I just love these little guys! Life has been so busy and so fun these last few weeks! Time is flying so fast I wish it would slow down a little.

Ty, Josh and Luke

We are all doing really well. Better than expected actually! I'm loving it! Ty is a really good big brother. He's so loving with the "B's". That's what he calls the twins "B's" I love it! Christmas was fun, and fairly germ free. Ty and the Twins all got little stuffy noses, but we made it through without going to the Doctor! I am a bit of a germaphobe so I always seem to stress about my boys getting sick so I'm grateful that we haven't had any problems so far! The Boys and I are on a really good schedule which makes me so happy. I'm a very scheduled person so the more I can predict the better...I don't like surprises! Very boring, I know!

This is the life!!!

My Sweet little boys arrived on November 28,2011! It was very exciting! I went into labor at 11:00p.m. on Sunday night and called my Mom at 2:00 a.m. to come over and watch Ty. We got to labor and delivery around 3:00 and the twins were born by 4:45!! It all happened so fast! They were both breach so we had to have a c-section. I was 36 weeks exactly and they were born completely healthy. We are so blessed!! They both weighed 5lbs. 6oz. the doctors said they had never had twins weigh the exact same! My recovery is going really well! I feel so much better than I did when I was pregnant. I have energy, (even though I'm totally sleep deprived) I can get down on the floor to play with Ty, I can go up and down the stairs without feeling like I need oxygen, I can even sit and take deep breaths at the same time!!! AMAZING!!! I'm so grateful for the 3 babies I have! They would not be here without the miracle of IVF! I'm so happy that we kept going even though it was the hardest thing we have ever done!! All the heartache and tears were completely worth my three little blessings! I would do it all over again to get the same result!!

Daddy and Ty are both doing great!! Tyler has had a few hard days but he's starting to get use to his brother's. Brad is the best Daddy and Husband EVER!!! He never stops helping us! Marrying Brad was definitely the best decision I have ever made!! I love him so much for taking care of our sweet family! I know I couldn't do it with anyone but him!!
One of Ty's favorite things to do is vacuuming! He loves to push it around. He loves hot dog's but he eats almost anything we give him! He weighs 30lbs. and everyone that holds him knows how heavy that is! He loves to play hide and seek even when I don't know that's what he's doing. He loves to open doors! He plays by himself really well, but loves to play with kids as well (even though he pushes the other kids down. Sorry to all the kids that get pushed!!) He understands everything we say and talks all the time. He has his own little language that we are trying to learn, for example when he wants more of something he says meme. And he doesn't finish his words so we are left guessing. He's been in his big boy bed for 6 months now and sleeps really well most of the time. He fell out of it for the first time a few nights ago and the thump woke us up and we ran in to find him flat on the floor screaming...he didn't get hurt and went right back to sleep but it's a sounds that I hope I never hear again! It scared me to death. This is our little Joshua. He is the sleepy, quiet one. It's funny how you can see their personalities right away! He's so chill, even when we are being loud and crazy he just hangs out! Lucas on the other hand is a little trouble maker. He's the loud one and even though he's still so sleepy he has a way of telling us when he doesn't like something!
I went home a day earlier than the boys because they weren't eating enough. So this is the day we brought them home! I was so happy they only had to stay for one extra day!
It's been an exciting few months! I have a feeling it's just starting. I want to say thankyou to all the friends and family that have supported us through my pregnancy and these past couple of weeks! We couldn't have done it without you!!! We love you!!

Fall

2011-09-19T15:07:00.000-07:00

Our favorite season is Fall!!! Brad loves football and going to the U of U games! I just love the changing of the seasons. The air smells different, the leaves change color and this year the baby bump gets big really fast!!! It's so fun to feel the babies move! The babies are doing really well! I can't help but feel like I have a really long time until they are here. Maybe that's a good thing, I know life is going to get really crazy. My Summer has been so boring that I'm excited to have a change in our schedule. Ty is so much fun, He is a wild man! He loves playing outside and downstairs where he has some fun toys. It's nice to send him downstairs and listen to him play while I'm free to get a few things done! Brad has to travel a lot in the Fall. This year he has two more trips and then he's grounded until at least March!!! I'm excited to have him around a little more through the Winter! Here are a few pictures from the past few months.....enjoy!!

We finally made it to the Zoo! Ty loved it, every time we moved to another animal he would wave and tell animals "Bye". I'm so glad we went, I'm hoping to go once more before the babies come!

Ty loves bubbles!!!

Our little Utah fan!!

The Baby Bump at 24 weeks!!! I measured 33 weeks at my 24 week appt. These babies are really growing right now!!! It's pretty crazy how much they move. There is a definite difference in baby A and baby B! Baby A is another Tyler, always moving, total spaz! Baby B seems pretty easy going, moves a lot but He's much easier on me! It will be so fun to see if they stay that way or maybe we have two more Tyler's on our hands...heaven help me if that's the case!

TWINS!

2011-08-01T08:02:00.000-07:00

Exciting News!

After a few tries of IVF it finally worked!!! And BOY did it work, we are having twin boy's due December 25!!! We had a few trials along the way, but it was worth it!

After a miscarriage last year and one cycle that didn't work I was wondering if Ty would ever be a big brother. I'm so excited that he'll have two little brother's!

We've had a few scary moments the past couple of months, but things are looking better! I just have to be careful and take it easy, which is not easy for me to do! Brad has helped out so much, I couldn't do it without him! He is so patient and kind! He's been so supportive through all of my little (and not so little) breakdowns, I love him so much!

These are our cute little guys! This is at 15 weeks. As you can see they were very cooperative! Brad thought for sure Boy/Girl so when the second Boy showed his stuff he kept saying, "Are you kidding me?" I just laughed, I thought I would be disappointed if I didn't have a girl, but how could I be? I love them so much already!!!!

Ty is growing and learning everyday!! He talks all the time, I don't know what he's saying half the time, but he sure has a lot to say! He loves playing in the water and climbing on things! And he loves animated movies, Cars is his favorite right now which is awesome when Mommy needs to take a little break!! We are so excited about the next few months! I get a little nervous when I think about two babies, but I think the excitement out weighs the nerves!

Easter!

2011-04-26T12:22:00.000-07:00

We had so much fun on Easter! We went to Grandma and Grandpa Baker's house and had an Easter Egg Hunt! They have the perfect yard for it and the weather was great! Ty had a great time, he loves running around in the grass!

2011-02-15T15:37:00.000-08:00

I am so blessed!!!

2011-02-15T15:35:00.001-08:00

He is our handsome little man! Thanks for the ty Jenna, I love it!!!

2011-02-15T15:33:00.000-08:00

He still isn't walking but he pushes everything around! His favorite thing to do is walk with his Tonka truck! I love this, it's so funny!

2011-02-15T15:32:00.000-08:00

Christmas was a blast! Ty was so cute! We were all spoiled! Thanks Santa!

Ty was a shark for Halloween. It was raining hard that night so we didn't go out, but he answered the door for all the wet little ghosts and goblins!

2011-02-15T15:17:00.000-08:00

I love this pumkin patch!!! It's just down the street from our house! Fall is my favorite season, I just wish it wasn't followed by Winter!!!

2011-02-15T15:11:00.000-08:00

Ty's first haircut! He looks a little worried, but he did great! He's had 3 since then, I love his hair!

2011-02-15T14:58:00.000-08:00

Brad is so handy!!! I love my backsplash!

I'm Back!

2011-02-15T14:40:00.000-08:00

So much has happened since my first post! I guess I shouldn't go so long next time! It's to hard to catch up so I'll just hit on the high points! Our little Tyler was born on November 24, 2009. Look at those lips!!! He's so stinkin' cute!!!

2009-07-07T09:58:00.000-07:00

I had no idea what I was doing, this was definetly a first for me!

We just planted our very first garden! Brad's parents were nice enough to come help us! It has been so fun to watch things start to grow. Hopefully we will be successful! Yummy!

2009-07-07T09:54:00.000-07:00

18 weeks pregnant! The baby bump is starting to grow!

2009-07-07T09:51:00.000-07:00

This is Charley now! He has grown so much! He's the cutest little puppy, he makes us laugh all the time.

2009-07-07T09:46:00.002-07:00

Brad's newest adventure was riding his bike down to St. George and then doing a triathlon when he got down there! I am so proud of him! I don't know many people that would be able to do that and it's something he really loves! GO BRAD!

2009-07-07T09:35:00.000-07:00

Hands down the most exciting thing that has happened to us yet!!! We are going to have a baby! This picture might be a little different than most, this is the day we had the embryos implanted. We got pregnant through invitro! It was a great experience, so instead of wearing something sexy to get pregnant I was in a hospital gown! The baby is due on November 21, and we are not finding out what it is! We want the suprise in the delivery room!

2009-07-07T09:30:00.000-07:00

This is our cute little puppy Charley. This is his first day in our house. Brad is giving him a bath, practicing to be a Dad. He will be a great Dad! Charley is so much fun, he is my little buddy!

2009-07-07T08:59:00.000-07:00

This is where we got engaged!! Brad was so creative, he had all of his friends and mine write notes on the back of their pictures telling us why we should get married. This was actually inspired by a dream I had, so when he got down on his knee he said that he would make all my dreams come true and he has! We are so blessed. We have been married now for three years. It's amazing how the days fly by. Hopefully I can catch up on fun times in the past and keep you posted on things to come!
