He said it was hard and it was really high at the top. He said that all of the big guys that were down there working out on the beach watched Saige with amazement!

Blessing Day-Sept. 4

We had a very nice Blessing Day for the twins. We were able to have so many friends and family there to support us. We are so lucky.

 Brett was able to bless Beau and Maggie's baby (Jack) that same day as well. I game him a hard time about keeping all of the names straight. I told him that I did not want to come home from church with a little girl named Jack! He did a great job on all 3.

 There was lots of food. LOTS. Thanks to everyone who helped make that meal happen.

 We have the best friends in all of the world! LOVE THEM.

 We love the Hubbles-they are the BEST neighbors!

 LOTS of fun!

 Beautiful Baby

She is wearing the same dress I wore to be blessed in.

 Such a cute boy!
