"Jumping in their cribs together, they do this every morning, they get some good air. One of these days they will just jump right over."

Twins have arrived

My sister-in-law and brother-in-law (Jacob's brother) had their twins last night. She had an emergency C-section and delivered at exactly 26 weeks gestation. Emily weighed 1 pound 13 ounces and Wyatt weighed 2 pounds 8 ounces. They are stabilized and are at valley children's here in fresno. They are troopers and we are hoping the best for everyone. Keep them in your prayers. Life is precious.

Deal of the week!

If you live in California and live near a Save Mart, you are in luck! My dad called me this morning and found this awesome deal on Kelloggs cereal! They are $1 per box! Awesome! You have to use the in ad coupon which is available right when you walk into the store, and also the coupon on the box and they should come out to 4 for $4.00! We bought 8 cereals and they let us use the coupon on all of them! If you are lucky they will do the same for you. If not have your husband buy four and you buy four and you will 8 boxes of cereal for 8 bucks! We love cereal and this is a great deal! Thanks Dad!

Recipe of the week

I am a visual person so here are some pics of my "Recipe of the week" Look to the right and you will find the recipe! I hope some of you will do the same thing. I think it is a great way to swap recipes.

Thanks for all the Christmas cards! We loved reading the cards and looking at the pics!

We knocked out the top cabinets above the bar, opens it up a ton! We still have work to do, but it is getting there!

The boys got into the pantry and ate "hot cheetos!" Those things are hot and they loved them!

This is a pic of James, Isn't he handsome?! I just thought what a lucky girl someday! Those eyes! Aughh...

Happy New Year!

We had a great holiday with friends and family. We attended Ellie's various x-mas programs and I am not sure if this clip will work or not so let me know! She had a dance performance! We took a short clip from our camera so we will see. So cute! Top pick: Ellie is in the black dress in the middle looking so serious! She took her program at school very seriously. She knew every song and did great! 2nd pic: Ellie is on the far left front row if you are looking at the pic. 3rd pic: this was a homemade gingerbread house at spanish bay in pebble beach 4th pic: The Dean Family cousins, I think there are 14...hard to keep track!
