Since we found out that we were having twins, we have had a lot to think about. Some of which has included, trying to find a new car and what do we do with the girl's bedrooms, We initially had thought about getting bunk beds for the girls, just so one didn't have to go down stairs yet. So last Saturday we went and ordered bunk beds at "Palmers" (Thanks for your help Valerie and Brett!!) Rylie and Sydnie were so excited to hear that we had ordered them. All week long they were bugging us..."when are our beds going to get here, when are our beds going to get here?" I got a phone call on Saturday morning that they were in. So I thought to myself...this will be a good way for me to get them to clean their rooms. I told the girls and I have never seen them move to fast to start on their rooms. (Usually we end up fighting, screaming, and crying.) Sydnie had hers done in about 15 minutes. Rylie...humm, that was a different story. She had crap everywhere. Poly Pockets, Pet Shops, Paper, Clothes, etc, etc. etc.
I had to go to a Bridal Shower over in Tremonton and left Ryan in charge of the project. I was only gone for about 2 hours and I got a phone call from Ryan...when are you coming home, her room is a disaster. (Oh and by the way, that was the room that we were putting the new beds in.) When I got home, it looked the same as when I had left, other then Ryan had started taking her old bed apart. So I grabbed garbage bags and went to town. When it was all done, we threw away two garbage bags full. UGH!! Ryan was finally able to get the new bunk beds put together after a couple of hours, and we finished junking out the bedroom.
Rylie and Sydnie love the new beds. I was going to take a picture of them this morning....but to my horror, the floor is already covered with Poly Pockets and Pet Shops. UGH!! It hasn't even been 24 hours yet. Hey, but they were very excited about getting their beds made this morning!! Ryan is currenlty working on re-painting a dresser that we will put in their room also. I will wait until that is done before I start moving all of their clothes. That will have to be another Saturday! So we can officially cross the bunk beds off the list. Now if we could just figure out what we are going to do about a car!!
Rylie lost her first tooth last night! She has been so upset that she has not lost a tooth yet. Her friends, including cousin Alexa, Brooklyn, and Ashley from school have all lost at least one tooth. She has been coming home and saying, "Mom, when can I lose a tooth." I have been telling her that when they are ready, they will start getting wiggly. Well, yesterday when she left for school all was well. I
had no idea that she had any wiggly teeth....I don't think she knew that either. When I saw her after school she was so excited, she had a tooth that was almost ready to fall out. She later admitted that she had been playing with it all afternoon until it started to wiggle. She didn't think it was so much fun when she tried to eat her dinner. Later, that night Ryan finally got ahold of her and he had it out before she even knew. She said she would leave the rest alone until they were ready to come out.
Oh, I also think that the Tooth Fairy has not been affected by the economy...she is much more rich then when I was loosing teeth!
For those that may not of heard yet....(cause good news travels fast!)...
We are expecting.....twins!!!
We just found out yesterday, so we are still a little in shock! Okay maybe ALOT in shock! I am due August 12th, but the doctor said it would most likely be the end of July sometime. Ryan says that there had better be a boy in there. The doctor thinks they will be identical.
The girls are pretty excited. They have told everyone they see.
Rylie and Sydnie have already come up with some names...Jack and Jake....Gaby and Abby. Ryan came up with Hannah and Montana, but Rylie didn't seem to like that.
Wish us luck and please keep us in your prayers!
Every year the USU Spirit Squad holds a Dance/Cheer Clinic. They hold the clinic in the morning and then all that participated get to dance at that nights USU Boys Basketball Game. USU played Boise State, the Stadium was sold out!
This is Rylie's 2nd time going to the clinic. Last year she wasn't so sure about dancing in front of everyone. When they went to take the girls down to the floor, she started crying....she danced, but didn't want to do it again!
This year when it came around, Rylie said she would do it if her friend Brooklyn did it as well. So we talked Brooklyn into dancing with her, I didn't get any pictures of Rylie and Brooklyn, but we are very greatful that Brooklyn danced with Rylie. Rylie was sooo excited after she danced this time. She wants to do it again next year.
My mom and dad were able to come and watch, they also brought Cousin Alexa with them. Rylie loves it when Alexa comes to visit!! This is Sydnie, Alexa, and Rylie. (Where did that face come from Syd?) My mom was sitting on the other side of Sydnie, not looking at the camera. My dad and Ryan were sitting across the court in our normal (much better) seats.
We had to get a picture of "Big Blue" dancing out on the floor. He is usually the first thing the girls look for when they go to the games.
This is the 5-7 year old group dancing. My camera doesn't take very good pictures when it is far away...most of them were really blurry! If you couldn't tell, Rylie is on the right side of the U. She got to dance to a Hannah Montana Song....she was very excited!!
Rylie and Alexa - Hey Kristin, Alexa wants to dance next year!!
"Big Blue" came right by where we were sitting. Rylie and Alexa went over to get a "High Five" but I wasn't fast enough with the camera. So we got him possing with another kid.
Since Rylie was about a year old, we have started a tradition of going to Ryan's mom and dad's for Christmas Eve, spending Christmas Morning at our house, and then going to my mom and dad's sometime Christmas Day. It makes for a very crazy couple of days, but we are so blessed to have family so close and to be able to spend the holidays with both!
Christmas Eve at Grandma Shirley's.
On Christmas Eve, Santa usually comes to make sure everyone is still being good and to double check on any last minute details before the big night. He also tells everyone to make sure they go to bed real early. (Yeah, Right!) 
Rylie with Santa.
Sydnie with Santa. This is the first year that we had "Happy Faces" the whole time. Usually they are both a little hesitant and one of them ends of crying when they have to sit on his lap. They both did very well this year!!
Christmas Morning at our house!
The tree before all the craziness! Ryan eventually had to wake the girls up at 8 o'clock that morning. They were out cold, from the late night.
Christmas Day at Grandma Joy'sOnce we had opened all of our Christmas at our house we packed things up and headed for Idaho.
Rylie and Sydnie with Papa G. (Waiting very patiently for Uncle Jeff and Aunt Kristin to come.)
Avery and Sydnie opening gifts from Grandma and Grandpa.
Ryan just loves this time of year...can you tell?
Alexa and Rylie showing off pajamas that Grandma Joy made for them.We spent two days in Idaho. On the last day that we were there, Papa G got his Razor out and pulled the girls around on the sleds. They loved it!
Papa G and Sydnie waiting to go for another ride.
Rylie is in the sled waiting to go. She could spend all day being pulled around. Ryan is on one of Courtney and Nate's Snowmobiles. Maybe he should of asked Santa for one of those instead of a 4-wheeler.
Off they go, down the road!
While we were gone, the weather reports said that it had snowed quite a bit in Logan. I was a little nervous to come home and see what the drive way looked like. However, when we got home, our wonderful neighbors had cleaned the drive way out. We have such awesome neighbors!! When I finally found out which neighbors it was for sure, she said that there was about a foot of snow that had come on Friday, plus whatever was drifted across the driveway! We definitely had a Wonderful, White Christmas.
