Halloween Night!

Here are the girls ready to go get some candy!!!

Our cool pumpkins....
It was so cold and rainy... these two little ones got so cold that they came home after about 30 min. After Hannah warmed up I took her and Makenna back out in the car to other neighbors!

They got so much candy and had fun even though it was FREEZING!!!

Happy Halloween everyone!

I hope you had as much fun as we did!!

We had our party at my moms house. There were 3 less kids than usual because my brother and his family moved to Virginia. We missed you guys!

Our games.....
Musical Chairs... with a fish pond for prizes

The mummy game.... Alexa got to become a mummy!

And of course the donut game....


Party at Grandma's....
These were the only pictures I took.
Matt's mom wanted to play this game where they put shower caps on their head and then put shaving cream on the caps.... everyone then throws Cheetos on their heads and we count up how many are on there and they are the "winner"......

The girls really wanted to try it out.....

The "Baby"

So today, I went in for my 16 weeks gender check ultrasound. When we went in, I got on the table and the ultrasound tech started doing her stuff. She asked me if I had an ultrasound with this pregnancy yet, and I told her that I had at 9 weeks. Then she said, "So you know you are having twins, right?" Um no! We had NO idea. The doctor didn't catch that in the 9 week ultrasound. I don't really know how he missed a whole BABY!! But what the heck! OK, so I am a little nervous. I never thought in my life, I would ever have twins! This is just crazy.

I really hope that every thing will be okay. My sister reminded me that Heavenly Father is not going to give me something I can't handle, so I guess I just need to put my faith in the Lord and handle this, right? I know everything will be fine and that I will be able to deal with this, but Twins!! WOW!! I am still in shock about this.

I have to buy 2 car seats, a new crib, new clothes. Crazy.
So here is the picture of my two babies.... baby A and baby B......


So now onto the sex of the babies.
Well as we all know, Matt and I already have 3 girls.
So..... here's another one..... baby B is a girl......

And our little baby A..... Welcome to our family, our first little boy!

Wish me luck with everything! I am sure going to need it!!
We are really excited and I am so happy about both of them, but especially since Matt gets his boy. His sister just wanted to come down with him at the same time!
I already LOVE you little babies. We'll see you sometime in March!

Our 1st Halloween Party

We had our 1st of the many to come Halloween parties on Monday night. We had invited some of the neighborhood friends to come over and have a fun party with all the kids too. It was fun, a little crazy.... I think we had 40 some odd people here (including kids.)

We had a lots of fun. We started off eating dinner. We had soup, salad and rolls and everyone brought some yummy treats.
I made these little Halloween ghost rice krispies.....

The kids all played games... Hannah got to become a mummy!!

We had a pinata and did a little donut relay game......


A lot of the adults dressed up......
Matt was a police detective and I was his prisoner......

All of the girls......

And the guys......( some of the guys had taken off their costumes)

Gardner Village

I LOVE going to Gardner Village this time of year and seeing all of the fun witches! I took my girls with my mom over UEA this past Friday.

It was crazy with all of the people there, but I was excited to go see them and to take Makenna while she was out of school.


My little cuties with my mom.....

My new nephew...

My sister Stefanie had her little baby boy on Sunday, October 10, 2010. It was cool how it worked out that he was born on 10-10-10.... her water just broke at 4 am that day and there he was.

I took Makenna and Hannah up to the hospital to see him on Sunday. He is such a cute little boy.

Welcome to the world Tayt Tyler Dennison!!!

An Announcement!!

Alexa came walking up to me the other day, and showed me her belly..... She said she had a baby in it, and kept rubbing her tummy!


Well I haven't officially put this on my blog yet, but no Alexa doesn't have a baby in her tummy, but I do!!

We are expecting our 4th baby on April 11th.
So right now, I am almost 14 weeks along. I get to go in and find out what we are having on October 26th, so that will be lots of fun. I am really excited to find out what we are going to be having.

For those of you who know, I found out at 34 weeks that I had a blood clot in the left side of my brain when I was pregnant with Alexa. I had to do shots with her and was on cumaden for a while.

The doctors told me to wait at least 2 years before we tried to get pregnant, which we did. The other thing they told me was that I was going to have to do heparin shots (it's a blood thinner) for the whole pregnancy.

So here I am pregnant and doing heparin shots twice a day for the ENTIRE pregnancy. So far it is going good. My stomach is bruised and it's a pain to do the shots, but we felt that we had another baby to bring into our family and this was just a nuisance that I was going to have to deal with.

We are so excited to bring one last little sweet baby into our home and family. We are greatful for this opportunity and can't wait to find out what we will be having in 2 weeks!!!
