Let the countdown begin....

I say let the countdown begin but in all actuality I have been counting down for the last month now. As of today I have about 10 pounds of baby inside of me! What?!? The biggest any of the other boys have been is a whopping 6lbs 10oz and boy, can I feel the difference. Not to complain TOO much, but my lower back is constantly killing me, it takes me forever to get up from the couch/into or out of the car, and I now have a step stool by the side of my bed to help me get in and out. By the end of the day my feet have doubled in size and now just feel like they are bruised all over from the stretching. It's a good thing it's still sort of flip flop season because that has been my shoe of choice for the last few months. AND to top it off these little stinkers are both breech so I most likely will get to have my first C-section! Not excited about that.

On the flip side I can say that I am happy that I am still walking/waddling around and not on bed rest, the babies appear to be healthy and growing as they should, their room is pretty much ready to go and our basement is finished thanks to my hard working husband. The only question is are we ready for them??? I really don't know how else to prepare for TWO babies, we'll just have to wait and see. We all are getting excited to meet them though, how alike or different will they be and will one finally look like Jed? It's still crazy to me that I am having twins! Aahhh!

Anyway, I just wanted to do a quick post on the rest of us...Brek turned 9 a few weeks ago and has started the third grade with an awesome teacher that I know will be so good for him. Here is a picture of Brek's birthday cake that Jed made, it's a little hard to see but it is a putting green on a golf course. Jed wasn't very happy with the end result because according to him "he didn't have enough time." :) I think it looked great and Brek though it was way cool so that's all that mattered.


Kaden was 5 in May and has started kindergarten. He has seemed so much more grown up in the last few weeks, riding his bike to school and just talking about what happens there. He is such a happy little guy and doesn't let much get to him. Here he is with BrinLee on their first day of school, I didn't have anything to do with his outfit - he loves his Utah Jazz shirt.

Kyler can tell there is a change that is coming but I'm sure will have no idea what has hit his house once the babies are home. He is talking more and is being so loud at letting me know what it is he wants now. He loves loves his cars and will honestly carry them around the house with him ALL day long. Here is cute pic of him when we went to Lava Hot Springs last month, he can be so whiny at times but how can we not love him with a smile like this?


Jed's summer has been a rather busy one. He has worked so hard at finishing our basement not leaving much free time for him (or ME!). We did take some fun little trips this summer to Bear Lake, Park City, and Lava Hot Springs. Here he is with the boys just after tubing down the river at Lava.


When I look at pictures like this I just keep thinking to myself what is it going to look like in 3 or 4 more years with FIVE little boys in it? Yikes! We will soon find out...
