25 on the 25th

I had such a fun birthday weekend this year! 

Mckay gave Jeff and I his tickets to the BYU game that Friday night because one of his friend's was getting married so he wasn't going to be able to go to the game.

My parents watched the girls for us and it was a super fun date night! It was a gorgeous night! Perfect night for a football game! 

And BYU won!! Wooo!!

Saturday was a busy day. I had two baby showers to go to that were at the exact same time. They were both from 1-3. How does that even happen? I took Wrigley with me and made it to both of them for a little bit while Jeff took Morley with him to run some errands. It's amazing how much easier it is to go places with just one baby! 

After I was done at the showers we met Mike, Jeff, Morley, Marsh & Melinda at Tucano's for a birthday dinner! :)

We gave the girls each a roll to chew on which they were totally thrilled about!

My grandparents sent me some Baskin Robbins gift certificates for my birthday so later that night Jeff, the girls & I went to get some ice cream. We took it home to eat it because they girls were ready for bed. I ate about 4 or 5 bites of mine and realized how full I still was from Tucano's, so I saved the rest for another night. :)

Sunday was my actual birthday and a party at my parents house. 

My mom bought the girls these toys to be kept at her house for them to play with when we are over. It's so fun to see how excited they get over toys they have never seen before. Their eyes get real big and they can't seem to get to the toy fast enough. It's cute.

I got lots of fun gifts and my cute little Wrigs was such a big helper opening my presents/eating the wrapping paper and bows. :)

Thanks everyone for all the birthday wishes via text message, Facebook, phone calls and cards. 

I felt very loved and had a great birthday!

Baby Wrestlers

The twins have taken up wrestling!

At least Morley is learning to fight back! ;)

Here We Go Again

Marshall was able to go back to Oregon yesterday to finish out his mission. 

We went to my parents house on Monday night to be there when he got set apart.

While the Stake President was setting him apart I was sitting on the couch and Wrigley was standing on the floor in front of me. Towards the end of the prayer she looked over at Marsh and laughed. Who knows why....everyone had their eyes closed. It was dang funny, though. That girl cracks me up.

In the above picture, she was too interested in Grandma's hair to look at the camera. She kept pulling it. :)

Marshall's plane was leaving at 11:00 on Tuesday morning. The kids all had school so they said their goodbyes before school. Mckay, the twins and I went with my parents to take him to the airport.

I'm so so sad that this picture is blurry. :(

The hardest part for me was when he said goodbye to the girls. They are going to be so big when he gets back.

I will be posting updates and his emails on his missionary blog again if anyone wants to check it out.

Burger King

Is it weird that I'm dedicating a whole post to Burger King??

I kind of think it is....Oh well.

We stopped at Burger King on the way home from one of Jeff's softball games a few weeks ago.

It was the first time I had put the girls in a high chair so it must be documented! :)

These chairs were nasty! I scrubbed them down with like 10 wipes before I let the girls near them....yes, I am that mom.

Oh my, aren't they cute?!

It just hurts my heart a little when I think about how fast they are growing up.

Dalton's Birthday

At the beginning of September we were invited to Dalton's first birthday party.

It was at the park by their house and the girls loved being outside and playing on the grass.

Little Dalton wasn't a big fan of his cupcake. 

But he was a fan of the babies! And the babies love him! :) I think they will be great friends!

Cute Dalton sat on my lap while I ate and shared my watermelon. :)

Aren't these the cutest cupcakes that Caitlin made?!

 Thanks for inviting us to your party, Dalton!

This has nothing to do with the party, but I wanted to post about it.

When Morley woke up the morning after the party, I noticed a red mark on her arm. I thought it was just from sleeping on it but it didn't go away. 

Throughout the day I noticed more and more red spots and they started looking like hives.

They kept spreading up her legs and arms and on her face.

I had given them bananas for the first time that morning and I wondered if she was allergic to them.

It was a Saturday so I called the urgent care at our Doctor's office just to see what they thought I should do. They asked me some questions and told me to give her some children's Benadryl and take her in on Monday if it had gotten any worse.

Sunday morning she looked a lot worse so I kept her home from church. I felt so bad, but it didn't seem to bother her at all.

When she woke up Monday morning she looked better but throughout the day they started coming back. So I called the Doctor and they said to bring her in.

He looked at her and said it was a viral infection. He said he actually sees a lot of it in small kids this time of year. I told him about the bananas and that I thought she might be allergic to them and he said with food allergies the hives would appear mostly on the stomach and back. She had none on her stomach or back. Anyway he said it would just have to run its course and to let him know if it got any worse. 

The hives were completely gone the next day. And Wrigley never caught the virus, thank goodness.

This is also completely unrelated but that same day, Jeff put Wrigley's headband on her....

Doesn't it look attractive?! :)

Proof

That little Miss Wrigley can't keep her hands off of Morley.

 And poor little Morley always trying to get away! 

These two make me laugh all day long.

Cheerios

This is how I keep them entertained while I'm pumping.

At first they rarely were able to actually get any Cheerios to their mouth. 

Now I have to watch and make sure they only put one in at a time or else they choke.
