Our Thanksgiving was really nice except for the flu that plagued our house this week. We opted for a ham this year. It was great and Matt of course made a great meal.
We were really happy that Aunt Stefani could visit us for the holiday weekend. She was a great help with the babies and of course all the kids (including Matt and I) enjoyed having her.

Poor Em was throwing up most of the day. She was a trooper though

This is the twins first day at church. They did great, but I have to say I spent a good part in the mother's room. The older kids loved helping out, Morgan carried Macy into church for us while Matt carried a sleeping Em.

This was on their checkup day. Miles weighed 6 lb. 10 oz. and Macy topped him off at 7 lb. 4 oz. Thanks to the Crowson fam for the cute matching outfits.

One month ago today......more sweet toesies entered our lives

My friend, Shelley, came over and we got some great pics of the M&M's

please excuse the pacifiers....you'll see what happens without them

pretty good close up

our sweets

Mom being mean and trying to get pic without pacifiers

taking pictures became totally boring

done for the day

Em wanted part of the fun

Ethan's birthday at Chuck E. Cheese was a fun time had for all. Well, I'm sure Miles and Macy had no idea what was going on. Ethan invited 2 friends and our family adds 7 people. I can't believe my little boy is 5!

Happy Birthday E!!

While everyone was watching Ethan open presents.....Em was helping herself to the cake. I guess she wanted to make sure it was good for everyone else.

We let Ethan cut the cake this year. Everyone got a huge piece thanks to him.

And of course the presents were fun



While Dad handed out presents, took pictures and managed the chaos...Mom sat with the tater tots.

Again, a little late, but this is the babes at 3 weeks. Miles had his O2 off for a bit for his bath so I stole some time for pics without the tubes. I love it!

So I thought I would put this picture on here because our family has a tradition of taking a new family picture every time we have another and we have a wall in our house with all of our hospital pictures. Here is the finale...7 people in our family. I actually ventured out with the kids by myself to Walmart of all places. Morgan had the day off of school so she was the cart pusher. I pushed the twins in the double stroller and it was actually kind of fun. I'm sure I got all kinds of looks, but we loved getting out of the house. It will be 4 weeks tomorrow since the twins were born and life seriously could not get any better. I love being home with the kids and being a full-time mom. I wouldn't trade this time for anything right now.

Sorry it has taken so long to get Halloween pictures up. Life has definitely changed around here. Some days are amazingly easy, some are amazing in the fact that Matt and I are still alive. Anyway, Halloween was really fun.....the kids loved trick-or-treating. If you have questions about Matt's costume, feel free to ask him yourself....you just never know with him.
