new things.

 wanted to post some fun pics....to remind me that we are having fun, and these babies couldn't be cuter!...some days are long, and some times i get a little down that i can't keep everyone happy....especially now that the twins are getting bigger, they are trying to get into everything and climb up everything.  not such a big deal, but it seems that once i take my eye off one of them, to go rescue and save the other, that its inevitable something crazy happens.  and then i have two upset babies....and i get a little overwhelmed. but i'll take this stage over the newborn not sleeping stage:)

needless to say i have a coldsore the size of montana due to the stress of being a mom, adding 2more kids to my plate, trying to apply for insurance, trying to sell our house in az(hopefully closing on the 24th double crossy, triple stampy it goes through), and trying to keep it all together without spence....but we all have junk, and somehow we all deal with it. i just feel really lucky to have 2 little girls and a husband that love me, and most days that does make everything all better.
 spence having a good time up in elk ridge country.
 we found the dress up box and the girls that it was fun
 this is tenley's room.
that is as far as the door opens, and yes, thats a toilet as well.  good thing she is too little to realize that she is stuck literally in the bathroom.
 two naked bums....life couldn't be better!!
 princess tenley.  her face says it all!
both girls have figure out how to climb up on the couch...not a big deal, but with 2babies they push each other off, bounce each other off, and climb off the wrong way...i think i have had about 5heart attacks just this week with babies climbing on things and falling off or diving off in quincy's case.  
they have also decided it funner to eat off of the other twins plate...so funny to watch them snag each others food, even though they have the same exact thing right in front of them.  they also like feeding each other...until a finger accidently gets in the way.:)  oh life with twins.

***but the biggest thing this week, is the bottle is gone!!***
ah i don't know what i was thinking, i see 4yr olds suckin on bottles, but i figured it was time.  the babes only got bottles at nap and bed time, but my sweet little babies did enjoy their bottles especially tenley.  we had 4 rough nights, and tenley now hates going to her bathroom/bedroom, but hopefully they will thank me later because they will have beautiful teeth and mouths!--
i did have to take heather and jo's and spencer's advice and through the nipples away and not listen to the monitor, i seriously almost caved every night.  good thing for those moms that have been there done that!!
--i'm so worried for church on sunday, because when they would get super fussy i would just shove a bottle in their mouth...so we'll see how it goes.

to the med. school gals. SLC VA is busy!! spence has been getting up at 5:30am and getting home at 8pm with no lunch breaks...who said 4th year was a breeze??!!!

Oh how I love you and I miss you! Sounds like we feel the same about 4th year. Blah!! GIve the girls hugs from me!

The Matthews Family said...

Oh goodness girlfriend; rough and tough stuff! My kids may not be twins, but I know EXACTLY what you are talking about with all of that stuff! Honestly, I think one kid is hard but throw one more in the mix (especially close in age/same age) and they are TROUBLE! Not looking forward to my five months without a husband! How long do you have again? But in a year we are done with school!!! Keep your head up! : )

Chin up girl! you rock! I say there is nothing wrong with survival mode eh?! ...I think 4th year is preparing us for the 1st year of residency, but the good news is there is a light at the end right! You amaze me with your two cuties!
