Oh baby!

Well we are at 20 weeks now!! I can't believe how fast the time seems to be going! Twins are considered full term at 37 or 38 weeks so that means at the max I only have 18 weeks left!!! YIKES! My nesting instincts have fully overtaken my body. With the help of my fabulous mom and sis I found curtains, a rug, a lamp, and a great pillow (for the rocking chair) for the babies room. It is really starting to look adorable. My grandma is going to paint a canvas for us that is going to look so amazing in the nursery! Our ultrasound looked good but both the babies heads are down and OH MY GOODNESS the pressure! We also had our marvelous multiples class on Sunday and it revealed just how in over our heads we really are!! We couldn't be happier :)
I was so excited about this next project! Jeremy tore out a section of our grass and rototilled it all up and we planted a vegetable garden!!! It's got tomatoes, green beans, carrots, cucumbers, zucchinis, and a bunch of different peppers and jalapenos! We are also growing some herbs in planter boxes that Jeremy made to hang from our deck. Fresh salsa here we come!

Happy Mother's Day

We celebrated mother's day with Jeremy's mom in the springs on Saturday. We had a great time seeing a movie and going to a yummy dinner!
Today we went to church and then had a picnic at the park.
I am at 18 weeks and growing right along.

Spring break

Jen and Chris were in town for wedding stuff this week. We got to meet her mom and sister who were in town for some planning. We had dinner at Lola's in the Highlands, it was delicious.
Jeremy and I escaped to the mountains for a few days. Jeremy got some skiing in and I did a lot of relaxing!

I am at 13 weeks in this picture!! The babies are looking great! But my tummy is measuring 16-17 weeks because there are two babies in there.

Celebrations!

Jeremy's fire department in Cripple Creek had their first annual awards banquet.
Dalton and Jeremy were in the academy together. Dalton and his wife Tessa are great friends and we love their girls too!!

A guy on Jeremy's shift Tyler and his family made the cake for the banquet. It was pretty fun!
Jeremy and his Chief after being given an award for his contributions to health and safety. He leads all of the physical fitness for the academies as well as monitoring the overall health of the department and working with each of the shifts.
The ice sculptures were about a week old at this point but still made main street look pretty cool.
Sarah competed in the State Prostart competition with her team from Standley Lake. The competition was at Johnson and Whales in Denver where Sarah is planning to go to college in the fall. Below was her team walking around the campus before their turn to cook. They were in the last group of the day.
Their station is set and they are waiting to prep. They were mentored by Chef Troy Gaurd who owns Tag restaurant on Larimer Square.
Let the games begin! They had one hour to complete an appetizer, entree, and dessert. The team worked flawlessly. Sarah was the team captain and did an awesome job encouraging each of her team members. She was an awesome leader.
It was so nerve wracking watching the team work. They were amazing and so focused!
Here are the final dishes.


They won second place in the culinary competition. Their management team won 3rd place for their restaurant design.
Both of their teams combined scores won them first place over all for the whole competition!! They took home the hospitality cup and $500 for their school. Each student also won scholarships!



Congrats Sarah!! We are so proud of you for all your hard work!!
