Bastien and Lana making a choo choo train.... Our First (& maybe last) Christmas in our house

HAPPY THANKSGIVING WEEKEND!

my new header...

I have finally learned how to make these digital scrapbook header thingees. My sister Ana has a program that is so easy called Memory mixer...which I think is going on my christmas list. It's alot of fun to do...and easier than I thought. I couldnt find any good Christmassy pictures to put in the header and we dont have a good recent family picture. So I just used a picture that I found recently from when we were dating. I think it was right after he came home from his mission in Nov 2002. Steven makes faces like this in about 50 percent of the pictures we have. And the other is a picture of Bastien at 8 months. He was scared of the lady trying to take his picture...but it made such a good one!

pictures of River (twin B)

Last ultrasound River was hiding behind Embry. But we got some good pics of him yesterday, and Embry was the one who was hiding this time. I've never had this many pictures of my kids before they were born! I'll have some more in a couple weeks:) But, they both weigh 3 pounds!

They chose a BELLA !!

Kristen Stewart is Bella! They casted Bella for the movie "Twilight"!! I never thought of her as playing Bella ..but she will be really good for her character. She's played in "In the Land of Women", "the Messengers" and " Speak". I'm glad they casted a GOOD actress for Bella. Now who's gonna play Edward?!!!!

Maybe only 6 weeks!

Today at my doctors appt my doctor said they will try to stop me from going into labor until 34 weeks..then if it did happen after that (which he says it does frequently with twins) He would just let me have them!! He said he just delivered twins at 34 weeks that were 6 pounds and very healthy. Crazy! 34 weeks! Thats in 6 weeks! I feel ready...but then I dont. I'm overwhelmed in alot of ways...not knowing what to expect with twins...or how I will handle it. But more than that I'm SO excited! I'll be 34 weeks a few days after Christmas!...so maybe they'll come around then!

I couldnt resist buying these...

These were TOO CUTE to pass up at the store. And he loves shoes that he can just slip on..like his crocs. He's been wearing these all morning. You can tell he put them on himself..cause theyre

on the wrong feet:)

And then I just added these to this post tonight....cause I cant stop talking pictures of him in them..and he's been wearing them all day!!

pregnant lady...? or beached whale?

Dont mind my insanely "swolen" face (Nice word for fat, right) ..I can tell you ...I'm not having ANY problems gaining weight anymore. I didnt start gaining anything until like 5 months along (cause of feeling yucky) and its finally coming...like a freight train. I cant blame all the weight on the twins, either...even though it's a nice excuse. They only weigh 2.2 pounds right now. But... only like 9 weeks left...so hopefully I can go easy on the ice cream until then!

Ultrasound at 27 weeks

I didnt know their heads were side by side! One is facing the other...like he's kissing the other on the cheek:) River is facing Embry. I have doctor appointments every week now and ultrasounds every 2 weeks...so I will have lots more pictures coming!

Dan in Real Life

I saw it last night and it is SOOOO GOOD! Steve Carell is such a great actor. Even when he's playing a more serious role, he is just so funny without even trying. Dane Cook was good in the movie, too. Also the movie has an AWESOME soundtrack! But, go see it! Your husbands will like it, too..cause its not a chick flick.

My birthday week!

Steven was really good to me this birthday! He pretty much gave me a birth-week.... -He took me to the mall last Saturday and let me get whatever. -He took me to the fair on Saturday..cause i'd been wanting to go! -I got to order this really cool candle warmer from "scentsy" and a few scents to go with it! -He's taking me to dinner and a movie of my choice tonight! ..I'm thinking "Dan in Real Life" -And the BEST of all.....I totally wasnt expecting this, I thought the mall trip was enough..but on Thursday he came home from school suprising me with this: I'd been wanting one for years! But never really seriously asked for one, because theyre pricy. But it's really small and has a touch screen on it for all the settings and stuff, also you can press which video you wanna watch! I love it! Also my parents have been to0 nice to me as always..my mom couldnt wait either and gave me my presents like a week ago..and some money from my dad:) Which I ended up buying a medela breast pump with.(kinda weird and boring to use your bday money on, huh?) But, I just got it cause I will definitely need one with twins and I wanted to get a REALLY good one. There's already so much I need to get for the babies...and when will I ever have 150 dollars again anytime soon? But anyways, it's been a good birthday week. I'm excited to have a camcorder around this time for these babies...which I didnt have with Bastien!

Halloween

Dumbo!( - Thanks, Ana for Evan's old costume! It didnt stay on his head as good as i'm sure Evan's did with his little ponytail on top off his head! Evan's hair was SO cute when it was that long and curly! )

I couldnt get a very good picture with the big dumbo ears showing...cause he was so shy and embarrased in front of the camera wearing it....

7 random things about me

This is an old post, I did this back in July...but Dendi tagged me and I'm too lazy to think of more random stuff! 1- I still draw like I did in first grade....Really, I havent gotten any better. I tried to draw a dog the other day and it looked like something Bastien could've drawn! 2- I am obsessed with the "Internet Movie Database" (imdb.com) I can seriously spend hours on there looking at which actors were in what movie and what movies theyre filming and so on. I must say... I am very educated in this subject. Although its not something to brag about and it's pretty useless information. I'm just glad I know i'm right when Sione and I have an argument about which actor was in a certain movie. By the way..my dad's "filmography" is on there...if you type in Vuna Fa it shows his work on Johnny Lingo...it made me feel famous for about a second. 3-I used to save all my empty lotion bottles...I think I started when I was like 12 cause one lotion I had reminded of me a time when I had a crush on this boy..then I just went crazy and started saving ALL of them, thinking I was saving memories in a bottle..they got pretty nasty smelling after a few years...I think I finally threw them away after I left home when I got married. 4-I am way too obsessed with"The Office" characters. Once I spent like 2 hours watching videos that people made on Youtube of Jim and Pam. I even dream about them...those are usually the only dreams I remember! Also I would rewatch the episode that was on that week on my dvr about 3 or 4 times ..until the next Thursday when a new one would be on...and be terribly upset when its a re-run! The Office is my favorite show..but I cant EVER remember any quotes from it when I am talking to someone about how funny it is...but I'm horrible with quotes from everything. 5-Steven and I created this weird languge when we first started dating....and we've been talking it ever since. I guess its not really a language...it's just a certain way we talk and there's alot of made up words in it...I'm sure it sounds really stupid to other people! I thought by now it would've wore off ..and I told myself I would stop talking like that when I had kids...I have a fear of my kids talking weird like it and not being able to stop it. I can always tell when someone is around Steven when I call him...cause he refusues to talk the language. We always know when one of us has forgiven the other cause we'll start talking the language. 6-I have a problem buying a shirt or a pair of jeans...and not wearing them, saying "Five more pounds and they'll look much better" I have quite a few items of clothing ..(even from before I had Bastien and was 20 pounds lighter) that still have their tags on them..its so dumb. I only wear like 5 shirts out of the 100 in my closet. Steven never buys me clothes because of this. 7- I LOVE watching movies (that i've seen a lot) with people who havent seen them. Nothing excites me more, its like Christmas. I practice this alot with my sister in law Becca who lives right next to us....I cant tell if she always likes it...but it just makes me so happy!

Guess who's coming to Grey's Anatomy?!

...Pacey!

I'm so excited! I love Joshua Jackson! He'll be a great addition to the show! I read that he's coming the 11th episode...so thats like in 5 or 6 more. Anyways, I just thought all you Grey's Anatomy lovers would want to know that our beloved Pacey is coming to the show!

My berfday starts EARLY this year!

My birthday isnt til next next Monday (Nov 5th) ...not that i'm trying to hint anything...ha that reminds me of the comedian Jim Gaffigan's bit where he says .... "Don't you love the people who give you that birthday warning? 'Hey! Just wanted to let you know my birthday is next Tuesday!' Yeah great. 'Hey. Just wanted to let you know... I'm not getting you anything.'" Anways, back to my story...my bday's not for a week but next weekend Steven has like a million flights so he's gonna be really tired and busy (cause one's at 3am) But we were gonna go to Disneyland this weekend, but I cant really walk around that much anymore, or should I say "waddle" around. I barely did ok at schnepf farms yesterday without my tummy getting really tight and hurting. I definitely can feel the difference now between a single pregnancy and a twin one. There's alot more pressure in your belly..earlier. I could walk around big places just great at 25 weeks with Bastien. Anyways, I keep getting off the subject. We arent going to disneyland, we'll wait til Bastien can really remember it. But Steven told me he will take me bday shopping tommorrow! I'm sooo excited ! There's lotsa stuff I've been wanting for a while now! Also, my mom bought me this yesterday at Rustic hutch...isnt it so CUTE!? I picked out the board and they had stickers made out to put on it. I LOVE it! I cant wait to decorate for Christmas. I didnt get to last year, cause we moved Dec 28th and I was already stressed wit packing. And this year Bastien will get it and know what's going on. And hopefully the babies will come soon after Chrissmy! That would be the BEST present! I'll be 36 weeks around then and that would be a good time for them to come.

Schnepf Farms

We werent gonna go cause it was 14 dollars to get in, but we found out on Thursdays its half price for Queen Creek residents! It was so much fun. I'd never been before. The farm is HUGE! There was so much to do, and I have a million pictures to prove it. Bastien had so much fun, he woke up this morning talking about the farm, and the plane ride, and the choo-choo, which was of course his favorite part.

Bastien picked a "pumpin"

Bastien cant stop talking about pumpkins lately, or he calls them "pumpins". So, we took him to get one tonight. Kids really do make the holidays more fun..like when you were a kid!

pictures from a few weeks ago

Bastien kept coming up to Steven while he was studying and saying "wanna pway?" Then Steven would go play blocks with him for a while, and then sneak back to his studying....Then Bastien would casually come back over to Steven a few minutes later and say "Wanna pway?" They re-did this about 5 times...thats how I managed to have time to get my camera and get a picture. Bastien looked so cute in his new outfit and shoes for church..but of course, wouldnt pose for a picture. One of Steven's many creepy faces...."Easy, Lenny"
