My big girl baby is growing up!!

Today I realized that I had never held my youngest to fall asleep. Today she decided that she needed to be with her mother and fall asleep in my arms. It was so nice. It was also very hard with the twins in my belly. I don't think that I will be able to do that for a while, but it was so nice to do it.

Sophia in my arms today. She fell asleep.
Nine months ago at christmas.
Isn't that so cute!!
I love you!!

I want my mommy!!!

Well as you know Matt has been taking Saphrin to gymnastics. Matt wanted me to go today but I am just to tired to do it and I'm very afriad that I'm going to have one of my dizzy espoides in the YMCA. I just can't sit down when it is a parent and me class. When Matt got there with Saphrin, she didn't want to be there with her father, she wanted to be there with me. She keep saying "I want my mommy. She always takes me." It is nice to be loved. It has also been a hard day of homeschooling. I hate when Griffin says that he doesn't feel good. I don't want to judge he and say no you are not just do your work. I want to be kind, but where does kindness and letting him do want he want come together. I told him it is just doing to be like school. If you don't feel well that is fine you will just have double the work to do tomorrow. That is what he would get in school. Well I need to go clean my house. It is a tiring job with 3 kids. What am I going to do with 2 more kids on the way? I'm CRAZY!!!!

Saphrin

I didn't know that it started this young. She wants to call Marissa. What age does that start calling friends. Maybe it is because I call her mom. She just loves talking on the phone. She has a play phone that she calls Marissa and Morgan. How cute?!

Date night

Last night Matt and I got to go out on a date. OH MY GOODNESS!! I couldn't believe it. Matt's mom watched the girls. We need the time out!! We went to a 50's diner for dinner. Then we went to the all knowing Walmart. We wanted to get some Christmas presents bought since we have a little money right now. We got Saphrin and Griffin all done. All we need to get done is Sophia and the boys. I don't know what we will get them. When we got back it was so cute. Saphrin said mom... dad your here. She repeated it over and over. You would think that we weren't coming back. It was so cute. I love my kids!!

Sophia

Sophia went to the doctor for her one year check up. She was 24 lb 4 oz, 29 1/2 in long. After waiting 1 1/2 hour the doctor came it. She was great. All they wanted us to do is get some test, lead and iron. It came back ok. We are so lucky to have her with us.

ABC Preschool

Today was the beginning of ABC Preschool at our church. Two of the ladies in our church taught this week. We are having it the 2nd and 4th Thursday of the month. Saphrin I think did really well. While she was in there Sophia and I played in the nursey. She had loads of fun. She didn't have to worry about her sister take stuff away from her. She was having a great time. Melanya also came in to play with her later. They get along for now. Their sister don't get along the best. After ABC Preschool we just sat around and talked for a good hour. That was fun. I love talking!!

MAMA!!

I think my Little Sophia said MAMA!! I feel so good that she said it. It makes you feel good, like she loves you and knows you even though she crawls to you in love all the time. She is really starting to show her personality. She doesn't like peanut butter and jelly if she thinks that you have something better. Which I usually don't. I don't know what I'm going to do with her when I have the babies. She is a clinger. She loves when I walk into the room... she lights up and then cries. She wants me bad. It is quite funny. I Love My Kids!!

My life is too busy!!

For the next month I think that our family has something almost everyday. Sunday is church, Monday is gymnastics, Tuesday 2nd and 4th is MOPS, Wednesday is swimming for both kids, Thursday is 2nd and 4th is ABC Preschool with playgroup on the 4th Thursday, Friday has nothing planned but Matt starts his week back up, and Saturday is just boring because there is nothing on TV. There are appointment scattered through out the month. Sorry if I'm complaining. I do like to be busy but...

While Matt took Saphrin to Nastic (that is what Saphrin calls it) on Monday. They came home early because she didn't do very good. I'm glad that he did it. I don't think that I could of. Tuesday we had our second MOPS. Griffin was super excited. He loved playing with the boys. They also took a walk and got a muffin. He really liked that. Afterward I had some of my church friends over. They have kids that same age as mine. Saphrin still wants to hit everyone and me selfish. One thing that Matt and I need to work on with her. The thing that kills me is when they leave she has to give them hugs and kisses. It is so cute. They have a love hate relationship. Wednesday I took her to swimming. She is doing really well. I don't know that we are going to have her do swimming after October because of me being having the babies at the beginning of December. We will probably taper off everything then.

Happy Birthday Sophia!!

Sophia was born a year ago yesterday at 4:21 pm. We are so greatful to have her with us. She was in the NICU for 16 days. That was a really hard time for our family, but we got through it. We got her pictures taken yesterday also. They are so cute. I wish i could have bought them all. We had a party last night. Nana, Papa, Grandma, Grandma Weeze, and Uncle Brian, Uncle Micheal and family, and other family friends were all there. We had a great time. Sophia had a turtle again for her cake. She got alot of clothes which she needs and a couple toys. Thank you to all who helped us get through this first year!!

Getting her first taste.
Sophia realizing what it was. YUM!!
Going green with the celery too. I'm having so much fun!!

More Birthday Pics

She liked the juice cup more than her presents.
Here is almost all the people who were at Sophia party!!

Doc Appointment

Don't laugh. I'm big and have alot of fat!!

I went to the doctor today. I didn't gain any weight!!! My blood pressure was good 138/84. That is really good for me. The babies heart beat were 150 and 160. I asked him about my dizzyness and he said that I just need to lay on my left side because the babies are not letting the blood go to my heart. I am 25 weeks and 2 days but I'm measuring 30 weeks. I only have 11 weeks and a few day!!! Then my skin won't look so pretty. I will have a cut. :)

It has started!!

Yesterday we got our carpets cleaned. Oh My Goodness... they look really good. They really needed it, so I decided that I probably shouldn't be home with 2 little ones. We went over to my mother-in-laws. She has been off of work for a while. Today we had Miss Kathy over to do things with the kids. She comes over once a months and does fun things with the kids. Saphrin did matching things today. She did really well. Tomorrow Matt has his scope. We will have a night with no kids!!! I'm really excited about that. My mom is take Saphrin to swimming tomorrow. I'm interested to see how it goes.

Ain't this cute!!

It is so nice then you children and playing well together!!

Next week!!! UGH!!

Everything is happening next it seems like. Matt, Grandma C, and Grandma W are all going to had some kind of surgery. I also have a prenatal appt. next week too. It will be a busy week. I also have been feeling weak and BIG. I'm sure that is because I'm having twins, but I feel huge. Maybe next week I will put a picture up of my belly. It looks so wonderful!!

A trip to see Nana!!

Last night Matt and Griffin had a bonding time. They stayed up late and watched movies just the two of them. We got up this morning and went to the hospital. Nana (Matt's mom) was having a heart catherazation (sp). Her husband was going to be up there and Matt and I thought that we should be up there too, so we dragged all the kids up there and had a great time. Papa was happy to see up. He really likes our kids. He takes them to get cookies and drinks. He is just a kid himself, just like his son. :) She came out really well. She was cleared. THANK YOU GOD!! We have been praying for her. I'm glad that she got that out of the way.

First MOPS of the "New Year"

Today started the new school year of MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers). I had been going to another MOPS about 20 mins from my house. Angie (my friend) said that she was not going to go that MOPS because of the gas price increase. I was find with that. I thought that I would just go over by myself. A couple weeks ago she found one that was in town that we could go to and they still had room left. I was super excited, so today was it. Matt works at night and doesn't get house til 9:30-10 am so I had to ask my parents if I could borrow there car, so my dad came over so I could take there car to MOPS. I was very nervous. I don't really like meeting new people. It is difficult for me. Everyone was really nice to me. Angie came too with her 3 kids. I had to take Griffin because I can't leave him at home. I thought that he would just sit and play his DS. They even had a room for him. I was very happy. Griffin really liked it too. The girls didn't seem to mind it too. Sophia was sleeping when I walked in. It was so cute. Griffin said to me when we were in the car coming house that he couldn't wait until the next MOPS. I really liked that. I'm really glad that he had fun. He has a hard time getting people to except him. I also found other people that were going homeschooling too. One of the ladies said that I should look into putting him back into school when I have to twins. I hope that we don't have to. We will do what is best for HIM!! So all in all we had a pretty good day meeting new people in the area!!

Daddy and Saphrin

I have not been feeling well, so I asked Matt to take Saphrin to gymnastics today. She did really well and I think that she liked her daddy going with her. I liked it also because with the time that they were gone Griffin and I go school done. All he had to do was complete his homework. I'm happy with those days. They seem to run smoothy. One of my friends came over today to visit. She has a one year old. Sophia didn't get to play with her much because she was a little tired. We had a good day over all!!

Fun Day!!

We had a fun day today!! Griffin had a shorten school today. We did English, Math, Handwriting, and a Spelling test. We also after Griffin got done with his school work went to a friends house and watched the new Mermaid movie. We got there and my friend's daughters started to watch the movie and Saphrin wanted nothing to do with it. She just wanted to play and have fun with the toys that they have at there house. That was really odd because she love Little Mermaid. I thought that she would sit down and watch it. Her and Griffin decided to and play with there toys.

After we got back from there house I decided to call the doctor. I have been feeling dizzy, short of breath, and weak the past couple week and have been concerned about it. I call and they said that they wanted me to come it at once. I went in, the doctor said that it was probably because of having twins. My husband hates it went I don't like what the doctor said about what I complain about, but I don't know it seem more than that, but I'm just the patient. They could only find one heart beat so they told me to go get an ultrasound. They boys were fine. I go back to the doctor in 10 days so I'm going to ask him more about it if I more eposides. I'm happy that I got to see the babies. My mom and mother-in-law says that I need to take it easy and not do anything. Yeah right with 3 kids and I love to go out. I will have to pick and chose what I do.

Struck out!!

My slackingness (doubt it is a word) hurt our family from having a good time. We were planning on doing to the zoo for a homeschooling workshop thing. I call this morning to make sure it was still on and you have to pre-register. I felt stupid. It never said anything about pre-registering for the event. I was kind of sad. OH WELL, so we decided to go up to Science Central. We got all the way up there and it was closed too. My husband was not very happy, so we just went home. On the way home we decided to stop at walmart and get some food. We spend alot of time in there. Griffin got his education today :) We will try to do better next time.

Swimming!!! EEK!!

Saphrin went to swimming lessons today with mommy. It is a parent and child class sponsored by Nana and Papa. THANK YOU!!! It was really funny. She was scared at first. She wanted me to hold her and for good reason, she has not really been in a pool that often. They did the wheels on the bus to get use to the water. Then they did some kicks in the water. It was hard for her at first, she didn't want to do it. Then one of the instructor came over and helped her. She did well after that. After that they had them throw a duck or fish. She did really well at this. She got a little daring with it. She actually wasn't attach to my body. After that they did ring around the rosy and they feel off the intertube. She liked that. Lastly they got the jump off the side. She wasn't to sure about it at first but learned that it was so much fun!!! I think all in all she did very well!! I liked it too.

Labor Day Weekend!!

We went to my cousin's house for Sophia birthday party along with a number of my family. She was so cute. My mom had gotten her a cupcake critter from Walmart. She got her a turtle. Her animal is a turtle. Saphrin is a duck, so hopefully I can get a picture off for you!!
