I can't believe the girls are going to be a year old. getting ready for their birthday party
is exciting, and sad. Halloween is today since it is midnight. :) Be excited for pics!

My girls are nuts. nuts. and I loooove it.
Emery is so sassy it is ridiculous, and she is really getting good at fake crying.
Evelyn is so funny, she has a silly sense of humor, she makes me laugh.

They are the best parts of me, but even better.
Thank God for them and their health.
:)


Emery has finally, I repeat finally started the crawling process. I was so worried because crawling helps develop the "reading" part of your brain. It can also be early signs of learning disabilities. You can tell she is smart but boy I was stressing out. Then all the sudden after trying so hard with her to stop "carpet swimming" haha, she started the army crawl! Ev is getting really good at standing and walking with help. Pretty soon, I am going to be in deep deep trouble. haha. I will post a video soon, it is being dumb at the moment. I'm off to TRY and sleep.

Ev is famous!

Bath time...

Is a challenge! Let me tell you, At first when the girls were little, I bathed them separately, then I started bathing them together around 6 months. Then I stopped when they started splashing so bad that they would choke on it. I have recently decided to starting bathing them together again because they play so cute together, and it saves time! It can get pretty crazy, When i get them out I have to let the water drain then take them out one at a time. It is a big chore for me actually. And I don't have many bath time pics so i decided i should get some before they get really big. They are nuts in the tub together, they always laugh at each other and splash one another, So although it is kind of a pain it always makes me giggle. And although sometimes I want to pull my hair out and scream, I really am grateful that I have twins. They have a best friend and it is so amazing to watch them grow. :) I'm a lucky mama.



Ev HAS to have both sqishy balls, one in each hand.


Cute Em always has so much fun in the tub.


And the most adorable picture EVER! :)

Birthday.

So those of you who will be getting invites to the girls birthday party. I am a procrastinator. And it has seemed to sneak up on me. I am sending them out today. The party is Saturday the 1st and is at 1:00 pm. So heads up! We are doing it for Grandmas and Grandpas and a few of their play mates. And their girls cousins that are here in utah Makenna will be greatly missed! If we invite aunts and uncles of mine and derek's we would be in over our heads. So if you don't get an invite please don't be upset or sad. We still love you all.


Also I posted some pics of Melissa and her family. Click here to check them out!

check it. yo.

one word. insomnia. It is officially back in action. I used to suffer from it severely. And obviously pregnancy clear it right up, then having babies you take all the sleep you can get, but the past few nights. I can't sleep. So here I am at one in the morning writing this stupid blog, I have no tea in my house and I am super bummed. No milk at the moment either, store trip asap. I could go for some warm milk right about now...and yes I still drink it. it helps me sleep. I love it. random i know :) Anyway new pics of Melissa and her family. Click here to see em.

Good night?

Oh no! And oh yes! And Sister!

The girls got an early birthday gift from their twin friends Dylan and Nina, They live in upstate Ny... Hopefully they will get to play together one day! Thank you Nicole that was so very sweet of you guys! They love it!
I love this new toy it is so cool, play music and has little balls with animals in it they spin around!

Taylor and I had sisters night last night, she was finally able to pencil me into her busy schedule!
We play clue and Guess who! It was really fun! Tay always makes me feel so young, I think we both act like we are 10 years old when we are together!
Tay really doesn't play guess who very well, it was pretty funny!
Awe.

Thanks for playing with me tay! I had fun! I love you and the girls love their Auntie Tay so much! You are such a good aunt...Thank you.

100!

This is my 100th post! haha. I'm a nerd I know. Well I was tagged and I am supposed to tell some things about the girls you might not know....

Evelyn:

Let's see... Evelyn is very funny. She jokes around with me, she fake laughs and makes faces at me. It is very entertaining I have a feeling she is going to be a pro a the ugly faces like her mom :) Two days ago she came over to me and took my harmonica and put it in my mouth to play. I thought it was so cute!!!

2. Ev is much more needy than Emery, and whiny... I think it is cute, but I have a feeling it won't be for long... haha

3. Evelyn likes to touch. not cuddle. just touch when you sit on the floor with her, she will put a hand on your leg. so cute i love it. She will cuddle only when she is sleeping and it is usually with her daddy. yes, I'm jealous.

4. Ev picks on Emery. I don't think she means to hurt her but i know she teases her on purpose. She will e eating a snack and crawl over to Emery dangle it by her mouth then take it away. She does this with toys too.


5. Ev has just started watching t.v. sideways. If you know me you know that I do this and have since I was a little girl. The eye doctor doesn't know why, but a deaf friend brought to my attention maybe it is to hear better? It is really weird I do it when I am talking to people and at the movies.I caught this yesterday. hahaha






Emery:

Emery... Where do I start. She is going to be the death of me. She is so strong it is ridiculous. It is scary sometimes because while you try to change her or wash her face she pushes you so hard that in oder to do it you almost have to use all your strength which could hurt her. She has always been really strong even when she only weighed 2 lbs. The nurses and doctors in the NICU were always impressed...She gets it from daddy I'm sure. :)

2. She not only is strong but feisty to the core. She will yell deeply and let you know how serious she is it is so funny when she gets mad...she clenches her fists and everything.

3. Emery doesn't really like to cuddle either she is always too busy looking at everything and taking it all in. I have a feeling she is going to be my artistic, passionate one. I think the reason why they don't like to cuddle is because they were separated at birth, I don't think a lot of people really think about that... Normally twins are in the same cribs together for a long time. And they weren't so they got used to being apart and having their own room. This actually makes me sad. I wish they like to cuddle with one another more. :(

4. Emery is a little swimmer. She will kick in the water. She won't crawl still either. Instead she swims on the carpet...well tries to. Although it is really nice she isn't crawling yet, I am beginning to worry!

5. She loves the camera. When i get it out and don't take her picture she gets mad at me!
My lil model...or photographer??

Day of birth.

I had such a good birthday! Thank you everyone for the wishes! I went shopping and out to dinner and dancing with friends! I got more Gucci II parfume. It is my fav. and new clothes...and flowers from my mom! And I must say my favorite gift, no offense to anyone is my new necklace Syd gave me. It is a mini honer harmonica! And it plays. so amazing, I keep a harmonica in my purse and have for years to pull out randomly and play, it is a Honer as well! So cute! I'm in love. I have such amazing friends and family. And I celebrate my birthday all week. haha I'ma brat. Tmorrow night we have dinner with nana and papa martinez, since they were gone. MMM.
special thanks to Grammy Ann and grandma and grandpa great for watching the girls for me. I love and appreciate all you do. Tonight Meg and I went down the street to snap some shots right before it got dark. It was so cold so we only got a few. We had fun though. To see them click here!

My pretty girls.

In less than 24 hours I will be 23 years old. This past year has been so difficult and rewarding. My girls are the best things in the whole world to ever happen to me, and what little miracles they are. Today we just hung out at home like always but I wanted to play outside for a bit before it gets too cold. Yay Fall! It is the best time of year! Maybe that is why I have been inspired, that and e.e. cummings. I am writing again. Finally, feels like forever. I used to write everyday, the words would pour out of me, and then I got pregnant, Maybe that means my girls will have all my creative juices? If you want to read was has spilled out me GO HERE. :)

this day 23 years ago.

i fell from the sky
and landed on a
side chalk walk
stop.

and when I opened my eyes
I saw my future self
I am exactly who I am supposed to see/be.


happy birthday to me.

The Joy of Twins.

Now Evelyn is sick. Goodness, I think the best part is that while I am holding Ev downstairs in the chair and my arm is asleep from the shoulder down, Emery starts crying upstairs in her room...And Ev just fell back asleep. Sometimes I just want to scream. I am delirious today. It is lovely. :)

Poor baby. Her little cough is so sad, And holding her is much more difficult at night because she is a squirm bug, and likes to sleep spread out or on her tummy. And she weighs 7 more pounds than Em so when I hold her she sweats. haha


As long as Emery doesn't get sick again, I will be happy. It is really difficult considering they share EVERYTHING.

Also from the last post I should have put this one instead, I can't stand to hear people brush their teeth. It gives me the heebie jeebies. I can't watch toothpaste commercials. Even thinking about brushing my teeth does it. The only way it won't bother me is if I am actually brushing my own teeth. I have to stop talking about it, I have goosebumps.

Anyway I thought that was funny.

My birthday is in two days! yay!

11 months and Tag.

Rules: link the person who tagged you. Mention these rules on your blog.Tell 6 UNSPECTACULAR Quirks about yourself and tag 6 fellow bloggers.

I was tagged by Devyn unfortunately haha

1. I can't stand flem in the throat. I don't drink lemonade or eat skittles because they are flem causing. I hate Macy gray and Rod stewart because they sound ike they need to clear their throats. If I hear Macy gray speak or one of her songs, I will plug my ears and run away. If a friend dares to joke about her and try to put on her song I will punch them in the face. I kicked someone out of my house once for singing one of her songs.

2. I love popping zits too, and blackheads. My own usually. But when I think about it kinda makes me sick.

3. I have OCD really bad with certain things. But I have done very good at training myself to get over things. For instance the number four for some reason. I hate it. I think it is evil and bad luck. If I had four pills left in a bottle i would take the fourth pill out set it down take the 3rd pill out and take it, then put the fourth back in and shake it up, so as if it never existed. I wouldn't pump gas at pump four or check out at isle four, before i probably wouldn't have even typed the damn number so many times. In class if i was in group four i would ask to switch groups. I dated a guy once whose birthday was 4-4-84, we broke up. :) Also with Locks I used to have to check them three times each even if i knew they were locked I felt like if I didn't someone would come in and murder us. It was bad I felt like if I didn't do certain things someone i loved would die. If I sit in the back seat it has to be on the passenger side, and that is one i still do. also fyi i found out later that in chinese numerology, the number four is considered evil.

4. I have bulimia nervosa, I haven't thrown up on purpose for a long time. And it is a struggle. People always say you know that won't help you lose weight. DUH, that isn't why most people throw up, it is a control thing. a relief. I guess this isn't a quirk is it? but it is unspectacular for sure.

5. If someone farts, I have to smell it really quick, because I hate being surprised by the fart. Like unexpecedly smelling it, I would rather just get it over with if i don't have a choice.

6. I have to be right. I will argue until i prove my point. if i am not able to google it, i will call someone so they can. If I am not sure I am right I won't argue. I hate to be wrong and it ruins my day.


Ok done with that! I can't believe my girl are going to be a year old in a month. it is insane. Emery is feling much better. Still has a runny nose but is doing good!





They thought the beanies were so funny. So cute. have a good weekend ya'll.

Oh my gosh!
