Due to their new found love of EVERYTHING shiny, along with their new found MOBILITY all my ornaments were located on the upper 3/4 of our tree. It only took Layla pulling off and breaking 3 ornaments within about 3 min to make this decision!!
We did have a wonderful holiday - Kelly and Ben were home and shocked at how much J&L had grown in just the short period of time they had been away. The last time they had seen j&l was at the wedding just a few months back.
Now jax and Layla are crawling full force...we even have races to the bath tub and let me tell you the competition is stiff on a nightly basis. If was quite comical this year at the Miles/Mueller family Christmas hosted at our house. It came time to give baths and get ready for bed...I did my normal proclamation to the babies of "whose ready for a bath??" and like they have done so often with only me as their audience right then and there they both dropped the toys they were playing with and Crawled single file towards the bathroom..giggling all the way!
It's days like that that make all the dirty diapers, sleepless night, and fussiness seem not as smelly AND tiresome!!
With Christmas already gone and the new year upon us I have a few things I want to try and work on in 2012. Call them resolutions or personal goals but here we go
~try my best to be more patient with not only my family,but friends, co-workers, volleyball players and students at school!
~Diet!I know it sounds like the typical resolution but I am determined to keep up with the this diet program...hope your seated for this but I gained a whoopin' 78 lbs with jaxon and Layla i kniw ppl have said "but you had TWO" babies...well yeah but those TWO only weighted 6lbs4oz. And 5lbs 7oz... Where in the heck did the other 66lbs come from- well i think Little Debbie Swiss Cake Rolls and (i cringe when i type this but...) McDonalds big macs all had something to do with that number- and gulp......I've lost 52 of it...still a ways to go I would love to be back to pre pregnancy weight at their first birthday party. Goal#1 written down!
-mommy and daddy of the year! I want to continue to do my best raising the sweetest, loving and in my humble opinion most adorable set of twins on the planet!! hey I'm their mom I can say that right??!! lol I love them so much and can not remember my life without them in it! I promise to do everything in my power to keep them safe, secure and loved from now until forever. Stephen and I would do anything for those two!
-find a deeper faith
Church "go-er"... yes,
have always had faith in my life...yes
but it is my goal to find a deeper meaning and live a more faith based lifestyle. I believe I can do this simply, without making many changes, as the ground work has been laid shifted and improved for 28 years. I do not want to make the extreme changes as some would describe as the holy roller- you all know people like this... people who do and say what they want everyone to hear I regards to their religion. They want EVERYONE to know they are doing Gods work and living a lifestyle according to His word. That is great dont get me wring BUT I feel that if I am at peace with my relationship with God, I do not Necessarily need the outward symbols to "prove" to anyone this relationship.
Ooo this is a big one...I will try..."REALLY TRY" and blog every day. Even if it is just to say today was a boring day but jaxon had a massive "blow out" which a rather impressive the places he had poop! (armpit, neck, sock etc.) funny how as an adult you never talk about poop...but you have a kid and that becomes topic of o so many conversations!! ha funny but o so true! "o the little things that make our world go round!!
- I am going to try to take time out of our evenings just to hang out with Stephen... With this new
- last but certainly not least I am going to take a picture of J&L everyday of 2012- with so many new babies being born these last few weeks I can not get over how tiny these babies are...It makes me so sad to think Jaxon and Layla were sooo teeny tiny and I can not even remember them that small! I am getting things to gather to sell my baby clothes and to go thru preemie sleepers and know that they swallowed jaxon when we first brought him home makes me tear up at the sight of them. By taking photos each day it's my goal to have a photo book made next year to see just how big they have gotten right before their 2nd birthday
Well day 1 of 2012 is coming to a close. So far so good I must say! I'm headed to bed to cuddle with two of my three loves. As i head to bed ill be saying a little prayer for my other love who is keeping us safe tonight and every night!
