Superman is Finally "3"

Corbin (aka Superman) turned 3 last week and we had all the partying we could handle! We had to have Superman everything and so let the following pictures tell the stroy. BTW we had 2 parties for Corb, one with my family at our cabin and another with the DeMilles at our house.

1st Trip

We went on our first little trip with the twins and they did considerably well. We went up to my parent's cabin in the Uintas for 3 days then Blake went home and back to work and the kids and I went and stayed at my Mom and Dad's new house in Syracuse for 4 days. It was really FUN!! It was so nice to spend time with my Mom and Dad and to have an extra pair of hands around during the day! Thanks MOM I Love You!! We got to do some really fun things. We went to a dinousaur park where the boys just had a blast! Then the highlight was going to this water park in Roy that my kids just loved and can't wait to go back to. And then on our way home we stopped in Sandy at this aquarium and the kids were so thrilled to see all the sea life. Needless to say life has been quite boring since. Here are a few pics of all the fun things we did.

When it Rains it Pours

So as if carrying twins for 9 months, and being on bed rest, and then having to deliver two babies wasn't enough - I then 5 weeks later had appendicitis and had to have surgery to get my appendix removed. I worked so hard to not have a C-section and then had to be cut open anyways! Now I just recently found out that I have mono! Trying to care for 4 kids, and 2 of them newborns on top of all this has been a challenge! But I have to say I feel more blessed than ever to have such healthy children and such amazing family and friends! We have been well cared for! So thank you to all who have been there for us these past 4 or so months!! My trials seem trivial in comparison to what others endure. So we have had an outpouring of trials, an outpouring of blessings, and an outpouring of love and support!!

Blessings (plural)

So we blessed MaKelle and Daxton on July 6th and it went beautifully! Blake did an awesome job and all of our family was there. Very memorable! Dax wore the same blessing outfit that Brock and Corbin wore and MaKelle wore my blessing dress which I thought looked pretty dang good for how old it was. (Thanks Mom!) It was a fun but busy day! Here are a few pics of the day!






THE WHOLE FAM



This is what we did when it was all over. It was so cute that Corbin crawled up on Blake and fell asleep!

Big Belly

As I was looking through some pictures to post I came accross the picture of my pregnant belly taken the night before the twins were born and I couldn't believe how big I was. I dont remember being that BIG!

4th of July

We had a FUN 4th going to the parade, being lazy, going to Blake's cabin and of course FIREWORKS! We were all so worn out by the end of the day that we almost needed to take a day off just to catch up!
