Baby Update

We just wanted to let everyone know that the babies are NOT here yet!! However, there is a light at the end of the tunnel... My doctor set a date to deliver them, next Thursday, Jan 3rd. I will be 38 1/2 weeks by then, so we have high hopes both babies will be coming home from the hospital when I do. We will make sure to post pictures once this amazing event happens! We hope you had a Wonderful Christmas and have a safe New Year's Eve!

Time's Up??

I am hoping that this will be the last post before the babies arrive. We did have a name change... for the girl, we are thinking we are going to name her Tatum Reese, instead of Reese being her first name. We still like Linkin Mark for our boy, but who knows, everything could change when they arrive. This picture would have been the picture we would have sent out for Christmas cards, but we decided to wait and send pictures after the babies are here. So, keep your fingers crossed that these babies come soon because being 36 weeks along with twins is not the most comfortable thing in the world :)

Got Elfed?

I received this email from my friend, Launa. Check out this link, it is really funny. It takes a second to load. Watch it, then create one of your own! We had fun creating our elves!

Thanksgiving Weekend

Mark getting ready to leave for his intense game of the ward Turkey Bowl in 35 degree weather. By the way his team won!

Mark and Kyndall trying to stay warm hanging Christmas lights in the freezing cold!

Kyndall is not used to the cold weather...can you tell. (that is a strawberry in case you were wondering)

Here I am making homemade dinner rolls, I guess I wasn't completely helpless.

Update of Random Pictures

Sorry it has taken a while to update but the doctor ordered me to bedrest because I was in the hospital with pre-term labor contractions. (That makes 5 hospital visits in 7 months, pretty good huh?) These are just random pictures that have been taken over the last couple weeks. Most are of baby items because they will be here anytime now.

Bret & Jessica's Wedding Weekend

On Saturday, Oct 20th Bret and Jessica were married! Mark and I drove the incredibly long 15 hour drive into Phoenix on Friday. (I am no longer allowed to fly :( ) The weekend was a lot of fun, I just wish we would have taken more pictures, but we were busy on the dance floor :)

The Bride and Groom!

Bret and Jessica on the dance floor. If anyone wants any dance lessons, make sure to call Bret, he has all the moves!

Crazy Ryan... no one ever really knows what he is up to!

Okay, so I think this is one of the only pictures Randy and Donna (mom and dad) have taken together since before Mark and I were married! Mark and I waiting to walk in to the dinner reception

I think Ashlyn is just as excited as we are for the babies to get here!

This was not part of the wedding weekend, but I thought it was funny!

Lots and Lots of Pictures of our Fun Day!

Here are quite a few pictures we took during an eventful day! For those of you who keep asking me to post pictures of how big I am getting... well there are a few in here where you can tell. I hope you like the pictures!

Mark in the middle of his football game Look at this studly quarterback! Mark kind of got confused where to stand for this picture Can you guess where we went? Kyndall and I just inside the fair grounds We were really hungry and found hot dogs for $1... Crazy price for the fair! But they were really small!

Our cute family picture Posing with the rockstars (nice side view of my huge belly) Posing with the Wizard of Oz Another great profile shot of my belly!

Kyndall was so excited that OU beat the Texas Longhorns at the Cotton Bowl

that she was jumping for joy outside the stadium!

Crazy kids playing in the water Kyndall gettting more wet than she thought she was going to! Kyndall loves Texas... especially all the talk about how

"Texas Football" is so much better than everywhere else... Just ask her!

Our Birthday's!!

Well, Sunday was my birthday and Monday was Mark's birthday! Mark's mom, Sheri, flew in for the weekend to spend some time with us and Kyndall and to do an early celebration of our birthdays. Here are some pictures from the two eventful days!

This is an ice cream cake that Mark and I made for my birthday! We made brownies on the bottom and let that cool, then put super soft strawberry ice cream on top, then topped it with fresh strawberries and bananas, then froze it for like 3 hours. It is so yummy... we are still eating it! Here is Mark opening a card. If you look closely you will notice our beautiful wrapping paper is Christmas... we were too lazy to go buy birthday paper! This is Mark while he was opening a gift he really wanted!

This was the gift he really wanted.

Layla decided she wanted to join the crazy party we were having!Mark wanted to give a cheese smile after he was done opening all his gifts!

Baking Mishap

Have you ever greased a pan when it tells you not to? Have you ever wanted bigger cookies, so you put huge spoonfuls down? Well, Kyndall and I did! We wanted to make "pizookies" and we were so excited for the cookies to be done. Then we smelled something burning... we opened the oven and this is what we saw... The burning smell was the cookie spilling over the sides of the pan onto the bottom of the oven. We could not stop laughing! In the end, the cookies turned out really flat, but super yummy!
