Merry Christmas

Our friends got Kayden this helmet as a joke because he fell off the counter earlier in the week

Riley was not sure what to think

boys will be boys

Today Kayden decided to launch himself off the counter. When Kayden and Riley eat we have them in their Bumbo chairs on the counter. As Zach turned around to get some milk from the fridge Kayden fell off the counter onto the tile floor. He seemed a little out of it and threw everything up, needless to say we were really scared so we took him to insta care and before we knew it our little boy was back to normal. He was perfectly fine he probably just had a little headache.
The funny part about the whole thing was when he fell on the floor Riley leaned over and looked at him and kept saying "uh oh!" (that is her new favorite word when anything falls or gets dropped)

Happy Holidays

Birthday party in Utah

After we spent a few days in St. George we headed north to Spanish Fork for another little party with my side of the family and some of Zachs friends. Kayden and Riley were a little overwhelmed by having so many people around but they loved the Angel food cake and presents.

1st Birthday in St. George

Kayden and Riley had a little party in St. George with Grandma and Grandpa. We had fun watching them try to open presents. (they did not quite get what to do) they had really yummy cup cakes but unfortunately it made them a little sick later but it was still fun to watch them eat it.

One year ago today...

I absolutly HATED these monitors!!

I am so glad I was able to use my computer. It made the 2 weeks a little easier.

One year ago today I was admitted to the hospital because my water broke. My Dr. was not going to induce me until Jan. 4 2009 but I was in the hospital in November. This was the post Zach posted when I was in the hospital last year. I can't believe how fast a year has gone! I spent 2 weeks on hospital bed rest before they were born.


THE BIG SCARE!!!!!
Well Friday morning at approximately 12:30 in the AM. Cassie got up to use the "facility" after returning to her most comfortable bed she realized that something was different and that the wetness now flowing was not supposed to be there. You guessed it her water broke at 30 weeks and 5 days! She then proceeded to disturb my slumber and awkward dreams with panic and mayhem. Needless to say a what should have been a twenty minute drive to the hospital turned into a flying ten!! long story short she is now looking at spending a minimum of a week to a maximum of three weeks on bed rest in labor and delivery with little to no amniotic fluid to keep Riley afloat. But do not fret she and the babies are doing well with minimal contractions and a dilation of 3 cm. Two things have been learned: 1. Women really do scream when they are having babies, and 2. amniotic fluid is really just baby pee!!!

Happy Halloween

Zach had to work a lot and we decided I would go spend a week in Utah. I went to the store on Halloween and found a little costume for Riley and Nixon let Kayden use his Wolverine costume. We went around our old neighborhood to let Nixon trick or treat.

She has so much fun playing with Daddy.

Kayden crawled in there all by himself. He could not figure out how to get out but he had fun getting in.

We all had a very late night.

Playing nice with eachother.

We spent an afternoon at the ABQ Aquarium. Last time Kayden and Riley were there was when they were about 4 months old. This time they got to enjoy it. They like looking at the all the different fish. We also walked around the gardens. Riley likes the grass but Kayden is not a fan. Although he did find a leaf.
