Our 3rd of July activity

2009-07-04T08:04:00.000-07:00

We went to Coney Island and saw the Balloon Glow and fireworks... I have to say, the balloons were way cooler than the fireworks.

Time out with our friends

2009-07-04T07:58:00.000-07:00

We went to Miami Whitewater with Jen and Frankie, Jen and I got stuck on the walk in the rain, good thing it wasn't a thunderstorm....

Me and Lilly

2009-06-02T10:22:00.000-07:00

This whole time I have been saying how much Lilly looks like "Mom," then I found some baby pictures of me, so I have to post them, it is scary...

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Have you ever wondered if the one dollar bills in your wallet were ever in a strippers butt crack? If not, you're wondering now.

Have a nice day ... :)

Old friends new memories

2009-03-22T08:27:00.001-07:00

My friend Mikie called this weekend to say he wanted to get a bunch of the old people from our group, so we went out to eat and bowling. We had a blast, glow bowling and hanging out...

Face Painting

2009-03-22T07:17:00.001-07:00

Abbi had a friend come over and she wanted to paint faces so that is what we did...

First trip to the softball field for 2009

2009-03-19T17:36:00.001-07:00

Nick played in a round robin this weekend, and Abbi, Ethan and I went to watch a game. Abbi is over the whole softball field experience so she was ready to leave 5 min. after we got there. Ethan, however, was so excited to watch Daddy play he didn't want to leave...

New Pictures

2009-03-02T12:53:00.000-08:00

It's a little distorted because I took the picture from my phone, since I don't have a scanner. These are the outfits that Dad and Patsy brought back from Hawaii. Ages go as follows: Allyson is 10, Abbi is 6 1/2, Carson is 5, Ethan is 21/2, and the Twins are 6 months. Man where time goes, we started this tradition of getting them all together for pictures when my mom first got sick with breast cancer, and Abbi was only like 4 weeks old. And now to see them all together and growing so big, brings a tear to my eye. And a smile to my cheek as I know mom looks down every moment like this and just cherishes her babies...

Keep a close eye out I finally have all the pieces to my puzzel back (computer, camera) so I will be posting more pictures of all the kids.

Festival

2008-11-25T13:17:00.000-08:00

We went to the Phsyic Festival this weekend and the kids got painted by a lady there who is awesome, she does beautiful work. I might have to look her up for the kids birthday or something.

Pictures

2008-11-12T08:05:00.000-08:00

So we went for our yearly pictures, and I am glad we are only doing that once a year. Wow keeping two babies happy is hard enough...And my kids are so darn photogenic that I get so many great pictures you want to buy them all...Here are the family ones, to see each kid you have to visit their site. :)

Couples Night out

2008-11-10T10:33:00.000-08:00

Adam is getting down, although I think he might be passed out...

Shake your grove thang baby...

More beer made it on Ritchies shirt than in his mouth.

Sarah saranading nick..

They were all drinking out of the same boot, nobody could finish one by themselves and walk out of there.

Nick and Mike

In this light he looks like Frankie...

Jen you are just too funny, I have no clue what you were laughing at...

He is so serious about shaking his butt.

Here are some pictures from our night out with Jen and Frankie and the gang. We got out for a little bit, unfortunately, I had to go home early, funny how the twins know when you are out having a good time and decide to be up fussy for the sitter...

When Ike found Ohio

2008-09-18T13:58:00.000-07:00

Well, some of our family who live in Ohio know that we were hit with the left over "Ike" hurrican that mixed with a cold front. I know we were without power for three days and my dad still doesn't have power yet. We were fortunate enough to have a gas water heater so at least we had hot water for the bottles, and with the weather being so warm we didn't have to worry about keeping the kids occupied, especially since they were out of school for most of the week. However, it can get pretty boring at night with not lights, tv, or computer. We played cards with Nicks mom and sister one night and had a good time, during this time, whitney and nick decided to start throwing ham at each other to see who could catch it in their mouths. With this I now have the best picture of my husband that I will save forever, and I hope to keep it for his 50th birthday party....lol...I have to share it now of course.

Life with the twins

2008-09-12T07:12:00.000-07:00

Wow I knew we were going to be busy but I never imagined this busy, every time I open my laptop someone needs something, from Ethan to the twins, to laundry or other household chores.

The twins are doing well, Lilly has not had the purple feet since we came home from the hospital. Unfortunately, she has not been back to the doctor yet about the heart murmur, but we are working on that. Cody is an eating, pooping machine. He is just like his dad and brother. I will hopefully have new pictures soon, we are still adjusting to life with two newborns, I will keep everyone posted though. I have started a page for them of course that way I can update all the kids accordingly, and like always you can subscribe to their page as well. Ethan and I are getting cabin fever, so I think next week I might see if we can pull off a day out just he and I. I should be feeling better by then and I have been wanting to take him to the Train Museum in Mason. Abbi is interested in her brother and sister about as much as she was Ethan at this age. She is to excited to have friends her age around us, that is all she wants to do is play, play, play.

Here is the link to the twins page Huffmantwins and you can always find the kids links under my links...well i will keep everyone posted like I said.

Welcome Lilly and Cody

2008-09-06T06:36:00.000-07:00

Well it is finally over, and our new adventure is starting...I had my CSection on September 2, 2008. Cody was born first at 7:52 a.m. and weighed 6.7, and Lilly was born at 7:53 a.m. and weighed 6.11. They were both beautiful, and at first we thought they look totally different from each other, the older they get the more they do look alike, more like brother and sister than twins. Lilly looks just like my mom and I, and Cody looks just like Nick...Lilly has dark brown hair so hopefully I will get my brown eyed, brown haired girl...here are a few pictures, I have so many, I am starting their blog today so all there pictures will now be on their blog. I will post all the info soon, and you will be able to subscribe to it.. enjoy....

Final Update

2008-08-30T08:50:00.000-07:00

I finally got my computer up long enough so I could update everyone on the end to our pregnancy. I have my CSection scheduled for Tuesday at 7:30 and I don't think I am going to go any earlier unfortunately. Since this is our first time going through this as a csection and the fact that we don't know what condition things will turn out, while we hope that everyone gets through this healthy and ok, we ask that visitors wait til at least noon to come up and visit us. We do want everyone to come and visit we just want to make sure we and the babies are awake and ok so we may enjoy your time with us. We are way excited about the fact that they are almost here, I am a very nervous cause i have never had surgery before. I will make sure Nick contacts everyone to let them know that they are here and everyone's status...

Lil Nicholas

2008-08-23T07:41:00.001-07:00

I am beginning to think I need to start a page for Tina cause I am posting all the pictures from my newest little man...and we all know that Tina is never going to figure this out...we will see...

for now I will show him off for her...

this is from the shower...

Twins shower

2008-08-23T07:27:00.001-07:00

Abbi bought mommy a shirt cause she wants mommy to be hip again, unfortunately I don't think I will ever fit into a small again...if I do it will be the first shirt I show off.

Abbi and Aunt Tina's new addition lil Nicholas...he was yawning, I think we wore him out...

I have finally uploaded the pictures from the shower that Gina and Jeanette threw for the twins. It is funny how you realize adding one addition to a family might be easy but having to add two at one time can mean you two of everything. And we got alot of stuff that we still needed. Thank you to everyone who came, or couldn't come but still sent the twins a gift. We are forever greatful for your thoughtfulness. We are finally ready, I think, I keep going in there and checking to make sure I haven't forgotten anything.

Update

2008-08-15T05:42:00.000-07:00

Well, I went to the doctor yesterday, and there was good news and bad news...so I will start with the good...

Good news: They are not going to stop me if I go into labor from here on out, I no longer have to take the evil drug to make my contractions stop and I can let nature take its course. I am also still not dialated so that means that my body is not quite ready yet, however, anyone who has kids knows that could change at any time. They also did a quick ultra sound to check the babies and they look great and are big...I go back on Monday to get the monthly growth ultra sound so we will know more about how much they weigh and stuff like that.

Bad News: I STILL HAVE TO WORK, she saw no reason for me not to work, which sucks only cause of the drive and the luxury that we would have not having to find sitters all the time. As well as getting to see Abbi start her first day of school.

Also, they babies are Transverse which means I will definately be going CSection, which is good and bad for me in itself, I have anixety about being on the table and them cutting into me and me knowing what is going on, they might have to put me to sleep...the good news no long labor, my doctor said that when I do finally start into labor to make sure I tell them that the babies are transverse when I call in; only due to they will not make me go into the whole labor they will just send me to the hospital to get them out....this time around I am all for making it a smooth ride, I have worked hard to bring Abbi and Ethan here and I will have many years ahead of me to work hard at raising four kids so I will take the short way out....csection here I come...

Update

2008-08-12T06:26:00.000-07:00

I wanted to let everyone know just incase word traveled before I was able to keep everyone up to date. Nick and I were at the hospital yesterday with contractions, however, everything is still sealed shut so they stopped the contractions and sent me home. It is a good thing since I am only 33 weeks. My doctor does not want to see any babies until afer 34 weeks so we are close but not there yet. I was poked and proded enough yesterday that if I have to go back I want it to be for the real thing. We will keep everyone posted when it is time for the real thing which should be in a couple of weeks....

A night at the game with Daddy

2008-07-30T19:32:00.000-07:00

This is what happens when it is just daddy and I. Free tickets and $60.00 bucks later Daddy and i got some alone time.

Babies Update

2008-07-28T12:47:00.000-07:00

Unfortunately, there are no more pictures since it is all just one big ball of legs in there, however, I can tell you that Lily is still the bigger of the two, she is weighing in at 4 pounds 2 ounces and is in the 70 percentile, Cody is almost 4 pounds and in the 50 percentile. I did get to see Cody's face today, which is the coolest part of being pregnant, and he looks just like Abbi and Ethan did. The only thing I forgot to look for was the widows peak which I am sure will be there on one of them. The doctor told me that I will definately being delivering one way or another by 37 weeks, right now they are head to head on my right side so they are not in the delivery position. So since I am only 31 weeks along, I will be count down the next six weeks like it is christmas. Hopefully we will miss Nick's birthday, but he seems to be worried it will be on or close to it. And since I am weekly now I will have an update for everyone next week. i might stir up enough nerve to actually take another photo shoot of my belly. We will see....
