Christmas 2010

Christmas 2010 was spent back in CA...the last Christmas without the babies!:) We went to Downtown Disney, went to Palla Indian Casino, and spent the rest of the time with the fam. We had a great time with everyone, however, the weather was questionably colder than Denver!



Today also marks the 15 week point. They have now grown from lemons to apples! That's what our babies will look like a year from now!

We have a dr. appt next week, which all fingers are crossed that we will find out what they are! Most bets are on 2 girls, then 1 of each, and then 2 boys. Braden thinks girls, I think boys, and our parents think one of each...so we will see!!!

Growing Fast!

Within 1 week, the babies have grown from Nutter Butters to the size of Lemons, and the length of a flip phone! Fortunately, I don't think you can tell they've grown that much just by looking at me:)

As today I mark the 14 week point. This morning, I realized I now require a "shopping list" to go to the grocery store, or maybe just a "to-do" list to walk around with me all day. I made cookies last night for a co-workers birthday today, and when I left this morning, I couldn't remember why I was supposed to bring cookies to work today...so I left them! If its this bad now, just wait a few more months...Braden will have to check me into a home!!!

13 Weeks

Today marks the 13 week point! YAY!:) The babies are now the size of a nutter butter dipped in chocolate! I think I have decided to permanently enter into the world of maternity clothes...or I'm just accepting the fact that my clothes are just too small for me to be squeezing into and still looking appropriate in them! I am much more comfortable with this stretchy band around my waist!

I am still feeling pretty good, but am still aiming to be in bed by 8 every night! Food is starting to sound better, but out of all things, pizza is still a NO GO! That is the only that keeps Braden believing that I'm not making all this stuff up! However he is enjoying my random desires to go eat out at different restaurants:) We're trying to take advantage of our time to eat out...peacefully!!

12 Weeks

We went in on December 6 for our 12 week pre-screening appointment. We got all the test results back and they both look good and all levels and measurements are normal:) Our next appointment will be the beginning of Jan so hopefully we'll get a small idea of gender possibilities! As of right now, I have a small incling of either 1 girl and 1 boy, or I almost feel like 2 girls...after feeling like they were 2 boys the whole time! My thoughts have changed! Braden has thought 2 girls the whole way through...so we'll see!! Either way, I think we'll keep em'!

This week they are the size of Vienna Sausages!!

BABY TIME!!!

We found out in the middle of October that we are pregnant! We then found out on November 2 that we are pregant with TWINS!!! We couldn't be happier with Double Dodds!

They are expected to make their arrival no later than June 1. We don't know much as of now, but will keep you posted as we find out more down the road!:)

Nov 5-7--NEW YORK

Katy and I took a trip to see Chelsea, Daniel, and new Baby Bryden in New York. We had a great time and got to enjoy just spending time together before more babies arrive!!

Ruby Trust Harvest 2010

September 2010

So for Braden's 28th Birthday, he was treated like a prince! One of our friends loaned him his Maserati for the whole week of his birthday. We ate dinner at Shanahan's and received VIP treatment. Had a family birthday party at his parents house, and he couldn't have asked for more!

Ayla and Nicole also came out to visit. We went to Tiny Town, Little Monkey Buziness, the swimming pools, and went to Pearl St in Boulder. We had a great weekend and Ayla loves visiting Aunt Amy in Colorado!!!

August/September

Here are just a few random pictures from the rest of the summer. Dad came to visit, mom came to visit, had a bbq at a co-workers house, went to some concerts...it was the summer of 2010!

KEY LARGO!!!

In August, we took an early Anniversary vacation to Key Largo! We fell in love with the place and can't wait to go back!

We also got to meet Grandma Betty's favorite cousins, Stuart and June. They were wonderful! They took us all around Miami and gave us an excellent tour, which was followed by a delicious authentic Cuban dinner!
