2014 you have been a wonderful year to us! We are so thankful for health, happiness and well being! We look forward to fabulous things in store for 2015!
The transition has been remarkably smooth! The house is NEVER dull and there is constant running, laughing and high pitched excitement. I am glad the nursery was loud with babies because the twins do not seem phased at all by the noises. They are able to sleep right through it.
Tripp loves to run up and grab the bottle from me so… "I feed Thomas… Mommy who's dat?" Each time he tries to guess he always guesses Thomas. He has never tried to guess Thomas. It is so funny! He feeds him the bottle from 40 seconds and then is done and running back to what he was doing.
We took our first walk. It was a gorgeous almost 70 degree day so we took every opportunity to get out and enjoy it!
Juliette is a pro and will help me whenever she can or is not took busy playing.
This is how I feed them - one and then the other. It is a learn as you go but we are getting a system down. Their first Doctor's visit for a weight check they each gained 10 ounces in 6 days! That is AWESOME! Doctor was so pleased she did not even need to see them until their one month visit.
We gave the twins their first bath! It was quite entertaining and the children thought it was so funny to see them so up close and wrapped up in the bathroom after the bath. They love to look at their little features.
We stopped for a visit and of course Buckwheat came out for a walk. Juliette loves roaming the backyard with Buckwheat and her Doh.
Say cheese! Show off that new smile with four baby teeth gone!
I had the most special day today! Some of my very best girl friends and I got together today to celebrate each other! Best friends are those that you may not see in years and can pick up with each other and feel like it was just yesterday that you were last together!
Cheers to Bishop England and some of the best girl friends a girl could ask for!
There was nothing I could wish for Christmas than two new healthy baby boys! We are so blessed with each of our children and give thanks. We were able to go to Tessa and Doh's Christmas evening for a wonderful dinner and see what Santa delivered!

Juliette got a sketch pad and some real art supplies, she could not wait to start drawing and coloring with them working on a bird
I love this time of the year with all of the special activities. Tripp and Juliette had the cutest Christmas shows at school. This age for both of them is just priceless and I strive to enjoy every minute of it all!
Juliette's class had Christmas traditions of the world. Each child was paired up with a partner and had to mesmorize a script. I was shocked when the show started and Juliette was the first one to the podium by herself as the "Welcome Child." I was SO proud of her! I know as a child I would have been terrified up there.

This is the 2K crew… they are the first to always arrive and are the best of buddies! Carson, Zoey and Tripp
Trippy's class… they are apparently all a handful! I can tell!
I was so excited to leave the hospital for a few hours for a very special visit with Santa! We headed to Don's office where the children were met with a very special someone!
My sweetest little girl even created in the car pictures to put on Thomas and Tyler's cribs at the hospital! I love this little girl so much! She is so excited about the addition of two new baby brothers!
We're all anxiously awaiting the arrival of Santa!
And Juliette and Tripp were thrilled when he arrived! He even had some Elves that helped him with all of the presents!
After the visit with Santa we took the kids to Chuck E Cheese for some pizza and fun! What a wonderful day!
Surprise! We have a set of twin boys born Monday, December 8th 2014. Thomas Daniel and Tyler James were born at 12:45 PM and 1:00 PM Monday afternoon via c-section at 35 weeks. The babies were in the nursery for just under two weeks and were known as "growers and feeders." They were kept in the there to watch their growth and let them perfect their feeding. We came home on December 23rd and what a Christmas gift was that! It was the best Christmas gift a Mother could ask for!
Thomas weighed in at 5 pounds 15 ounces and Tyler weighed in at 5 pounds 2 ounces. They were perfectly healthy when they decided to arrive!

Juliette was so excited to meet her new brothers!
Tripp was a hoot when he came over. He was excited but he was more into explaining to me…" No pick a pig"…. do you like his demonstration?
Then he decided to hone in on the actual babies in the room
Each day we knew we were getting closer when you actually rejoiced and took pictures of the empty bottles that the babies took!
Tessa and Thomas… Tessa was a professional rocker by the time we were able to leave the hospital!
Baby boy Thomas after his feeding tube had been taken out! That was a happy day as it meant we were almost heading home!
The hour before we were leaving the nurse came into my room and found me with two hungry babies! She thought it was so cute she insisted on taking a picture!
By the end of two weeks, Thomas now weighed 6 pounds three ounces and Tyler weight 5 pound 10 ounces. They really did some growing!
Love these baby boys so much already!
They had the most wonderful nurses and doctors in the nursery who began to feel like family to me! I will miss each of them and thank them for all of their kindness and care but there is no place like home!
The new Mommy of four little ones! Three boys and a girl! Wish me luck as we head home!!
