Our New Years Weekend!

I love the Holidays, and I LOVE when Ty has days off of work!:) We tried to live up the weekend cause who knows when it could be the last with "Just the 2 of us"!! With our non stress test, Cheesecake Factory, shopping, concert, sleeping in, dancing the nights away, games, eating out, a lot, naps, and family stuff, I think we had a great weekend! I was sad when it ended.

35 weeks and still growing.. My belly is getting stretched!!!

My dad LOVES his "what defines you for 2011" pictures! (we do it every year) and my husband was the one who reminded him of it this year.. I think he just sucking up.. He did score some big brownie points though:) Dad- stake president (lives in his suit), Costa Rica trip, and ran 2 half marathons. Mom-soon to be Grandma, and YW'S (consumes her life). Ty- Ran 3 half's (I'm a proud, jealous wife). Me- Large and in charge:). Steven- Timp football coach. Suany- Ran her 1st half marathon. Derek- Missionary in Chile (home in a month!!). Brooke- CNA!! Kirsten- Dancing (her entire life!!!). It really is a fun idea and I am glad that my dad does this! It's fun to look back at the old pictures and remember what we did that year!

Met up with these cute friends and their hubbys for lunch!

Playing my new FAVORITE game, Dance Dance! (I think thats what it is called??)

The boys dancing the night away

34 weeks! (almost 35)

We started the weekend with this.. Our weekly (we go 2 times a week) visit to Labor and Delivery! Getting our non stress test.. The babies are great every time and that gets us done a lot faster! They are movers, and very healthy babies! Looks fun right:)

Happy New Year!!

GOODBYE 2011... HELLO 2012!! We had a great year, but I am excited its over:) We went through lots of REALLY hard things, but I feel SOO lucky it turned into something even better than we imagined! I learned a lot, and I could not have done it without Ty:) The highlight of our year was getting pregnant, after a LONG wait, and finding out it was twin BOYS! Now we are just waiting any day for them to make their big debut into our world... (I am praying its really soon:)! and we CAN'T WAIT!!! Here is to 2012!!

My cute Grandpa Anderson!

My cute little 90 year old Grandpa Anderson passed away on December 19! He was super sick and had been in the hospital the entire month, and was beyond ready to pass on! My dads siblings all took shifts at the hospital so him and my Grandma were never alone! I feel so lucky that I was able to spend so much time with him durning my moms shifts!

He was moved to a rehab home the last 3 days of his life! So we celebrated my moms b-day there:) Probably wasn't the ideal birthday, but it was fun being together!

My cute grandparents! My grandpa was so miserable and it was so sad to see him in so much pain, but he kept a smile on his face, and was just grateful for another day! Even though he told us over and over that he was ready to pass on!

He passed away early in the morning on December 19th! We were so lucky to spend a few hours with him the day before and say our goodbyes! He was smiling and laughing with us as we got to talk to him, and ask for some last advice he could give us... He said not to get on the roof with a snowblower, cause that was really dumb of him to do! haha he is a funny man! It was probably one of the neatest things to be in that room with lots of family that last day! Makes losing someone special a lot easier, knowing he was beyond ready to go, and being able to say goodbye!

Some of my cute cousins:) and sisters!

My family!!:)

My other grandpa is buried at the same place, just a couple feet away!

Elder Perry is really good friends with my grandparents, and spoke at the funeral! He is so cute!

Ty and I with my sweet Grandma!

This man was a runner!! He would run every morning, even at 90 years old! The day he was admitted to the hospital he was going to run, but luckily the wind was so bad he decided not to! My goal is to be 90 and still running strong! I love this pic of his shoes! My favorite!!

I love and miss him so much! But I am so grateful to know I'll see him again!!:)

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!!!:)
