A Visit from Grandma and Grandpa Perrier

Grandma and Grandpa drove out the Minivan we just bought (now we have room for the twins). We loved seeing them and are so grateful for all their help with the car and the time they spent on it for us!!!
When it was time for them to leave I (mom) was a little sad. As we drove home from dropping them off I started to cry. Brooklyn ask "What's wrong mom?". I told her I was just sad to have them leave. She told me in the sweetest voice, "Mom, maybe we can go to Utah to see them, but we can't go unless you stop crying".

Here are a few pictures of the kids loving their Grandparents!

Snuggle time with Grandma

Thank you so much for coming! We Miss you!

We are having....

Two little buckaroos! And we are really excited!

Baby A: he didn't give us a great shot of his face, but if you can make out two circles on the round thing, those are his eyes.Baby B: Great profile!


We had an ultrasound yesterday and they were both very obviously boys. Baby A was nice and calm during the ultrasound but you could see baby B's hands and feet fly into the shot. Baby B wouldn't hold still for his measurements. He was a mover and a shaker! It was just so crazy to see the two of them together and "playing" together. Interestingly enough, it seems like I feel more movement on the left side, which happens to be baby B, the mover. They were both measuring exactly 20 weeks. Brandon thought for sure they looked identical :).

Brandon wants to name them James and Timothy, so we can call them Timmy and Jimmy. Please help me convince him this is a really bad idea.

I think Brooklyn was a little disappointed not to get any girls. I tried to emphasize that she will be our special little girl and the special big sister. I think she is ok with it now, but she better toughen up because Dallin is already chasing her around and tormenting her!

Brandon is excited to be able to take the 3 boys camping and do fun boys stuff with them.
I am a little nervous for a rowdy household of boys. But I think the teenage years will be a little nicer compared to the hormones of the girls.

I have been feeling a lot better from the morning sickness. It started to get better about a month ago and I am now off the anti-nausea meds too! I was sick for a while, but it was no where near as bad as my first pregnancy. I was sure it was a girl until I found out it was twins. Then I thought it was 2 boys or one of each. I figured I would have been much more sick if I had two girls!

Overall, things look good (as far as we could tell) and we are happy and excited to know so we can start planning a little more! Life is going to busy for a while, but we have so much fun with the kids we already have...it will just be loads more fun!

Weather Changes!

Here is a fun Hot and Humid day at the park:

This is 2 days later at Schuster's Farm, and I am afraid we were not prepared for the weather! There were several school field trip groups there and somehow all their parents knew to send them with hat and gloves! I am obviously new the Wisconsin fall! I was in just a sweater and Froze!

But of course the kids had a great time and I have brought 2 options for jackets, so they were able to double up and be ok.

Brooklyn loved the HUGE slide!

Nintendo and the Garden

Nintendo Crazed? No we really aren't, but the Wii can a lot of fun! I think the husbands wanted to capture this moment on camera.

Leslie, Ashley and Elena

Nintendo Crazed again? I hope not, but Brooklyn and Dallin both love the play (or pretend to play depending on the game).
This picture: PRICELESS

The Garden

OH the garden is about done, I am sad to see it go! It was great having fresh veggies all the time! Here is one of the last harvests. Got to love the stumpy looking carrots! The picture is missing the corn, and peppers.

Epic Photo Shoot Part II

We love the pants that have an adjustable waist...you know with the elastic and the buttons inside the waist band. Well, at the end of our visit to Daddy's work one of the buttons had come undone and the elastic was well inside the waist band ( so far that I couldn't fish it out). As we weaved through the Epic Campus she kept losing her pants. She was so embarrassed. She kept saying that no one wants to see her underwear. Unfortunately we ran into several employees that caught a glimpse. It happened so many times that by the time we were walking across the parking lot her pants dropped and she just left them down, waddling her way to the car. And left them down while I got Dallin, stroller and stuff in the car. I don't know if she was traumatized by the event, or just sick of pulling up her pants.

I felt bad for her, but not bad enough to keep trying to capture it on camera. I only succeeded once.
