4th of July

We had a blast on the 4th of July. We spent the night of the 3rd with Trav's family watching fireworks. And the 5th with friends and family on the beach at Bear Lake. It was a blast!

I LOVE Technology!

We had another Doctor appointment today.... things are still looking good. Our little boy has a heart rate of 168 and our little girl has a heart rate of 160. I have gained 10 POUNDS in the last month! It is just crazy to me how quickly that happened. The doc said she expects me to put on up to 8 pounds in this next upcoming month. All I can say is that I hope my body can handle the final load without too many problems. At my next visit I get to do the dreaded glucose test (YUCK!) and I got a prescription for some acid reflux medicine (YAY--it's been killing me lately thanks to our little girl who likes to squish my stomach!).

So, today we were lucky enough to squeeze in between the ultrasonographer's appointments and get some 3D pics of our babes (since the high risk specialist "didn't have time" a few weeks ago). It was SOOOO neat. All I can say is that I truly LOVE today's technology. It is really cool! So here are our fabulous pictures of our little boy and one of our little girl. There is only one for the little girl--we could only get a profile shot and that one was hard to get thanks to her brother. If you look close in the picture in front of her nose is her brother's leg with the other leg to the left of that, AND on top of her forehead is his butt. He's squishing the daylights out of her face! We couldn't get through his legs to get a face shot, so the profile was the best we could do. Funny thing is that the little girl is on top--I don't know what is preventing her from moving. They are going to try to get a few different shots of her at our next visit. Hopefully she is cooperative. Anyway, here's the pics--ENJOY!

BABIES!

Well, I had my appointment with the high risk specialist today. Thankfully everything looks normal on ultrasound. They each have both arms and legs, no cleft palate, and no spina bifida. Whew! AND for those of you who aren't on facebook.......we're having a .......

AND A GIRL! (Baby B at present)

We are so excited and VERY grateful that there are no abnormalities! We're still thinking of names, but nothing is finalized until we see their beautiful faces and make sure what we have picked out fits them. As of now our daughter will be named Brielle with a nickname of Ellie and our little boy will be either Evan or Tayson with the middle name David. Let us know what you think....boy names have been a big struggle for us so if you have any suggestions or favorites we're open to ideas. We're so excited!

On another note here are a few more belly pics:

Home Construction

As a lot of you know, Trav and I decided to finish our basement as well as begin our landscaping this summer. Trav has been working hard and it is coming along AMAZINGLY! I can't wait to have it done: I'll get my husband back, I'll have a whole house to live in, and I'll be able to use my back door as it will have a deck and nice outdoor space. Here's some pics of the progress:

Landscaping Progress

Overall, it has been a lot of planning and work on Trav's part. He's been working SO hard! So here's a shout out to him and to all who have helped! We're painting right now and the deck is going up tomorrow. Tile work is at the end of this week with carpet and cabinets to follow. It is almost done! We'll post more pics when it's all complete.

Back in Commission

Sorry, between growing twins and working 50 to 60 hours per week I've been exhausted! So, here is an update on our lives for the past little bit. There are several posts (3 I think) underneath this one if you want to catch up on everything. Enjoy!

Memorial Day Weekend

We had a lot to celebrate this year over Memorial Day. June 3rd was our 6 Year Anniversary! So, we decided to celebrate the weekend before as Trav was going to be gone the next weekend. We also felt it important to celebrate our last anniversary without kiddos (which of course, we wouldn't trade for the world).


We stayed in the Anniversary Inn on Friday night. Our room "Juliet's Balcony" was amazing! We had a BLAST! Here's a tour of our room...

The AMAZING bathtub

What you see when you first walk in the door....

The Bed
The Infamous Romeo and Juliet Balcony

And a cute pic of us just before we checked out

We then went to see Iron Man 2 in Salt Lake, made a stop at Babies R Us, and then we had dinner at the La Caille restaurant up Big Cottonwood Canyon. It was beautiful and the food was amazing.

This the restaurant and the grounds. So beautiful!

This was our food! So elegant!

Trav got the "Rack of Lamb" with Mint Jelly

And I had the Chicken with some French named Sauce.

It was DELICIOUS!

Happy Anniversary Trav! I've never had a better 6 years than the past ones with you. I can't wait for the future and the adventures that are sure to await us. Today, Tomorrow, Forever! I love you!

My Birthday Surprise

I love my hubby! He is adorable. These flowers were personally delivered to my work for my 27th birthday on May 27th. Thanks babe, they are (or were) beautiful. I love you!
