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!

Busy, busy, busy

Well.......it's been a while - my life is crazy!!!!! It really seems like the older my kids get the busier everyone gets. Maybe when they start driving it will calm down a bit! I better get used to it since that won't happen for at least a couple of years! Anyway, we've been so busy running to golf tournaments, baseball games and a tournament in Idaho Falls and of course soccer! I guess it is good to keep the kids busy, but man it's wearing me out!! So far this summer we haven't done anything too fun or exciting - nothing worth getting the camera out for anyway! Jessie did do a face plant in the driveway and knocked out her last front tooth and now looks like she was in a fight! Her face is all scratched up and she has no teeth! Well, hope everything is going well with all you guys! Hopefully I'll have something picture worthy come up soon! (Just kidding - I am so forgetful that I usually don't think to take pictures until its too late!) Take care!

Kids Tag

Here are six things you should know about Jessie!

1. Jessie love, love, LOVES our dog Milo. She just can't get enough of playing with him! She carries him everywhere, plays baby with him, and lets him kiss her all over. Amazingly he loves her too!

2. Jessie loves to play dress up. She changes her clothes at least five times a day, whether it's into a swim suit, a dress up, or her own clothes! Because of this her room is always a mess!

3. Jessie has such an imagination! She makes up some of the craziest games and has such fun doing it! She can entertain herself for hours!

4. Jessie has more friends than she knows what to do with. She can make friends wherever she goes and she always wants to play.

5. She is the baby of our family and by the way she acts you can tell! She has been so spoiled by all of us. We love having her in our family.

6. Today Jessie had her last day of kindergarten - now she's off to first grade! She is so excited to be at school all day and eat lunch there!
