Latest Project

Well, today was one of THOSE days. One of those days filled with crying and fits and non-napping children. Also, my pumping schedule got off and although all 4 kids were bathed, fed, read to and in bed by 9:45, I had to stay up until midnight to pump again. The joys :) Well, the good news is I got my whites not only folded, but also put away. Then came the fun part. Hooded towels for Case and Crue! (who needs clean dishes anyway?). Here are the finished projects:

Both finished towels:

Not the best pictures, but you get the overall drift! Pretty simple, but I needed something that could be made from start to finish, including clean up, in 45 minutes or less. They will keep my babies warm and dry anyway!!
Also--speaking of those smallest babies of mine...they are smiling so much now!! Especially Case.

Case & Crue

I promise I will soon get some pictures of my other crazies on here too. They just don't sit as still as these two :)

Newborn Pics of Case & Crue

So, now that Case and Crue are almost 3 months old I am getting their newborn pics posted :) They were done by a girl named Micha Wixom from Shuttergirl Photography in Blackfoot. She did an awesome job and she was so patient!! It took 3 hours and I honestly didn't think we'd get the pic in the carriage toward the end, but we did! They may not ever appreciate it, but I do :) It was funny~we couldn't use any of the carpets or blankets more than once because they peed or pooped on every one!! ha,ha You know, the only trait my kids get from me is my lips, but I'm glad it's a very strong gene, cause they are pretty cute on all of them! They had just gotten out of the NICU when these were done so they were just over 2 weeks. Seems like yesterday....

Love my boys!!!

An Afternoon Out

So, for the most part we stay indoors at this house these days. It takes me so long to get us all ready to leave the house after I feed and pump that it's time for babies to eat again! Well, we've had a couple of pretty warm days recently for this time of the year and I've had a couple of out of control kids so I have ventured out for a walk/bike ride the last two days. It's been a little chilly, but the bundled babies couldn't even tell and Haddyn and Stetson were finally able to burn off some energy!
Observe:

More to come...

I promise we are alive and well. We are wrapping up with a good dose of the flu in our house, but will be back up and running soon! Christmas and the New Year were low key, but enjoyable and all of our babies continue to grow and grow. I will be back with a post soon and with some pictures...I PROMISE! Hope everyone out there is well and still believing in me enough to check my blog :)

My Minions!! Halloween 2011

I had these great ambitions and plans to make Halloween costumes for Haddyn and Stetson like I do every year, but having twins 2 weeks before Halloween put a little crap in my giddy-up. They both wanted to be minions from Despicable Me and I had gone through all of the trouble of buying everything for the costumes and making my husband and children consume a close to lethal amount of cheese balls, so they were going to happen! So, we all came home with our two beautiful new additions to the family the night before Halloween with no costumes made. Hmm...
Well, Scott being the talented and sweet husband that he is knew I wasn't going to be able to feed, change, pump, etc and still get two little minion heads constructed in time...so he took over!! I instructed and he constructed. We made a great team, but he did all of the work! They turned out soooo cute! The best part---under $10 a piece!! Look close...Stetson's "bucket" is an upside down Winnie the Pooh hat. HA!
The kids had fun, but poor Stets was not feeling well and he and I actually ended up in the emergency room that night afraid he had pneumonia. Stupid evening medical clinic. That's a story for another day, but let's just say a woman who delivered twins two weeks before and JUST got her babies home from NICU does not deal well with being told her 2 year old is in respiratory distress and needing to be admitted to the hospital when in fact, his lungs are completely clear and he merely has a upper respiratory infection...AKA--a cold. Awesome. Let's just say we won't be going back to that clinic!
Anyway, I loved the costumes and I'll include a cute pic of the babies too, even though they didn't dress up ;)
Crue on Left, Case on Right---Look at those double chins and bellies!! The other day Scott was talking about how funny it is that they have gained all of their weight in their face and belly and still have chicken legs and I said, "It's cause they're Moulton's!" ha,ha I'm so funny :) Well, I'm sure glad they are Moulton's. I think we make pretty darn cute kids myself!
