Halloween 2009

This was by far my favorite Halloween. We spent lots of time with family and had a great time with our kids. Nana and Papa's ward Halloween party was Friday night followed by pumpkin carving at my sister Lindsey's house with all my family. Saturday night we all got dressed up as the Flinstone's and spent some time with Bailey, Olivia, Marcus and Amy and my parents trick-or-treating. All the kids looked adorable! Later that night Rich's family had a big party with dancing a lots of food. It was a busy weekend, but worth it! Hope everyone had a great Halloween.

Happy NICU nurse's day!

I just wanted to say thanks to all our friends at the NICU. Thank you for being so wonderful and taking such great care of our babies for the 3 months that we couldn't. YOu are all so great at what you do. You not only helped Danica and Kaimen through those months but us too. I can't belive they are 14 months old now. They look nothing like what they did back then, starting out at a little over 2 pounds. They wouldn't be where they are now without your love and care. We love you all and hope to see you soon!

We love the pool

The only thing she's missing is her drink.

It looks like 2's a crowd.

Kaimen and his stretchy pants

Okay so you're probably wondering why I would do this to my little boy. There really is a good reason for it. These are Kaimen's new therapy pants. He is still having some developmental issues and needed a little extra help controlling his legs. He tends to spread his legs too far apart and it makes it hard for him to learn to crawl and get up on his knees. They are sewn together in the middle so it keeps his legs together. They look silly, but his Physical therapist recommended he wears them when he is playing on the floor with his toys. They seem like they help, but I can't help but laugh when he is wearing them. Love you my strong boy, keep working hard!

Our much needed vacation

Let me just say I love Cali. Me and Rich spent 3 days there by ourselves and had a nice relaxing time. My in-laws watched the twins while we went to San Diego. I cried when we left at the thought of leaving them. Besides the NICU, this is the first time I've left them. Our friends have a condo in San Diego right across from the San Diego temple that they were nice enought to let us stay in. Thanks guys! It was in the perfect location about 3 miles from the beach and right around lots of restaurants and shopping centers. We relaxed a lot, went to the beach, shopped, and ate more than we should have. I actually slept in past 7, which was a beautiful feeling. It was so great to spend time with just my hubby. This was the first trip we've been on since before I went into the hospital when I was pregnant with the twins. I hope to go back again soon.

Happy 25th Babe!

The birthday boy with his sweet batman cake.

Once again the Cake Titan's came through with an awesome cake.

This cake was gone in about 10 minutes. Yum!

My boys...this kid sure does love his dad.

Rich just celebrated the big 2-5. We spent the day together, did some shopping and got his free birthday meal at Joe's farmgrill. I'm really lucky to have such a great husband. He does so much for me and the kids. Love you babe Happy Birthday.
