Unable to Catch up

 I haven't updated this blog since I was 11 weeks along with out twin girls. They are 2.5 years old now. HA. 

Guys...I guess that sums up what life is like with twin toddlers and a 9 year old too. We are busy!


I will try and add some fun pictures in another post of the girls first 2 years of life, but right now, lets catch up on the family.

Jace: Left work at Wells Fargo last year! Has been working for Reece in their HVAC division. He likes what he does, gets good perks. and works with good guys. We are happy for the change. He was just recently released from being ward financial clerk after about 4-5 years, no new calling yet. Fell in love with the minivan we rented in Montana and traded in my Pathfinder (sob) for a Chrysler Pacifica for our growing family. He's ecstatic.

Nash: is in 4th grade, definitely has a form of ADHD, is doing alot to help out around the house, is the girls favorite, and in fall baseball currently and getting better each week. We sure love that boy! He will have a part in our primary program as well as being in a small group singing a special song.

Becca: 2.5, talking nonstop, busy! She is super dramatic and silly. She learned how to climb out of her crib last week and so her mattress is now on the floor in her crib and she is TICKED she cant get out! She is normally loud and vocal about what is happening and will tattle on Evie. LOL

Evie: 2.5, gibbering alot, has some sentences and lots of words or 2 word fragments. She is a little developmentally behind becca, but not by a ton. She talks so soft we call her princess peach! She is quiet and mischievous and does things she knows she shouldnt. LOL

Animals: Thor our cat is still alive and kicking although (especially since we brought the girls home) he tends to hang out in the living room away from all the chaos.

We adopted a Lab/Retriever Mix puppy in April 2023! His name is Castle. He is high energy and rambunctious and loves to chew! The girls have a love/hate relationship with him. Thor just hates him. LOL

Andrea: I am alive! Thats my biggest accomplishment lately. I'm the primary chorister and I'm getting ready to have my 1st primary program next month! I now am having dreams about it and in the dream, it doesnt end well for me. lol We started fertility treatments again right after the girls turned 2 in March. I got pregnant in May after our transfer, but almost immediately miscarried. We decided to jump back in and in August we had another transfer. I found out I was pregnant with TWINS again! (i started immediately praying for help...4 kids 3 and under sounded so hard and scary!!) We heard their heartbeats and saw their little gummy bear bodies! We were so happy. Scared but happy. We found out at 9-10 weeks that Baby B's heart had stopped and I lost them. It was such a weird gray area to be in. I was so sad, but also so happy seeing baby A and seeing how they were growing. So weird. It helps to know that I will have Baby B in heaven and they arent truly gone from me. I am almost 13 weeks pregnant (2 days) and in my 2nd trimester. This pregnancy is kicking my butt. I am so sick and throwing up daily. I am so tired and with the summer heat this year, my poor girls and I have just been holed up in our house. I wasnt allowed to go swimming either until September and that STUNK because the pool started cooling off and the girls got too cold too fast. I've had to shelve my photography business when the girls were born/1st year and now again because i'm so sick. I miss my clients.


I'm hoping to add more entries. I dont think anyone actually reads blogs anymore, and that is TOTALLY okay with me. I used to print the book out each year and that was my journal. Nash has read through my whole blog that is printed to this point and he has asked me when I was going to do a new one. So, he is my inspiration. :) 

I love my husband, my kids, my animals, my home, my job, my calling in the ward. I am so tired all the time, but its just my season I guess :)
