mo-match update and pressing Q

Sooooo, YES i am TOTALLY still working on M0Matchelor you guys, but sheesh I've got newborned twins and Queenie & Glamma are still here helping AND BucketofVerility has had finals AND it's my turn to host craft nite next week. So needless to say but I will anywho, things are crazybusy around here!

But, to sooth your eager darling minds, let me update you on the Mo-Match business. Here's the sitch:

I got hunnerds of entries, mostly hotties and awesomes and only a couple wierdos {not you, frownsmile :[ }. I narrowed 'em down a little and now Micah and Steve and the nice people who nominated them are in the process of narrowing it down even more, THEN after I get permish from the cuties and try to peer-pressure Yvette into participating, I'll post the finalists and YOU can vote for who YOU want these guys to date and together we can find a lurve connection.

Sooo, I'll def keep you posted in the next week or so mmkay? In the mean time, here're a couple interesting facts that emerged in going thru the entries:

  • Both dudes got a billion entries though, seriously! More people nominated someone they know to date Micah, while more people nominated themselves to date Steve.
  • The name with the most entries was Heather. I don't know why but seriously there were like forty Heathers. Well, seven, but still, tons. I'm sure there nice but the name is just kind of hard for me bc JJWT made out w/ two Heathers when we were "seeing other people" in our dating days so it hurts my heart.
  • Ex-girlfriends, ex-home-teachees, ex-roommates and ex-neighbors all emailed or commented saying OMGOSH I LOVE THOSE GUYS! Best guys ever! Total catch! Sooo, total karmatic.
  • The matchelorette entries include: librarians, engineers, school teachers, MBA getters, RMs (sad!), single moms, a BUMLOAD of lawyers, nannies, runners, triathletes, musicians, nurses, dancers, social workers, a chemist, a pop star, a pharmacist, a psychologist, a med student and a BYU freshman.

Wow! Anyways, since we're moving soon do you think it's ok to double bless? Meaning, bless the twins THIS WEEK during May fast Sunday and again in June in our new ward in the mission filled?

There outfits are just so sweet and kick-A and no one but me and you and the internet and our families and the church records will know the diff...

Tridg's weenie

Also tons of you (TMI ALERT!) wanted to know if we circumscized Tridger.




......

......


Ruth was soooooo outraged by our circum-decision, but, after alot of prayer....




I realized it was definately best if him and JJWT were matchy-matchy.




Don't you think?

you're Qs: getting skinny, making babies, rocking tunes

Sorry I haven't blogged in fOrEvEr {two days}! Total slacker I know!! Just so busy reading blogs and stuff. The other day when you guys asked Qs about my life there were a few themes that imerged: getting skinny and making babies, two things that not to brag {I hate bragging} but that I obviously rock at.

The skinnybunz Qs:

The Boob Nazi said: I want to know how close you are to your pre-birth weight. Or is that a duh answer?
Janice & Don said "So I know you didn't get like huge or anything, but exactly how much did you gain with your stinkerbottoms? Have you lost it already?"
Amy said "TAMN, it's time to get into modest-bikini shape. Do you have any tips for slimming down FAST and looking amazing on the beach?"

Honestly, let me keep it real for a sec. Okay? Seriously you guys, I gained hardly anything. The down-there-doc told me I needed to just pack on pounds so I had to down hole milk and stuff and would just hardly gain an ounce even with twins! And, now I'm actually five ell-bees below my pre-preggo weight and there not even a month yet! So awesome slash wierd. I'll even post a ton of modest bikini pics to prove it. BUT if you look to closely you might realize they're actually from last summer, but just play along. lol.

Anyways, I have tonz of dieting tips. Not that I need to diet. I defiantly don't need to. I'm this skinny naturally. But I do have tons of tips. But that's like a whole nother post you guys so sit tight. No seriously, tighten your bum when you sit, I squoze my glutes 24/7 for a month and lost two pant sizes so now I'm a size negative which is a trail bc its impossible to find.

The making babies Qs:


Motion DeSmiths said: "TAMNs I've been married literally months and haven't even had ONE baby yet -- much less TWO!! Tell us how to make our love gardens as fertile as yours."
JessalynKate said "So I think I read that you and fertilebuns weren't trying when you got prego with the twins, but do you have advice for those of us who are trying to plant seeds in our (less than righteous) wombs??"

Ok this one is a sinch. You've probably already been taking prenatals since jr high bc they make your hair and nells grow, so that's a good start. If you want to be a mommy stat but hubby says no, just start accidently forgetting to take your b.c. pills but don't tell anyone. Or, replace them w/ Skittles. Then, nuzzle your brains out, and then pee on a stick, post pictures of the stick you peed on zoomed in so people can see the pee droplets and really feel part of the experience, and act totally flabbergassed about the whole thing. If this doesn't work I have no idea what to tell you, but, I'm pretty sure it always works.

Also, get this, Anne wanted me to turn off the musicplayer!!! She said "your awesomeness shines through way more if we are able to ponder in silence."

Ummmmmmmm, excuse me??

Never!

I love love LOVE knowing that thousands of people swear daily when there ears are assaulted slash startled when they forget to mute their computers. Do you even know me AT ALL!? Seriously, I would rather die than take my playlist off autoplay.

April 24, 2009

thankful, um, friday

In my time of trails, this week I am greatful for:

  • Shopping. Even though materialism makes me cry, it is honestly just so nice to be able to spend and spend til the amazing rush of severe dett kicks in and know that no matter how hard things get, at least I have new shoes which function like a cuter CTR ring to always remind me of the blessing of great taste I have.

  • The cArRiBbEaN cRuIsE Glamma is paying for after AngelBiscuit and me finish up finals! Ugh! MUCH-NEEDED brake! It will hard to be away from the twins, but perfect that they are starting to wean themselves, seriously I would lOvE lOvE lOvE to breastfeed them til age one but its wierd, my milk is dryed up ever since I stopped eating.

  • The patients I am learning by having to move to the mission filled this summer. {NOT for summer sells you guys, that was two summers ago when JJWT was saving up for the setting for the ring for the diamond daddy gave him. THIS time is for a law/biz/med/dental intern ship}. Do you know wear we're going for summer?

Hint: Brock lives there!

April 20, 2009

stream of conscienceness

These following things are on my cute n simple mind today:

*If you like darling free stuff like fetus & baby things, Scentsy, harps, haircuts, funny & heartwarning books, pedis, pictures, vinyl and/or ginorm arts n crafts shows, better enter the gIvEawAy before it ends tonite.

*I had no idea so many spinsties read my blog! These Mo-Matchelor entries are seriously amazing and I hope'n'pray we find a love connection! You can still enter for yourself or a freind but today's the last day so hurry and git your set-up on!

*This makes me think of Yvette who is my friend again. Guess she met some guys on the cruise who knew her from reading my blog and it was akward, lol. But now she's over it. She's coming to our GNO next week so I'll letcha know if she's getting depressed or fat or anything. It just breaks my heart to think of her so lonly ... Single and 21? Sad! Can you even imagine?

*Also Wicked is the best. I liked it before you did btw. Anyways, I'm going this week and each week for the next however many weeks it's here bc I am officially obsessed slash addicted and I liked it better on the girls trips I've seen it on when we went to LA and Chicago and NYC and everywhere eltse you can think of. I ask people to take pictures of me standing in front of it and sometimes I just shout WICKED! and yell YAY! for no reason.

*I canNOT beLIEVE it is SNOWED in APRIL! I literally cannot think of anything worse. SPRING WHERE ARE YOU!? I NEED SUNSHINE SO FREAKING BAD!!!

*Am sooooo greatful for my mommy {Alivyiah & Tridg call her "Glamma". Well they don't call her anything, bc there 3 wks old, but WE call her Glamma in baby voices so same dif} and soooo greatful for my MIL {the cuddlebuttons call her Queenie}. They are the best moms ever! Besides me. Honestly, they would of stayed w/ us 2 weeks for a normal baby, but bc of twins they stay double, so there here for a month! Love those darling women! Plus them being here has given me a bumload of free time which leaves me wandering, what room should I redo and post before and after pics of?

Choose your own TMI!

Thanx everybody for your e-mails and prayers and lurve and awesomeness and positive thinking!!

YES it is hard being this darling and
YES it is way tough having newborn twins and a hubby about-to-be-in-the-bishopric {probably} and
YES my third degree tear is heeling nicely (check the ticker for updates! --->) and
YES our finals for law/biz/med/dental school are coming up
{
I don't TAKE the finals per say, since "technically" i'm "not" actually "in school" but they are still OURS bc of all the cupcakes I have to ask the wive's club to make}!

But despite of all that, we're going to be fine bc we are seriously, so blessed.

And honestly, holy literal cow, I can't believe all the questions my darling e-BFFs have:

"TAMNers, are you engorged?"

"TAMNers, is your mom and your MIL still at your McMansion helping out?"


"TAMNers, do you ever pay for diapers or do you get them all for free from obsessive couponing?"


"TAMNers, are the twinsies sleeping thru the nite?"

"TAMNers, is Tridger's fohawk as ginorm as I imagine?"



In order to serve, I decided it's time for another e-heart-to-heart Q & A! So ask away in the comments {about my childbirthing, my extinsive parenting skillz, or anything you want!} and then soon I'll give you all like thirty times the TMI you were hoping for and you can all be so greatful to have heard about how far Tridgy pees, how much Alivyiah likes to play w/ my makeup and everybody's percentiles in everything and all of the "Helping your gifted child" books I've been skimming!

tHe riLL mEaNinG oF eAstEr & sOmE bIg nEwS

Soooo greatful for easter!

Decided not to go to our ward just yet {had nothing to do w/ Lynzii, just for the safety and wellbeing of my babies. Well and once I took pictures of us pointing at every meal for no apparent reason AND once we went to both our fam's and took pictures of us by our various loots, there ended up not being time for church and plus it was raining and I didn't want to ruin my hair} BUT it was still the best weekend ever!

Know why?

Not just bc I died tons of darling eggs and then made JJWT take the twinsies on there first easter egg hunt {meaning he took 100s of pics of me running around our yard finding dozens of treats I'd hid myself, while I held both babies and two ginorm baskets}, but also bc...

...

I found out thru the rumor mall that it's FINALLY time for a new bishopric in our ward!!


Speculation is sooo inappropriate slash inmature BUT I just have a prompting that my very own Angelbabe would look hot on the stand! With he being AP and in law/biz/med/dental school and a new dad it just seems perfect! How long til we find out for sure do you guys know?

I already picked out his counsellors just in case.

April 10, 2009

big parenting decisions way me down

This is like my first huge dillemm as a mom {besides circumscizion :)}.

Here's the thing:

Sunday is Easter. And my former-feti-now-twinsies have the freaking cutest outfits ever.
Alivyiah TreCole has the poofiest tutu in America with a bow the size of our Escalade and Tridger Kaegrin has the most darling vest and I've been practicing his special ocassion fo-hawk all week.

Sooooooo exited and seriously can't wait for their church debut and for everyone to see them and how flattering pastels are on my skinny post-pardon self.

but.

now.

I don't know.

I just don't know.

Just found out Lynzii is blessing her triplets on Sunday.

What to do? Go and risk letting her steal the baby spotlite, or stay home and let the Easter darlingness go to waist?

Ugh. Being a mom is sooo hard. I'm to young for these type of responsibilities!

April 9, 2009

my milky way

Hi guys! My darling new babies Alivyiah and Tridger ROCK and are AMAZING and i love, love, LOVE them but I need some of your in put!

Is breast seriously best or should I go bottle full throttle?


Breastfeeding pros:
  • my you-know-whats are ginorm
  • waaaay smarter babies!
  • bragging rights
  • show off my adorable hooter-hider in the mother's lounge
  • my darling lactation ticker which doubles as a scoreboard for my dedication to motherhood -->
Bottle Pros:
  • JJWT has to get up in the nite instead of me {hyperthetically...don't worry guys, they already sleep thru the nite}
  • No painful rhymes-with-mipples
  • No embarassing leakies
  • Keep my chest young and perky instead of a drooperfest
  • I can stop eating.
What a kinundrum! What do YOU think? Remember, no offense, but irregardless of what I decide to do, chances are it'll make me a better parent then you.

:)

April 3, 2009

little {awesome} update

guess who was finally able to adopt and just brought home
a beautiful baby boy this week?!


Congratulations, Mike & Emily!

My big day, part III

Part I and Part II are just a click away, respectively

((Warning: BIRTH STORY. I'm only sharing graphic details bc this is my journal and bc for some reason a ton of my friends are preggo so I need to help them know what they have to look fwd to so if your a placenta hater don't read))

Seriously, it was amazing. I'll never forget when VirileNougat yelled "SICK!" so lovingly as our babies barrelled out of me one after in other. The actual coming out part was the best ever even though I heard a little riiiiiiip. I was sooooo excited for them to see us! After the doc wiped the yuckies off of them, he laid the darling former-feti on my rapidly shrinking tummers and JJWT and I checked their parts.

Then, I squoze my dainty pelvis and two placentas plopped out! It was awesome to see and all the nurses commented on the richness of its color slash texture. Sooo greatful for afterbirth!

One of my 25 amateur photog friends was there to take shrivelly naked pics of our StinkerPoops sitting in buckets but they're still getting over-photoshopped so I don't have them just yet but trust me they are GORGEOUS.

We are head-over-heals in love LOVE love w/ them! Everyone go have tons of babies it rocks. Know what I realized on my jog this morning? At first it was hard but now after 3 days home parenting is a total snap! Angelbabe and me and my mom and MIL and the MiaMaids are doing awesome!

I almost didn't tell you guys bc this is a PUBLIC BLOG but I can't keep it to myself...

Announcing....

Alivyiah TreCole
{our darling princess}


&


Tridger Kaegrin
{he is ALL. BOY.}


Aren't the names amazing? Do you love them? Tell me the truth!*

*do NOT tell me the truth, just say you love them.
