Trick or Treat!

This is on our way back home from trick-or-treating, he was tired!

The fireman got camera shy.

I had to dress up my two baby boys for Halloween, too!

3rd Birthday

Aaron's 3rd birthday was a couple of weeks ago. It's been a whirlwind couple of weeks and I'm so happy to have a few minutes to let you know how much fun we had celebrating.

I arranged for our mom's meet-up group to meet at the local fire station for a tour.
My little 3 year old firefighter!

Walkie Talkies from mommy and daddy.

A big boy Cars blanket from Grandma Terri.

Almost 3 years old!

We went to Portrait Innovations this morning and I was determined to only spend $9.95 and get only one pose. It was hard, but quick decisions helped me reach my goal! I love this little guy so much and love spending every day with him, challenges and all. I'll post more pictures and information of Aaron at 3 next week after his birthday week!

Preggo update

As requested, CS!

The pregnancy is going great. I am 21 weeks and growing big! At our last appointment a couple of weeks ago, the babies were measuring a week ahead, which is great for twins. The doctor said I had a "great set of twins", uh...thanks! :) They are moving around more and more so I'm getting kicks and punches everywhere, but I love to feel and watch them move. Their names are (drum roll, please) Eric Glen and Grant Leo. We just really liked the first names and the second names are family names from both sides. Aaron likes to give them hugs and kisses. He recently got a big boy bed and decided he wanted to give his crib to Eric :). We'll have to get another one for Grant! And, we just realized yet another challenge with twins, who gets the used shoes and who gets the new ones??

This video goes by really quickly, but it's so awesome! Those are our little boys' feet moving around!

My stash!

This is for you JD! Total before coupons/deals was $93.14 (look at all those diapers!). Total out of pocket was $31.16 and I got $8.50 back in Walgreens and CVS cash. It took hours of planning, preparation and execution, but it's fun. I could have done even better if I had scraped together a couple more coupons and beat some others to a couple of deals, but not too bad!

Family update: Aaron started pre-school this week. Myself and 5 other friends got together and formed a pre-school co-op. We take turns being a helper and then a teacher each week and then have the other weeks "off" to do things like rob Walgreens and CVS! Aaron loves "school" and the co-op is running very smoothly. The baby boys are doing great. At my appointment then other day I was 19 weeks, but they were measuring 20 weeks, which is great! They are growing very evenly and I'm feeling fine. Putting on shoes for myself and Aaron as well as rolling over in bed is getting to be a challenge, but we haven't seen nothin' yet! I visited the brand new Seton Hays hospital this week and the maternity ward is so nice I'm almost looking forward to giving birth to two babies.

Goggle Boy!

Doesn't he look like such a big boy! I can't wait to have little babies to hold again! But, he did say this morning when he was snuggling with me drinking his milk..."Love Mommy forever". It doesn't get much better than that!

12 weeks!

Officially entering the 2nd trimester! We had a sonogram yesterday and other than Aaron shouting "Daddy, where are your boobies?" in the waiting room, everything went great. I think I'll start referring to them as "mommy parts" from now on. They (the babies) are actually measuring a couple days ahead of schedule. We have another sono scheduled in 4 weeks, so we hope to find out genders then!

Many more successes on the potty lately, I guess we are officially potty trained!
