Goodbye Weekend:(

It's Monday which means I'm back at work and the babies are at daycare.  Each day that gets closer to summer I crave more time with Paige and Owen.  I look forward to not rushing in the morning and lots of play time.  Saturday I was out of the house more than usual.  I met with Tere (twin mom) for coffee at her house.  I left O&P with daddy and her babies were napping so we had plenty of time to visit.  It's so nice to talk with someone going through this fantastic experience as well.  After that I headed to Tracy's house for a purse party.  I spent more money on a purse than I ever have, a whole $40...  After that it was home to get ready for a date.  Nana came for a sleep over and we went on a date, shopping and dinner.  We wanted to see a movie but after seeing a long line with decided to look for a tv stand instead.

Sunday was a lazy day at home.  The weather turned cold and windy so getting out was not something we wanted to do.  Nana helped me organize the house a little better and now there is a little more room to move around all things baby. 

Now lets hope that the work days go by fast and the evenings slow...  Next weekend sis and the kids are heading this way and we may go get pics of the kids taken.  Looking forward to it!

I beg and plead...

Please stop growing!  My babies are growing way too fast.  I need to find a magic bottle or sponge to soak this all up.  I tell myself everyday, "cherish this time. remember this moment forever." We have two of the sweetest little babies and I can't get enough of them.  I love their little faces, the way they smell, and their sweet little voices. 

Yesterday walking with Carla and Mateo, Carla was saying a word in spanish to Paige, she then explained that it meant "little doll" and I agreed.  Pagie has the longest eye lashes, blue blue eyes and chubby little cheeks.  I still can't believe that we made something so beautiful. 
Then there is my little Owen who also has very long eye lashes (must be from daddy) and chubby cheeks.  Owen also has the sweetest little smile that makes we want to cry...Best Babies Ever!

Back to routine...

So last week Jon, Derek and Papaw Joe were all here.  Jon for the Death March and Joe to visit and help out while our daddy went to Phoenix for work.  Papaw, of course, was again a huge help!  He feed babies and mama very well.  I think I ate more veggies last week than I have in months.  Hopefully we can keep it up now.  The plan tonight is baked potatoes and broccoli, yummm!

Dan had a good time in Phoenix, mostly because he got to hang out with Alex and Nathan.  I was a little jealous but I don't think I'm ready to be away from my babies for any extended amount of time and I don't know when that's gonna happen.  Dan picked up some cool gifts for the babies (pirate octopus, a stuffed turtle, and "The Grouchy Ladybug" book). 

It was a good week and with Papaw here it was much easier than I had anticipated, but I'm happy to have our daddy home and getting back to our routine. 

Yummm!

Friday after visiting the doc we gave the babies their first taste of real food (rice ceral).  Owen seemed to like it a little more than Paige but both got more on their bibs than in their bellies.  It was a fun first and next week I can't wait to puree up some fruits and veggies.  The idea is to make our own baby food so we know what goes into it and maybe save a little money. 

The doc appointment went well. Little Owen is a little over 13 pounds and Baby Paige just over 12.  Dad had the hard job again of holding the babies while they got their shots.  They both cried a little at first but calmed down pretty quickly. 

Have I mentioned how competely in love with these little babies I am! 

SPRING BREAK!

It has been a very full Spring Break and we still have three days that are sure to be just as eventful as the week has already been.  Started out with a visit from Julie, Rocky and the kids on Friday evening.  Saturday Ross and Rocky headed out to hunt Orax and I woke up feeling awful.  Dan and Julie talked me into going to urgent care where I was told I had strep and was given antibiotics.  Lucky for us my sis was here and I was able to spend the entire day in bed resting up...  Was not easy to not love on my babies.

Sunday I was feeling better and was able to enjoy the day..  We spent a lot of time outside. Dan did some yard work and Julie, Jalie and I just enjoyed hanging out with the babies in the warm weather.

Monday I headed to Cbad with babies in tow.  We just got back today (thursday) and it's nice to be home but I'm gonna miss being with my sis.  I helped her with her massive laundry pile, we organized her closet, made hair bows, irrigated her land, attempted to teach Jalie to ride a bike, ate naughty cbad food, and played lots with our beautiful babies.   Looking forward to the summer and spending a little more time there...

Tomorrow Uncle Jon and Papaw get here.  Jon will be doing the half death march and Papaw is coming to cheer him on and help out next week when Dan heads to Phoenix for work.  Busy little bees we are!

New things!

Gonna attempt to take both babies to my mommy group tonight.  All have promised in the past to help out and it's a very nice bunch of gals so I have high hopes of a successful time!  Now just to get the diaper bag packed and bottles made..  While I do that Owen and Paige both practice their rolling over which they can both do!  Next is getting back on their back...  Now we are in trouble:) 

Germs!

Not sure who started it, but we all suffered last week... All four of us had a cold that lasted a good couple days causing us to miss work and more importantly Isaac's grad/birthday party which I was super bummed about.

It wasn't easy taking care of my sick self and TWO sick babies. I did pretty well until the end of the day when I just wanted to crawl in bed. Luckly the sickness did not prevent the babies from doing their normal thing at night, which is SLEEP!
