House hunting is... interesting. I think tv makes it looks so easy. House Hunters- pick from 3 houses. I could do that! But we did find a house we really liked... its just so scary. We have never owned a house, and had all those payments before. But God is our provider... not our jobs :)

So the girls are really starting to love each other. We are discovering Emmas the momma bird. She just seems to try to comfort Adelyn when she cries by holding her hand (or just staring at her) . They reach for each other now, almost like giving hugs. It's so cute. I can't wait till they can play together, and keep each other busy :)

We were blessed with the cutest bows today for the girls by a friend. Audrey Darlene Creations, check her out on facebook :)

 So last night I fixed the girls crib bumpers, so they are all up and running.. I love them. Definitely something I would not have found in the store!

So here goes a another hot week. I am gearing up for the fall, I can't believe summer is already almost over! Dance classes start just in a few weeks!

Long time, No post

So if you have been keeping up with my blog, I obviously haven't posted in a while.

It's just hard to get away, even for a few moments just to catch my breath. Babies are now 5 months old (WOW, I can't believe it!) and I wouldn't really say it's gotten easier, but they are doing more fun things that take your mind off the stress of it all. I love my babies, and they are the sweetest little girls ever. It's just REALLY hard. It would be easiER if I had a live in maid/help and no job with nothing to do. But that's not not my case. :) I want to do everything in excellence, and I can't stand it when I don't.


On top of that, we are starting the search for our first home. Yes, very exciting but also overwhelming. I pray that God leads us to the right house, with the right price. So say a little prayer for us. MY BABIES NEED A HOME!

Well last night the babies discovered each other and was having quite the conversation with each other. They were cracking up. Excited to watch them grow! I think I have a few gabbers on my hands!

ARE THEY NOT THE CUTEST?!

So that's all for now. My goal this week is to get dance the schedule posted. Lord give me time!

Great Weekend!

I had the greatest LONG weekend ever! :)

I was nervous about leaving the girls, but me and my husband went away for 3 nights to Texas. He was shooting a wedding in Galveston, so we got to see that, Houston, Dallas, and everywhere inbetween. It was nice to drive so we had a lot of time to talk and laugh.

It was so nice to spend time with him minus the stresses of hungry crying or tired babies. We actually got to talk about something other than when the babies ate last or slept last.

We had a great time and got to visit our favorite stores. IKEA :)
We went to the one in Houston, and then to the Dallas one. Although I was dissapointed because they don't carry the same things :( but we got stuff from both that we needed so it evened out.

We always come home from IKEA with a car load of items. This trip was filled with new furniture for my dance studio. We've been surviving with some outdoor wicker furniture for about 4 years now... and lets just say kids like wicker. My chairs have been picked to death :) But I am surprised they lasted THIS long!

I was so nervous about how bad I was going to miss the girls, but I actually said to Bryan that I felt like a bad parent because I really wasn't missing them as much as I thought I would. Bryan told me, "It's ok, your just enjoying yourself!" That made me feel better.
We were excited to come home and see them though. We got a text that day of this picture!

 This weekend we spent time swimming in nana and papas pool. The girls love to swim!

 And we also spent our first 4th of July as our own little family. (I say little because we are not outnumbered yet!) We had BEAUTIFUL weather. We walked to the Jenks riverwalk from our house. We walked through the sprinkles :) But it was just enough to cool down the temps, and it was just perfect!

 

The girls LOVED the fireworks. They just stared at them the whole time. I was holding Emma behind Bryan while he was laying on the blanket, Emma grabbed on to his hair TIGHT. She was like "DAD, YOU'VE GOT TO SEE THIS! I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS IN MY LIFE!"

On the actual 4th, we went to a friends neighborhood who was allowed to set off the HUGE fireworks right in front of their house. It was SO LOUD, but the babies sat outside and watched them till they couldn't any longer. They fell asleep on the laps of those who were holding them. I don't know how they could sleep through that! 

So all in all, I had a GREAT weekend! But now back to reality! Woke up, fed both babies, played with both babies, bathed both babies, and trying to put them back down for a nap. Whew... I'm ready for a nap. But I want to try to squeeze in a pilates video :)

Catch up!

I haven't been doing very well keeping this up, I never really get a moment when BOTH babies are sleeping!

So I am going to brag about my babies for a minute because they blew me away this week! (That's the whole purpose of this blog anyways!)

We have two big girl toys that we got out for them a few weeks ago. One is one of those jumperoos, and they other is just a big activity center you sit in. They were still not quite ready for them, so they weren't really enjoying them. We would stick blankets around them and they might stay there for a few minutes but that was all they could handle.

So Monday, Bryan put Emma in the activity chair that has a little piano on it. She just sat there as he pressed on all the buttons and tried to enterain her. (She is quite the observer)
So the next day I sat her in there, and she just started hitting all the piano keys! She learned from her daddy. This was the first time she has really reached for anything, let alone bang on all the buttons making them play! I was so amazed! My baby is growing up! :)

Then later that day I stuck Adelyn in there and she started playing the keys too! I couldn't believe it! Yes I took lots of video! :) It's exciting to watch them grow up, and kind of sad at the same time. But I am excited to see the little girls they grow into.

So that day my heart was BEAMING.



Today has been a good. Although, it's there 4 month checkup and I am not too excited about the shots... even though I'm not the one getting them. Wish us luck.. Mostly me though :)


I have mixed feelings about tomorrow, I am SO excited to get away and just be with my husband. BUT, my heart hurts to think that I won't see my babies for a few days. Especially after their shots, I just hope they don't feel bad. Last time only one of them felt a little cruddy the next day. I don't know if I can handle being away! I just hope they don't forget their mommy. I know they will be in good hands... and I know this vacation is MUCH needed and going to be great. I'm just going to miss them!! The main reason we are going is because my husband is shooting a wedding in Galveston. He's an amazing photographer, and I am very proud of him! www.bcreativetulsa.com/blog    :)

So keep me in your prayers! This is going to be a LONG, great weekend. :) I really am excited though...

My loves

So last night Emma was having a hard time going to sleep. Earlier in the evening she baptized both me and daddy big time. So we figured her belly probably wasn't feeling good. So me and daddy both went in to check on her. Daddy was holding her on his shoulder trying too burp her and could her her belly rumbling. I was going to get her some tummy medicine. I tried to squirt some in her mouth but I think most of it went down daddy's arm. :) So he turned her over face up to us, and she just grinned ear to ear, kind of like she was saying "haha, I got you both in here to play with me!" We both just started cracking up.

The girls are 17 weeks old today and growing fast! Rolling over and sucking their hands/thumbs like crazy. Emma is starting to laugh when we play with her. It's crazy to watch a baby grow! Right now Ade is laying in her bed, shes been up for a while, just entertaining herself, talking, and blowing bubbles.

I just love these girls to pieces!

Here are a couple pictures of the girls patriotic dresses!

Whew...

Well.. it seems like I have not blogged in a while, but I think it feels that way since I had a super busy week! At my dance studio we had a princess camp all week long. We get to have fun with all their favorite Disney princesses, but every day we also talk about a princess from the Bible! For example: What do Eve (the first princess EVER!) and Snow White have in common? They both were lured into eating an apple, both went into a time of sleep/sin, and then God had to send his son to save Eve, just like the prince had to come save snow white, SO THEY COULD LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER! Ok... thats my lesson plan for the day... :)

Some little goodies I made for my ballerinas to take home!

So, update on the girls...
It seems like this week the girls have just been on a fast track of developing and growing up! I can hardly stand it! They are really rolling over now... problem is, they like to sleep on their bellies. So everytime they roll over in their sleep, they wake up crryyiiinnnggg, we roll them back over, and they are good! :)
I can't wait till they learn to roll from back to belly! They are talking a whole lot, and I taught Emma how to blow her tongue. She learned it super quick, just as I was changing her diaper.

So one morning I was taking them to my moms to watch them and its all calm and quiet in the car and I hear a little noise behind me. Emma starts blowing her tongue! It was so cute. When we arrived her whole mouth was covered in slobber since she was practicing the whole way there.

Been working on some more bows.. have you seen them yet?

I have had a few orders for my bows, thats exciting! :)
Including the 4th of July bows!

This weekend our church does their 4th of July illustrated sermon. They are going to wear one of the cutie bows I made, and my aunt just came in town and brought an ADORABLE 4th of July dress for them. I don't this she even know I made bows that will match it!
So, OF COURSE, there will be some cutesy pictures coming soon! Stay tuned!

Well babies are napping, I guess I should be too!

SUPER DAD!

So this past weekend was JAM PACKED, and so is this week. We got a Princess Camp going on at the studio that is EVERY morning, and add that on to my regular weekly classes.. lets just say I need a day to recover. BUT, enough about me, this post is about my amazing husband who celebrated his first fathers day yesterday. Sorry for the late post, I have been busy!

So, first of all as most of you know, this was my first pregnancy. So My husband did a great job taking care of me and the babies. He came to every single doctor appointment, and we had one ever 2 weeks.  He was always there for me!
Then the day came where our precious girls arrived!

And what most of you don't know is that I was pretty sick that whole day. I was totally out of it, I hardly remember even holding the babies. I had a reaction to the meds they gave me, and lets just say, I felt HORRIBLE.
So! Super Dad to the rescue. He was the one to change their first diapers, and give them their first feedings. X's 2! PLUS, he had to take care of me. I know he was completely exhausted but he was just taking good care of his girls. Luckily day 2, I started to perk up and finally got out of the bed. I still wasn't any help though.

Ever since, he showers the girls with praise and kisses each day. Letting them know how loved they are. He does the over night feedings to let me sleep since I stay with them all day long, then he go works a full time job, PLUS is pursuing his dream as a photographer so that's practically another full time job.

He has a lot on his plate, but no matter how exhausted he is, he is always there for us girls.

Yes, I may not have our room cleaned for him, or lunch made, or a sheet on the bed for the past week (because Emma peed on it), but he doesn't ever complain. Hes the best dad, and wife a girl could ask for, and I love him very much.
