Doctor Appointment

I am trying to get my BLURB book all caught up so i can get it ordered so hopefully i get that done this week, I cant sit at my computer for long so i am slacking big time!!! So when you read some of these next blogs they are for my scrap book/ journal so they probably wont be all that interesting!!

I went to the perinatal doctor on the 30th just to make sure everything is going great with the twins and it is!!
We found out that for sure we are getting 2 girls and that they are each in their own sack and have their own placenta so they are not identical but that's ok! I hear and read that you can have alot more complications when they are identical and the healthier they are the better!!
It has really sunk in that we are getting two babies and our family of 3 will be growing to 5 overnight, that's crazy!!! Right now we are just more or less trying to decide about a what we are going to do about a vehicle and what baby stuff we need two of! We are just trying to get through the pregnancy and keep the girls in the oven for as long as possible and that all we are really worrying about for now!!

Christmas

This year Christmas was alot of fun. Grace really knew what was going on and loved every minute of it! She was so excited all of Christmas eve and Christmas, it really did make Christmas feel more like Christmas!

Christmas Eve my family came over and we had pizza and just watched Grace entertain us! They brought over all of their presents to open in the morning and Grace and Grandma shook all of them! This Picture is of Grace after about the 10th time she shook all of them and scattered them through the living room!!
Ever year we always got to open one present on Christmas eve and it was always new PJ's I loved it so that is what we do at our house too!! Grace was so excited about her Tinker Bell PJs as you can see!!! She was posing for Jerrica and me by the presents, she was really bouncing off the walls! Some how Jerrica got to be Graces horse and Jerrica did whatever Grace wanted her to! So we did her hair all crazy, we had a good laugh! (she is going to kill me if she see's i put this picture on here) I can never sleep in to long on Christmas morning, i guess i really am still a kid!! So i was up by 6 and i decided to get in the shower before Grace got up. Kyle came in about half way through my nice hot shower and told me that Grace was in there playing with all of the presents so i hurried out to find her making breakfast in her new kitchen that Santa brought her! She loved it and we have had breakfast and tea party's every day since Christmas!! She was singing "santas coming to my house" while she opened the rest of her presents!! My family came over about 8 and we opened all of our presents, it was really nice to have them all over here with us!! Grace had to get every little bit of paper off of all of the boxes, we all got spoiled and had alot of fun!! My Dad gave Grace this 4-wheeler!! It is a real one not electric, Grace really likes it but i have to drive on the back with her!! I really like it too, it is pretty fun to drive around, Kyle gets on his big 4-wheeler and me and Grace follow him on the little one!!We also got to talk to Vance, that is always another thing i love about Christmas we get to talk to the brother that is out on the mission! He sounded like he was doing great just freezing!! After we talked to him and spent a little time with Kyles family we all loaded up and went down to Kyles Grandmas for the Leavitt Christmas party! We ate some yummy soup and just talked, there wasnt too many people there this year but we still had a good time! After getting home from all the excitement Grace laid on the couch with Fancy and was out!!! Later that night we went to The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, It was a really good show, i cried like a baby but we all really likes it even though it was like 3 hours long!! Santa also brought us, but really me, a Wii, Kyle was not to happy about it cause he says they are dumb! I really didnt care and so Santa brought it to us anyways, after setting it up and making Kyle play it with me he has sat there and played it ALOT!! It was a really good investment now we just have to get some fun games to play on it!! We had a really nice Christmas and loved spending time with our familys I hope everyone had a great Christmas too!!!

SNOW

I am trying to get back in to blogging and stay caught up so you get two in one day!!

On Sunday we went for a little drive to see the snow!! There was quite a bit still out there, so you know that it was a really good storm that came through!! Grace really likes the snow and it was hard to make her leave!! I really wish we lived somewhere where it snowed alot but we dont and i am trying to get use to that!!
Anyways here are some pictures of the day....

Kyle made me this snowman and said that it will be me in a few months!!! It will probably resemble me quite a bit!!

Christmas Time

We've finally got some of our house done, the wood floors are in and the carpet in both rooms is done! There it only little things to finish up in that part of the house! It is so nice to have Grace in her room with a real bed again, she sleeps so much better and loves sleeping in her big girl bed!

This is what i moved out of both rooms for the carpet guys!!! We sure have alot of crap stuffed in these two rooms, now it is all nicely organized and not strung all over my house!!!

Here is Kyle finishing up the floors, they look so good and he did such a good job with all of the little jobs that he has done! Anytime Grace finds something broke she always says that her daddy will fix it!!

For the 4 Christmases we have had together we have got 4 Christmas tree tags and not one year have we used them!! The first 2 years we just went to a tree lot, last year we didnt even get a tree and this year we borrowed a fake tree from a friend!!! After Christmas i am going to buy us a nice 8 foot skinny tree that we can set up on thanksgiving and take down on new years with no mess!!! We are both excited for that day to come!! Our tree turned out to be pretty enough and Grace has helped me decorate and redecorate it so it has been fine for this year!! You can see how good the floors look to in this picture too!!
On Saturday Luke came down to have dinner with us and then we decided to make a gingerbread house!!! It was alot of fun doing it but with Grace decorating it, it made it alot more fun!! She ate more candy than she put on and Luke helped her, he is so fun, i love when he comes down!!! Kyle was helping but then this is where he ended up, home alone came on and that was the last we seen of him!! This is the finished project, there are little teeth marks in all of the trees and lots of candy missing!! Grace really enjoyed making it so that will definitely be apart of every Christmas!!

It's a...............

Alot of you already know our news and some of you still dont believe me so here is the ultrasound picture!!

Well If you have seen me lately you would think "wow she sure is getting big fast"! You would be right, i am getting HUGE!!!
We went in for our ultrasound to see if were getting a little boy or a little girl and the guy told us this really funny story about how he had a couple come in and he got to tell them they were having twins and they had no idea and freaked out! Well we laughed, then he started our ultrasound and the first thing he says is "congratulations guys, your having twins"! We of course didnt believe him till we looked up on the screen and seen two little babies fighting each other!!! So yes two little girls are what we are having, yes, TWIN LITTLE GIRLS!!!
We are still in shock and cant believe it but everything looks good for now and we go to see the specialist on the 30th of this month so we will keep everyone updated!! I also went and seen my doctor today and asked him how long i had till i would be on bed rest and he says as long as everything goes good it wont be till the middle of March so i still have a little longer before i am to big and miserable!!
I just had to get on here and write a little something about our good news, hope everyone has a great Christmas!!

Baby Belly and Advent Box

Well I have posted all of November in one day! I got really behind and i have had a little time last night and today so i got it done!!!

At our house Christmas starts on the 1st of December, well at least it is suppose to!! I was a day late this year but i was a present short so it worked out really good!! Last year Nancy and Penn gave us our own advent box and Grace Loves it! She woke up yesterday morning and seen that there were some presents in the box and got really excited!! She gets to open all of the presents even though some of them are for me and Kyle! We read a story and i sing her a song out of our 24 days of Christmas book and then she gets to open the present! Yesterday she opened a coloring book and today she opened some candy!! She is So excited for Christmas to come, everyday like 50 times she tells me "Santa is coming to my house" I have been trying to tell her that is is Jesus's birthday too and so we sing him Happy birthday alot!! You can see how excited she gets in the 2nd picture, i love it and it makes me excited for Christmas to come, but not to soon i still have shopping to do!!
Since i haven't posted in awhile i thought i better update my baby situation!!! I am 17 weeks and if you would have seen me a week and a half ago you couldn't see i was pregnant, then all of the sudden i got the big belly!! I try to wear tighter shirts so you can tell I'm pregnant and not just getting really fat!!! We go in on the 17th for our ultrasound and we are really excited!! Everything seems to be going really good, i am sick, nothing like i was but it is for sure still here!!! At my last appointment i had lost weight but I'm certain at this next one i will have made up for it!! I had to take this picture myself so it looks kinda funny but i had to get one up here to show Steph!!

Thanksgiving

This year for Thanksgiving we went with Kyles side on Thursday and my side on Friday! It was Grandma Leavitts year so we just had to go down the road, pretty much everyone in the whole family was there, some came later but i think everyone made it down at some point in the day!! Everything was really good and its always great to see everyone and catch up! Grace had a lot of fun playing with the little kids and i hardly seen her, she was to busy playing to really eat anything too!!!
Friday we had Thanksgiving here at my house and it turned out really good, i made the turkey and ham and everyone else brought everything you eat on thanksgiving, we had a ton of food here and just enjoyed each other! I have never made a turkey or really helped make a turkey so i was really nervous about it, but the cooking went fine it was the cleaning of the turkey that i about killed over!! I made Kyle help me cause you have to reach in to the bird and get the nasty neck and bag of yuck out, so he does that and me and grace are watching, I'm about to throw up, Grace is up there trying to touch the "fish" as she called it and kyles just laughing!!! That will forever be his job when it comes to thanksgiving!!! After i Cloroxed my sink and everything around it we got to cooking! Both Jerr and Jakell came over and helped me all morning, We had alot of fun and it turned out to be a good Thanksgiving!!

This is the only picture i got, Jakell passed out on the floor, no one dared to wake her up so she slept for a good few hours!!
On Saturday we rode out to sams camp, Kyle calls it the mountains, but it is nothing of the kind!! We shot bunnies and rode around, then met up with kyles parents, brothers and Laura and had lunch! Then they went for a walk to shoot more bunnies while me and nancy watched Grace sleep!!! We were gone all day but it was really fun!!

Kyle and Luke shooting at some bottles, Kyle has my cute purple gun, you cant really see it!! Grace was SO tired, she just ran and ran till we got in the truck to go for a little ride then she was out!!! You cant really see how dirty she is but holy cow she was covered!! She really likes to go "shoot the bunnies" as she says!!! Kyle has done a really good job of turning her into a tomboy!!

Anniversary weekend and Veterans day

We decided to go to Laughlin for our little anniversary trip and it was fun, but there just isn't much to do there!
After driving for like 4 hours we checked in and they said that there was only a two bed room the first night then we could switch rooms for the second night, we said no!! So when we got there the beds were like full sized beds and we sleep on a king so there was no way we were going to sleep in one bed so we pushed them together!! I was going to get a picture but i forgot my camera in the car and when i had it in the room i didn't get it out! It was a sight to see cause kyle slept on one side of the two beds and i was way on the other side, It was like our 23rd not our 3rd!! We drove around and pretty much just slept and watched movies, i was asleep by 9:30 both nights and took a nap! There was a little shopping center and we walked around that for awhile too!! We had alot of fun but 2 nights is to long to be away from Grace!! We were both ready to leave and left by 8:30!

I didn't take many picture but here are the 3 i did take, none of us together!!! We really do love each other we just don't like pictures!!!

This is the hoover damn bridge thing, it was pretty cool to see, i don't think i would dare drive over it cause it is so high up in the air!! When we went to the Grand Canyon on our honeymoon they had just started this so in 3 years it didn't seem like they got to far!!! This is from our room, at night it was really pretty, if it would have been warmer and i would not have been sick i wanted to have dinner on a river boat! There were alot of people out on the river even though it was pretty cold!!! This is a real life tranchula, we took the long way home out by the lake and they are migrating so i made kyle get out and show me one! I never knew that spiders migrated but they do i guess!!! We got back Monday from our little trip and Tuesday was Veterans day. They do a big parade and so we of course had to go and watch it!! Grace really enjoyed it, she loves to see the cheerleaders and drill team dance and really loves to go and get candy!!!

My crazy Grace

If you have came to our house lately you will have probably seen grace in one of her crazy outfits! She only likes to wear her princess skirts and hat, she rips her hair out and runs around like a homeless girl!! Some days i will fight her and get her looking all cute but then she goes outside and comes in a mess and a half, I guess she is just at that age! She sure does keeps us laughing and always running around behind her!!

Here are a few pictures of some of her crazy days...

One of her princess dresses that is way big for her but she still loves it!
This skirt Melissa gave her and she wears it about everyday over her pants and cries when i take it off of her!
I had to go somewhere and Grace really wanted her toes painted so i told her to take it to kyle! I didn't really think he would paint them but when i got home she showed them to me and they looked really good so i had to take a picture!One of the many hats of Grace, she wears these and poses and makes me take pictures of her!
She likes to wear my socks and shoes alot too!! Grace insisted on having a piece of bread so i sat her at the table and turned around to pick up a few things, the next thing i know she is saying "there's a mess mom"!! This is what i walked into, she really likes to make messes!!

Halloween

It has been awhile since i last posted, i actually started this post 3 days ago and am just barley getting it done!
Not alot has been going on, we are staying busy with life and pregnancy and just trying to make it threw the days with this new time change! It is safe to say i hate it, Grace is going to sleep later cause she naps later, but wakes up earlier! It doesnt help that i am tired all the time and i dont do much to discipline or try and make her go to sleep, that just more work that i can take! Here are a few picture of what has been going on the last little while.....

Grace was getting ready to go somewhere, I dont know where she was going. I walked in to the living room to find her like this, all strapped in and ready to go! When we were out carving our pumpkins the cat was out on the fence walking the balance beam, Grace thought that is was really funny! Grace really loves her pumpkin, she would hug it then tell me to take a picture of them! I drew the faces on mine and Graces pumpkins, but Kyle wanted to draw his own, i made him carve all 3 of them and they turned out really cute, well 2 of them! Grace had alot of fun drawing on them and touching the "yucky" as she called it! Holding up the yucky stuff for them camera!

This is about the best picture i could get of her in her costume, she was not being to helpful in getting a cute picture, but she loved the pumpkins!

Kyle finally held her so we could get a picture of her, she didnt know what to think of the trunk or treat at first but after she realized that people were giving her candy she liked it!

Penn brought his pig skull and was showing everyone!! He was pretty proud of it, i thought it was disgusting! Can you guess what one is Kyles, it the ugly one!!

Grace really seemed like she enjoyed Halloween and so it made it fun for us! it got me excited for Christmas cause she will really know what is going on this year, kids make everything funner!!

Next week Kyle and I will have been married for 3 years, It has gone by so fast but it seems like i have never been without him! This year we decided to start a tradition of going somewhere just the two of us! We have only left Grace one other night, and we left later at night and was home early in the morning! This time we are going for 2 night, i have alot of mixed emotions about this and hope that i can make it the whole weekend with no anxiety attacks!
We arent going far, just to Laughlin but there seems to be enough to do! I told kyle i wanted to be in bed by 9 and not to be woke up till 9, we'll see if that happens, but it has been about 2 years since i have got to sleep in so i think that will be great!

Picture Tag

OK here's the rules:
Go into your picture files and open your 4th folder and download the 4th picture onto your blog!!! Write your memories of the photo.

This is a picture of Grace dancing and singing for us up at Fish Lake this summer! I love this picture cause it brings back all of the fun memories of our week vacation in Marysvale just doing nothing, it was great! Also It makes me laugh cause Grace would climb up on all of the rocks to sing and dance, she is a show off, i love it!

Thanks for the Tag Lauren, now i tag.....
T'nisha, Jolee, Kelsee, and Steph!

Oh the joys of motherhood...

Yesterday was my first official doctors appointment, I really hate those first ones! Everything was good and he told me i felt like i was further along than i thought, so that's a good thing! I also had to get 6 things of blood taken, i hate that too! I told the lady that i passed out pretty much every time and so we went and laid down and she just started poking always at my arm! She only had to poke me twice but she also blew one of my veins and rolled the other so my arm has some pretty good bruises today! Other than my doctors appointment, Me and Nancy took Grace to get some picture taken, they turned out really good and i'm excited to get them back!

I just was thinking about motherhood and how my views of it have changed as Grace has grown up! When she was just a baby i was scared to leave her and when i did for the first time i cried, even though we went to the 9 o'clock show and she slept the whole time! I also was freaked out about her eating sugar, peanut butter or pretty much anything they tell you not to give a baby. Other people didnt listen and gave her whatever they wanted and i would come home and cry to Kyle about it. Whenever she would spit up on herself i would hurry and clean it up and change her and never let her sit in her wet diaper. I listen to mothers to be or girls that dont even have kids in there near future and they talk like i thought. Now that Grace is older and i dont feel to good, she eats what she wants, even off the floor (I mean i dont feed her on the floor or anything, but if it falls i dont freak out, i just blow it off!!), and she is dirty, alot of the time and doesnt get clean till i bath her! I just think it is funny how life with a 2 year old really changes every thing!

When i was cleaning the house the other day, Grace was not helping! So i gave her a cupcake that we made thinking it would keep her happy till i loaded the dishwasher, but this is what really happened!!! So after loading the dishes i cleaned the floor!!

Grace is going to be a cute little fairy witch thing for Halloween and she loves the hat so she wears it around the house, Jerrica got her dog a witch costume so we put it on Trudy and Grace loved it, the cat not so much!! Grace sure does love MaKala, today she had to be right next to her and when i would go close she told me "mom go away this is my baby!" So she babysat today, she is going to be a great big sister!!
