Happy Birthday Carlie and Jake!

Carlie and Jacob had their birthday party at Toads. It was a lot of fun! They were going to have a swimming party, but the weather didn't cooperate! Its okay, though, they had a blast! They got to do laser tag, mini golf, go karts and had pizza! They have such great friends!

Jacob got a scooter from Colten, Carlie and Jessie. We got him new golf clubs a couple of weeks earlier (he needed to use them so he got them early!)

Carlie got just what she wanted! I think she was surprised!!

Memory Game

My friend Katie has this fun game on her blog, so here goes-

Here is a fun little game... leave a comment on my blog of a memory that you and I have had together. It doesn't matter if you've known me for a short time or a long time, anything that you remember! Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It is pretty funny to read the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you are playing and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. On your mark... get set... blog those memories!

Oh ya, and those of you who have known me for a long time - know that there is nothing to worry about because I have always kept it clean!!! ;)

Flashback Friday

Next week Carlie and Jacob will be turning 11! I can't believe it's been that long since I was pregnant with them, at the time it seemed like it would never end and here we are 11 years later! I've been thinking a lot about my pregnancy and how fun it was to have two babies at once so I thought it would be fun to reminisce a little bit! The pictures aren't very clear - that was back in the olden days when there was no such thing as a digital camera so I had to scan in some old pictures!



Wow - bet you didn't think anything could be that big, huh!? I was about 32 weeks or so. They were born at 37 weeks, exactly 3 weeks before my due date.

Jacob Carlie

Carlie weighed 5 lbs 13 ounces and Jacob weighed 8 lbs 1 ounce - they were so different! Carlie was born first at 6:22 a.m. and then Jacob was born at 6:36 a.m. Even though Jake was the biggest he was a little banged up - he had to be in the NICU for five days and Carlie got to go home right away. It was okay though - we were able to get used to having one baby before we had them both at home!




It did take a little practice holding both babies - but we got pretty good at it! By the way has anyone actually seen Curtis with HAIR!



Their baptism. What a special day it was! I am so glad they chose to be baptized.


I am so proud of them and love both of them very much! I'm so glad they are part of our family. We've had a lot of fun times the past 11 years and I know we'll have lots more fun in the years to come!
