Trip East

Greg and I just got back from our trip to the East Coast. It was my first time that far east.

We went because Greg was a Groom's man for Glenn Ramero. Greg and I met Glenn our first year of college in Powell, Wy. Greg and Glenn were in music together and were also roommates their second year at college.

The wedding was held in Stonnington, CT at an old stone church. The reception was held at a winery and it was absolutely beautiful! We had a great time, got to eat a lot of yummy sea food, enjoyed visiting with everyone and meeting a lot of new people.

After the wedding we spent a few days being tourist in, and around Boston. We ate at some of the oldest restaurants in the U.S., we took a DUK tour with goes on land and in water and we walked around all of Boston.

Here are a few picture from our wonderful trip...

15 months

Tuesday the boys had their 15 month check up & shots. They had the last of their shots until they are 2!!! Yah!

Cael weighed- 25.6 lbs, height-32 inches

Graden weighed-25.1 lbs, height-32 inches

They are in the 50% for weight & 75% for height, the doctor predicts that they will be 6' + when they are full grown. Just like Greg:]

Greg & I have always thought that the boys are Fraternal twins. This is what our OB Doctor told us before we had them. Just because they had two separate placentas and two separate sacs. Which they still can be identical... it just depends on how early the egg splits. If it splits right away, they would have two separate everything. If the egg splits later there would be one placenta and two sacs, if it's even later then there is just one placenta and one sac. I didn't know all this until just recently. So Greg and I have been questioning this a lot lately. The boys still look soooo much alike, have the same facial features, eye color, hair color, both have wavy hair, they have always been the same size, and now they are getting the same teeth at the same time & in the same order! Graden & Cael also have the same blood type... so our doctor told us that he thinks they are identical. Our only way to know for sure now is to do Genetic testing. We are planning on having it do just so we can know and not question it any more. The only thing is it's a little pricey to have the test done.

Last weekend we went to Oahe Dam by Pierre SD. We got to hangout with family, play in the water & dirt. It was a great time... too short of a trip. Hopefully next year we can camp all weekend.

Tomorrow I am going to take the boys for their first & my first bike ride on the Mickelson Trail. We are going to ride 18 miles! Wish us well:] I'm just hoping it doesn't decide to rain.

Summer Pictures

Graden, Cael & Brady- on the boys 1st birthday. They look like they are just hanging out talking about the baseball game.

The boys and I watching the Lander parade on the 4th of July.

Greg, Graden, Cael & Jessie- hanging out in our new sand box. What a great night, all of our friends and their kids came over. We BBQed and then hung out outside.

Summer 2008

Wow, I can't believe that August is almost over... summer is almost over. It has deffently been a busy summer.
We started the summer off with Iva's wedding. It was at Ruby's garden in Spearfish. What a beautiful location and everything went so well.
Audie came and stayed with us the end of June. It was so nice to spend quality time with her since we only get to see each other a few times a year. She just lives too far away! Audie helped out with the boys, even watched them by herself a few times. She watched them one night so Greg and I could go out for our 4 year wedding anniversary. That was really great! Then the boys and I went back to lander with Audie for the 4th of July. I don't remember Lander being so loud on the 4th, probably because I was making a lot of noise along with everyone else. This year I had babies trying to take naps and sleep at night! We still had a great time even though there was a lack of sleep. The middle of July the boys and I went to Hoven, SD so we could see Great Grandma Helen. She hadn't seen them for awhile so we went and spent a few nights with her. The end of July was Erins wedding and I was a brides maide. She was absolutly beautiful! Then all of these motorcycles and vendors started showing up in Sturgis! Oh, yah... The Sturgis Motorcycle Rally!!! HA! This town just gets crazy... so the boys and I head to Lander for the week. Greg gets to stay and run the Silverado/ Franklin and make sure everything runs smoothly! He said this year was pretty quiet.
Now we've been enjoying some down time. We have had some friends over to play in our new sand box and BBQ. The nights have been just about perfect.

This Blog is longer than I planned, but I guess since it's my first one I should catch everyone up on what we've been doing.
