One on one time

Steven recently got called to nursery, he can take one of the twins with him which is nice..but that leaves me walking around the halls by myself with the other one. (Just like everyone else with a pre-nursery kid, right?) The first Sunday Steven went to nursery I went home with Jasper and made Steven a cheesecake for his bday so he could be suprised when we got home from church. It was so nice to spend that little time with JUST Jasper. It made me remember the days when it was just me and Bastien every day and that just seems so strange to me now!

I was excited to spend the next Sunday with JuST EMbry and I. I took him home and fed him lunch and he was so cute playing in Bastien's room. I could tell he was livin it up because Bastien monitors everything the babies touch of his and I'm sure that gets annoying to the twins! I even asked Embry "Do you like playing by yourself in Bastien's room?" And he nodded his head yes. (He does that to everything but I still thought it was cute:) It was like almost 1pm in this picture so thats why he fell asleep while he was eating. My kids never fall asleep anywhere except for their beds so I always get really excited when it happens and have to take a picture.

Dont you hate it when they fall asleep for 5 minutes on the way home and then when you get home and put them in their crib they act like they'd been sleeping for 2 hours and wont nap! Well Embry is the worst with this! Whenever Embry starts to fall asleep in the car and we're almost home I always talk to him and tickle him and he'll just laugh with his eyes closed...and I'm like "Embry!!! Dont fall asleep!!! " And then he gives me the stink eye like he's really annoyed at me cause I just wont let him sleep, dangit!

I realize I'll be considered inactive if I do this every Sunday....what about every other Sunday?

What can he NOT do?

Steven is amazing! Okay...so our van needs to get emissions before we can get the registration we needed like, yesterday. But the service engine light went on and you wont pass emissions until that goes off. He took the van to someone today and they said he just needed a tune up and if he replaced the spark plugs the light would turn off. Oh, and that it would be 300 dollars because the spark plugs are SOOO hard to get to in Astro Vans...HA! Yeah right. So Steven being the crazy 'do it yourselfer' that he is, went and bought spark plugs and basically crawled into the engine of our van looking for the spark plugs. Here he is about 2 hours later:

(saying..."The Shire...Baggins" all creepylike)

Oh and guess what light went off right ? ..the 'service engine' light! He said that "they couldnt have made those little bitches harder to get to" (his words) and that he was gettin claustrophobic..(I wouldve taken pics of him stuck in there but I was inside watching all the sleeping babes:) We would be out 300 bucks if it werent for this handyman.

Seriously...what would I do without him?

Abortion survivor (worth the watch)

I got a forward about this lady who survived an abortion as a baby that was performed at 7.5 months. They put saline solution in her mothers womb , and it basically tried to burn her alive..in result of that she was born with cerebral palsey. You have to watch these videos, if you've got some time. The first 2 are of her speech.

But the third video is one I found of a nurse who used to work for a hospital where they did partial birth abortions and the nurses would put the babies in a linen room to die by themselves. The nurse said she held one of the babies who was born at 21 weeks for his 45 minutes of short life. I was in tears the whole time watching this..and its really hard to watch. I cant believe it's actually happening in this country. I cant believe people think that they have a "right" to do this. Also, I cant believe that Obama voted to keep this bill 4 times! You cant really "mistake" what your voting for that many times. I loved what this woman said, she said something like

"If this was about Women's rights...where were mine?"

Ward Campout

This is a little late but last weekend we went to the ward campout. I wanted to go cause it was being held at Camp Lomia. It was at the West camp..which i'd never been to before, but it was still fun. We brought a tent but I wanted to stay in a cabin because I knew it would be freezing...and oh it was. In the middle of the night Bastien jumped in to my bed and we shared the sleeping bag the rest of the night. It wasnt very comfortable..but camping never is I guess. We didnt really stay very long the next morning. I wanted to drive over to camp orchard and show Steven where all my girls camp memories were. He was suprisingly interested. His mom was our camp craft lady one year and I told him how my cousin told his mom (before Steven and I started dating) that I thought her son was cute. And she said "all my sons are handsome" in her little girl voice:) Steven was so cute cause he wanted to see the craft cabin and he went inside and walked around the empty cabin. I can tell he really misses his mom sometimes. EDIT* You know what..is a while after I wrote this I remembered that three years ago today Steven's mom died. Thats like straight outta the twilight zone yo! Here are some pics from the trip, my mom was awesome and babysat the twins for a night so we could have fun with Bastien. Most of my family knows that Bastien can be a handful around other kids and is a feisty little thing. But he is awesome one on one. He turns into the sweetest talkative little boy. My sister Ana told me that Bastien was meant to be an only child. :) Bastien is such a fun little boy. I think his sweet side is the real Bastien and he's just a frustrated little 3 year old right now who wants to be big like his big cousins:) We had so much fun camping with Bastien! I could tell he was loving the alone time with Steven and I. The pics arent in order:

The view from our cabin was BEAUTIFUL in the morning.

It was FREEZING! But obviously Bastien never complained..I wanted some feet pjs!

our cabin

We came back to these little cuties! As nice as those little breaks from babies are..I dont like being away from them for too long! They're so kissable!

Heres a cute little video of the babies yesterday:

The wolves descend

They've casted the werewolves for New Moon. Here's who's playing

Sam (the leader), Paul (he's got anger issues)

and most importantly, Embry! (on the far right)

I guess its the new cool thing.

Steven and I decided to join all you P90x'ers. I'm mainly excited because I've finally found something that Steven and I can do together. He never wants to do my Biggest Loser DVDs with me or Taebo. But he's really excited about it and hopefully we can keep eachother motivated. I'm excited that there is an eating plan in there too. Because I have been fairly good with keeping my calories in check but I save lots of my calories for food thats crappy. I still need to get the healthy eating aspect down.

So in 90 days, Steven will be ripped and my hopefully my abs wont look like Ron's moobs anymore.

this weekend

I havent been remembering to take alot of pictures lately and no pictures means I have nothing to blog about. So I'm glad I got some cute ones this weekend.

On Saturday morning we went to the Highland HS track. We've been going alot lately..Steven plays bball while Bastien plays in the sand next to him and I take the babies around in the stroller on the track. Yesterday it was my 3rd time running 2 miles straight. I go at a pretty slow pace (it takes me 24 mins everytime) but I'm excited for this small accomplishment and I owe it all to Sione doing that half marathon in December. Before that I couldnt run 3 minutes without stopping. After seeing Sione's pace in that 1/2 marathon I couldnt look at running the same way. So I've been slowly building my endurance up..who knows maybe I might have the guts to run a half marathon someday. ("Whoa..Dream big!" -i love that part on Juno)

We bought a van a few weeks ago, it's an astro van that was in great condition and had the sweet wood upgrades haha! (gladiator style baby) it's got mood lights and everything. The best part is that we dont have payments on it! We love it!

Dont be hatin if you see us cruisin in our pimped out astro.

Bastien and his booger rash. When do they learn not to wipe their boogies across their face?!

We went to the park on Saturday for my nephew Grant's 12th birthday. I cant believe my first little nephew is a deacon! Check out my sisters blog and see the awesome cake Mary made for Grant. She keeps getting better at it.

The babies loved walking everywhere. They will love it when we actually have a backyard. Embry's an adventurous little boy. I'm gonna have to remember to keep an extra eye out for him. He's really fast,too.

Embry taking off and Steven running after him...

little monster!

My sisters best friend Dendi (She's the black teams-Dane's sister from the Biggest Loser! ..small world huh?) and her family were at the party..it was nice to see her since she's moving to Texas next month! I bet she and Brandi are way excited to live near eachother again! I remember feeling that way when Ana moved back to AZ

Bastien and Lana..they are the cutest. They are 6 weeks apart in age and they always stick together. They may fight sometimes but they mostly love eachother:) Bastien always asks if Lana will be at Grandmas when we go there.

Sorry for the picture overload.
