Easter

Easter Sunday was fabulous! We woke up and barely made it to Sacrament meeting on time and then after Sacrament we drove down to my Uncle Mark's house for the rest of the Easter festivities. It was a great drive with no traffic so that was an Easter blessing in itself. Because of the no traffic we arrived an hour early so we stopped at a park in their neighborhood and took some easter photos!!! We even managed to get a decent one of all of us together using the timer so I would say the was an easter miracle!!!! Uncle Mark heated the pool so we had a great time swimming! Aunt Roberta stuff the eggs with fruit snacks and money so my kids were in heaven! Here are some pictures from the day!

Park on friday night

On Friday after dinner and before movie night we took the kids to the park!!! We let the little kids play on the playground for about 30 minutes while Zach and Zander played caught! Zander has gotten really good at throwing the ball and actually catching it with his glove. He is getting so big and grown up. There was beautiful lighting at the park so I took a few pictures of the kids. After the kids were done playing we walked Lily ( the dog) over to the dog park so she got to "play" also!!! Lily loves going to the dog park and so do I. It is fun seeing all the different breeds of dogs all interacting with each other. For Friday family movie night we watched Tin Tin per Zanders request. I think it was a bit to old for them but oh well they seemed to have a great night anyway. I made homemade peach cobbler for dessert and then we called it a night. The kids did't want to watch the movie until it was dark so we had a late night!

What appears to be my first set of fraternal twins by most people who don't know us!!!

It is really me

There is why to much that has gone on since Halloween and could not possibly get caught up on this blog! On Dec 18th we found out we were pregnant with baby number five! I was super excited Zach not so much but he was obviously ok with it. on jan 20th we went in for our first ob appointment and Zach actually came with me. In the past that would have never happened. We talked with the doctor a little bit about my history and my desire to have a doula and natural birth this time around. When we were done chatting she started the ultrasound. Almost immediately Zach and I looked at the screen then looked at each other and then at the doctor. We knew right away that it was TWINS!!!! The doctor then said oh my gosh it is twins!!!!!! Zach and I pretty much laughed the rest of the appointment straight. I think it was laughter from shock, excitement, nerves, and pure giddiness for what was to come. We are now 21w2d and I am about the size I was full term with the other four kiddos. We are all super excited for this amazing blessing that is to come. Their names will be Brigham James and gabrielle Ilene we will call them Briggs and gabby for short. Briggs is currently head down on my left side and gabby is up higher and transverse with her head by my belly button and her butt on my right side. They ar moving and kicking all the time now and I love that more then most things. I am updating this fom our iPad and I am not sure how to add pictures so I will have to get on the computer to put pictures up.
