Thursday, May 13th, 2010So to begin with a small note.. certain features on my blog have been broken lately.. douglas is creating me a new theme, so in the mean time i will continue to post here and either link to the new blog or move everything over.. HM. Maybe the easier of the two!
Anyways, let’s hope that Tuesday was Doug’s last surgery and that it is only healing and up heal from now…
I have enrolled in school. SURPRISE. Through the University of Phoenix online for Medical Administrations with a concentration in transcription and coding. Pretty exciting and scary!! I can go to school all from home though and more or less in my own time, as well as once I complete my degree I can get a job from home!!!! So let’s hope this all goes as planned too.
We’ve still been working on http://www.incentervilleiowa.com and are planning on attending Lazerfest on Sunday, but there are a lot of “if’s” about that.. It will definitely be disappointing if it doesn’t work out.
On another note.. Mother’s Day was terrific… It has been a tradition in the family for the children and female adults to always have lunch with my grandmother.. who is in the nursing home this year. That didn’t stop us 
The nursing home blocked of the “salon” area and I took all the kids, as well as my mother, my sister, my aunt lori and aunt debbie, my sister, and cousin crystal and her son all went and enjoyed lunch with grandma. it was a special time. you never know if it could be her last mother’s day.. Doug, meleia, and the boys got me an amazing card and coffee mug, plus a t shirt that says “mom’s rock” which is just like me I am very grateful.
So yes, a lot if going on.. Lots that I didn’t even mention but here are a few picture updates and hopefully you’ll see the new website soon!!

PS. the boys will be SIX months the 20th! Can’t believe it!!
The boys!
Friday, May 7th, 2010So yes, poor Douglas is still ill, and still has more surgeries to come. Luckily, with pain pills.. we can enjoy some time at home with the kids though. And soon, everything will be back to normal again. He continues to work on http://www.incentervilleiowa.comand is back editing Doug from LA’s website… We are making it.
The boys are amazing. Growing. Rolly Polly’s. Jabbering. Daddy has been sneaking them bites of sherbert ice cream!! ( mom says no!) They still take good naps during the day and continue to do well at night. It seems they grow out of everything as soon as they wear it once! I can’t wait until their six month dr appt to see how much they weigh! Which, by the way– they will be SIX whole months on the 20th. I can’t believe it! They are enjoying napping in their own beds a lot, so I foresee soon they will be sleeping in there all night. They have officially now tried peas as well, although I think they need the rest of this month to really be ready. No teeth have popped through YET, but we’ve been at it for what?? Three months now! Anyways, all in all, the babies are perfect!
Enjoy the pictures!!
Just hanging out together..
They like to sit close and inspect each other, chatter, and touch the other
In their new outfits Aunt Sally got them… Super Cute.
hanging out in their new cute onsies mama bought them

Such amazing boys we have!!!
Muffin’s with Mom
Thursday, May 6th, 2010Today was a very special day for me. Meleia’s school had a special “muffins with mom” gathering for mother’s day. it was very neat. the tables were set with beautiful flowers in the middle, name tags, and our mother’s day gifts.. the class came in and sang a few song for us, told us a few nursery rhymes with guest MOTHER GOOSE and then we got to enjoy yummy muffins with juice. I have a video at the end of the post. This even over filled my heart with love for Meleia.. and as her teachers told me a few days ago at conference, Meleia really has grown up.. I love our daughter..
The class…
