Back in Utah!

So, its time for another update on the Masons. The boys are growing fast. Twins present some unique challenges for mothers I have decided. The latest issue is extreme possessiveness. I'm sorry, but it is IMPOSSIBLE to teach a 14 month old to share....if any of you guys have any ideas on how please share them with me (no pun intended). We, unfortunately do not have two of every toy and it seems that one toy is always the most interesting to both of them at the same time.

Things have been going ok. Tyson does not have a job right now, so this is rather stressful. He has been looking for almost a month. I know that they Lord is watching over us though, because we have managed to stay afloat without income. We are hoping that this month presents something that will work with his crazy school schedule.

We've mostly been hanging out and enjoying being together. The boys antics keep us pretty well entertained. Next week we will head to Bear lake for the week for one last vacation before the grind of the school year. Hope everyone else is doing well.

p.s. I'll let you try and figure out who's who..... :)

Happy Birthday Boys!

Aaron

Isaac

Our sweet little twins arn't quite as little any longer. They are close to walking and saying, "kitty, Mama, uh oh, and pretty much attempting whatever else they hear that sounds fun" Their birthday was a blast, we were able to have a BBQ with some family that we rarely see out here in Dallas.

Grand Prairie has been interesting for sure. It has taken Tyson a few weeks to get into the job but he is getting better. Still not sure if it will take off but we know being here is right, regardless.

We appreciate the prayers and love!

Yesteryear!!!

Ok, so I totally came accross this photo today and HAD to blog it. How funny. This was me and Tyson's first halloween together. Coming up on our third this year will certainly bring some changes. (One large one will be not quite so much leg) If you can't tell, Ty is JFK, my friend Lindsay is Jackie and I am the immortal Marilyn! My how things change in just two short years.

One crazy year!

Today Tyson and I have been married for one year! With two babies in tow, we probably won't be doing anything crazy today to celebrate, however it has been such a wonderful journey! I am so glad to be married to such a wonderful man!!

Pictures!!!

Here are some pictures of the boys!!!

Two babies OUT of my belly!

On May 21st at 9:51 pm my two sons were born via c-section in Orem, Ut. After pushing for three and a half hours, I finally decided that enough was enough and that we were getting these guys out. Isaac weighed in at 4lb 10 oz and Aaron was 5lb 6oz. Even though the are a little bit different in their weights, it is still believed that they are identical because they shared a placenta and sac. The boys have been in the NICU now for fifteen days but soon should come home. The discharge dates are currently Sunday for Aaron and Monday for Isaac. Although they did not have any infections or serious health concerns, because they were five weeks early they did struggle at first with feeding but have learned to be champs at it! Both are growing quickly. Isaac now weighs 5lb 2oz and Aaron weighs 5lb 8oz. We are thrilled to be bringing them home and so excited to start our new life as a family of four! Tyson is an AMAZING Daddy! He takes the night shift at the hospital so Mama can get some sleep. I am so grateful for him.

Karen's wedding and more

Here is an update on my belly. This was just last week. I was a bridesmaid for Karen's wedding and it was pretty fun. I am REALLY swollen in this picture because of standing SO MUCH at the wedding.

Yesterday I spent about five hours in the hospital. It was pretty boring but over all, I think everything is ok. I have an appointment tomorrow to make sure I am not progressing and don't need to deliver my boys. I have been having some high blood pressure issues so they are starting to watch a little closer now.

I feel pretty tired and uncomfortable. Its hard to get things done...I don't even have a hospital bag packed yet. I know I need to get on those things though...if I expect to have what I need when I actually do go in to labor. I'll keep everybody posted on how it's going.
