Three Years, Four Kids: The Twins' Blessing

The Twins' Blessing

We (well, Cory) blessed Micah and Noah this last Sunday. It was such a WONDERFUL day. The blessings were beautiful...I bawled through both of them. I have cried through so many other sacrament meetings b/c moments like last Sunday were missing in my life, it was nice to cry b/c of how happy and at peace I felt. Kinda funny though, no one in our ward here knows anything about our story/infertility stuff, so they must have thought it a little odd...i mean i was BAWLING!
My Dad said Cory couldn't stop trembling during Micah's blessing but calmed down a bit for Noah's. Both blessings were wonderful....we have been blessed with amazing children. It is a little overwhelming!
Almost our entire families were able to come. We were only missing our sister Kristy and brothers Curtis and Steve. Everyone else was able to make the trip...even the spouses of those who couldn't come. It was fun to have everyone meet them and get to hold them. I loved showing them off.

These pics were actually taken a few days after when we realized we only had one pic of them in their white suits.

Sunday after church/lunch...Everyone who was able to come.

Those boys are really chunking up and they certainly look different! I'm happy your family could share such a special day with you guys. Some day I'll share Anderson's blessing day with you--not such a great day :( and I'll take all the blame for that.

What a wonderful day! I can't believe so many people were able to come. It must have been nice to have so many people around to attend to the twins. You guys look great and your boys are so cute!

To answer your question...No, we are not coming out for Christmas. Ty will only be about 1 week old and that's really not the time to be going on vacation. We are for sure coming for a visit in the summer though!

INTERRUPTIONS

"When you are exasperated by interruptions, try to remember that their very frequency may indicate the value of your life. Only people who are full of help and strength are burdened by other persons' needs. The interruptions which we chafe at are the credentials of our indispensability. The greatest condemnation that anybody could incur - and it is a danger to guard against - is to be so independent, so unhelpful, that nobody ever interrupts us, and we are left comfortably alone."

I read this as part of Shawni Pothier's post here.

Us:

Cory & I met at school (BYU) in Aug 2002, began dating in July 2004 and were married Jan of 2005. We lived in Orem, UT while Cory finished his Bachelors, and then moved to San Diego (while 7 mo pregnant with twins) in July of 2007 for Cory to begin law school. We welcomed Micah and Noah to our family in Sept 2007. In July 2008, we moved to beautiful Carlsbad, CA which is where we live now. Samantha Dawn joined us in July 2009. Cory graduated from law school in May 2010 and is now working as a Regulatory Affairs Specialist for Zimmer Dental here in Carlsbad. He loves it. Misty started a business as a Shelf Reliance consultant in December 2010 and is doing very well and enjoying helping others become more self reliant. Hanna Catherine joined us in Jan 2011 which makes four kids in just over three years! We love our family and have lots of fun together. Our kids keep us busy and happy.

The Funnies:

2/20/11:
While sitting on the playroom floor, Granna and Micah have the following conversation:
Granna: Are you in Nursery or Primary?
Micah: I'm in my house!

Micah was eating Nachos for dinner tonight. He said: "I love guacamole. Here is the guac and over there is the mole."

2/25/11:
The following conversation took place during breakfast:
Noah: Mom, I have a hypothesis
Mom: Oh, really? (where did he learn that word?) What is it?
Noah: Honey Nut Cheerios are really gross. I will now need a BIG bowl to test my hypothesis.

3/1/11:
I've been sick recently, so Cory reminded Noah before family prayer tonight to pray that Mommy's sick bugs would go away. This is what he said in his prayer: "Please bless that Mommy can take a shower so that she won't be sick anymore."

3/8/11:
Micah has a toy that asks him questions and then records his answers. I think the following two were a bit telling:
Toy: Pretend you're a Daddy. What would you say?
Micah: Micah, watch out! That's a bee!
Toy: Pretend you're a Mommy. What would you say?
Micah: Can you do me a big favor?

3/25/11:
Micah wanted to show Nanna all his tricks. After he had showed her a few (like jumping off the stairs and doing a somersault) the following conversation took place:
Nanna: WOW! That is awesome. I remember when the only tricks you could do were to sleep, eat, and poop.
Micah: I can still do those tricks Nanna. I make brown poopies.

3/29/11:
Micah said this while getting ready for bed tonight:
"Boys come from Daddy's tummies. Girls come from Mommy's tummies. Boys are bigger. That is why Daddies have big tummies."

4/23/11: Noah said: "Mom, the potty likes to eat peepee and poo!"

7/26/11:
Cut my finger while making dinner tonight. Noah was tonight designated "helper," so he saw it happen. When he saw blood he said: "Oh no, I'm going to have to get a new Mommy now!"

9/1/11:
Cory: Who is going to say the prayer?
Noah: Nobody!
Cory: I don't know anyone named "Nobody." Oh, wait, I know a NOAHbuddy
Noah: (VERY angry) NO DAD! I'm not a butt! Don't call me a butt!

Micah: Mom, what does Budiget mean?
Me: I've never heard that word, where did you hear it?
Micah: In the Temple
Me: Really? When?
Micah: When I got married
Me: To who?
Micah: You, when I was one.

9/6/11:
Me: It sure is hot today.
Noah: Yeah, I'm sh*tting (yes, the 4 letter word)
Me: WHAT?!
Noah: sh*tting, you know, I'm all stinky and drippy.

9/12/11: I just found Samantha on the toilet yelling: "Come out pee pee, come out!"

10/22/11: Noah turns to me during our "date" and says: "Mom, I'm nocturnal. Just like a bat. I can see at night."

During the same date while discussing what he wanted for Christmas, Noah said: "Mom, your just not as cool as Santa, but it's okay, I still love you."

11/12/11
I asked the boys what we should get Nanna and Grumpa for Christmas:

Micah: We should decorate their house with yummy candy canes
Noah: Let's give them a movie. One of ours, that I don't like.

12/10/11:

I asked Noah if he got his "cuteness" from Mommy or Daddy and he said: "Neither, I got it from Jesus!"

3/15/12:
Noah and I were working in the garden and I noticed that something had eaten all but 2 of our onions. I said: "Oh on, an animal ate all of our onions." I was VERY sad and disappointed as I had JUST put up a fence the day before to stop that. Without even looking at the onions, Noah said: "Mom, I know what we need to do. We need to pray." I said: "Okay, help me remember during family prayer tonight. He said: "No, we need to do it NOW." So, we went inside and said a prayer for our garden. We walked back outside and Noah looked at the onions and saw the remaining two. He got all excited and said: "Mom, look! Heavenly Father already made 2 onions grow back!"

3/17/12
Noah WOULD NOT go to the bathroom today until I wiped all the Leprechaun footprints off the mirror. He said it scared him that they could walk sideways.

3/17/12
Micah came into the living room today and asked if I knew how to spell "umbrella." I said I did and asked if he knew how. He said "yep: u-m-b-r-e-l-l-a, and I can also spell xylophone. x-y-l-o-p-h-o-n-e. Seriously a bit concerned....
