Alot of nakedness...

Teeth are over rated!

Teeth around here are dropping like flies! In one week Makenna lost 2 and Brayden lost one! This tooth fairy needs a second job!

There is another one of me...

The girls are now beginning to realize there is another one of them! I can sit them up in front of each other and they will smile and coo. Hands down the best thing ever! They will attempt to reach for each others facial attachments...who needs toys when you have a twin???

3 months old...how is it even possible?

You long for 3 months to go by when you are pregnant...I now find myself clinging to each minute that passes. A race that the hands of time are continually battling me.
Its currently 3:40am and I'm up with my sweet Alexa, yet again. Some how I have a different view and an unexplained joy in these wee hours. I soak in the perfectly made fingers and delicate toenails, smell the lingering hints the day has left behind, feel their soft fuzzy heads against my cheek, trace the outline of their soft pink lips, kiss every exposed inch of skin.
These moments I get to examine each one separately. Look, truly look, at the wonder of what God has done. God formed 2 perfect babies in my womb.Who am I to be this blessed? The bustle of the day has left me in awe of Him. Humbled by His goodness. In the quiet of the dawn I am able to slow down the ticking clock and enjoy the moment....

Have to start somewhere....

So 3 months later here I am to announce the birth of our girls! Born Aug 5. Avery Scott weighing 5 lbs 14 oz and 21 inches and Alexa Drew 3 lbs 14oz and 16 inches. Alexa had to stay in Seattle for 2 weeks. I hope to blog about that adventure soon! Along with some pictures from the hospital but for now here are some current ones of our sweet miracles...

Avery

Alexa

My 5 kids!

Ben's birthday bash

One thing I love about having boys is the simplicity of their idea of a good time! Friends, food, and some rambunctious activity!

Food check!

Friends check!

Rambunctious activity double check!

Brandon was the designated quarterback, such a great dad!

All and all a very fun, low key, stress free, 12 year old birthday!  

31 weeks....

Well if I could title this week of pregnancy it would be.....

Hormones be a Ragin!

I'm a wreck to put it mildly. I'm all over the map... Sad, emotional, angry, very angry, and worthy of lock up! It's varying degrees in the anger department none of them very becoming. And when you start crying when someone simply asks, 'how are you?' It's time to just limit your access to the outside world! Think this would just be a good week to skip for everyone involved.

This weeks artwork is by all 3 kids. Ben contributed the Christmas tree, hand print, and thought it would be hysterical to  put the Mexican flag??? Brayden did the butterfly, smilie faces, tulip, and random globs of color. And Makenna did the the apple tree, clouds, sun, and a snail (that one I can't identify yet!)
