(Still trying to get all caught up before two little people make their debut any day now)

Danny and Amanda's wedding in SLC.



Dave always claims that he and Danny have a special sort of bond and can read each others minds because they were born exactly two years apart and obviously share the same birthday. Dave just "knew" that Danny and Amanda were going to get married when they were dating. I am so glad that he was right, Amanda is such a fun sis-in-law!

Enjoying the exhibits.
The reception was beautiful and was held at the museum of fine arts on the U campus.
Back in PA... Luke and I hopped on the train and met my dad and family in Philadelphia for the day while they were in town. Luke became super trendy this summer and wouldn't take his Silly Bandz off for three straight months.
Uncle Anthony pushing Luke through the city was the best.
Liberty Bell...me, Mitchel, Angie, Anthony, L.
The boys and Grandpa Danny.
Luke rode the train home from Philly sitting like this the whole time. It was pretty cute and trains are a mom's best friend.

Happy Turkey Day

Little Chief
Luke's embarrassed face because I am taking a picture with him and his cute teachers.

On our way out to enjoy a nice Thanksgiving feast with some ward friends.

Bump It

17 weeks

20 Weeks

25 weeks

Even though taking single shots of myself goes against my better judgment I am determined to document the growing belly. It is not too often that one is pregnant with twins so I have to capture the goods. I still have about 10-12 weeks left and I am very interested to see how big this belly can get.
The boys are kicking like crazy these days and I can already tell which one is going to be the crazy one that will always be in trouble for waking up his brother! But I do have to say that I am loving being pregnant with these little tykes.

May 2010

Family time- Jackson, Cara, Camilla, Jordan and baby Walker came out for a fun filled Memorial weekend visit.

Luke knows how to win over the uncles. He came downstairs one morning and saw that Jordan was wearing his Utah t-shirt and so he raced upstairs and threw his on. He looks so proud!
Nerd alert! Now all of the boys are wearing their Utah gear.
Tinfoil dinners and s'mores at Shank Park.

It is so weird to see these old pics of myself without the gigantic belly.


Swimming at the lake and looking for frogs.






Cutie Walker endured Luke's baby talk, squeezing and shoving toys in his face the whole trip. Thanks for coming all the way out from Michigan and Utah everyone!

Lancaster- Amish Country

It always makes me smile to see the Amish walking around like it is no big deal. I think that I secretly want to be Amish because I love to see them all in their clothes, riding their horse and buggies and taking care of their beautiful farms. I always think that they are the smart ones to not have to deal with the fancy houses and cars, annoying facebook and so on but then I realize that they never are smiling and it makes me appreciate my dvr that much more.

Date night in the convertible buggy.



This never stops cracking me up. There are seriously buggies parked next to you when you go out to the outlets or Costco. Does no one else think this is funny? And why in the world do I occasionally see Amish people shopping at H&M and the Pottery Barn outlet. Stay away, you are too good for all of that materialism!

Memorial Day

Memorial Day Parade (such a great picture, I know).
Luke and his friend Tate paying their Memorial Day respects to their hero...Mr. Milton Hershey.

Catching up *February *March *April

Ashley, Samuel, Eli, me, Eliza and Luke
Lize had a work trip in NY so Ash picked her up from Connecticut and drove out to stay with us. It was so fun to have them out here. It only takes 4 hours from Ct to Hershey. Amazing! Luke and I made the trek out to stay with Ash and fam our first summer here and I could not believe that I drove through 4 states in four hours. Love the east coast.

Dave working the fireman uniform! We had our PIM playgroup at the fire station and Dave had the morning off so he decided to join us and being the only adult male there he was stuck trying on everything.







"Protecting His Dream" with a Hershey kiss on the fire truck. I love this place. I was surprised to find out that all of the firefighters in the towns around here are volunteer based. No one gets paid at all. I don't get it. Our house is on the same street as the fire station and we always get to hear the sirens calling all the volunteers into the station. It freaked me out a little at first because it sounds exactly like an old school tornado warning alarm.
Easter egg hunt at Shank Park


Easter morning
Egg hunt at the outlets
Ice skating- Dave suddenly had the urge to take Luke ice skating after watching the Olympics. He said something about how Luke could be this natural skater like Apollo Ono but we would never know it. After seeing Luke ice skate I am pretty sure that he is no natural. He was very cute though.
