The women in my life...

Tonight I am thankful for a wonderful mother, sisters, and friends. I have had a rough week. I will not go into detail now but things have just not gone my way the past few days. Luckily I have a great mom who always listens to me and 3 wonderful sisters! Renee has 4 kids of her own but will talk to me on the phone 10 times a day for as long as I need. I love it! Abbey and Kelsey are always willing to help with my kids and spend time with me and maske me laugh...even during finals week! I love them and am so grateful for the relationship I share with each of them!

Tonight my high school girlfriends got together for a Christmas party. It is just what I needed. A night hanging out with good friends, good food, and memories. It was so fun to spend time together and chat for hours! Thank you Linds for hosting! I am so glad we are all still friends after all this time. I feel refueled for the rest of the week! Tomorrow I will be a better mom, a better wife, a better friend, and a better sister!

Thank you to all the wonderful women in my life!

And of course, thanks to my amazing husband who was there today when I needed him! You are the best!

P.S. At some point I will get my camera charger from my parent's house and post some pictures!!

2 Month Stats

Luke is my chubby boy. When the doc walked in the room yesterday she said "Wow these stats don't lie, he is a big boy!"

Weight: 13 lbs 3 oz - 85th percentile
Height: 23.8 inches - 78th percentile

He is still an awesome baby! He gets a little fussy at night but other than that he is an angel baby! He sleeps pretty well most nights which is great for me. We LOVE our little boy and so do his brothers!

Dear Santa...

"I want a Spider with a remote that crawls and goes outside and tickle, tickle".
Love, Easton

"For Christmas I want a car with a remote...vroom vroom".
Love, Brady

This is all my kids want for Christmas. Is it crazy that my 3-year-old saw a remote control spider at Target 2 months ago and it is all he can talk about and all he wants for Christmas? I have tried to convice him he wants a car but he tells me that is what Brady wants and he wants a spider. Last night I went Christmas shopping and bought him his spider. My fear is that come Christmas morning he will be terrified of the HUGE spider and want Brady's car. I almost bought an extra car last night so we would have a back up if I end up being right but Kelsey told me that was stupid. Christmas morning could be exciting when my 3 year old opens a massive spider that says it is for ages 6+. He better believe in Santa after this!

Soup Recipes?

There is snow on the ground and I am freezing. None of us feel good and all I want for dinner is soup. Can you help? If you have a good soup recipe please post it so I can have it! I don't have very many but I love soup in the winter. Thanks for your help!

Brotherly Love

These two love eachother! I have always been told that twins share a special bond but it is so neat to see it first hand. They are always looking out for one another and want to be together all the time. I am so grateful they always have a playmate and someone to entertain them! I love these boys and feel so lucky to be their mom!

No Internet :(

Here is a quick update...
We moved into our new house and are loving it! One down side, last week we noticed a little visitor. He was very small, had a tail, and was super fast. Yes, we have mice! Don't worry, we think we got it out. Ryan found it in our new garbage can the other day. It is one of those that opens automatically with motion. Ryan shut the lid as quick as he could and ran out and put the garbage can in the street. My new garbage can no longer looks new and has a few scratches but at least we got the mouse out. Last night I went and bought mouse traps and something you plug into the wall to scare away the mice. I am hoping it will work. I can honestly say I have not slept as well or enjoyed my house as much as I did before we met our little friend. I guess that is what we get for building next to a field where construction is still going on.

The boys have adjusted well. They ask every morning if we can go to Grandma's house but have not had a hard time going to bed or adjusting otherwise so I am grateful for that!

Luke is getting huge! He loves his food and is actually rather chubby these days! We love having him in our family and can't imagine life without him!

We are getting the internet on Thursday so hopefully I will be able to post pictures then!
