It's a...

GIRL!! Today we went to find out if we were having a boy or girl.. I was totally convinced it was a boy. But I was wrong! We are so excited to have another sweet girl join our family. Sawyer was a little bummed when we told him at the Doctors that it would be another sister and not a brother.. He kept saying " No a brother" I think he will love her just as much!
It was so fun to finally find out and see her moving around.. She kept putting her hand and arm up by her face and it looked like she was sucking her thumb.. So cute!
We are happy she is healthy and can't wait till May comes when we get to actually meet her!
Now onto getting Sadie in a big girl bed and re arranging her room so when the time comes, baby Sophie can join her in her room! :) I have pictures from today's ultrasound and I will try and get them added soon, but I wanted to get this written for those of you who had not already heard the news!

What's new at our house!!

Well again it has been forever since I have posted anything.. I am still with out a computer with "Windows" so I am not able to add any pictures or anything cute and fun. Lance rigged our computer to be able to at least use the Internet and check blogs, facebook etc. But that's about it, so annoying but we hope to have that other part fixed soon and be able to post hundreds of pictures that I have been waiting to post! :)
Anyway, we have been super busy these past few months and trying to get in as much family time as we can.
Sadie started back at Dance in September ( at my Mom's studio) and loves going every week, I have the cutest pictures and videos of her doing her dance. Sawyer gets a little jealous I think some times and wants to be down there dancing with her. I mean why should she have all the fun, Lance wished he was old enough to put him in some sports but we will just have to wait for that.
My little niece Ireland is also in her Dance class and they are so much fun to watch. I decided this year not to teach, so my Mom and sister teach their class. I am helping babysit my sisters two younger kids while she teaches both days. It has worked out nice and the kids love playing with their cousins!

I can't believe that fall and the cold weather are already here, I loved the summer and being able to be outside with the kids. But I am also looking forward to the Holiday Season and having family in town and all the yummy smells! :)

Our biggest thing that has happened in our family is that we found out we will be adding another baby to our family! That's right, surprise to us as well, but what a great one!! We had wanted to start trying late fall for another bundle of joy and it just happened a little before we thought it would. I had been feeling a little different and was "late" and Lance kept saying you are pregnant I know it, and I just kept saying there is noway I am.. I mean it took us 3 years and fertility help to get our two sweet twins and I just thought for sure that there was noway it could have happened that easy for us this time! But I was wrong, Sept 11th I decided to take a test and I for sure thought it would say NEGATIVE.. But when it didn't I was so surprised and excited, though I didn't want to get my hopes up to much if it for some reason was wrong.. ( I took 3 more test after that to make sure) haha
I called Lance and told him I had taken a test and he said, you're pregnant aren't you?? I said yes, and he was very sweet and told me Congrats babe, I am excited for baby number 3! I was a little scared to tell him, only because he was still not sure if 3 was in the cards for him. But after I knew he was equally excited it was a lot of fun.
So now I am almost 11 weeks and things are going great and we are due May 19th, Lance's 31st Birthday!! We are very excited and feel very blessed. We have told the kids and even though I am not sure they fully understand, they will still come up to me and I will say mommy has a baby in her tummy can you give it loves and they think that is very fun!
So now if I can just get over the nasty morning sickness and be able to enjoy the pregnancy more it will be great! We are very excited and can't wait to find out what we are having, which won't be till December and that seems so far away right now.. But I will keep you posted and we are all doing great and hope that you and your families are as well and that you have a very Happy Halloween!!

It's been awhile!!

Well seeing that my last post was 2 months ago I thought I better post something! We have had a great and busy summer and I can't believe that it's already fall! I am loving the cooler temps, but no so sure I am looking forward to the colder weather just upon us!
Anyway, I have not been able to blog since the kids and I came back from our Oregon trip! Our computer got some weird virus or something and we have not been able to turn it on.. :( We have tried everything under the sun and I think we may now be heading to buy a new computer.. We were able to recover all my pictures, thank goodness since I was dumb and did not back anything up.. That will never happen again. Lance was able to get them on a External hard drive so at least we have all of those.. I was a bit freaked out about losing all our pictures clear back from when we got married. Anyway, so I have not been able to download any new one's from our Oregon trip and our Camping trip that we took with my family so those will come at a later date, but I just wanted to type and give a update on us for those who do read about our family. :)

We were able to get the kids rooms painted, finally! I have been wanting to do it since right after they were born but hey, it only took us 2 years to get around to do it! Lance had a hole week off so we took advantage of it. They look so cute and Sadie calls her's "My princess room" we did her's in Pink and it turned out cute and we did Sawyer's in a blue color and they both love it. Sawyer was a bit worried that his would not get done, since we did Sadie's first and then did his a day later. He kept saying "My room paint" and we had to keep telling him that we would for sure get to his the next day.

It was kinda crazy doing it with two toddlers running around and wanting our attention. Lance ended up painting it all on his own after I taped the rooms because they just did not like the idea of Mommy being away from them I guess. But he did a good job and I am happy they are done now! Pictures to follow with the next post as well. :)
That same week since Lance was off we were able to take a few days and go up to Park City for our 6th wedding Anniversary, my parents took the kids and it was really nice to have some time just the two of us, that does not happen a lot and after the busy week of painting we had it was wonderful. We ate out and shopped and even did the Alpine Slide up at the Park City Resort. I still can't believe it's been 6 years and now 2 kids later.. I love when we get to spend time together and just talk and not have the kiddo's begging for our attention, even though we love them to pieces, it's always good to have some quiet down time with just us two!

Anyway, I guess that is all for now.. We loved our summer and the trips we were able to take, we missed Lance on our Oregon trip, but being with my family and visiting my brother and his family was great. We had 25 people in my brother's house and they were all so sweet to let us use their bedrooms and house for all that we needed. Their 3 boys were great and all the cousins loved hanging out together. And I loved going to "Forks" for all you Twifans with some of my sisters, brother and Mom, we had such a great time and as my sister in law wrote on her blog, "We all had a great time giggling our way to forks".. I seriously don't know when the last time it was that I laughed so hard that my sides hurt. It really was a fun time!
Well, I will close this post now and hopefully soon I will be able to get all my fun summer pictures on here for you all to see!

Sadie and Sawyer's 2 year old pictures!

I finally got back the kids pictures. I hate having to wait, so lame.. Anyway I think they turned out cute! Sadie really wanted nothing to do with pictures or the photographer this time. Last time she was all smiles and Sawyer was the shy one, so I guess they switched on me. Sawyer loved throwing the ball to my Mom ( thank goodness she was there) I would have gone crazy trying to get both kids pictures taken with out her there. So here they are and I am happy with them. :) They love to hold hands, whenever they are walking or riding in the car or when one or the other gets scared they will always grab each others hands.. It is so sweet and I hope they will always be best friends. ♥



My cute 2 year olds!
My little princess
My handsome boy
My 4th of July babies! I have made it tradition the last few years since they have been born to have them have a picture in their 4th of July outfits, it started the day we brought them home which was the 4th of July and since they were born on July 2nd I think it's fun. I hope it will continue until they won't let me anymore.. Hopefully when they are much older.


 Hope you enjoyed them. It's crazy that I have 2, two year olds now!

Our 4th of July!

For the 4th of July we went to the Parade in West Jordan and the kids had fun.. I will say that the Parade is getting boring and it seems all it is are people and they're Political signs. Kinda annoying! Anywho, the kids had fun and that's what matters right? Lance had to work since they got Monday off instead of Saturday. So we went to hang out at my parents house after the parade till he got off work and came down to meet us.

Then on Sunday we had a BBQ at my parents and since my brother in law had to work that day we went down and did fireworks Monday night. The kids really enjoyed it, until Sadie got burned by the Sparkler! She had done probably 3 of them and decided that she wanted to do one more so my Mom was holding her and she kept telling her not to touch it and sure enough Sadie touched it! She freaked out and we ran her inside to see the damage! My mom felt horrible, but it was not her fault at all. Sadie was just a bit to curious. So we got it cleaned off and got some medicine on it and then on Wednesday of that week the kids had their 2 year check up so we were able to have the Doctor check it out and she did have 2nd degree burns so they put some Silverdine ( not sure if that's the correct spelling) on it and wrapped it and we left that on over night and then by the next day we took it off and now it's almost all cleard up and with no scaring. I was not sure I wanted them to use the sparklers, but we let them anyway and maybe next year will be different. But I am sure the kids will still want to use them. We are just glad it was not worse and it's all better now!
Anyway, so here are some pictures from our 4th. Enjoy!

Sadie showing me her bandage from the Doctors, the nurse was cute and put the same color of wrap on it as her outfit. Sadie liked it after the nurse went away! She was not very happy and she had just given her a shot as well so she really wanted her to leave her alone. Both kids were very brave that day at their appointment.

The Twins party at the ZOO!

We had a fun time at the Zoo this year for the twins party. My cute nephew Ryker who turned 3 four days before my kids also shared this day and party with my kids. My kids love Ry ry so it was fun to have it together. My sister Michele and I did party bags for all the kids and we put Animal sunglasses, Popcorn, Animal cookies and bubbles in them and it was so nice to just beable to come home to a clean house and not have to clean up after a party. My kids were spoiled as always and we Thank the family members who came and gave them lots of fun presents!

So here is the pictures from the morning of their Birthday and at the Zoo. Enjoy!

Sadie and Sawyer checking out their new bikes from us! (And yes, we are still working on getting rid of the binks, don't judge me!) lol

Sadie loved it as you can see!
As did Sawyer, his has a little compartment in the back and he loves to put all his cars and stuff in it.
I love this picture! She had the best time driving her babies around
Eating their birthday breakfast, Cereal! I asked them if they wanted Eggs, Pancakes or Waffles and all they wanted was Cinnamon Toast crunch. Atleast it made it easy for me!
My parents bought Sadie this cute Vanity and Sawyer this BBQ and they brought them over so that they didn't have to take them to the Zoo. They also got Sawy a Lawn mower and Sadie a Vaccum among a bunch of other awesome presents!
Sadie in her new Birthday shirt, she would not look at the camera
Sawyer in his, and I am not sure why his pictures are blurry!

Getting ready to go into the Zoo, it was super hot when we first got there. But luckily by half way through it was cooler.

Sawyer checking out some presents. He was really not into it so I don't have many pictures of either of them opening presents this year, they were both just wanting to run around.
My sister Michele and family gave Sadie this cute back pack that was full of stuff for her dolls and she wanted to wear it the rest of the day. It matches the baby bed and carseat that my parents gave her. So here she is with my niece Makele.
Sadie riding her bike when we got home.
Here is a closeup of the cute vanity set up in her room
Sawy's bbq
I had bought this cute stroller for Sadie a month or so before and then my Mom found the other things that matched with the colors and so it's all so cute! And I love the Play & Pack it is just like a real one.
And here is Sawyer showing me his lawn mower.
