They are 2!

This morning when we got up G2 said to me, "Mommy, 2" and held up fingers (not sure how many because I did not have my glasses on yet). It was so cute. We have their 2-year check-up and party tomorrow.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GENEVA!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRETCHYN!!

WE LOVE YOU VERY MUCH!

2 years ago

On this day in 2006 I was 34 weeks pregnant with G2 and G3. I remember being so excited that I had made it that far without any major complications. Little did I know I would be having them 2 days later. Where has the time gone? How can they be turning 2 in 2 days? Didn't I just find out I was having twins like a couple weeks ago??!?

Also, G3 and G4 seem to be doing pretty well. G3 seemed pretty *normal* (for our family anyway) this evening and G4 seems almost back to normal. I seriously don't think we ever need medicine, I think my children just like to go to the doctor and that is what makes them better.

If they all sleep well and seem good in the morning I may attempt to take them to Sacrament meeting in the morning. I hate to miss church altogether, but we will have to see. It still stinks that they will miss nursery but such is life.

Sickness

I have a ton to post about later. But for now I just wanted to say that G3 and G4 are sick. G1 and G2 aren't up to par but they're okay. I just got back from the doctor's with G3 and G4. They both have an ear infection. G3 in her right ear and G4 in her left ear. That would totally explain why G4 was so so so cranky last night. I have to go back to the pharmacy in a bit to pick up the prescriptions. I also have to give them breathing treatments. G3 weighs 23.5 lbs and G4 weighs 16 lbs 4 oz. G4 also needed to have x-rays. I didn't get to go in with her, but I did hear her screaming down the hall. Poor baby. We should hear about the x-rays later today.
Hopefully they will be fine for the girls' birthday party Tuesday. We will have to see.

I'm so sad about this. I hate that my babies are sick. I also hate that I have to miss our Ward Christmas Dinner tonight and church tomorrow. The 3 older Gs missed church last week because they weren't feeling the best.

I will update when I know more.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend.


UPDATE: G4's x-rays looked normal.

Potty training update

G1 still has yet to poop on the potty but he is wearing underwear most of the time with little accidents; except when one of the girls has an accident than he has an *accident* on purpose. That does not make for a very happy mommy. G2 and G3 are pooping on the potty really well. They tell us most of the time when they need to go, or they just go into the bathroom and go and then tell me they need to wash their hands. Boy is it nice to have a downstairs bathroom.
Before too long they will be in underwear full time during the day. Then we will start on nighttime.

I have bath time pictures to upload so keep your eyes open for that.

I apologize

to all of my fellow bloggers that I seem to be neglecting. It seems anytime I go to comment I get distracted and then I forget altogether. So, I am sorry if I never comment anymore. But I do read and I love what everyone has to say.

6-month check-up

We had G4's 6-month check-up yesterday. She weighs 16 pounds--50th percentile, is 26.5 inches--75th percentile, and her head is still in the 98th percentile. Everything is great. She also got her immunizations. Poor baby has been so cranky since. We don't go back until she is 9 months old.

G2 and G3 have their 2-year check-up on the 16th.

Pictures galore!

2 weeks from today G2 and G3 will be 2!!! HOORAY!! If I'm not posting much between now and then it's because I'm busy getting ready for their party.

I have had numerous people complain to me that I have not posted any recent pictures. Okay so maybe they didn't complain but they told me multiple times that I needed to get on the ball. Well today I finally uploaded pictures from the camera to the computer. Now it is time for picture overload.

Last week we had dinner with friends'. Here are some pictures from that evening:

We had Thanksgiving here in our house. We had a pretty good turnout. I didn't get a lot of pictures but I got plenty of having fun after we ate. We invited the missionaries to join us and they were really good sports playing with the kids.

A lot has changed in the bathroom this past month. Here are some of the pictures. I thought I had taken some of the bathroom with the toilet it, but I obviously didn't. I will try to do that another time. It is so nice having a downstairs bathroom that is usable. G1 decided on Thursday to start wearing underwear full time. We have had some accidents but nothing too bad. He still won't have a BM on the toilet but it will come. G2 has had a few BMs on the toilet. The older 3 Gs are all in underwear today. Hopefully this will continue well.
I got my superhero name while working on the bathroom. :-P Stick Girl! lol I held the 2x4 T thingy so they could get dry wall up on the ceiling. Mom and I joked that I was Stick Girl. What kinds of super powers do you suppose that Stick Girl would have?

These pictures are just for the heck of it. I added a picture of Grammy's "cake" (brownies) with candles in it (only 18--it's all I had) and a picture of G1 and Grammy blowing the candles out.

Here is a cute video of G2 and G3 "jumping" off of the couch:


G3 licking the gravy off of her dinner plate. She's so goofy:
