Halloween Night 2009

Halloween 2009
We went to the Orchards home for some snacking and then we all went trick-or-treating. The kids got tons and tons of candy! They were all very hyper from the sugar rush. Keri and Jory-Monstors, Aeris-Dorothy, Gavin-Superman, Corbin-Tiger, Landon-Frog

The new arrivals

As you can imagine I've been very busy and exhausted so this is the first time I've had a chance to update my blog.

The babies are here! The boys were born by c-section around 8:30 am Dec 29, 2008. Corbin Lee is one min. older than his brother, weighing 7lbs 7 oz and Landon Jory weighed 6lbs 9oz. They are both very healthy babies. Aeris, of course loves them and is a big help. She always hands me diapers and wipes and loves to hold them. Gavin also loves them but isn't as enthralled with them as Aeris is. Gavin did bring a baby to me while I was in the kitchen... Holding him by his head and shoulders and saying, "baby is crying". I ran as fast as I could and rescued the baby.

My mom and brother Isaac came to visit Jan 25 2009 for about a month. It was so nice having her here. I don't know what I'm going to do when she leaves.

Santa Claus is coming to town

This is Aeris's ballet outfit that she wears almost every day. As soon as she gets home she changes into her dress up clothes. It's very rare to find a picture of her in jeans and a shirt. She's all about dresses, considering she's my only girl...I'm glad she likes dresses, her nails done, makeup, etc.

Aeris told Santa she wanted a scooter for her and a scooter for her brother. I thought that was very nice to think of Gavin also. Gavin was not into sitting on Santa's lap. I can't blame him, sitting with some old, stranger with a huge beard would scare any 2 year old.

Pregnant with twins

Yes, I am still pregnant. I am 37 weeks today. I am very thankful that this pregnancy has been so easy. Jory and I joke that since the pregnancy has been so easy, that these babies are going to be quite a handful.
I haven't had any morning sickness, not too much back pain. Every once in a while I take tums, but really I have nothing to complain about, besides the chubby face:) For the most part I sleep pretty well except for my 1 or 2 potty breaks in the middle of the night.
I am so anxious to meet these little boys. They are both still transverse (laying sideways). He said you cant deliver these babies vaginally if at least one isnt head down so.. Today I just went to the doctor and set up a c-section. Im of course very nervous but I will just be grateful to have two healthy babies. Dec. 29th is the date so please keep me in your prayers.
I guess we should put up the bassinet soon, wash the car seats, and swings. I always wait to put everything up because I just get too excited, not to mention all the Christmas stuff is taking over our house right now.

First snow day!

Aeris and Gavin loved playing in the snow.
This was right before we left to go to church. Gavin is of course eating the snow.









On our way to school Aeris had to stop and make a snow angel. Then she wanted to take my picture making a snow angel....but as you can guess, I said, "no that's okay, maybe tomorrow."

WE are family

Some people have been asking for family pictures. As you can guess, it's very hard to get everyone looking the same way, with their eyes open, not to mention a smile might be nice.
These are a couple of the best ones even though I think I look fat in them and Jory thinks he looks nerdy....can't make everyone happy.
