Tales of a Preschool Nothing...

So yesterday, Dave notices that someone had written on our front sidewalk with crayon.  He asks Gabe if he knew who did it.  "No, I don't know who did it Dad" he says.  I don't know if you can see, but it is his name that he wrote with the crayon.

Gabe practicing writing his name on paper..

The sidewalk where the writing occurred.  You be the judge.

My Crazy, Fun Mom!

I found this picture on my parents computer. My Mom, Tera and I were at Wal-Mart at Christmas Time..apparently having the time of our lives! This picture brings back a great laugh, I just had to share! Isn't she cute!

Owen's first day of 2nd grade

Owen's first day of school..yes this face is what you get when you ask a 7 year old for a nice picture!

He started 2nd grade at St. Marguerite's Catholic School.  He is back with his old friends and is way excited!

6 Weeks Old!

We have made it to 6 weeks!  Well almost officially on Sunday.  As you can see, Alivia on the right is much larger than Jonah who is on the left.  He kinda looks like Dr. Jekyll in this picture

A Thankful Post

I just wanted to take the time to thank everyone who has helped me these last few months!

Tums and Pepcid, I could not of gotten through 9 months without you!  

The peeps who work at Carl's Jr in Tooele and make the best half coke/half diet coke!

Quaker granola bar makers, who have kept me alive through the pregnancy and now when I don't have time to eat.  My children really appreciate you!

The makers of Zoloft.  Yes I am on an anti depressant, but I have to say, when I got home I was dying people, yes dying.  I didn't think I would make it.  I think I was so worn down from the pregnancy and with twice the hormones surging through my body, I was a wreck!  Once it finally kicked in,  I feel like myself and function like I should and no more spontaneous crying jags!  So if you are feeling it, definitely talk to your doctor!  

Tera and Dave for living with us and helping me and listening to me complain and keeping our business afloat!

Jesse who when he lived here would cook for us and make great food when I wasn't up for it.

My parents who cannot be replaced and even enjoy getting peed and pooped on!

Mary who also cannot be replaced .  I don't know how I would of gotten through those first weeks without you!

The Reals Family in general who are great peeps and we love to death!

Sharon, the night nurse who comes in 3 nights a week so I can get some sleep and be a better mom..For you I will be ever grateful!

My 86 Year old Grandma who comes once a week to hold a baby and fold some laundry. Does she ever get tired of doing laundry after all these years?

Tina for coming and being great and staying the night Monday, letting me sleep.  I think she is crazy, but she wanted a challenge!  

Stephanie for bringing me Trader Joes Salsa.  She must be sick of me by now, but she still does it whenever she goes to California!

Owen and Gabe who I love more than anything.  Who actually like the babies and and great big brothers!  

Jonah and Alivia  Thank you for choosing me to be your mom.  I don't know how I am doing, but I am trying!  

David  who is a great provider for us and makes sure we have everything we could possibly need and want!  Thank you for being a great guy and a great dad!  I love you!

I think that is it!  

Cute picture of Jonah-Bear and Dave. Actually Jonah looks like a little Dave! I don't know if you can tell from this picture...they make the same faces! It kinda freaks me out a little, I have to say!

Because I can

Totally foo-foo, but Mary and I decided to put Alivia in one of the tutus Tera has made for her. As you can tell, she loves it!

Jonah and Alivia

Jonah and Alivia born July 13th 2008! Jonah Ezra born at 1:11 am weighing 4 lbs 13 ozs and Alivia Suri born at 1:12 am weighing 5 lbs 13 ozs!

owen and his broken arm

So an hour after getting to Grandma Mary's house, Christy and owen engaged in a brutal thumb war. Hulk Hogan was on owens finger and took the lead. Then after much contention, owen sprang for the win and tripped over Christy's foot and hit the fireplace! After driving down Marguerite Pkwy at 80 mph, Dave got owen and christy to Mission Hospital in record time. He has a buckle fracture. He cast was set today, July 23rd, but he won't let me take a picture. So hopefully I will put one on when he decides to cooperate. I have to say, he has been very brave, because I know it hurts at times and he has not complained too much. We love you owen!

ok they are here

ok so the twins arrived 10 days ago, on July 13th ...Jonah at 1:11 am and Alivia 1:12am. Jonah "Baby A" weighed in at 4 lbs and 13 ozs and Alivia "Baby B" weighed in at hefty 5 lbs 13 ozs. Jonah's nickname is "peanut" because he is sooo small. Alivia's pound on her brother REALLY makes a huge difference! owen has tentatively nicknamed her "princess" but I don't really want to make it a self-fulfilled prophecy in a house of all boys! But I am sure she will be the queen of all eventually.
I haven't had time to download the pictures of the events of the last few weeks. I will hopefully soon!
Mary has been here with me and I am sooo happy she is here! Dave is MIA pretty much and between her and my parents and Tera, I have actually been able to get a little rest! THANKS S MUCH!
Did I mention C-Sections suck ass? I was not really prepared for how much they hurt and how limiting they can be! But we are almost to the 2 week mark, so I will be able to drive again! Thank Goodness!
Also I would like to Thank the Lee Klan for taking owen for a few days and to the Mascaranes family for letting Gabe to come over to play and being great people.
