My babies are 6 months old!

In honor of the girls turning 6 months old, I wanted to post a few pictures of them from the last month! They are so cute!

Quick trip!

Last weekend we decided to take a quick trip to Utah to see our best friend Taylor get married! It was so awesome to see all of Rob's friends from high school and their cute little families. Taylor and Melissa looked so happy and the wedding was beautiful! Unfortunately, I was so busy talking that I didn't take any pictures! Typical!

While we were in Utah, we got to see another cute niece blessed! Elsa Kate Barratt! After the blessing we had lunch at Shelly's house with all of Rob's family! It was so much fun hanging out with everyone, and especially exciting to see our other new niece Brooke Turman for the first time! Again I did not get too many pictures because I was to busy talking! I did get a few pictures of Elsa, and picture of the girls playing on the floor! (see below)

Random pictures from the last month!

Emma and cousin Lacy- I love it! So cute! Lacy kept asking me if she could take the babies home with her!

My Easter bunnies!

Rob and the girls at the beach in California over Spring break!

Shocker.

So the rumors are all true. We are expecting baby #3. Apparently, I am not as infertile as the doctors told me I was. We went through so much to get the twins here, that we never expected to get pregnant naturally...and so soon! But yes, after three pregnancy tests, several blood tests, and four ultrasounds...I guess it is safe to say that I am definitely pregnant. Baby #3 will be arriving sometime at the end of October...hopefully not on Halloween. I need to take my babies trick or treating! And if you are thinking to yourself just how close will her kids be apart...oh about 11 1/2 months...if I can make it to my due date!

Thank you everyone for being so supportive lately, and offering to help me with my girls while I go through the wonderful world of morning sickness! I could not live without my mother and sisters! Thank you! And thanks to everyone who keeps telling me that "the Lord only gives you what you can handle and you Amanda can handle this!" Some days I am not so sure...but I am going to try!

Elsa Kate Barratt

Rob's sister Shelly gave birth to a sweet baby girl last night at 11:50pm. After a long day of labor, little Elsa Kate Barratt was born weighing 8lbs 8oz. She has super chubby cheeks and really great hair! We are so happy to have another beautiful and healthy neice. As the Finlinson girls would say, "Happy Zero Birthday Elsa!"

Happy St. Patrick's Day! A little late!

Our little munchkins on St. Patty's Day! Believe me these girls get lots of kisses everyday! They move so much now that it is hard to get a picture of them together or separate! I also had to post a picture of their cute socks that look like ballerina slippers...I have two pairs in just about every color! I love them!

Happy Birthday Henry!

I wish I had more recent photos of Henry! But the crazy kid is always running around or running away from the camera! I just wanted to wish my sweet nephew a Happy 3rd Birthday! He was born on Rob's birthday March 10th! He was the cutest baby! These pictures are the only time that I can remember this kid laying or sitting still! I absolutely love his energy and he has the best blond curly hair! We love you! Happy birthday!

Happy Birthday Jami!

Happy Birthday Jami! Rob's sister Jami turned 31 on March 11, 2008! We just love her so very much! She makes every family party more enjoyable! She is silly, smart, creative, talented, and just so awesome! We hope that you had a wonderful birthday! Happy Birthday Jiggs! I promise you do not look a day over 21!

Proof.

I have been meaning to post these pictures of the girls sleeping for some time now. Here is the proof that my babies love each other. They sleep this way every night! Touching heads and trying to hold hands. They do not get the concept of holding hands very well, but they do manage to touch each other. It is the sweetest thing! If only they would stay little forever and keep up this bedtime ritual. Unfortunately, they are growing like weeds, and the bedtime position is starting to become uncomfortable for them. I think they will be transitioned into separate cribs very soon! So sad! I am very worried that they will not sleep as well once they are separated! And I am really loving my full nights sleep!

Happy Birthday Rob

Emma wanting to eat her Daddy's cake!

On Monday, March 10, 2008 we celebrated Rob's 27th birthday! We surprised him with a small family party at my parent's house! My grandparents from Idaho were in town to help us usher him into another year of life. Since we were not in Utah to partake of Grandma Luella's german chocolate cake, I had to go buy a german chocolate cake from Sam's Club. It was really yummy..but not quite the cake that Grandma makes!

I love you Rob! I hope you had a wonderful birthday and another great year! You are the best thing that has ever happen to me! Without you, I would not know the meaning of true love. Thank you for our wonderful daughters, and being the man that you are. Happy Happy Birthday to you!
