Happy Birthday




Happy Birthday to my beautiful daughter, Aubrey! She has been through ALOT lately and except for a "few" moments, has remained so strong. I am so proud of her and love her so much. She is not only a wonderful daughter but a great mother too. It is hard for me to believe that it has been 32 years( oops, I just told her age :-) since her birth. Where have all the years gone??? ( I am crying now)


Happy Birthday Baby!!

My twin




They say she looks just like me! What do you think?

Sisters







They may fuss and fight but when its all said and done.......they pretty much "adore" each other!

Mommy and Gracie


Gracie looks so much like her Mommy!

Best Buddies




Morgan, Papa, and I went to Hudsons Barbeque for lunch yesterday. I was eating and happened to look up and saw them holding hands, it was so cute. I wish I had a "grandpa" like that when I was little.

Gracie and Maddie 13 weeks











I am a little late with the 13 week post with good reason. The babies have been in and out of the hospital the last 2 weeks and things have been really hectic. They both had a upper respitory virus that got pretty serious,especially with Maddie who had to be rushed to the hospital by ambulance last week with pneumonia. Thank God they are both okay now! I know He really answers prayers.

gracie and Maddie week 12

The babies are now 12 weeks old! I have no pictures this week due to an amazingly "hectic" week. They have been to the DR with upper respitory issues a few times this week. Gracie especially has a very bad cough. I spent last night with Aubrey and Ashley doing the night shift so Aubrey could have some uniterrupted sleep. Good thing I did because today the DR put both of them into the hospital at Palmetto Childrens Hospital. Not sure what it is, he said they have had some reported cases of whooping cough and it could be that. They seem to be doing ok, Gracies cough is just really bad.Not sure how long they will be there. What a week........

Mothers Day
















I went to Aubreys ward for "Mothers Day" so I got to be there for the babies first Sunday. They were so good! I got to see Adam too. It was a good day. Later on the day, I either saw or heard from all the others. I love being a mother!

Happy Mothers Day


I want to say "Happy Mothers Day" to my Mom! I miss her so much. This is my first "Mothers Day" without her. I am really proud of her and I know she is where she should be but I guess I am being selfish by wanting her here. She probably didn't think I would miss her but I do!!!! I love you Mom!

Gracie and Maddie week 11







I took pictures yesterday of the babies. They are growing so fast. I am so blessed to be able to spend so much time with them. I know its a help to Aubrey, but I benefit the most!

Well, I hate to disappoint you all but I went to the Dr with Aubrey this morning and forgot to take my camera. Gracie weighs 8lbs 14oz and Maddie weighs 5lbs 14 oz!!! Dr Delaney said they are doing AMAZING and that Aubrey is doing a great job. I am so proud of her. I promise some new pictures soon.

Big Helpers







I am telling you, Gabbie and Morgan are really big helpers! Aubrey is so blessed that she has 2 older girls to help. They are so good with their sisters! I know it is an adjustment but they both have such a great attitude( that is MOST of the time :-))
