Girl Time...

Well, I'm learning that one of the perks of being a "boy" mama is that my husband recognizes how important girl time is! I kind of decided on a whim to go to Arkansas to an annual craft fair weekend. It was really fun and relaxing to go and enjoy everything...shopping, good food (roasted corn, kettle corn, corn dogs, funnel cake, chocolate dipped cheesecake, burgers, taters--it was a pregnant ladies' dream world!), girl time (+cousin Nick---love you, too!), beautiful fall weather, even if only for a day and a half! Thank you Daddy, Mere-Mere and Pops for making it happen and taking good care of those sweet boys....Here's to many more girl trips in the future... with all this testosterone in my house, I AM GONNA NEED THEM!!! Caroline (my cousin,Nick's wife), Liz (my cousin), Mom/Georgetta, Aunt Donna, Me, Debbie (caroline's mom) and Aunt Kaye...this was at dinner at a wonderful Italian mom and pop shop restaurant in the Rogers, ARK area. We were about 5 minutes away from TLC's reality show family "The Duggars" house...and yes, we did go spy and see it!!! It's HUGE...but, they do have 19 kids so what do you expect!


This Italian place had the best homemade rolls, which are my absolute favorite...so I snuck some out to go!


This is at the actual craft fair, War Eagle...it's beautiful! We added one more person in this pic, Lauren, who is Caroline's sister.

Sweet Caroline and me!

Adding Another Pumpkin To The Patch...

Give brother a kiss...

This is a sweet video from a month ago of the boys. For those of you who have been asking/wondering, we are 19 weeks pregnant and due March 29th. Everything has been going really well with the pregnancy so far...after carrying twins, hopefully this will be a "breeze!" I will say--this pregnancy is a little harder in terms of chasing twins around whilst carrying another child! But, we are so thankful for this little blessing....we find out very SOON boy or girl...be checking the blog because I imagine one of the twinkers will have an announcement to make!!!

Daddy's pictures

It is time for my semi regular picture dump from my camera. Some of these pictures may be repeats on the blog. If so, I'm sure Emily will come on here and delete them.

PaPa and Grandma (we're pushing for GiGi) with the boys

Sometimes I wonder what Emily puts in their sippy cups

Mommy and Matthew playing games on the couch

The Family

Big Giff (left) and Giff (right) Nielsen came up to watch the BYU cougars beat OU to open the college football season. Go Mountain West.

Two of my best friends, Giff (left) and Amad (right) came up for the game and we took the RV.

I know his ribs are showing, but I promise we feed these kids like crazy.

Have your people call my people to set up a meeting. Oops, I can't do that day, I'm closing a big deal. Let's reschedule.

Did you think I was a business man...wrong! I love to party.

Matthew is ready to hit the beach with his Joe Cools on

Big smile from Caleb

You can tell he is up to no good in this picture

Caleb takes a turn at the Joe Cools

Pops and Chooch at Uncle Julios. This was the night we told my parents we were pregnant. My mom screamed so loud other people in the restaurant thought a mouse ran under the table.

I don't know what you call this face.

Emily's college roommate Lacy came into town for a visit.

Caleb is giving his "I will not eat another green bean no matter what" face

Caleb has an announcement to make

As most of you know, Caleb has started saying a bunch of different words. Well we thought we would let him tell you a little secret our family has.

Halloween Shirts and Funny Faces...

The boys are still not too big for Mommy to rock them both...
This is Caleb signing "please" to his Daddy...

My mom made them these adorable Halloween shirts that say "Chooch" and "Cabers."

This was before a few steps were taken....Caleb is close to walking, but we're still not there yet!

Matthew loves to put stuff on his head, especially these baskets!

Daddy let Caleb into the chocolate pudding...don't tell Matthew!!!

This is Matthew's tough guy face!

Caleb makes really funny faces that crack us up...I'm not sure what this one means!

This is definitely his "ornery" look!

First TCU Tailgate...Full Success!

We had a fun weekend tailgating for the Frogs and of course its always more fun when the evening ends with a win for TCU! I have grown to really appreciate how much Tim and his family love TCU. Even though I am a Tech girl at heart, I can appreciate the Frogs and it is really fun to grow up in a town where you can support the local team and your kids can be apart of it. But, next year, when Tech plays TCU in Lubbock, it's on...we are ready for our revenge, suckers! It was really fun having Tim's aunt and uncle and cousins and their wives and kiddos in town for the weekend from Michigan and Oklahoma. There are a few pics of the kids below, but unfortunately we didn't get a good group pic on my camera because unfortunately the boys and I didn't make it too long at the party. If I get any other pics from the rest of the gang, I will post them! Tyler drinkin his Route 44!

Snacks were the key to success for keeping all the little ones happy!

Tom and Tim...the two most DIE HARD frog fans that I know of!
