Trent

2 weeks ago we went Az for a last minute trip and we just happened to be in Mesa when Mel and Jennifer were in the hospital with this little guy so we got up Monday morning and drove to Tucson to surprise them.. we got there just in time to visit for awhile, then while we watched the last 40 laps of the Nationwide race he was born!!
Look how much he changed just within the couple of hours!! He was 8lb 3oz and 20 in long and totally adorable!!!
It was so awesome to be there and share that day with them... whether they wanted us to or not lol!!
I'm so glad things worked out to where we could see them, we haven't seen Mel or Jennifer for almost a year...WAY to long!!
Can't wait for our little guys!!

Haylee

Haylee is the cutest, most sassy girl around! I love her to pieces!! She goes back and forth as to whether she wants more brothers but I think when they get here she'll be thrilled!
We were driving the other day and I was telling Brian something about Tuttie, the nickname of the little girl I babysit, and he says "oh, she is my little baby girl!" with a huge smile on his face. Well, Haylee just happened to be sitting in the front seat between us and she flipped her head up and glared at him!
When he saw that he told her "Of course you're my number 1!! Always!!"
That made her feel better and she said she would share him with her ;)
What am I chopped liver??? LOL.. good thing he treats me so well or I'd be wondering!! :)

Scout Stuff

For Jacob and Joey's scout stuff they both had to work with tools and build something. One Saturday Brian and the kids spent the whole day working in the garage making Joey's pine wood derby car, Easter egg decorations for my front yard and little doggie mail holders. Of course Haylee and JJ had to get stuff too!!
It was so much fun for both Brian and the boys! I love it when they spend time "bonding" ;)

Crystals

Jake's class got to grow crystals then bring them home to show off their work... I'm thinking this was before spring break, whew! I told you I'm behind!!

What a Week

I know I'm so behind on my blog!! I can't find my camera and I haven't exactly had the energy to search, I just got over another yucky cold.
I did have a hard week, I haven't felt the babies move and at first I thought I was just busy and not paying attention so last Thur I really started to focus and I felt nothing!
I talked myself out of going to the Dr but over the weekend my anxiety just got worse, I mean, it's not my first rodeo so I know what to expect and with two shouldn't I be feeling double time??
Monday morning after I took the kids to school I headed to my Dr's office.. he's in surgery on Mondays but just wait here and I'll get his assistant. So while I'm waiting I start to feel really silly for being there and think maybe I'm overreacting and I should just leave. The assistant comes out and states that she can hook me up to the monitor but she is not legally allowed to read me the results and that I should head over to Labor and Delivery to be monitored. I told her no, I'll just come back when my Dr is back in the office and she said no way, go to L&D and I'll call to tell them you're coming. No leaving now!!
Good grief so as I'm walking over there (right across the street) I'm hoping they don't call Dr. Ott out of surgery for nothing and I'm embarrassed and worried at the same time so I start getting misty eyed when I told the nurse why I was there.
She starts to console me which makes me worse and tells me I can't take JJ with me so she'll just call Dr. Ott and see what he wants to do.. No way, I told her, I'll just come back when she informs me that she's not letting me go until we find out what's going on. Great.....
So she goes back to her desk behind the double doors and comes out 2 min later and says Dr. Ott is at my desk! He's in between surgeries and he'll take me to the office and do an ultrasound.
So this sweet guy comes out the door in scrubs and a smile telling me no worries, we'll find out what's going on and hopefully it's nothing serious.
I'm crying and don't know if I'm more embarrassed or scared lol!
Long story short.. sorry for the babbling ;) He puts the probe on my belly and my 2 sweet boys are kicking and punching away!! The placenta is in front and blocking me from feeling them! WHO KNEW?!?!? I sure hope it moves because that is my favorite part of being pregnant, feeling the baby move!!
Wow, sorry for the long story but what a great day I had after that visit!!!

NFL Draft

How sweet would it be if this little hottie could go to AZ????? I know, won't happen but a girl can dream right?

Did you see his Superbowl commercial with his mom, it was hilarious!!!

I can't wait to see what's ahead for him.... GO TIM!!

Boy o Boy!!!

Drum roll please.............. Can you believe two more BOYS??? Oh my gosh! I was so sad for Brian, he's wanted twin girls since he discovered he can be a dad!
We of course are SUPER excited and can't wait for these little guys! A friend texted, holy cow 5 missions!! When I told another friend he said cheaper than 3 weddings!!! True True ;)
Baby "A" seems to be the more dominant one already, he's always on top ready for pics and the little baby "B" was totally squished on the bottom!
The top right is a profile of baby "a" and baby "b" is looking right at us with his little skeleton face.
We got a good look at one of the lips and there was no cleft so we are staying positive. The UltraSound Tech said in 4 weeks she'll do a full ultrasound with measurements and we'll know for sure about the clefts.
Lets see, we've heard Jayden, James, Jesse, Justin.... what do you think???
EEEKKKKK.... Can July come fast enough???? ;)
