First belly shot

Thanks for all of your wonderful congratulations. We feel so blessed to have all of you in our lives! We are amazed at the miracle we have received and so excited for these little twins to come. Here's the first belly shot, at three months. Just wait until sixteen weeks, there might be a big difference! That's what my doctor said :) We love you all!

Interpretation Please?

The day of miracles has not ceased :)

New Truck!!

Ben and I bought a new truck a few days ago and we love it!!! It's a 2001 Dodge Dakota. Here are some pics of our new toy!

Now we have something to put a quad in :)

Med Student Wife Findings...

So I was going around the apartment cleaning yesterday and picking up all the clutter we gather in a week and I began to recognize a pattern in the piles that I was picking up. Just thought I would share a little piece of life living with a med student! I think I counted ten piles of medical books and journals in different places around the house. I just couldn't help but smile; it seemed like everywhere I turned there was another pile! I guess it's all just evidence of how hard my Benny works and how much information he is learning. Pretty amazing actually! There could be much worse things lying around the house =)

I actually love seeing his stethoscope around. Not really sure why. Maybe it makes the fact that he is going to be a doctor in just over a year even more real. And I love the thought of such a nice person like Ben being a doctor. Wait, just over a year...OH MY GOSH! SO CLOSE!

The vitamin scam was not one of them. No worries, your doctors are not being trained by The Reader's Digest, but this doctor is being trained from the Ensign =)
Ben's "I am legit"pass to the hospital.

Haha. What a cutie. Such a smartie.

Snowstorm...and hopefully the last!

We had that dreaded March snowstorm here in Utah last week. Usually there is one more in the midst of all the warm weather as a farewell ode to winter. Let's hope this was it!

View from the back porch. The pics are a little dark cuz it was snowing so hard!

Weekend in Boise

Ben and I decided to go up to Boise this weekend. Ben's buddy from high school Shawn and his wife Chelsey had their little boy on Thursday night so that sealed the deal for making the trip. Their new arrival, Jaxton, is precious! It was so good to see them. And of course, I forgot my camera when we went to visit =( Next time. We had a nice relaxing Saturday and just enjoyed being around family. Here are a few pics.

Our nephew Caleb wanted to learn to take some pictures so we showed and he took this pic and the next two. I'm impressed for an eight-year-old.
Our niece Isabelle. Nice =P

He turned the camera on me!
Ben getting in a little quality time with the nieces and nephews. At one point they were all on his back. Ahh!!
Caleb, Aria, and Zach

Lovely =)
Mid-flight!

It's my belly button. BELLY BUTTON!! It's what's holdin' me to-ge-therrrrr!

Eying the goods =)

Haha. This picture is the perfect synopsis of miss Aria's hilarious personality.
Check out that gun show!

Christmas Break!

We had a wonderful Christmas break! We went to Boise for the week before Christmas and Christmas day. Ben got me a great camera for Christmas and we left for California the next morning, so unfortunately I didn't get any pics from Boise with it! I might have some on my phone that I will post later though. We had a great time in Boise though, going to movies with the family, seeing Ben's brother Mike's new house, going snow sledding, and celebrating Christmas with the fam! Then we were off to California for a week and had a great time seeing everybody! We went to the movies, went snowboarding, played games, ate lots of good food and had a blast! It was sad to go back to real life, since real life is so far away from our families, but thanks for the memories everybody! And Leslie, I apologize, I somehow didn't get you in a picture!

Mya, Brianna, and A.J. Three peas in a pod!

Fireplace mantle. I love home at Christmas-time.
A.J. helped Matt unwrap a Christmas present.
Darling little Emmett. I promise I'm not squeezing him, he just made funny little faces because of the flash on the camera!

Gorgeous Jess in her stylin' new shades.
Ryan and Sarah. I loved listening to all the new words Sarah can say now. She is one amazing little 1 1/2 year old.


Silly Ben :)


My parents got us lift tickets to Sierra Ski Resort for Christmas, so Ben and I, my mom and Dad, and Ryan, Rachel, and A.J. hit the slopes!





We went to Jason and Leslie's new house in Reno for New Year's Eve. It is looking great so far! They had a fun basketball game in the room next to their family room and the boys had a blast playing. Emmett was so content watching the action while his daddy shot some hoops.
Check out that good form Jas!
Jason and Leslie's little girl Madelyn is so happy and incredibly photogenic! Look at her!

Playing some Wii Mario Cart.
Ryan is ready for his New Year's Eve kiss :)
Adam playing in the remains of our midnight celebration. He didn't like it when he got sprayed with silly string though. I don't blame him!
Picking the silly string out of all our hair!
Hola.
Just chillin'.
Precious!
Dad (Papa) and Emmett
I love this picture!


I was playing in the backyard with A.J. and Sarah and snapped these pics. I love A.J.'s faces!
