Happy Birth Day! Finally with my Babies for the 1st time

1 month old! They were so tiny!

2 months old! Napping together...like always!


3 months old! Their 1st Christmas picture!

4 months old! Celebrating Big brother 5th b-day!

5 months! Having fun with each other, laughing at Mama!

Wow!! I can’t believe my twins are 5 months old today! It’s so crazy how fast time goes by!
They have changed so much in these 5 months…
Before…wondering if they knew who I was, now they know that they know I am Mama!
Before…sleeping ALL day, now they are napping 2-3 times a day and always ready to play!
Before…all they could was just lay the, now they roll, try to crawl and laugh at everything!
They are even reaching for us when they want to be picked up, it is so adorable! They are always trying to get Big brother to play with them, they reach for the toys they want & throw the toys they don’t want down! They “talk” all day long with Mommy & Daddy, big bother…but mostly with each other, they defiantly have the “twin” connection! They always are wanting to eat “our” food but still enjoying their baby food! When I hear that they are awake and I go to get them, it is so funny, when they hear me & all I hear are little giggles because they know Mama is coming to get them! I has been a fantastic 5 months and I look forward to all the new changes to come, with my little handsome Prince & my little beautiful Princess!!

Cute little Bugs!

Four Adorable tiny feet!

My little Prince & Princess!!

My Adorable little Knight!!

My 3 Precious little gift from the Lord!!

Just a few pictures of my cuties!! I just can't resist taking picture of these 3 little ones!

"I am the resurrection and the life.
He who believes in me will live,
even when he dies; and whoever
lives and believes in me will never die.
Do you believe this?"
John 11:25-26

I love my MOBY!

Since the twins were about 6days old we (Abe & I each have one) have carried the twins in Moby wraps when we go out! They are the single most wonderful baby item we have! I can’t tell you how much easier it makes shopping, going for walks, going to church, and just about any task around the house!! Abe even took down our deck canopy with Si in the Moby! I have carried both in one when they have both been extra fussy and it calmed them so quickly! We didn’t have anything like this with Elias and I can’t tell you how difficult it was to do thing around the house when he was tired or not feeling good or just wanted me! The twins love them and more often then not they fall asleep after just minute in them! We were even able to go shopping on Black Friday with no worries! Now that the babies have gotten bigger they are able to face outward instead of inward, in fact last Sunday we walked into Starbucks and within about 30 seconds we had 3 people stop us to ask us about what we think of them, one girl who worked there even said when she got off work she was going to buy one! Today Gabbi is a little fussy so…its Moby time.

Encourage me!
From John:
“If a man is thirsty, let him come to me and drink.
Whoever believes in me, as the scripture has said,
Streams of living water will flow form within him.”
John 7:37-39

“I am the light of the world.
Whoever follows me will never
Walk in darkness, but will have
The light of life.”
John 8:12

“If you hold to my teaching,
You are really my disciples. Then
You will know the truth, and
The truth will set you free.”
John: 8:31-32

“ I tell you the truth,” Jesus
Answered, “ Before Abraham was
Born, I AM!”
John 8:58

These are some messages of encouragement left
By my husband every morning to keep me grounded!

I hope they help you !!

My little Prince & Princess

Simon and Gabriella are getting big Simon is 46 % for weight and 67% for height! Gabbi is 31% for weight and 62% for height! They are on their way to being little crawlers! They roll everywhere that they wan to go! They have been eating all kinds of food! Simon Loves corn & applesauce , Gabbi Loves peas & applesauce. This week I am going to try butternut Squash.
We have been waiting the whole month for Si’s bottom 2 teeth to break through…they still haven’t …it has been quite the event! Si is a watcher, he likes to take it all in and then respond…normally with a giggle! He also wants to crawl, but he is my little cuddler and is happy just to snuggle mama! He his a very happy little man!
Gabbi is a little giggler, she laughs at everything and everyone, she is happy all the time! She so badly wants to crawl and do what she wants to do!! However she does have bossy side and has no problem making her wants be known! He loves her own voice, I have been woke up many a night to her & Si singing and talking to each other!

WHAT???? 5 already??

Elias had a great birthday! We had a Buzz (Toy Story) Birthday party for him! He loved it, he loves the Toy Story movies so much, so we knew we couldn’t go wrong! I had to make ALL the decorations, apparently all the local Party Supply stores have discontinued Toy Story decorations. Elias and I had a great time making all kinds of fun things for his party, so it ended up being a fun Mommy-son bonding time! He had a great fun party , some of his friends, a pinata`, a 4 layer cake, presents…everything a 5 yr old would love! He was so excited to open his “big” gift from Daddy and Mommy : Buzz Lightyear wings, as you can imagine I have had A LOT of help around the house from “Buzz”!!

Elias is a amazing little boy and he really is little, he is only at 31% for his age in height and like 19% for weight! He is writing all the time! He wrote a bible vs. on our chalk board to surprise us, it totally amazed us! He loves learning, he has been working on his reading…which is going extremely well! He recently asked if he could learn Spanish! Also he has been loving learning to play the guitar and piano. Aside from that the loves pretending that he is a superhero and rescuing Mommy and the twins!
