HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY LOGAN & TYSON

Molly — Thu, 03 Mar 2011 19:12:27 +0000

One year done. Gone. Just like that. My babies are one. I thought it was going to be the longest year of my life, but it flew by. I am having trouble comprehending how time flew. And I feel like I don’t remember anything. It is so fun to have two crawling, babbling, laughing, teasing, smiling babies.

We figured by this time they would look much different, and not so similar. We were wrong. They still look so much alike. But personalities are so different. Logan likes to climb, tease, and is my go-getter. Tyson does all the milestones first (we think he will be walking very soon), loves to play with toys (well, anything), and is my observer.

I can’t tell you how blessed I am to be their mother. THey are little angles. Happy Birthday BOYS!!!!!

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT

Molly — Sat, 22 Jan 2011 04:28:25 +0000

Get ready for a big shock, now don’t pass out… I am a RUNNER!!! hehehe. I have started running this week with some great friends- Kari and Kathleen (aka Nazi runners). We begin at 6:30 am and go for an hour. We are lucky enough to live close to BYU so we have access to an indoor track for free. These ladies are amazing, they do lots of 3k, 5k, and half marathons! Impressive. I have NEVER ran. I have NEVER enjoyed it, and I think I look funny running. But they give me the boost and confidence I need to do it. I just started this week and on Thursday I ran one mile non-stop!! Now that is an accomplishment. I also ran that mile today- so I have to keep going. Can’t go back now.

The twins are on a sleeping schedule at night. This has helped tremendously in getting up so early. I was thinking when I was in high school, I could stay up until 11 pm and be up at 5:30-6 without a problem. Now if I can be in bed by ten I do okay, but nine would be ideal. My goal is to run in the Freedom Days 4th of July 5k- if I can do just this one I will have made an incredible accomplishment. And to all of you who have been doing this for sometime- AMAZING!

FYI- I started another blog, great and all since I can’t keep up with the one I have. It is http://mormonmomoftwins.blogspot.com/. Let me know what you think!

2011 Already???

Molly — Sat, 08 Jan 2011 21:52:10 +0000

Where does the time go???? It is now 2011!!!! Where to even begin? The boys are growing up too fast and our house is getting smaller. We recently gave up our master bedroom to all 4 boys. They all now share a room and all the toys are in ONE area. I really prefer it this way.

The babies are 10 months old!! Crawling, 6 teeth each, playing with their brothers and getting loud. The last 10 months have been rough but the time has also flown by. I love this stage, they are so fun. I was told it would be hard when they start to crawl- I think it has gotten easier.

Ethan started preschool this year and will be entering Kindergarten in the fall- holy moly!!!! My Jackson is 3 and potty trained- woo-hoo!!!! These boys have tons of energy and can entertain themselves for hours.

Stoney FINALLY got a promotion at work. after 4 years it WAS deserved and worked for. He has also been called to teach in Preisthood at church. This has helped him so much with his fear of speaking in front of others. He has made huge improvements.

As for me- I am doing the most important job I can at being a mom. Here are some pictures form the last several months. Enjoy. Hopefully I will do better at this blogging thing this year:0
