Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful & blessed Thanksgiving. Greg & I hosted Thanksgiving at our house this year. Gary & Dee Ann, Matt & Christine and Willy & Tina were all able to join us.

This was my first Thanksgiving that I cooked everything! Believe it or not but it all turned out great. We all ate so much that we couldn't move... deffently fat & happy! Graden and Cael loved all the attention with having both sets of Grandparents here. They were being big show-offs, showing everyone all the new tricks they can do and making everyone laugh. Auntie Christine made sure they got their fill of Black Olives, she taught them to put them on their fingers and then eat them. So they would walk up to whoever was by the relish tray and stick their fingers out.

Dee Ann and Christine ended up staying the night at our house so they could go sh oping for Black Friday... at 5am!!! Maybe next year I can join them:]

My parents were able to stay for the whole weekend. The boys loved having them here to play with and spoil them. We went to Spearfish and played at the park on Friday. Then on Saturday Laurie & Chad came over and we went over to Rapid City, ate dinner and then we all went and watched the Light Parade. All the kids loved the lights but Graden & Brady didn't last very long. They both fell asleep about half way through. Cael was really into the lights and was pointing them out before they would get to us.

We had a busy but very fun Thanksgiving weekend. We are blessed to be able to spend it with the Family & Friends that we love so much!!!

Video

This video is old... but I haven't put any videos on here yet and this was an experiment. This was a cute video... it'll make you smile!

There will be more pictures and videos to come. Greg just gave me my birthday gift early... a new camera!!! I'm so excited!

The BIG snow!

Wednesday night it started snowing... and turned into a blizzard. This went on for two days & dumped record setting amounts in 24 hours. Greg made it up to work Wednesday night and didn't get back home until this morning at 2 am. Graden, Cael and I were stuck in our house the whole time. We are really luck we had enough food, diapers and milk. We are also luck we had power... majority of Sturgis and Whitewood lost their power. What an experience!

Halloween

For Halloween this year the boys were Firemen and I was a their fire dog, a Dalmatian. We went up to Deadwood with some of our friends, saw Greg, trick-0r-treated at the casinos, and then ate dinner at the Silverado. It was a great night. I can't wait for next year when the boys can get excited about dressing up and all the candy!

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.
