Christmas 2011!

We had such a busy December it flew right on by! I can't believe Christmas is come and gone! My cute old Grandpa passed away the week of Christmas so it didn't even seem like the holidays, but it made it extra special to remember my Grandpa, and spend so much time with family:)! *for some reason I always do my pics backwards.. oh well:)*

I am now 34 weeks pregnant and out of the danger zone! I can go into labor anytime and my doctor won't stop me! Woohoo! That was the best Christmas present! We had a appt today and I am dialated to a 1 and 80% effaced (TMI, but I want to remember!) Babies are both head down (last week twin B was breech.. the kid does flips inside.. who knows how cause there is not much room in there), so as of now we are going to be able to deliver normal!! We set my induction date for January 20th!!! We can't wait.. but I am REALLY hoping they come in 2 weeks:) Since they are both head down, they sit right on my bladder.. makes for long uncomfortable nights! But I am just so grateful to be this far with NO problems and healthy babies! We feel so lucky, and are sooo excited to meet these 2!! :)

We spent Christmas with my family this year and had a blast, and got spoiled like always! The twins got more gifts than we did:) Ty and I had a small budget for each other, and he out did him self like always.. He is seriously the bEST gift giver.. He got on my pintrest and looked at things I posted, and made me the CUTEST pillow out of the CUTEST fabric that was only one dollar! I am one lucky girl:) He has been way too good to me, and I am not an easy person to live with right now!

Opening presents!

Of course we had to line up at the top of the stairs.. My parents make Christmas so fun! Our day was super busy, we opened gifts, ate breakfast, talked to my brother in Chile (who gets home in 7 weeks!!), went to church, hung out with my dads family.. remembering my Grandpa, then played games with my moms family! We were so tired by the end of the day but couldn't have been a better day!

Our poor tree needs some decorations..!

This cute little guy turned ONE!! He had the cutest party ever and we were so glad we could celebrate with him! We love this little man:) Happy Birthday Nixon!!

Woods had us over for Gingerbread house making! The boys built our houses, and the girls decorated! It's not Christmas without making Gingerbread houses! We had so much fun.


Merry Christmas!!

Happy Thanksgiving!! ~and lots more~

I can't believe that November has come and gone!! We had a really fun month!! Baby showers, family parties, Twilight, shopping, lots of food, and growing 2 babies!!

We spent Thanksgiving with Ty's family and had a blast! I ate way too much food, but it was sooo good! I have been craving the leftovers from the "Thanksgiving meal" since the first of October!:) It was worth the wait!!! We relaxed during the day, looked at all the adds, watched football.. well mostly the boys did, I felt like the day went way too fast! Then we went with my family (tradition) to shop the black friday sales!

29 weeks!! Woohoo!!

This is what my weekends have turned into! Ty, Kevin, and Matt playing the play station! They LOVE it!!

After seeing Twilight this is what Katie and I looked like after loosing the car and walking in the snow for 10 min!

Our work invited Katie and I to go see Breaking Dawn, and dinner! I miss these girlies so much! We had a blast catching up and watching our favorite show ever:) This was my 2nd time!

Had to take another picture of the 3 of us! One month later.. Love my cousins! and it's fun being pregnant with them!

Going to the midnight showing of Breaking dawn! Aly, Suany, Kirsten, Brooke, me, and Nicole! We went to I hop before and I have been pretty obsessed ever since! I finished off everyones food and it was the best waffle and french toast ever!

My Prego friends! in order of due date:) Me, Ang, Shae, and Brit! Aren't they so cute!!

My besties from high school! Love these girls!! We have way too much fun together! Thanks Ang for such a cute fun shower!! (and check out her house.. its the cutest thing ever!)

My mom and these beauties threw me a shower too! My babies are SO spoiled!!!

and my friends shower!! Love all these girls:)

The woman who threw the shower (and Natalie helped too:)!! These are my favorite girls ever!! I am so lucky to have such great friends:)

FEAR FACTOR BIRTHDAY PARTY! All these boys (except for Ty) have B-days in November so us girls did a fear factor party for them! They had to get marbles out of a freezing cold pool with their feet blindfolded...

Dig in mud, spaghetti, and worms for scrabble tiles...

Use only their mouths to find a penny buried in tuna, cherry pie filling, and tampons...

Find the egg not boiled on their heads... and eat crazy cookies, pancakes, bread, choc, etc, and guess what is in them...

We had so much fun planning and even more fun watching! These boys are so funny and so awesome for playing along! Happy Birthday!


Sorry so long.... But last we celebrated my Grandpas birthday at Zupas!!:) He is the cutest, and sweetest man and since we missed his real b-day celebration it was fun to take him out and have him all to ourselves!!
Now bring on December!!!:)

27 Week Photo Shoot!

My cute friend Charlee took these super amazing pictures for Ty and I a couple weeks ago! She is so talented and we LOVE them all.. These are just a few of our favorites! Thanks again Char!!

Can't wait until the 2 little guys can fill those shoes!:)



Pics of one of our babies.. The roll is really long! We are so in love with these two men! I am one of those really emotional pregnant woman, and every time I think about them I start to cry! Ty just makes fun of me... But I want them here so bad, I just don't want them to ever grown up! :) (Don't mind my growing booty, with my growing belly!)


We only have about 9 weeks left (I am just hoping to keep them in my belly that much longer)! I can't believe how fast time is flying. I am almost 29 weeks and feeling pretty good.. I feel pretty lucky to be carrying these 2 little guys! We have been having so much fun putting the nursery together, shopping for them, and getting our house ready for babies! I just hope they like us as much as we like them:)
Thanks again Char for your amazing job on our pictures! We LOVE them!

*Busy Month*

Phew.. We had a busy month!.. Get ready for a LLLLOOONNNGGGG post!

Maughns Halloween Party! We had a blast! We dressed up as a bank robber and the loot! It was fun and super easy! I get excited to dress up then once its time I kind of get lame and don't care anymore! But we had lots of fun getting our costume together!

The Party!! Everyone had such good costumes! Flakes took home the "best costume" trophy! They are so funny and creative!!

Halloween Half Marathon!! My brother Steven, his wife Suany, Ty, my dad, and Cousin Lauri ran Saturday morning! It was so fun watching them! Ty was the only one in the group that dressed up (as batman), but there were some AWESOME and really funny costumes!! My dad did amazing, like always, Ty rocked it for hardly any training (under 2 hrs!!), Lauri just had a baby and hardly trained either and did so awesome! Steven and Suany just wanted to finish and they did great!! We already planned the whole family doing it next year!! CAN'T WAIT!

So proud of him! Can't wait to run with him and meet our two boys at the end:)!

love him

YIKES!! My cute cousins.. we are all about 2 months apart!! Its so fun, except I am HUGE!! Nicole is 9 weeks, Aly is 22 weeks, I am 26 weeks! Aren't my cousins cute:)

26 weeks! Twin A is a mover and goes almost all day long! Twin B is mellow as can be! My doctor think he just kicks his brother all day because he is facing him! Both are about 2 lbs each and healthy as can be! I am soooo in love with them! and I LOVE being pregnant and am so grateful I can carry these 2 little guys!

and this is why I am SOOO excited for 2 boys! Seriously these 2 are the CUTEST little boys ever! Nixon and Brox! They keep us laughing! I think Ty even has a crush on them too!

Couples trip to ST GEORGE!! Ash Wood's parents have such a nice vacation home in St George and were so nice to let us stay there again! We had a little drama on the way down after our car broke down in Beaver (we are bad luck on road trips... seriously)! After trying to figure out what to do for over an hour we left our car there and piled in the Flakes car! 2 babies, 3 couples, plus ALL the luggage.. made for a good laugh! But we pulled it off and we made it!

Nixon was REALLY excited to be at Brick Oven:) The girls table.. My friends are Gorgeous, I know!!

The boys! and Reese!!

It was such nice weather.. The boys swam a lot!

Us girls went to Thriller at the Tuachan! We had SOO much fun... like always! I think it has to be a new tradition!!


We also hiked the Narrows, went shopping, played games, layed out, ate lots of food, and had a blast! I am so lucky to have such fun friends:)

October... Halloween!

I LOVE this time of year! I wish it could be October forever:) (ok not really)! Besides being sick with a horrible cold (that won't go away) for the last week and a half, and Ty getting food poisoning we have been super busy playing and celebrating Halloween!!

We took a Halloween Cruise down the Provo River with the Flakes! They told jokes, and ghost stories, and even had pirates! Thank goodness we did not pay full price on this! It was pretty lame, but we got a good laugh and it was fun to get out and try something new! They have one at Christmas with Santa... hmmm pretty tempting... not!! :)

Getting ready to sail away!! (but you don't go very far!)

Jones had their Halloween party again this year! They know how to plan a party, cause it was SO MUCH FUN!! We were put in groups of 4 and were all on missions to finish first! We had to swim in a lake, eat a worm, climb a tree, and come back in costume all within 2 hours... plus find lots more stuff on the way!! Katie and I even found a tombstone with someone who died on October 31st! :) Thanks Katie and Braydn for hosting such a fun party!! It gets better every year!!

me, Katie, Brandon, and Kevin.... We rocked it:) and came back as nija turtles!! Pretty sure my big old belly held us back a bit, but we still finished first and we won!!:)

Mike, Ash, Jed, and Jess... They came back as Siegfried and Roy! So funny! Their costumes were so clever.. we had a tight budget!!

Megan, Brett, Braydn, and Linds! They were the Teletubbies! Their costumes were awesome too!

and the Kardashians! Dyami, Ty, Hannah, and Matt!! Ty looks so funny!! He is wearing Dyamis cardigan.. not his best look! :)


My bestie since highschool, Angie, just found out she is having a little girl:) She is 5 weeks behind me and it's so fun!! We already have one of our boys married off to her! So excited for Ang and Jake!
