We've been busy, sick and everything in between!

Its been in the 40s and we havent had any snow yet so we've been playing at the park as much as we can. Here are a few shots we took at Chena Lakes:

and heres one of the kids getting their first whole corn on the cob! If I would have known how busy & quiet it kept them at dinner I would have done this a long time ago. They loved it!

Saturday the 17th we went to Anchorage. It was a beautiful 6.5 hour drive and the kids were as good as you can expect them to be for being 1 year old. We spent the remainder of the first day letting the babies run around and explore the house. Saturday night Curt, my brother Joey & one of his friends went to a hockey game. I stayed back and relaxed with Carolyn.

Sunday Carolyn & I took them to church & Al ( a very nice member) spotted Macey and asked if she had any doll furniture. He handcrafts beautiful wooden doll furniture. She is now the proud owner of a baby doll cradle & chair. Everett also scored an old fashioned desk. It was very generous of Al!

After church Curt & I went and shopped at the mall. We didn't buy much but we bought a few things we wanted for ourselves. Then we went to Babies R Us/ Toys R Us and shopped for the kids Christmas. It was fun. I cant wait to see the looks on their faces! Sunday night we went to the moose's tooth for dinner. I really wish they would build one here in Fairbanks.

Monday we took the kids to chuck e cheese. Its still a little advanced for them but they were able to find a solid hours worth of activities to do. later that evening we celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary by going to dinner at Simon & Seafords. It was a nice evening.

Tuesday, Curt & I went and toured the Anchorage Tower & Tracon and also the center. It was Curts first tour and I got to visit with a friend. later that evening we all (our family plus nin & Carolyn) went out for dinner at a new restaurant called Firetap Alehouse. I really liked it but no one else was as impressed. Needless to say Macey ended up vomiting mac'n cheese all night long. I don't know if it was the food or if she caught something but we were all very very tired. The worst part was I'm soooo pregnant I couldn't get up/sit up quick enough to take her to the bathroom so Curt had to take her each & every time.

Wednesday we drove back to Fairbanks. The drive was LOOONG!!!! we were all tired & grumpy but we made it. We unpacked and lounged around the house.

The trip was great and Carolyn was super helpful. It was really nice not to have to change all those diapers, cook meals, and just be able to sleep & rest when I needed too. The only thing that would have made the trip better is if Dustin & my dad were there to join us :)

Thursday I had a doctors appointment at 8:15am. I'm 35 weeks pregnant. Only 5 more weeks to go. So far everything still looks good. Doc Ellie said I dont have to have an IV- she said Im young & healthy, very low risk pregnancy and have great veins so if they need one they can tke care of it then:) Ive started dilating and effacing so we are heading in the right direction. Baby's heartbeat was in the low 130s. Unfortunately Ive started getting more stretchmarks. I would have thought after carrying the twins for 37 weeks I would have gotten all the ones I was going to get but I guess not!

Here I am at almost 34 weeks:

I mentioned early that Macey was puking all Tuesday night. Well Everett had his turn Friday night and Curt on Saturday. Im beginning to think they all got the flu. I havent been sick yet, but I also already got my flu shot this year....I think being pregnant should make me exempt from any other discomforts LOL. Here is a picture of Everett & Curtis lounging around recovering as they watch Sunday football:

More to come as the weeks progress!
