so less than a week in between posts is pretty good, i’d say 

things remain about the same around our household.. just the everyday routine we’ve come accustomed to… which soon i want to do a post showing our lovely new home.. just not enough time to go around taking pictures right now… soon though. the hot tub is working all the time now.. doug tends to use it more than me, but i sure get in every chance i get… even if for only a few minutes. it’s awesome having one inside.. that would be on benefit to buying this house.. although i really don’t think that this is the house i want to live in forever… anyways… that is a whole different story.

it’s been snowing a lot here, which causes meleia to not have school the next day.. like right now.. not supposed to stop until after we have over a foot! being so young she of course is still at the phase of wanting school, so here is her attitude towards all of this

collin and cade both continue to get bigger everyday!! they smile so much now and coo a lot too.. it’s really cute.. i can’t wait for another month or so when they can really being to do more..

collin
cade

my babies

and douglas.. i miss you. i miss us. i’m tired…. you’re tired…
and it seems like a life time since there has been a moment like this…
but atleast we are still here together…

so i haven’t kept up as well as promised, yet again.. but things are really hectic here, as you can imagine!!  everyone is holding strong somehow though, and we are surviving… hopefully soon michele will take some professional photos of the family, but for now here is a glance at some of what’s been going on..

cade and collin are doing great.. by now collin is over nine pounds and cade is around eight… they are starting to be awake longer, as well as sometimes sleeping longer.. they continue to be good boys and are getting to the age of being real snuggle buddies…

mr. collin

mr. cade

they like being together….

meleia has been playing with her dress up trunk from christmas almost everyday still… she always has on some costume.. jewelry… high heels.. lol
a very busy girl she is.. always playing, playing, playing.. going from one thing to another.. she has picked up on so much and the things that come out of her mouth crack me up… oh this kid… couldn’t live without her..

and she really, really loves her baby brothers.. how lucky, getting two?

recently she had teddy bear week at school and did special activities with him all week.. we were to prepare a float at home for the bear to ride in and invited to watch the “teddy bear parade” mommy, daddy, danielle, and meleia worked on her float all together and it turned out so cute.. you can’t tell in the picture but the fabric is pink with skulls on it.. which matches her shirt and sorry… she walked so fast the picture is blurry, lol.

after the parade there was some major teddy bear dancing going on

the same is going on with me.. lol. taking care of kids! doug and i did get out of town last weekend for the night, and it was a much needed break…. for some reason though, there are no pictures… hm… anyways.. my ocd still has not gone away so i still find myself cleaning and doing laundry constantly.. i’ve even gotten baskets and organized the junk drawers.. but i don’t complain because i love to clean.. what i don’t love, is putting away clothes.. and here is one reason why… there are four other closets that look just like this here… wayyyyyyy too many clothes…

and daddy is the same too.. still working and working… and resting when he gets the chance

hope that everyone is well and that i can update again soon
and i also hope that luck is getting better for everyone out there…
because i know a lot of us that need it..
