Christmas ! ! !

Well here it is Christmas :) we had a blast today! first we got up and Krystals brother Cort and cousin Braquel came over and spoiled our little girls with gifts ! Alexis and Taylor now have their first piggy banks and pooh bear stuffed animals. they seriously went over the top :) we made a snow family while they were here and as you can see we even added the twins. Before noon we went to my house and ate and played a little pool and then to Krystals uncles to eat and then back here to eat dinner with krystals side of the fam :) it was a fun Christmas.

Pre Christmas

We had a little party up at my parents house tonight and we decided to put all the babies together :) so from left to right it goes BIG Jaden then Taylor and Alexis and then Issac. they are all so stinkin cute ! then Rollie showed up after a 14 hour drive from North Dakota ! we hadnt seen him in awhile and heidie was sure excited to see her lover :) now that pic of the animal on the bottom is an answer to my prayers ! look how big it is ! if anyone knows what it is tell me but I finally caught it on a rat trap after it had eaten my grouse I skinned and eluded my traps for over a month ! I tried rat traps and live traps and mink traps and it would set them all off and get away! it even walked through a sticky board for rats ! Finally it caught itself in a rat trap and fell into a glue board to its death after having terrorized our basement and ate and tore up everything ! good ridence ! I should mount it and hang on to it as a warning to all who tresspass!

Sunday December 21st

Well here is an update :) weve had a few visitors over this past week. Krystals step dad and grandma and uncle came over to hold the twins :) My friend steve and wife mellisa with their 10 pound baby jack also came by, Jack was born 3 weeks after alexis and taylor. Heidie and Valerie came over today to watch the twins while krystal and I went to church :) and if you zoom in on our two little girls you will see that they have a tint of red in their hair :) cute ! ! !

Dec 15 ! ! ! Update ! ! !

Well here is the updated stuff :) Randy called and reminded me that I need to keep things current so I threw on a few more pics of whats been going on. Usually Krystal will hold one of the kids and put the other in a boopy as you can see in the picture. Just to let everyone in on the secret, this first pic is the secret to feeding twins by yourself, you put them in boppys and prop up their bottles with blankets:) weve had a bunch of people over to baby sit, my mom faithfully goes twice a day to help while krystal pumps, she is such a life saver ! ! ! we appreciate the heck out of her ! My dad, hope and valerie and grandma have all been over. we even called Krystals brother and cousin this last week to come help out while krystal was sick for a day. we just want everyone to know how thankful we are for family ! all of you guys are such a big help ! thanks ! So I threw on a picture of our dog Diesel because I noticed that we havent even got one pic of her on here :( she is the prettiest Rottweiler out there and shes got such a loving personality, we love her to death! We also have my dad and mom to thank for the early christmas present for the twins, my dad went and bought two swings for them to help take the load off krystal :) and they are liking their little swings more and more each day. I also put a pic up of our first christmas tree, we just finished decorating it. the video was in november so the weights are wrong, Taylor is now 7 pounds 13 ounces and Alexis is 8 pounds 12 ounces. well we hope everyone is doing well, we should get internet here in a little bit so we will be able to stay on top of our blog :)

Alexis and Taylor are Home ! ! !

Well sorry it took soooooo long to update our blog but weve been busy busy busy ! ! ! and just so you all know, the Twins are now home for good ! ! ! we got the ok from the Doc the end of last week, so we buckled them up in the car seats and headed home ! Krystal and I have been learning the truth about twins, and the truth is . . . . . you dont get much sleep :) weve been feeding them every 3 hours and if we feed them at midnight and then change them and then wash the bottles and pump and then wash the pump stuff and mark the bottles of milk and store them in the fridge and then finally get them to sleep, we then have just enough time to close our eyes and then open them and do it all over again :) but we wouldnt trade them for the world ! as you can see, they are soooo dang cute and are cuddlers ! in one of the pics you can kind of see what a 14 pound baby (Jaden Warner) looks like compared to a 4 and 5 pounder. Also today thanks to Hope and Holly, we took Halloween pictures and they turned out sooooooooo good ! ! ! Again, we love our babies ! and its getting harder and harder to tell them apart as they grow and fill in :)

Day Six at the Hospital

So here we are at the Hospital at 1:00 am Wednesday morning :) we just finished Feeding our Twins :) (they take a little longer) They Gulped everything down, so they are doing awesome ! ! ! We now have a Family of 4, well . . . . 5 including our Dog Diesel :) Alexis and Taylor are so stinkin cute as you can see. We absolutley love to look at the little faces they make at us as we feed them. They will crack a little smile and their eyes will be probing the room, checking out their new enviroment. For anyone expecting or planning on kids in the future, that is the breast pump you use in the hospital. It will be with you more than your husband :) The Twins eat every 3 hours, so Krystal pumps in between which takes about an hour and they take an hour to feed so as you can see, that doesnt leave a whole lot of time for doing anything other than loving them ;) Both the twins have graduated from the incubator and live in cribs down in the NICU, they took out the IV's and Alexis and Taylor pulled their little feeding tubes out of their noses tonight because they think they are eating just fine without any need of extra help. and they are right, they chomped their food tonight, so they are leaving the tubes out as long as they eat their minimum amount. As for the date on leaving the hospital, we arent sure yet but we are opptomistic for SOON :)

Twins ! ! !

Well here is the newest of the new :) Last night, (wednesday the 15th) our Doctor called us to come in to the hospital to run a non stress test and do a Biophysical Profile on our babies to make sure they were ok because our last test showed that Baby B (Alexis) wasnt doing so well. so we came in and the babies passed with flying colors. Our Doctor sat us down and told us that after talking to two other doctors, he thought that we should have the babies soon, either that night or within two days. Well knowing that our doctor was leaving the next day on vacation, we decided just to have them delivered that night instead of waiting for another doctor to deliver them. Well things went fast and before we knew it, Krystal was preped and ready for a C Section because one of the babies was Breech. We got on the operating table and within 22 min, the Doctor had cut her open and delivered both babies. It was quit a site watching the whole thing ! Now Taylor Addison was born at 10:47 pm oct 15th and her sister Alexis Nicole came 2 min later at 10:50 pm :) Taylor weighed in at 4 pounds even and 16 1/2 inches and Alexis weighed in at 5 pounds 1 ounce and was 18 1/2 inches long. They are an awesome little addition to our family!

New House

So this is the little house that Krystal and I are getting into in Providence. It is a cute little 3 bedroom 1 bath house with a pretty big family room :) I put in one before and after picture of the (Blue Room) we changed it to a cream color. The family room is a kind of green that I am now painting a crossant or tannish color. Krystal and my sisters did a great job picking out the colors ! We are hoping to have it all painted and moved into by next week sometime. There is a little shed out back for storage and a sweet celler under the house that must have been built in the 1800's :) there is a TON of land so we are going to fence off some of it for Diesel to play on.
