September 2010

Fall is upon us once again. Many life changes of taken place over the course of this past year. Our twins were born on November 29, 2010. Carter and Olivia-(I decided that I liked the name Olivia a little more than Addisen)-arrived via emergency C-section at 1:14 and 1:17 pm respectively on a quiet Sunday afternoon at Porteuf Medical Center in Pocatello. Both babies were small, her weighing in at 5'6 and him at a whopping 3'13. They both spent about a month in NICU followed by months of trying every formula available on the market, many many sleepless nights and stressed out days finally leading up to Carter overtaking Olivia in size. However, she is definately the one in control. She is way more aggressive than he is and any chance she gets she is either kicking him, pulling his hair and/or standing on the poor guy! He doesn't stand a chance:(

We made a move to Ammon in October, where we made many new and dear friends who helped me keep my sanity. I had a very difficult time leaving our ward in June, but ultimately decided it was the best decision for my sanity due to the enormous amount of time Zach was forced to work away from home.

July was definately a downer for me. My precious little grandma Nora was called home on the 6th. It was devestating, but having the knowledge that families are eternal and that she was having a wonderful reunion with grandpa Raymond made it bearable.

In August Zach got a new job in Meridian which will enable him to be home with the family instead of living out of a suitcase 10 months out of the year. We have a lovely home and Kobe has an awesome school. So far, this year is turning out to be quite busy, but great at the same time!
