Christian and Clay are 10!!!

I cant believe it my twins are 10 years old. I remember the day we found out we were having twins, we saw they were in two separate sacks and for some reason automatically figured we would have a boy and a girl. We decided we wanted to name them Christian and Destiny, yes Clay im sorry to say we thought you were a girl .. Well at 18 weeks we found out it was 2 boys!! We were so excited and sat in that waiting room to see my doctor after the ultrasound trying to come up with another boy name, we though Cameron, Chad, none of them seemed right until Levi said Clay at first i just laughed and said we are not naming our kid after dirt but then i said it a could more times and said it was perfect!! As time went on i kept on working and just got nice and big, i measured double whatever i was so for example when i was 9 weeks i measure 18 weeks. Well at 29 weeks me and Levi were driving home and we got into a car accident a car ran a red light and hit us, i immediately went into labor and was really worried, it took us a lot of fertility and time to get pregnant with the boys. I stayed at the hospital over night and than was released. I went home and kept working well a week later i went into labor, i remember waking Levi up and we got into our mustang and headed to the U oF U hospital, well the freeway was closed and my contractions were 2 minutes apart, I remember Levi saying he wish he was a cop so we could just go on the freeway anyway. They stopped the labor and kept me really drugged, as a matter of fact at one point they overdosed me on the medicine and I even got to the point i couldnt have visitors because it was too much stress on me. They were able to stop the labor for 1 week at which point they took me off the medication, told me it was pretty much just in my head that i was contracting and had me on bed rest. I remember it was a wednesday morning and the nurse came in to check on me, i told her i was contracting she put the monitors on me and said i wasnt but decided to check to see if i was dilated sure enough i was at 5, which at that point they can no longer stop the labor. I called levi told him it was time and he headed up to the hospital. They were born at 6:36 pm and 6:38 pm. I pushed for over an hour and could not get them out so theydecided they would be doing an emergency c-section, to make a long story short i felt the entire procedure and it was not fun. But i had two little amazing boys. I didnt get to see them until the next morning. But levi got pictures of them and brought them to me, he also stayed at the hospital with me the entire time. It was an amazing day. They are truely two little miracles and i am so glad they are mine.

Christian is now an amazing pitcher for his baseball team, he also does great in school and has so many friends. He is a very good caretaker also he loves to help with little kids and is a great help with Chase and Stacia.

Clay is my amazing catcher and he is also becoming an amazing pitcher, he is an incredible student and we have been told on many occasions the top of his class. He is so sensitive and always concerned and loving when it comes to his mom and dad.

Happy 10th Birthday Christian and Clay!! You are both my heros and i will love and cherish you forever!!

nothing to be said... A PERFECT MODEL!!

Stacia first Day of School

Today was the big day.. the day i have been excited for but yet dreading. Stacias first day of school . it went really well and she was such a big girl. I spent the day with Levi so tomorrow will be my first real day alone we will see how it ends up. Stacia and her friend Lindsey

Car Show

On Saturday we had the chance to go to a car show in Midvale, Levi had to work the event so we decided to go hang out. It was a lot of fun and the kids enjoyed checking out all the awesome cars. My Beautiful princess.. she is so gorgeous and gets prettier every day!!

Me and Clay just hanging out.. it was hot out there.

Roxie!! She is so tiny for a boxer but we are glad.

First Day of School

Monday was the first day of school for the boys. Stacia will also be starting school but not until next week. It was a very happy morning for me, the kids were also excited they got right up and got ready. When we got to school i got out of the car to walk them to their class rooms and Christian and Clay informed me that they didnt need me to.. (sniffle, sniffle) guess its not cool anymore. I did walk Chase to his though and he was super excited to see a few of his friends. However once i placed him in line he started to cry as he was concerned that I would be lonely without him. I reassured him that I would be GREAT and it was time for school. However i must admit i did get teary eyed as i walked away realizing my kids are growing up WAY to fast!! Christian now in the 4th grade and has Mrs. Meurer as his teacher

Clay also in the 4th grade and has Mrs. Wood as his teacher.

Since Kindergarten theyhave never let them be in the same class.

Chase. In the 2nd grade and has Mrs. Backner as his teacher.

Im having a hard time with him growing up...

Walking to their classrooms, so grown up.

Chase with his good friend Brenner, they are excited to be in class together again.

Be prepared for Stacias first day.. you will see lots of pictures im sure and lots of tears as i am already teary just thinking about it. She is my very best friend im having a hard time with the fact that she will be leaving me. Today we went and got kids meals at Mcdonalds and then went to the pool, we did whatever she wanted to do and left 40 minutes later.. As we were leaving the pool she said "mom, we are hot bad girls arent we" WOW what have i taught my daughter, it made me laugh. And i must say im so glad she has confidence.. i need to take some of hers for myself.

The boys also started Fall Ball this week, i forgot my camera but will take it to the next game. Chase is playing also and doing good, doesnt really concentrate on the game but didnt expect him to. Christian and Clay did win their first game tonight and both did awesome!! I love having such good little atheletes.

The Last week of summer...

Summer has come to an end.. and i am definately celebrating. Dont get me wrong i love my kids and i love being with them, but i also love having them at school. i am not ashamed to admit this fact and because they go to school I am definately a MUCH better mom!!! So for the last week we had lots of fun, we went to the Salt lake county fair. Had a cub scout pack meeting where the kids made rockets and shot them off and we ended the week with Christian, Clay and levi heading off to the Macho Man camput for three day of boy fun. Me, chase and Stacia were able to go play at the park with the girls and the kids and enjoyed yummy food at Rumbi grill. Me and levi were able to go out on a date last night to the movie Salt and to dinner at the new pizza place in Jordan Landing.. it was delicious too bad i cant remember what its even called.. We had an awesome summer and it flew by. I love summer.. BUT i love school even more !!


In front of the rabbit, the kids didnt want to leave them. they wanted to bring them all home with us.. too bad for them.

Pig Races.. they were so fun to watch and as a matter of fact Chase was one of two people who won a t-shirt, his pig won the race so he was eligible for the shirt and he won.

the kids each got to spend $5.00 Stacia chose to ride the ponies, she was the only one on the ride so the guy gave her a pretty long ride. she loved it.

Christian rode the mechanical bull and actually stayed on for quite a while.

Clay did the giant tramp. and did several back flips and front flips. The guy said he had not seen anyone ever do a double black flip, but clay did it.

Chase on the tramp.. doing flips, he got stuck several times in the middle of the flip.

The petting zoo was awesome this year, the had llamas, camels, horses, goats, turtles, sheep, bunnies.

Cub scouts. Clays rocket he made, these rockets seriously fly.

Clay and Christian both got their Bear award, they will be 10 at the end of this month and moving up to Webelos. I am proud of them and how hard they work.

Lagoon!!

we take the kids to lagoon every summer just once. Yesterday was our one time, we got a really good deal on tickets thanks to our good friend Greg and so it made it even better. We got their when they opened and as a matter of fact were the first ones in pioneer village and the first to ride the log flume, the ride attendant was really cool and let us ride it a couple of times, he offered a third time but the kids were done. Next we hit Rattlesnake rapids and me and chase got drenched!! Everyone was wet, but not even close to as wet as me. It made me laugh. We stayed until 9:45 so almost closing time, it was such a fun day and the kids all got along amazingly well. This is their last week of summer so we are trying to enjoy it all together.

Christian and Stacia on the little cars, and as you can see Christian is getting way too big for them.. they are growing up way to fast.

Blast off.. Christian, Clay and Levi are on this ride. I had a massive headache and so i chose to sit with Chase and Stacia. They of course loved it.
