May is almost over. So hard to believe. The babies are now 1! It got here so quick with them. Balloons, cakes. singing, and gifts. It was a great day.
Mother's Day came we went to Josh's uncles and cooked out. Then we saw Josh's mom. It was my first Mother's Day with all 4. Very Special :)
I just turned 34. Josh to took me to dinner and a movie ALONE! My sister watched the kids so we could go out. Very nice of her. Such a blessing to have a sister. And she loves my kids too, so that's a plus :)
The kids are now out for the summer. 4 kids all day seems scary lol I am a little overwhelmed thinking about it. Hopefully we have a fun summer. Not as fun as we would like because of the babies but I hope I can juggle the big kids and the babies. Hopefully some days we can do stuff the big ones enjoy. I see this summer being hard. I need some prayers. I think we will spend a lot of time at the library and in our backyard. Hoping to swim and see friends. Ahh I think we can do this. I have faith. I am just worried about being all I can be to 4. Yikessss I can do this obviously or God wouldn't have gave them to me. No matter what it's better than spending the summer in the hospital like we did last year. So it officially starts tomorrow. Fingers are crossed.
Today was Memorial Day. I went to my mom's grave and my kids really looked it over this time. This was the first time for the twins to go. It's always hard to go. It's like I can't stand. I just sit and stare. I really wish she was here :( Somehow life goes on and happiness still happens. God gives you peace. And he gives you lots of kids to feel blessed :)
So we are almost to June. This was such a crazy month. I am hoping we slow down next month. I see next month as lazy days sitting in the backyard eating ice cream. I love summer. It's my favorite. Water, ice cream, Popsicles, snow cones, cook outs, friends, and late nights. LOVE SUMMER :)
Crazy how fast they are growing! Crawling every where. Each one has 2 teeth and more coming in. Favorite foods are wagon wheels, biter biscuits, sweet potatoes, and oatmeal. They love being on mommy and doubling up on her. Adorable little stinkers that melt your heart. I love being their mommy :)

I can't get over how much Bryce looks like Kendal and Brody looks like Blake. It's like I have the same 2 babies all over again. It really is something else.
The days are flying by and I have very little time to do anything. Josh is working all day so it's just the me and the twins home during the day.
Our routine is:
8 am- Bottle
10 am- Nap
12pm- food and bottle
1 pm- Nap
2:45-3 Pick up older 2 and bottle
5 pm- Daddy gets home and mommy gets help and it's wonderful.
The day is BUSY and goes by fast!
I have tried to squeeze in some exercise time by joining aerobics. Not only is it time for myself but it's also a good stress relief. With 4 kids I need to get into shape. And I am about to be chasing after 2 toddlers. Prayers please.
The babies are now 9 months. They aren't doing everything they should be at 9 months but they are getting there. They are like 7 month old babies so they will do things on their terms. Perfectly fine with me. I am being patient with them.
Some days I feel alone and would give anything to have my mom here to help me through this. Taking care of twins all day can be so tiring and nerve wracking. I do the best I can and I remember this verse and it helps:
Isaiah 41:10 fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand
I know God gave me these babies for a reason. And they have brought me so much happiness and joy. Being blessed with twins is the best!
It's amazing how you can have 2 and then 4 and adore them all the same. Every smile warms my heart the same. When you have 4 beautiful faces in front of you, you can't help but feel overjoyed. And I am. I love them all so much. And couldn't imagine my life without any of them. They are all sweet and loving. Part me and part their dad. And that to me is perfect! Absolutely divine.
