Five Weeks Old

Another week has flown by.  We've celebrated Memorial day and also had our One Month Check up.  Here is our week in pictures.

This is my reality right now.  We are still struggling with Sadie not sleeping in her room.  Luckily Daddy was gone to work and I was busy cleaning up after a feeding.


I absolutely love this picture.  She is makes me smile!


This is what happens when you have a big girl head band on a baby.  It just kept sliding down.  Need to get some smaller headbands.




At our One Month Check up.
Henrietta's Check up:
Height: 22" which is 73%

One Month Old

Man this month has flown by!
Here is last week in review.

We are representing!
Uncle Travis and Aunt Jill-be sent these wonderful outfits for the twins!  Can't wait for football season to start.


The reason I included this picture is because this was my very first day flying solo.  And both of the twins were not happy that Grandma, Grandpa and Daddy were not there to hold them. We muddled through though.


Mr. Auggie had his hearing test on the 23rd of May.  He failed the first time but thank the dear Lord he passed both ears the second time.  Poor baby the ear cups seal on the skin and it hurts when they come off.  And he had to do it twice.  But he passed and that's the important thing.

This didn't last long but Daddy hadn't held both of them at once yet so we tried. 

Miss Sadie's Last Day of Co-op Preschool

Today was Miss Sadie's last day of co-op preschool.  It was at Nina's house.  Emi is an amazing teacher and they had so much fun making sock puppets.

Sadie sure is going to miss these girlies. 

Sadie drew a picture of her family.  Yes those orange dots are our belly buttons.  This child is obessed with belly buttons.

She couldn't wait to get home to show her brother and sister her sock puppet.

Thank you to Emi, Reiko, Cassie and Lacey.  The kids had so much fun this year and they learned alot.  I couldn't have asked for a better team.  You ladies are awesome!

Eclipse...And No Not The Book

You know I didn't realize there was going to be an eclipse today until I saw someone posted on facebook that they were making an eclipse viewer. 

So I got on pintrest (of course) and found a tutorial on how to make an eclipse viewer here

So I set to work to make one so we could all see it.  It was very interesting.

Miss Sadie wasn't too sure what she was supposed to do.


Once she figured it out she thought it was pretty cool.

One Month Photo Shoot

These were just taken a few days shy of Auggie and Henrietta's one month birthday. 

These also turned out pretty good so we went with a couple of these photos for the baby announcements as well.  Finally that project is done.  Check that off the list. 

These don't need any narration so enjoy...

Eye Issues

Well amongst all the baby things happening we also had a couple of trips down to UCLA for Miss Sadie's eye.

On her last visit Dr. Stacey wasn't happy with the progression of the stitches in Miss Sadie's right eye.  They should have been dissolved already but they weren't.  So Daddy and Dr. Stacey scheduled a procedure on the 15th of May to have the stitches removed. 

SAY WHAT?!  Yep the twins get to go on their first road trip.  So we loaded everyone up early early on the 15th and headed down to UCLA.  Sadie was the first patient so we had to be there by 6am.  (two hour drive so that means we left at 4am) Ah but I'm used to no sleep right now.

The procedure went well and quickly and we were back on the road by 10am.  Here is Miss Sadie passed out in the back seat.  I sat back there with her in case she needed anything. 


The twins did really well. They pretty much slept the entire time. We had to stop once on the way home because they were starving but other than that it went very smoothly.  Which gives us hope that our big trip to Portland in just over a month will go smoothly.  (Cross your fingers)

Three Weeks Old

Here is the a week in review:


Sadie reading bedtime stories to the twins.

Mommy isn't the only one exhausted around here!

Daddy and his girls


One of the cribs.  They are sharing at the moment for nap times.  They haven't graduated to night time in the crib.


Pintrest Sprinkler

Yay for non baby posts right?! Haha.

Well it's warming up here in Bakersfield.  So I found an idea for a sprinkler here on pintrest. I showed Steve the idea and this is what he came up with.  We did have to do a few modifications due to water pressure but it turned out pretty good.

Announcement Photo Shoot: Take Two

Let's try this again.  Here is another attempt at a photo shoot.  This time with Miss Sadie.

We actually did use a couple of these pictures for the back of the announcement.  This position was actually Steve's idea.  Good job Daddy!




This wasn't the clearest picture but I absolutely loved it.
