My world as I know it

Well it has taken me 7 1/2 months to blog about my life. Crazy huh?





My world has been a true blur and whirlwind since that special day in November. I'm probably going to back blog over the next month or so to tell their story. For now I'm going to fill ya in on a typical day at my house and what's been going on this summer while mommy's off from work!


7 months:


The boys eat every 4 hours, they have a jar or 2 or veggies at lunch and either cereal, oatmeal or meat and fruit in the evening as well as bottles obviously. They are just now as of this week sleeping through the night!!! Whooooo hooooooo. You have NO idea how excited that makes me. We have come so far from those every 2-3 hour round the clock days! The sleep in their own cribs now, but as soon as they are up they are touching. Both love their bath time. They just kick and smile. These two look and act nothing alike, but they are truly connected. It's amazing to watch. Luke is sitting up and crawling all over! He finds me in the house wherever I am, such a momma's boy! Monte is sitting up and rolls all over to get where he wants, but is happy just laying too. He has 2 bottom teeth too. They take little cat naps throughout the day and love to play with their toys which always end up in their mouth. Drool is part of the outfit for both boys nowadays.


This summer has been a blast! They LOVE to go, but they LOVE to just play at home too. Luke and Monte are such good babies. Whatever we do, or whoever we are with, they are just happy almost all of the time. We have been to Hawaiian Falls every week, thanks to our great KiKi for helping!! We have been to my cousins wedding, which they were adorable in their sweet outfits. We go to Target every few days and the mall. We go to see our sweet friends Wyatt and Weston and play too. Our next adventure is to Galveston next week. I'm excited to spoil the boys and see how they like the ocean for the first time. As you can imagine, time is limited. I do promise to blog more now and keep up as best I can. Happy summer!!!!

Let's play catch up!

First things first......yes, twin boys are on the way! It was quite a nice surprise and is God's little miracles. We were able to have these boys on our own!!! If you don't know our background, this is truly amazing. We are very happy to be expecting Monte Charles and Luke Bryant sometime in December. There have already been bumps along the way, but we are overcoming and God is in control.....always!!! I'm in love with these 2 boys already.
Tankster is good, growing and keeping me company this summer. We went to the beach in July and we took him. WOW is about all I can say. He LOVED the waves and ocean. I have never seen him so happy and tired! It was fun to be around all my family. Lots of games and giggles.
It's been a summer of great baseball....Rangers are rocking and rolling which makes me happy! I have been able to go to a few games and enjoyed it. But the most amazing game was when me and the twins were selected as Fans of the Game! We were on tv and received a goody bag. There were over 40K people there. It was pretty darn cool. I'm hoping for the World Series...not too much to ask right???
All in all, it's been a great summer and back to school to start a new, fresh year.
Many blessings to you all and keep praying!!!
