Crazy but Wonderful

Thought I would post a few Pics of my darling baby boys.  Life is so so crazy.  I never could have imagine how crazy life could be.  But, at the same time we are so amazed that our Heavenly father Has entrusted us with these 4 perfect wonderful children.  Josh and Taylor are doing amazing with the babies.  Taylor is especially fond of his little babies.   Josh is the little helper and is ALWAYS asking what else he can do to help me or the babies.  They both get so upset if they ever arent with us.  I was so worried how it would be with Josh and Taylor when the babies got here.  But, watching them with their baby brothers just makes me more and more in love with them every day.  I am so so proud of the boys they are becoming.  The are such good little boys.  

  The past two months the babies have had RSV and 4 ear infections.  Its been real fun around here and lots of screaming can be heard coming from our house.   The babies will most likely have tubes by at least 6 months.  The doctors are hoping they can hold off on them until then.   For now they are just on antibiotics and have been for over 3 weeks. 

Nothing much is new around here.  We pretty much just survive every day.  But, the good thing is, we are surviving and thats all that matters. 

Brayden

Daxton- The other night lonnie was laying next to him in bed and Daxton latched onto his nose.  Lonnie did not appreciate me taking the photo opportunity but I told him it was a funny pic and to deal with it.

Daxton-  I love his two huge dimples

Daxton- He is smaller than Brayden by just a little bit but hes quite a bit shorter.  So, he looks a lot more chunky.  Hes all cheeks, just like Josh and Taylor were

Brayden-  He is our more quite one.  He definately cries loud but seems more calm than Daxton

Introducing Baby Daxton and Brayden

Daxton and Brayden arrived two weeks ago.  They are doing well and we are loving having two sweet spirits in our home.  I dont sleep much but I really didnt sleep at all when they were inside me. Daxton weighed 7.5 and Brayden weighed 6.15.   Josh and Taylor are doing amazing with them.  Almost a little too good.  They will never leave there side and are constantly in their faces.  Were not complaining though, we expected the exact opposite. 

Totally crazy first family picture.  Cant believe I have 4 children!!

Fall Festivities

We have been trying to get all the activities in that we can before the babies get here and were home bound.  The last couple of weeks we have been to Gardner Village to see and the witch displays and to the Pumkin Patch.  We've had a lot of fun.  And, yes, as you can tell im getting huge.  I hate to go in public anymore because people have NO problem telling me how huge I am.  I really cant believe some of the things people say. This old man told me the other day that it looked like I swallowed a giant basketball.  Oh well, I guess he's right.  4 more weeks until baby Brayden and Baby Daxton are scheduled to arrive!!

Summer Update

Here are a few pics from our summer travels.  Sorry they are kind of out of order.  We are done traveling for the summer and are anxiously awaitng the arrival of our two new little ones in just 8 WEEKS.  The boys are getting excited to have to new brothers but, I think they know theyre going to be a lot of work as well.  The other day Josh said to me "mom I wish you only had one baby in your tummy"  I asked him why and he replied "Because two babies are a lot of work"  Cant really argue with that.  We are excited for our new additions but scared to death at the same time.  4 kids by itself is scary, let alone 4 kids 3 and under (only for 2 months but still just as scary).  We are just taking it one day at a time and trying to spend as much quality time with our boys as possible before we are crazy busy with two new babies.  Enjoy the pics.  I can pretty much guarantee that with my blogging history this will be the last post until the babies come. 

    We spent a week in Yellowstone with my Family. 

 Park City- We spend 4 days up there with my sister and her family

 Yellowstone- Incase you were wondering, yes it was definately a challenge standing up from that position with my big belly.

The Tram ride in Park city.  My boys look forward to this ride all year.  They LOVE it.

Park City

Park City- My boys are getting to be quite the swimmers.  If we could just keep Josh's ears from getting massive infections every time he went in the pool (ear plugs dont seem to help)

Josh getting ready for his "dive"

Random Pic of Taylor.  He always very carefully alligns his animals on the top of his bed to go to sleep.

We let the boys pick out a souvenir from Yellowstone, surprise, they pick this.  They love them.  They always are asking Lonnie to go outside with them to shoot their sling shots

Random little store in Yellowstone.  The boys wanted these cowboy hats so bad.  To bad they were $50 a piece.  Sorry boys

Miniture Golfing in Yellowstone- This was the boys first experience with mini golf.  They absolutely loved it. 

Another favorite of my boys- The dinosaur musuem.

We have had a great summer and are just nestling in for the fall waiting.  Babies are doing well and growing a little to well.  Most twins are usually in the 20-30%.  Dont worry that mine are in the 69%.  Yesterday my doctor said to me "congratulations you are now measuring the same size that a singleton mom does when shes ready to deliver"  Pretty excited about that, since I still have 8 weeks left.  Which seems like a long time for my belly to grow but not so long when I think of it in terms of having 4 kids.   Wish us luck!!

The results are in!!!

We are having two more boys!! We are totally shocked. Not disappointed at all, but shocked. I thought for sure there was at least one girl in there. The boys both said "mom why is there two boys there was supposed to be a girl". We all thought there was a girl but we were all wrong.

St. George

Over Memorial Day we went and spent some time in St. George.  It was so nice to be in warm weather (since it was a monsoon where we live).  We mostly just hung out by the pool, and played in the park.  Nothing to eventful but it was nice to get away and do nothing.

Until this summer Taylor has not really loved swimming.  But, he was doing great this time.  He loved jumping in.  Could he have anymore floatation devices on though?  That was his doing not mine.

Josh

When we go to St. George we always stay at my brothers house.  He has a pool in the backyard which makes it soooo nice with kids.  No hauling everything to the pool. 

On Sunday we went to the St. George temple and a few other church sites. Dont mind my belly, I know its huge already.

My sister and her family came down with us, which was way fun.  My boys love the cousins.

That is pretty much all the excitement we have had lately. One very exciting thing is Im no longer puking all day everyday!!!  Its very nice.  We find out in 3 weeks what we are having!!

What we've been up too...

Here are just a few random pictures of the boys.  We took them on a tour of the firehouse a couple of weeks ago.  All of the younger cousins came.  The firefighters were so good with the kids.  My boys were in heaven.   We also just recently found out that I am expecting babies number 3 and 4.  Yes, you read it right.  I am pregnant with twins again.  Dont worry, you can pick your chin back up.  You cant be more shocked than we are.  We are EXTREMELY nervous to have 4 kids 3 and under but, feel very blessed at the same time.  Our lives our definately never boring.  The boys are thrilled and are convinced they are going to have two baby sisters.  But, the say if one is a boy they will name him Toothless and they will share all their tools and bows and arrows with him.
