everyone chillax!

timeout to say: My darling Q was not an announcement...don't you think I would know if I was preggo and instablog it?

Last time I knew JJWT's righteous seed had been planted in my wombgarden at the very moment of conception, and believe me you guys will be the first to know after me and CutieWootie. Don't want to rush into anything so we'll prolly wait another couple weeks. LOL. It would be sooo romantic to make a baby in the mission filled!



Seriously everyone, I was just asking hypathetically to make sure. Even though my milk dryed up when I stopped eating {weeeiiiird} so they've kinda weened themselves, I've nursed the twins exclusively since day one, meaning I haven't nursed any other babies and they haven't nursed from any other mommies. As long as you do that, it's definately impossible to get preggers. Right?



That's what one of my darling friends said and if there's one thing I treat as reliable in this world it's anecdotle evidence.

up hill battles

{sigh}
soooo busy and sooooo tired!

not only was my cruise not as long as it should of bin bc of my parental giving, but also we had to seriously book it home to hurry and hit the road so we could make it to Lake Pal for the holiday.

Sad! Didn't even have time to go to church yesterday which was supposed to be the Mia Maid's chance to say bye to me before we move so guess we'll just have my farewell party for mutual this week and ditch the service @ the hobo shelter again.

My life is seriously the busyest ever. Not even two seconds to unwind, just from one boat to an other, go go go.

Life can be sooo hard. Hope your holiday is easier then mine.

ummmmm

you can't get preggo when your nursing, right?

sacrificial TAMN

You know, e-BFF The Grays asked me a while back:

TAMN, we all know that being a mom means sacrifice. What is the biggest sacrifice you have had to make since your twinses were born?

Wow! It seriously does mean sacrifice but those of you who aren't me can't rilly understand it, so its way hard for me to explain it.

Depth is the best.

Reflected all over that Q for a while and am starting to realize {is that even a word?} that I sacrifice my bum off basicly all the time.

I mean, I'm not complaining, but I think my biggest sacrifice is just in all the little things and how they ad up, you know?

I mean, it's HARD having your mom and MIL live w/ you {love you guys! You are sooo darling and such kickA examples to me!!},
and its way hard always sleeping w/ ear plugs {bc it makes my teensy ears produce like double the wax, gross, I know}, and its hard always making room for diapers in my Target shopping cart amist the sassy lamps and picture frames.

Those kind of sacrifices I just never excpected.

And seriously, it's hard to be on this cruise for only five days bc if it weren't for Alivyiah and Tridger we would of taken at least ten. And bc of them, I had to schedule the cruise to overlap w/ the Bachelorette premier and now I'm WAY out of the loop!

But you know what, despite of everything, I can say that overall, weather I'm tired or not, and even thru the long nites and the shortened cruising and the poop stains on my Anthro sweaters, and even though I can't have my bangs as sassily long as I want bc I have to be able to see more now, and even though I don't have enough time to devote to making hideous headbands bc I'm busy asking people to fold laundry and make dinner, no matter what....

it's
so
worth
it.


Isn't it darling how deep and grown up I am now?

but honestly i miss david archuletta

My most favorite vaycay, hands down and bar nun, is cruises. And this cruise is going awesome!!


Seriously guys I'm so tan its nasty, and am having so many {virgin...blush} pina caladas and am judging so many people at the buffet and shaken my tell feathers and all that. Trust me THIS IS AWESOME!

Oh yeah, I miss Lyvs and Tridgs so much I just bawl between massages and pedis. In case your reading this, love you!


Have to pause paradise though bc I all of a sudden realized that you guys might get the wrong i-dih about me and think I was lame and out of touch and not a hip young darling mom if I went a whole entire season w/o blogging about AMERICAN IDOL!


Would of been soooo embarassing!

Sooo, isn't it amazing? Whose your most favorite? Does Kris remind you of a hottie EFY councilor you wrote on his mish? Is it against the plan to cheer for the gay? OMGosh love them both!!


{blogged from my tanning oil splotched iphone on the carribbean }

nuzzzz....

so I want to take time today to tell you that thanx to my tiredless efforts we comprimised and are now going on both of the cruise and the yawner sr citizen field trip {no offense, just being honest when I say it's lame and only boring people like it, I mean it's fine if you're boring, that's you're choice, I'm not judging}.


And plus I want to also tell you how I've been
crying and crying and crying thinking
about leaving this wonderful place and saying good-bye to all my memories here to raise the twins {for 2 mos} alone in the mission filled, and

I also want to tell you about all the cute, super unique hair crap I've been finding on etsy for Alivyiah, and seriously I can't wait to tell you about where were going to be living in DC {{squeeeeeeeeeee!!}} but there is seriously zero time for any of that considering that ...



okay, i want to respect me and my hot hobby's privacies so I won't give any deets and I seriously hate TMI bc it's soooo akward, but I'll just say I'm way to busy



NUZZLING LIKE CRAZY!!

:)

{comments off bc I'm wayyyyyy shy about everyone knowing I'm jumping Angelbabe, sooo embarassing I can't believe I dared blog that}

vaycay gone lamekay

Remember how we're going on a post-baby cruise next week and I stopped eating anything besides lettuce and squeeky cheese so my modest bikini pics would be extra darling and even made a paperchain countdown and really deserve the chance to relax and take some me time for once??

Wellllll, time to start calling SOMEONE Ruin Everything Ruth!!! She's been talking to my MIL and seriously thinks we should......................


go on a family church history trip.

seriously.

church history instead of a cruise!

Sooooo not even kidding! She is dead doornell serious! She said we have to drive back east anyway if I want to have my Escalade in DC so we may as well hit the church history sites.

Ummm. Helloooo? IS THIS A JOKE? Does Nauvoo even have beaches? Is there a formal nite in Kirkland??


This is insanety!

I need a vacation, not a field trip.

back in the preverbial nuzzle saddle

**tmi alert**

Sooo, I wanted to post a tribute to my mommy with a darling pic of us together from my wedding, but this is way more urgent.


Today I'm going to the DTD for my six week check up, you know, down there.


Basically I've heard the DTD is going to check out my, ahem, to be technicle, "choo-chee" and then give me the green light and AngelCutie and I are back in business, soda speak.


Ack!

{higher, less enthusiastic slash way more concerned & whinny "BAAAAA!"}

Don't get me wrong, we have always had a GREAT great nuzzle life, but guys only 6 wks ago I had two twins....NATURALLY! The whole thing is seriously just kinda scarry.

I mean, I look hotter than ever, trust me it's defiantly not a body image thing, but w/ my third degree tear all heeled, and then official time to, um, get busy again, am I seriously ready to nuzzle? Will everything be normal in the nether regions of the south? Should I be nervious? About, you know, THAT? Should I fib and tell HoneyBunz the doc said to wait a couple more months?


**blush**


I'm way open but also way shy so plz, PLZ, if you have any advise, make sure its only in absurd euphemisms. Love you!

*cringe*

{...awkward blank stare smiley pause while I wait for you to say it back...}

bLeSsInG uPdAtE ~ fiNaLLy!

I am soooo embarassed! Not only is it Friday and I'm just now writting about my babies's blessing on Sunday so I'm five days behind in my blog journal, but I was also SOOOO tired the other day that I accidentally used actual parinthesees, you know, ( ) instead of the cute ones { }.

i could just die! i want to die even thinking about it! plz none of you think I would ever do that on purpose, ok?? Promise?

Anyways, the blessing was sooo awesome. I was extra greatful I made Queenie & Glamma redo Alivyiah's dress that fourth time to have it look exactly like my wedding dress, totally worth all the guilting and tears, and thanx to the benadryll the twins didn't make a peep the whole time. We could NOT be happier...the ginorm shadows from Alivyiah's bow covered her baby zits and same w/ Tridger's fohawk so it worked out perfect!

I mean sure, {white teeth clench} my darling JJWT didn't follow the script I gave him as close as I would of wanted but he did awesome and spelled out the names after he said 'em

{A-l-i-v-y-i-a-h T-r-e-c-o-l-e & T-r-i-d-g-e-r K-a-e-g-r-i-n}

so everyone got to really ponder there uniqueness. Then I testified of our awesomeness by telling my birth story from the pulpit and then left during the closing song to get the mini-cupcakes ready.

so, so greatful.

seriously the tiredest ever

{click here for the giveaway below}

soooo tired.


last night was my first night w/o queenie & glamma.


holy crap.


they took turns screaming all night. honestly. i can't even see right now.

diapers everywhere. no miamaid answered my emergency midnite texts.

zero sleep. ginorm bags under cute eyes.

jjwt had a final this morning so i had to pull an emma and do it alone.

my head is seriously pounding.


ugh.

i don't even have the energy for random capitalization or periodically increasing the font size!

can't blog today.

**smudgy old tarantula eyerub**

holy crud, couponing rocks

Soooo, I have a TON to report about the beauty and fancyness of yesterday's baby blessing, but that will have to wait bc I just got back from...

the best.

couponing.

of.

my.

life.

I'm so addicted! I don't know if I told you this but I get 20-30 copies of the Sunday paper JUST for the inserts bc I'm a hardcore couponer!!!

Let me clairify: its definately NOT bc we're poor {we're so not}, just for a fun way to save $ AND look thrifty AND compete w/ freinds.

So since its Glamma and Queenie's last day here, at 6 AM this morning, I went to Smith's/Albertson's/Walgreens & elbowed like forty other coupon chicks outta my way so I could rock the double coupon day and double up on my catalinas and manufacturers and $1 offs and check out everything I halled home!

60 boxes of cereal
36 diet pringles
100 crystal light mixes
lifetime supply of kotex {not shown}
more toilet paper than the whole state will ever use
Lysol wipes galore
mini rice cakes
tons of eggs for JJWTs protein shakes
bumload of juice boxes
cookies {for ruth}
mandarin oranges
...name something else....
...I'll wait while you think of it...
yes! I also got 100 of those, too!

{this is only half of it}

Ok so it took me 43 transactions and three different checkers. Firstly I went to some grumpy old lady who kepp reading fine print {whatever!} so I finally switched lanes to this zitty teen who was way busy checking out my hot self so just scanned whatever I gave him, lol. THEN I finished up at the self check out.

Price before coupons...$530.56.
Price AFTER coupons? $4.47!

i saved $526.09, or something. And when my $10 rebate comes in the mail I will of MADE $5! Yay!

{no that is not my house. can't you tell? no damask or alleged "vintage" anywhere!!}

ew.

hellllp!

my big day of blessing the babies

{JJWT is technically the one doing it but we all know its really an inflection on ME}
is about to be ruined.

Not only is it raining so my decorated gazebo is going to waste, but...

ick...

guys, I can't even type it.


*deep breath-ing**

Alivyiah & Tridger decided to get freaking acne this morning and are covered in the world's most horrible ugly teensy baby zits.


It is SOOOOOO gross.


ugh.

I wish they had photoshop for real life.

To My Twins: Best Month Ever!

Happy One Month Birthday {the other day} to Tridger & Alivyiah!!

My dearest darlings, Alivyiah TreCole and Tridger Kaegrin,

Holy crap, you are the best babies ever! Seems like just yesterday I was squeezing you out of my dainty womb that shrunk back to teensy w/in seconds of expelling you, and here you are, on your one month birthday! I fill sooooo bad for everyone whose not me bc they aren't you're mom and being your mom is the best.

Love cuddling you, love handing you off to Queenie & Glamma when you get get mad or gross, love putting earplugs in while you cry it out til you get sleep trained, love manipulating daddy with how hard it is to be me, love how you giggle when I put a bit of diet coke in a straw and drop it in your little mouths, love how you snuggle up to my warm glowing skin when I first get home from tanning, and and love the paper chain countdown I made til you're two months and they'll FINALLY let me pierce Alivyiah's ears! There are just so many joys I'd of never understood til you were born! I could just eat you up, can even you imagine??? That would be crazy!
