Recall notices

Here I am reading my Parents magazine when I noticed that I own 2 of the products on the recall list. I started thinking how in the heck am I supposed to know if an item has been recalled. Alas there is a website you can go to and sign up for recall notices based on child products, outdoors products, homes products etc. I thought it was a great idea. I called the phone #'s listed for the products I own that have been recalled and they are sending me new parts.

Lily has learned to LAUGH OUT LOUD!!!!

Here is the first and only video of Lily laughing out loud!!! She just started today. I made the videos smaller so they upload faster. Just a little feature I discovered on the camera : p

Do I dare say it....... or blog about it?

Last night the babies had another fantastic night. They took their last bottle at 6:30 pm were alseep by 7 pm and slept until 2 AM!!!!!! I had to go in once about 8 and pick Preston up and rock him back to sleep. I didn't have to feed him though. I only did the rocking to prevent waking Lily. It only took about 10 mins and he was out again. I fed them at 2 m was back in bed by 2:30 and slept until 7 am. Can it be that they are really getting the hang of this sleeping thing. I will see what tonight brings. Aunt Tasha is coming over to "watch" them after I put them to bed. Tonight I get to go to my moms of multiples meeting. I haven't been since I was pregnant. So I am very excited to get to go. Aaron has his first guitar lesson at the church.
Today I bought their Easter outfits. These will also be the outfits they will wear at their baby dedication. I think it will be at the end of March but that will be a later post. Their outfits are so cute. I tried Lily's on and started crying. She looks like a little doll. Preston is sleeping so I can't try his on. I can't wait until you can see them.

Here are some pics of our trip to Louisiana.

Our fabulous weekend

We had such a fabulous weekend in Louisiana. I love going to visit Aaron's family. We got to LA about 7 Friday night. The babies were very tired and it took a little while to get them to bed. They did ok the first night though. It's to be expected being in a different place and being past bedtime. Saturday we woke up and got ready for Presley's birthday party. I can't believe she is already 1. Time flies by so fat. We had a great time she is so freakin cute. Presley got alot of nice things including a power wheels 4 wheeler. She was a little nervous to get on it at first but now I think she likes it. Saturday night Aaron and I got to go all by ourselves to eat boiled crawfish. It was very yummy!!! We couldn't have asked for better weather this weekend. The whole weekend was blue skies and not cold at all. Saturday night it stormed but quickly cleared up in time for us to wake up to a beautiful Sunday. We stayed outside and bbqed all day. Even the babies got to come outside to join the fun! We came home today and made it in record time 3 and half hours. Oh I forgot to mention last night we gave the babies their regular bottle at 6:30 pm and they went to sleep at 7 and didn't wake up until 1 AM!!!! 6 hours yup that's right!!! Then they woke up at their regular time at 7 am. I could get used to this but I won't. I know it was a rare thing because they were so tired from the weekend. I enjoyed my sleep though.
I have pictures I will put up tomorrow.

Lily's doctor appt

Lily's doctor appt went well. He gave me another kind of eye drops to use. He said to give it a week and if it is not better to call him. He said he is not concerend with her weight. She is gaining and eating fine. If he isn't worried then I won't be. She doesn't throw up anymore. She just spits up after each feeding. I have been successful at increasing her intake over the past day though. Now she is able to take at least 5 oz at every feeding. Preston is up to 6 sometimes 7 oz. I made a cake today for Valentine's day. Martha Stewart I am not but at least it's edible.

Hi all

We had a quiet weekend. Daddy got home safe and sound on Friday. He was a bit jet lagged so we didn't do much. We went out to Del Pueblo, our favorite mexican restaurant. They have the best margaritas, don't they nana! hehe. Saturday Michelle and Chris stopped by to show us their new Enclave, that thing is niiiice!! It is so classy looking. Ashley went home with them to spend the night. Me, Aaron and the babies went to Dustin and Tasha's to help them move some furniture. They got a new couch that is also very nice. Sunday was church. After we got home I went and picked up Ashley. The weather has been so nice here so we worked in the yard and Aaron washed the car. The babies even came outside and played in the pack n play.
I weighed the babies this morning Preston weighs 13 lbs 4 oz and Lily weighs 10 lbs 7 oz. Lily has a dr appt tomorrow for her eye. She has yellow stuff coming out of it again and the drops aren't helping. I am going to ask him about her weight too and see if there is something we can do to put a little meat on her bones. She eats the same time as Preston but he eats 6 to 7 oz and she eats 4 to 5 oz then spits up alot of it. We started Preston on cereal. Not too get him to sleep longer but to make him fuller. We gave him a little last night and he loved it. he kept opening his mouth real big when Aaron would get the spoon close to his mouth. Lily isn't ready for cereal yet , she can barely handle formula. The funny thing about cereal is that people think it's like a magic potion to get your babies to sleep longer. It doesn't! At least not mine. Preston still woke up at his regular time, midnight, and ate his regular amount. I had to wake Lily up to feed her. So they ate at 7, midnight, 4 am and 8 am. Not bad.
Aaron is feeling a bit under the weather so he is working from home today. Me and the babies went to Jazzercise and brought daddy some lunch home.

My Daddy's 60th birthday party

Yesterday I threw my dad a 60th birthday party at my brother, Dustin's house. It turned out to be an awesome day. I am so proud of the cake. I had it done at Kroger. I gave them a picture and they scanned it onto edible icing and put it on the cake. It turned out so awesome.

WTF

The stupid video thing isn't working or the spell check. What in the world is going on here? UGHHHH

Whew we are busy

So this week has been pretty busy. I have really been sticking to my walking. Wednesday I walked with Jenn around her neighborhood about 4. It is so nice walking in the afternoon and getting it over with. Thursday we decided to walk at 3:30. It was so windy but turned out to be great resistance. My legs and butt were killing me Friday morning. Thursday evening we went to Tasha's for dinner. She cooked lasagna and decided to share with us since Aaron is gone. Friday we had MOPS and then went to McDonalds afterwards to let the kiddos play. Not mine of course, Jenn's daughter, Kiera and Jakob and Kate. Then last night I went to a crop at Jenn's house witht he babies until 3 am!!!!! Holy crap that's so late. The babies did so well otherwise I would not have stayed that late. I fed them and put them to sleep before I got to Jenn's and they slept until midnight. I fed them and they went right back to sleep. When I got home I fed them again and they slept until the lawn man came at 8:30 AM!!!! The guy comes once a month and today was the day. Oh well I am off to bed after this.
I plan to go and join Jazzercise on Tuesday. I am at the size I want to be and in order to stay here I have to get crackin.
Both babies are doing so much lately. Lily is babbling and smiling like crazy. She still has her stomach issues but they are both so happy. Tomorrow we get to see the whole family at Pawpaw's 60th birthday party. YIPPY!!!!

Take care- Staci

PS~ I am so mad. I have tried and tried to add videos from Photbucket. I have never had a problem until the past few days. I don't mind uploading them from blogger but it takes FOREVER!!!!
