Update

This week has been one of the more eventful since the babies have been born. Mark is still working at the pharmacy at Walmart and Walgreens, still busy with school. Our car wont start, so he has plans to fix that tomorrow. Brooklin has been staying after school three times a week to do her homework in a quiet place =), I cant blame her. She is excited to start guitar lessons next week from my friend Jacque. Jacque has the cutest two boys and Brooklin is just aching to babysit for her. Caden had a blue and gold banquet for scouts last night. I went with 6 of the kids.. He was able to pass off a few things and get a king size snickers. He was so excited to eat it.Well he left it on the table and 'you-know-who' got it. HUNTER! He didnt eat it but he sure chewed on top of the wrapper pretty good. Miss Daisy came home from school one day and said she had 'bad news'! She finally had made it to 76 pts in her reading. She is always trying to be funny. She has a birthday party she gets to go to tonight. Aspen and Hunter got immunizations this week. Aspen had 5 shots and Hunter had 4. Poor kids. Mark took them in to get the shots and its a good thing he did. Aspen tried running away kicking screaming. She said 'let me just get kicked out of school, please, please, please!' She is doing better now. Little Gemmas has been asking to go play with her BF Cache all week long. They have been taking turns being sick and finally Jacque came and got her so they could play today. The boys had their first outing this week. Mark and I drove to Logan with them, just so I could get some groceries. They did great, I cant wait till summer so I can take them out more.

little chubbies.

can you tell who is who?

Tucker is 11 lbs and Levi is 12.

Smokin' Hot!!

I just have to post this pic of my hubby because he looks so hot! Im not sure if its because he is holding my little boys or if he has the look of 'Hey babe' that makes me love this picture. But whatever it is he is SMOKIN HOT'. (He is absolutely going to kill me for posting this, but o-well!) Mark is such a great daddy to the kids. As you know he helps with everything!! He does the laundry, along with working, homework, making breakfast every morning for kids, and all the other jobs I have him do for me. I make sure the animals are fed, oh ya Mark keeps my horse fed and watered, and kids are fed, house clean and babys are fed. This works out great for us in order to accomplish all we need to in the home. I know it seems a bit unfair, he is doing more! But nursing takes alot longer with two than you would think. He is a great husband though. I love that he lets me stay at home to be a mom. I love that he applies himself to school in order to provide for us. I just love this guy!!

For Grandma Eastman-(GG)

Sometimes I just cant get thier smiles on snapshots yet. So here are the boys smiling. They just started really smiling the last few days. I'll be getting more pics in the mail to you tomorrow. We all love you so much.

Thank you Jenny.

Thanks you so much for the blankets for the boys, They love them and I love them!

Happy Lovey Dovey Day!

Brooklin looked so cute all dressed up for valentines on Friday I had to post a pic. She is getting so big, but never too big to celebrate holidays!

Happy Valentines Day!
I feel like Im getting the hang of things again. I have been slacking on making holidays fun for my kids because I was so tiered and huge when I was pregnant. So I thought its time to start doing our fun traditions again. It started with breakfast. They each got a little box of chocolates on their plates.. Hunter was throwing up all morning, so we turned on 'Cars' and he stayed downstairs and watched that instead.

Valentines breakfast consisted of a hole-in-one (heart shaped center of course), Sausage links, grapefruit (not pictured) and yogurt smoothies. (requested by Gemma).

Next was dinner. Mark fixed Hunter a piece of toast and let him have some Jello. So far he hadnt thrown up since 8 am.

The kids so excited for our 'special dinner'. On valentines we fix everyones favorite food. Sometimes are meals turn out really wierd, but this year it turned out that the foods 'went together' It was so yum!!!

We HAD to invite Grandpa and Grandma, a holiday wouldnt be complete without them coming over to share it with us. We love you Grandpa and Grandma.

Dinner consisted of: Cube steak-Me, speghetti squash-Mark, Sourcream potatoes-Caden,
Salad-Brooklin, Jello-Aspen, and strawberry lemondae-Daisy.

The girls got a necklace, and Caden a hat, and Hunter got a 'cars' book from Mark and I.

Gemma picked the dessert-Cookies!

I love our crazy life with all our fun little kiddos. I love being thier mom, especially when they sleep!=0) (you know what I mean)

Hunter strikes again.

Well the little man went to work again friday morning. This time he broke our blind. Not a big deal, they are cheap ones anyway. He thinks he is big enough to get water from the fridge. This is him cleaning up his mess after he filled the cup too full and spilled all over.Saturday he gave us a break, because he was throwing up instead.=0) Im not sure which one I like better.

Today he was about to eat a box of brownies. I finished nursing just as he spread them all out on the table. I do love him, he is too cute, how can I not?!!

Chubbas adventures.

Since having the boys, Hunter has decided he would take advantage of his unsupervised time. This is when I am nursing the boys. Let me give you some background. Hunter has colored on my wall,pulled off my wallpaper, got the peanut butter and started eating it with a small plastic pitchfork that goes to his toy barn, got the prunes out and ate the rest of them, got the cream of wheat out and dumped it on my living room floor to play in. Well I thought I need to start taking pics and sharing his adventures with you all. This is the last two days.

Here he is dipping his grapes in his milk, and smashing his grapes onto his sandwich. It doesnt help with the two older girls laughing at him. No its not bad, maybe just annoying that he has to dip everything.

Hunter was coloring with the girls. Somehow he got ahold of a marker and decided to color his hands. Front and back. No this is not a first either. It doesnt show up that great in the pic. Believe me, it looked bad.

Stay tuned for more to come, on Chubbas Adventures!

Yoga?

The kids learned yoga off of High School Musical 2. They have been practicing and getting in touch with their inner selves. They dont do it quiet though.

Levi is Hungry, and Tucker doesnt like it!

My Birthday!

The kids decorated the table for me, Mark made dinner- my favorite, cube steak- and he topped it all off with balloons too! The party was great.
Brooklin decorated my cake this year with Daisy. I thought they did a great job. I loved it.
Levi thought he would smile his first smile today. It was adorable.

Anniversary

For our anniversary we had dinner at home with the kids. The kids decorated the kitchen with pieces of colored paper. I sent Mark on a scavenger hunt before he came home, to gather everything for dinner. He had a card at each store he went to in town, where he would read about something that happened during each of our ten years together, pick up a part of dinner and head to the next location. I had alot of fun putting it together and I think he had alot of fun doing it. We watched Wall-E together that night.

I thought it was funny we are each holding a baby!
