The twins will be ONE tomorrow! Here are some pictures from a year ago-now (when i was 8months prego and 205lbs & just wanted to meet these two cuties!!! & now, the kids are crawling all over and ALMOST walking...and im down to 130lbs & happily skinny once again!)...
Ready to pop any day now in the prego pics...one year ago tomorrow...my babies were soo perfect & my tiny little babies, it still blows my mind sometimes that i have 2 kids!! I am so blessed to have one of each.

9 months old

Wow, where has the time gone with my two kiddos?!
9 months old!
I really cant say i wish they were still babies...cause that was the hardest time of my entire life! I am sooo happy Zane is finally mobile...well army crawling as of 3 weeks ago...and Sky can actually be left alone to just "play" with toys finally without screaming her head off cause i left her side!
The twins are sleep trained and on a schedule!! I feel like such a successful mom, really...if youve done it you know what i mean! I totally trained them! Its a nice thought to be in control again...after having the twins run my life for the last 8 months...waking up every other hour to feed and sleeping randomly and of course never at the same time! huh!
Soooo, i did the "cry it out" thing...any any mom that doesnt do it and rocks there kids to sleep every single freakin time they need to fall asleep is honestly crazy! and id just like to rub it in your face that i sleep 8-10hrs sometimes and i am A TOTALLY different women now that i sleep! So i was suppper nervous about letting the kids go w/o food all night... i was worried about the whole crying thing cause ive always let them "cry them selves" to sleep when i laid them down at night...but would always just go grab them when they woke up and starting crying throughout the night and just feed them and lay them down and let them cry them selves back to sleep again... so the main thing i was worried about was just cutting them off cold turkey and having them be STARVING all night long cause they are soo used to eating every couple hrs... BUT i stuck to my guns and did it!! it took TWO long, sleepless, DOUBLE the crying nights full of no sleep, but it worked! my rule was...i lay them down at 8pm...NO LATER!!! and if they wake up during the night i let them cry back to sleep...but if they wake up past 5am...even if they woke up at 450am i would still wait to see if theyd fall back asleep in 10 mins before 5am...(and most of the time they did...) so if they woke past 5am i would feed them a 4oz bottle and put them back into bed. my other rule is that we dont get out of bed until. they can play in their crib, cry, or wake up play then take a cat nap until its 8am. but i am not going to let them form a habit of waking up whenever they want and i have to get up...nope. so i start the habits now :) it works ladies. so do it. i am so much happier now and i actually enjoy my time with my kids now...instead of constantly thinking...when will i get my next nap!
ok, scheduling nap time for me took some time... but after just paying attention and writing it down for about a week for when they twins would "round about" fall asleep through out the day, i just set my own time between that round about time... so now this is our daily schedule and its been going great for a little over a month! they wake up at 8am i feed them, 930am go to the gym, 1030 home from the gym, nap at 11am, then i get my craft on...or sleep...clean..whatever i want! :) they normally sleep until about 1-130ish... then we play for a couple hrs, and then they go back down for a nap at 4pm & sleep until 530ish, tim get home from work then we go to the gym at 7pm and get home and put the kids to bed at 8pm. thats my day! and i freakin love having a schedule!
I am blessed at this point in my life...the only time ive never needed coaching from a fitness person i trust to give me advise and help me through this process of become the person i want to be again...the neighbors that just moved in about 4 months ago at body builders...yup :) its amazing. they are the nicest people ever, michelle (the wife) is a stay at home mom and also a full time body builder along with her husband! We have become great friends and she is helping me get into shape again! she has given me a meal plan and tells me how and what to work out...needless to say i am soaking up every second of it and loving it!!! this is a priceless friendship!
I have never hated my body before...until after i delivered these kids! O m freakin g. they totally stretched my tummy out...! and i gained so much weight... when i delivered the twins i was 204, i now weigh 133! yeah ya!
I have been working hard since the twins turned 3 months old. I done several different things to cut the weight...like cutting out all sugars for 1 1/2 months then counting calories (which i love doing!!) doing 1200 cal a day...while eating every 2 hrs. i now doing a high protein diet for 8weeks to shred the fat. eating only chicken, asparagus, yams, 2 cans of tuna with only mustard or mrs dash, 6 egg whites and regular oatmeal with sugar free honey or splenda, 10 almonds a day, protein shakes & a green apple. yup thats it for the 1st 4 weeks....now that im done with those 4 weeks im moving onto the next phase and now im eating fish in substitute for the tuna and chicken having fish 3x a day, cutting out the yams, and having 1 cup brown rice split between 1st and second fish, plain rice cakes...i get ONE cheat "meal" a week...yeah i dont even get a whole day...i just switch out one of my fish meals on saturdays for something else...thats healthy but not in my current meal plan to throw off my body...like a subway sandwich or something like that... i LOVE structure so this meal plan works perfect for me! and NO i have NOT cheated or given in AT ALL in 4 weeks! yup, i stick to the same freakin food every single day...its easy not to cheat when you see results. i am losing so much weight, so how can i justify eating that cookie or that dr pepper that i crave? when ill just be taking steps backwards? thats what makes it easy to stay on track. i refuse to be "that mom" when their kids are like 2 and they are still looking like they are pregnant or keep saying how they have "baby weight" to lose. my husband deserves to have the eve he married back and i deserve to be happy...and sexy/buff/skinny/can fit into all my jeans, tight shirts w/o my tummy sticking out at all= a happy eve :)
i work out twice a day 5 times a week. yup, i know crazy huh! but ITS WORKING! i do cardio in the morning for an hour and at night i lift with Tim.

switching gears...
we want to move to either gilbert or glendale...not sure which one yet...our house is on the market for rent...we just built a wall and turned the loft into the 4th bedroom... we shall see what happens...either way our kids WILL be raised in Gilbert/Mesa area and be surrounded by LDS people their entire lifes...but until they start school im open to living in the west valley...we will see!

zane has 6 teeth, and is the happiest baby ever. i can put a ball on the floor and hell just push it around for hrs and play with it. he is such a happy baby.
sky has 1 tooth. haha, the 2nd one hasnt even popped up yet at all...weird. she is just now getting over this "needy" phase...thank goodness cause it was DRIVING ME CRAZY! she is so beautiful and i am so thankful i was blessed with one of each...cause tim and i are thinking we are DONE!

peace out!
gotta go!

The twins are growing up soo fast and i am loving it! I cant wait for them to start moving around on their own! Here are a couple things about each of my babies!

-Zane-

4 sleeps on his tummy now
5 will fall asleep in his jumper while jumping himself to sleep
6 can sit up on his own
7 is my little stud man and is such a sweetheart to his mom, always giving me hugs, he is my little cuddle bug!

-Sky-
1 Smiles with her entire mouth open!
2 can sit up longer then Zane can any day!
3 no teeth yet
4 only laughs when its REALLY funny, she doesnt do it too often
5 will lift her arms up and make noises like 'huh huh' wanting me to pick her up...little brat!
6 notices when im eating a banana and will cry until i give her some!
7 she will watch me very carefully if she is playing with toys or in her jumper to see if i try to leave the room...and if i do she will start to cry
8 is very sensitive, if there is a loud noise or anything she will start to cry. Also, i have to nurse her alone away from everyone cause she refuses to nurse while there is a conversation going on!
9 is so dang cute and tiny and i love her to pieces!


The twins at the 7 month appointment.
Zane is 26 inches long and weighs 17 1/2lbs! in the 25%
Sky is 24 inches long & weighs 13 1/2 lbs! in the 5% (haha)
(*sorry about the pictures being cut off, i have to fix it...)



Sky is such a happy girl!!



Zane LOVES this green toothbrush! Its so cute!



Zane just adores his dad, he even says DADA now!



Like father like son :)



My busy life! My arms are super strong now!







Lol, i had to take a picture, I dont know how many time this has happened! Sky will be crying in her carseat in the car and ill think she is just being a brat...little do i know her dang headband is in her eyes! Oh well! Sorry, girl i refuse to let you out of the house without one!



Sky learned how to sit up on her own but sometimes falls forward! Here are the two times that when she fell it actually left a mark! Poor thing!

This time auntie Zina was watching the twins and Sky fell!



First time Sky sat in a buster chair! She loved it! Look at those beautiful blue sky eyes!



This is the naked truth of being zane`s mother! EVERY single time this kid eats i can guarantee he will throw some of it up! So i caught it by accident and am soo glad i did!



No more carrying those dang car seats around any longer! The twins will not have it! This is the first time i stuck them in a shopping cart! They loved it!


At 6 months old Zane got his first two teeth! I had no idea they where even coming in, he was such a happy baby! Thank goodness!

Twins baby blessing`s

Here is the first and second half of this pic, i couldnt make it all fit.




We FINALLY blessed the twins Thanksgiving weekend! We planned it out perfect so all the family would be in town and my brother and dad could stand in the circle with Tim. We blessed the twins at my parents family ward, it was nice to be around people that i grew up with and have known Tim and I and what we have been through.
The blessing was amazing, the spirit was so so strong during each blessing. I didnt and couldnt close my eyes once throughout each blessing, i just stared at Tim, I was in awe that we were finally at this moment in our life, blessing our babies, and my wonderful husband was blessing each of them. Tim struggled and cried through each of the babies names, especially having to actually say Titus & Blake out loud, (normally we dont, it just hurts to much, we normally just say 'the first set of twins'). It just hurts to think we will never be able to bless our other children here on earth. After the blessing Tim held Sky and sat next to me...I watched him as he just started at her and tears fell from his face, i could just see the love on his face and the hurt of loosing his other daughter all at once. It was a special moment that i wont forget.
Both the twins did amazing through the blessing, they didnt make a peep! Thank goodness! Zane looks ridiculously handsome...of course & Sky looked absolutely beautiful.
Im so thankful for my dad and brother that were worthy to stand in the circle and support Tim.
Eight years from now and my twins will be in white for the second time and Tim will baptize each of them. Cant wait!

Almost 5 months!

The twins are almost 5 months old!! Wow! It seems like everyday gets easier with the twins, the older they get the more they can entertain themselves!
Neither of them are rolling over purposely on their own yet. They both HATE tummy time with a passion. Im hoping they start to crawl soon so they can do things on their own and not have to wait on me to move them around.
The twins 4 month stats are:
Zane 14lbs
Sky 10lbs
Here are a couple things about the twins.
Zane refuses to go the entire night without eating, he always wakes up around 230am for a feeding. He now arches his back, its really annoying cause its like he already throwing tantrums...?! He had his first stuffy nose, cough & fever, that was the WORST time so far, when it comes to having twins. All i wanted to do was old Zane and comfort him, but i couldnt cause i had another baby to care for... :(. It was really hard. He is such a happy baby now, he laughs all the time!
Skyler started biting my nipple! Grr, so i push her into my boob and also put my finger on her mouth and tell her 'NO', firmly...its kinda funny cause she starts BALLING and screaming loud when i do that, its like she knows im disciplining her and im not happy with her. Its kinda cute, i cant help but laugh. She is such a great sleeper! She will sleep from 8pm-5am wake up, feed, then go back to sleep until 7-8am! I love it! She is such a talker...so dang cute! She has always made the cutest noises! She will be all alone in her crib, on the couch or in her swing and just coo to herself then laugh, its super cute!
I started recording the twins a lot and wanted to put the videos online so i know i could never lose them! I upload all the videos to YOUTUBE. Check them out :). My goal is to do daily log, or at min weekly.

Zane is lookin over at the girls...DRAMA QUEENS! hehe. This is the first time the twins were able to meet their new friend Arli!

I always try to face the twins at each other so they can see one another! they will coo and touch each other constantly when they are this way. its super cute.



Zane has had over 5 hair cuts since he was born, but over the past couple weeks the hair on the top of his head has been slowly falling out...So he was almost bald on top, with long hair on the sides...yeah, he looked like an old man, not cute. So i decided it was time to buzz it, so that it can all grow back the same length. Skyler also had a hair cut, we trimmed all of her hair down to one length aswell. Tim didnt want the twins to feel singled out so he buzzed his head too! I love Tim with a shaved head! He hates it though. I think Zane looks wwaaayy older with no hair and kinda mexican.







Love my kids. They are almost 5 months old!


This is me, daily. Love it!

Bristol Clawson in the tahoe with sky and zane...on our way to Jerrae`s house for a play date. Its so fun the twins and Bristol are only a week apart and get to hang out almost everyday!!

My beautiful baby Sky, i am just so in love with this girl! She is such a sweetheart!

Zane and Sky are getting so dang big and just cuter everyday!!
