Fred and Fredricka

Just a quick twin update...

Had my "official" ultrasound today at my doctor's office and they confirmed that it is one boy and one girl! Twin A is the little girl and Twin B is the little boy. Everything looked really good on the ultrasound and they are measuring fine. Twin B is measuring just a bit bigger right now, but that could change. Twin A was aprox 11 ounces and Twin B was aprox 12 ounces. I learned that delivery would occur in an operating room even if it is a natural delivery - just in case a C-section is required.

I'll try to get the ultrasound pics up soon.

PS. The names are what my sister has been calling the babies. Not actually naming our children that! :-)

Thanksgiving 2009

Our Thanksgiving was a wonderful one! All of my immediate family were in town...plus a cousin and his family from Arizona. So nice to be with family! Everyone pitched in with the turkey meal so Mom could just sit and relax. (She had chemo on Tuesday). We had a photographer come out on Friday and take family pictures which everyone was a good sport about. Thanksgiving day was a busy day...from cutting wood to picking acorns to playing ping pong to climbing trees! Lots of activity! I've put a lot of pics on here - mainly for family that check our blog.

Happy 90th Gram!

Grandma Mary turns 90 today! We celebrated on Saturday with a party for her that was lots of fun. Aunt Ruth and Uncle Aron were able to come - so nice to have them here!

Haircut by Doug

Doug, Kylee and Kiera stopped by on Sunday night and Doug gave Trevin a haircut. Trevin's hair grows so fast...I couldn't even tell you how many haircuts he has had in his short life. I think his first one was at 10 months! So Doug saved us some money and gave Mr. T a much needed trim. Thank you Doug!

Airplane Party

We went to Ethan's 3rd Birthday party last Saturday. It was held in a big airplane that is on display and you can rent. Very fun for the kids!

Outside the airplane

Boys Will Be Boys

Kreg and Angie were over the other night and Kreg decided that he and Trevin needed to build a big jump for Trevin's trains. Trevin thought the whole process was pretty cool!

Getting everything all set up

All set up with table propped up and ready for a test run! Silly boys!!

Happy Halloween!

Hope everyone had a fun Halloween! We took Trevin to a couple houses in our neighborhood and then out to Bampa and Grama's house. Our little dino got lots of chocolate!

The workers were staying at Mom and Dad's so Trevin got to show off his costume to them also

Helping Papa carve a pumpkin this last week

Funny pumpkin!

Helping make cupcakes. Chocolate, of course!

Mmmm...good!

Helping with the decorating. (Don't worry Mark and Cathy...Trevin didn't decorate any of the ones you got. He tends to taste each one that he helps with!)
