a quick update.. the boys are doing terrific… staying awake a lot..telling lots of stories and smiling so much :)  it’s amazing.. they are liking their toys and are now big enough to sit in their bumbo seats…

meleia is still busy as ever and loving school… she still plays dress up every chance she gets, as my pictures will show… and has been going on a lot of play dates lately that she loves..

busy, busy around here for douglas and i still… but we are still pulling through :)    he had his birthday a few days after valentines day… meleia made him the best card ever :)  and he got a lot of nice gifts and cash!   love you baby.

it’s been a long, long time….

almost two months since i have posted anything… i guess that goes to show how much this pregnancy is taking over my life… there have been many, many events in the past couple of months that have definitely been blog worthy (ultrasound photos, the in laws visiting, meleia starting school, bret michaels concert, getting a new house, jamboree, i could go on and on… ) but rarely do i even turn my computer on now days… i use douglas’s computer to check my facebook and surf around for baby items.. other than that, i’ve been very internet quiet, per se.  i am now 27.5 weeks along, so only about 9 weeks to go- since twins are considered full term at 36.  i still am dealing with the whole having twins issue, which is a given… trying to still figure out how it’s going to work out.. luckily i will have a lot of help… my dear friend mary has been helping me deal with a lot of issues, as well as getting things ready for the arrival of the boys… she is throwing me my baby shower and making awesome tie dye bedding for their cribs.. my belly is growing HUGE and i am mostly over the sickness stage, mostly.  they do leave me very, very tired all of the time though.. soon i will be on bedrest and things will change again.. names have been chosen, however i am keeping them private for now.. .we have gotten a beautiful new house that douglas has been working very hard painting every weekend so it will be perfect for us to move into.. it is sooo big and there will be plenty of room for our growing family.. :)  as well as having a spa room that i will take full advantage of every chance i get!!!  meleia started preschool, blows my mind away.. she is soo incredibly smart and beautiful it’s amazing.  everyday she learns something new and my love for her only grows stronger by the minute.  she is going to be a terrific big sister… her new thing lately is singing song after song after song and practicing ballerina moves that grandma pat taught her.. she has also learned the price of toys and recently has starting asking daddy for “forty dollars for a ki lan doll”  it’s been quite comical.   douglas parents came to visit for three days.. we had a very good time with them and it seems it went to fast… we packed a lot of events into the few short days we had and i am incredibly lucky to have met them.. everyone here loved them and they felt the same.. and the best of all– they told us our present for the babies– a years supply of diapers!!! by far the most amazing and practical thing someone could give us… michele white- our amazing photographer friend- has also opted to give us a free maternity shoot, as well as their new born pictures.. i consider myself very lucky to have all of these special things going on in my life… i will try to update more often, but as we all know, the more time passes, the harder things will be!  wish us luck!  here are a few new pictures…

ah.. i could blog and write about this girl and my love for her all day long.. how she lightens my life, at the same time as being a complete monster!! unless you actually know meleia, you have no idea how incredible and hilarious she actually is.. really. if you don’t know her, ask anyone who does. she is amazing. brilliant beyond words… beautiful beyond words… and so so funny!!! come on, what other 2 and a half year old will talk to you in spanish, lol. i really don’t know what i’d ever do without her. she is my everything.. my number 1 girlie girl, and will be forever… there will always be that bond with her and i - and i am soooo blessed to have her.

day at the beach…

Tuesday, May 19th, 2009 dosepoet

meleia and i made our first journey of the year out to the beautiful rathbun lake today… i am going to admit i was completely not prepared for the events that would happen. being only around 85 degrees today (the warmest so far- so you’d figure the water would not be warm enough yet), i figured no swim suit required, we would just walk on the edge of the water and play in the sand… wrong.no fear meleia instantly went right in, hesitated only a second, and sat right down with clothes on and all!!! she was so adorable and loved it so much.. haha. i can only smile about it.. after the water we had some sand time, (again, no swim suit, so don’t mind the underwear) and then the long, long sad walk back to the car after we were done and in dry clothes… but i rest assured her there will be lots more trips to the lake to come.. especially with daddy..

enjoy my adorable girl…

bike-n-it

Sunday, May 17th, 2009 dosepoet

meleia has been waiting a long time now for her new bike… grandma promised she would buy it for her when she was fully potty trained.. now we all know she has had some issues with this.. but here we stand today.. accomplished. :) finally.

at first she was scared.. and her legs need to get a little stronger to be able to pedal better on her own, but we are well on our way to riding a big girl bike!! a very exciting first…
and don’t worry– she does have a helmet.. which we soon learned she has to start wearing asap as she steers crazy!!!!

being a little afraid…
