Leaving on a Jet Plane...

So I am just getting ready to go to the airport. I am getting a little sad. This sounds so dumb but I swear my kids know I am leaving. Easton woke up earlier than usual so I just went and got him and put him in bed with me. Usually he is all restless and just wants to get up but this morning he just layed there with me and fell asleep. Brady woke up and has been so sweet. He keeps wanting me to pick him up and then he hugs me and pats my back. Seriously, it is 2 days, why am I so sad. AHHHHH!!!!

Okay well now that I am crying I am going to go finish getting ready. I have lots of fun plans while I am in Utah so I know I will have fun and be fine as soon as I get there. I will post pics later! I hope you are doing something fun this weekend too!

A Little Nervous...

So in case you didn't know...I am headed to Utah on Thursday afternoon ALONE. Yes, you read right, ALONE. I am leaving my kids behind and flying there Thursday and will be back on Saturday night. I have a work thing I have to go to so that is the reason for the quick visit. I have been so excited since I bought my ticket because I have really felt like it was time for a break. As it is getting closer I am starting to feel a little nervous. I know I am crazy but the longest I have ever been away from my kids is 2 days and that was when Ryan and I came to Vegas to look for somewhere to live. The other day I was almost trying to get Ryan to tell me that it wasn't going to work for me to go and I needed to cancel my ticket but he didn't and I am glad. Ryan is going to have the kids most of the time with the help of my wonderful sister-n-law Aleena while he is at school.

I am looking forward to hanging out with my sisters and relaxing. My best friend also had a baby in November and even though I have been to Utah twice I have hardly seen her because my kids were sick both times. I am excited to hang out with Whit and hold Saylor. I am going to miss my kids (who wouldn't miss those kids) but I am excited for a little break!

FINALLY!!!!!!

So Easton has been a little slow getting up the courage to let go of the furniture/wall and walk. He has been taking a few steps the last few days and we have been so excited. We just got the boys out of the bath and brought them downstairs. Ryan stood Easton up and he just started walking! It was like he all of the sudden decided he could do it. It has kind of been sad when Brady is walking around playing with all the kids and Easton just stands there. We are glad he can now join in the fun and play! Ryan says tomorrow his exercise program starts!

Our Morning Walks...

Easton, Brady, Trenton, Jaxon, Sammie, Bailee, Anna, and Hannah.
We love our morning walks with our friends! It gives me something to look forward to every day. We are so lucky that the weather is good enough here that we can bundle up the kids and go. We go on walks most mornings but on Mondays and Wednesdays we go to exercise group at the church where the kids run around the cultural hall while the mommies try to get in some exercise. It is so fun to have something to look forward to every morning to get us going. This is what we usually look like and sometimes there are more!

Sick AGAIN...

If you are wondering where I have been let me just tell you. I have been cleaning up throw up, washing sheets, washing pj's, changing poopy diapers, giving countless baths in a day and buying Pedialyte. Yep you guessed it, Brady has a horrible case of the flu. Poor kid has been so sick he can't even keep down the Pedialyte. It started Thursday and we thought he was better yesterday (we even went out to eat) but today he is even worse. We are seriously contemplating driving to St. George to go to the InstaCare because I am a little nervous he is dehydrated.

Anyway, our lives really have not been too exciting so I probably would have nothing to blog about but at least I have a good excuse for being MIA for a while. Maybe this week I will have something fun to blog about! I hope you are all enjoying your weekend more than I am :)

Gavin Dane Hill!

Happy Birthday to the sweetest 6 year old I have ever met. Gavin is a wonderful, smart and funny little boy whom I adore. He is a great cousin and so helpful with my kids whenever he is around. He always tells me, "Sarah your twins are so adorable." Gavin I hope you have a wonderful day and we are so excited you are moving closer to us soon!

Party Time!

On Saturday we went to a birthday party for Brady and Easton's friend William. It was at Gymboree and it was so much fun! They boys loved playing with their friends and were much more into it than the last time we went. It was also fun for Ryan and I to catch up with some friends we hadn't seen in a while. I pulled out my camera at the last minute and didn't even get a picture of the Birthday Boy but here a few I did get. Brady loved playing on the mats!Easton spent most of the time popping the bubbles. He was loving it!This is our friends adorable daughter Kenadee. I hope my little girls look like her!

Later that night we went to dinner with some other friends and then went and played games! It was a wonderful evening filled with good friends, good food and laughter!
