cuteness overload

 Last week- Laura was supposed to have the babies on Monday, they were delayed until Friday because she was sick. (poor Laura, it's going to be a while before she feels better!) Then, Chloe had to go back into the hospital for a couple of days... then our TV broke. Really? Really!! The TV too?

It was a long week

 and then

  

The babies were born on Friday!

All healthy & humongous - for twins anyway.

Chloe was home Saturday afternoon 

(she stopped by to see the babies on her way)

and then- came home for a bit- and then

went to the H.S. Valentine's dance with one of her dear friends Daniel.

(She was pretty overwhelmed- so much in one day- but had a GREAT time. Frankly we would not have let her go with anyone else.)

Plus my sister and family came to town to visit Brittany.

 Of course we didn't take any photos??

Saturday morning- Happiness started coming regularly in on our phones-

photos of the twins.

Crew above & below

Finn- he's just kicking back.

I'm sure they are both wondering where in the heck are they?

We visited in shifts-- then left them alone to rest.

Rest Laura Rest!

Rest Brian-- yes- you too!

Rest while you can.

I'm sure these little angels will be on eating & sleeping schedules soon!?

But you never know?

Are they the sweetest little twins ever or what?

and just so you are not worried---

today we got a new TV

~sigh~

It's looking up around here-

WAY UP

It's a wonderful life

really it is.

Yesterday was a better day
although I spent a good part of the day anticipating our afternoon scout field trip. You just never know how those are gonna go- and it was GREat!

In honor of Memorial Day coming up, we went to Fort Douglas & learned about Utah soldiers. It was a really cool place- outside there were tanks & army helicopters, really cool.

I came home to start making these-

Loads & Loads of cupcakes for a bridal shower tonight!

My cutest neighbor ever- is getting married next month- so there is a neighborhood shower tonight. We are serving cupcakes & slushes.

It was a great night to be in the house baking with all the American Idol excitement. I don't post or discuss the fact that I like American Idol- don't love it... not anymore....

I had a break through a few years back when my favorite contestant got voted off & I almost started crying, then was upset for days...???
Ya- I decided not to take TV so seriously.

But then- what do ya know?!!

Hooray Kris won!!

love him- love the guitar & piano & that voice- he totally deserved it!

Tune in to this blog tomorrow to see what us blogger mom's do with these cupcakes- they are helping me decorate them today during creative Thursday.
