In March we celebrated Luke turning 4! The theme was construction and we had a blast with everyone that showed up. I hope you enjoy the photos! A bunch of the decorations were homemade while others were bought over time. I usually begin planning the parties about 2 months in advance. That gives me time to purchase items and save money rather then buying all at once taking a chunk out of our bank account.<br />
<br />
If you have any questions regarding any items you see please feel free to comment below and I'd be happy to help!<br />

I'm hoping that now that the twins are older I will have more time to focus again on this. So lets play catch up?<br /><br />The last blog post I made was in August 2014, since then a lot has happened. We celebrated Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, & Luke's 4th birthday, Madison will be 3 the end of this month, the twins will be turning one next month and have been hitting plenty of milestones.<br />

Today I had the hankering for a good doughnut and some ice coffee; so instead of going out and spending money I decided to make my own! The kids loved them so they must be good. haha!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ingredients</span></div>
1 Can of Buttermilk Biscuits (use any kind EXCEPT flaky)<br />
Oil<br />
Stick of Butter melted in a bowl<br />
Cinnamon & Sugar in a bowl (as much as you'd like)<br /><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Directions</span></div>
<br />
Add oil to a pan, about 1/2in deep and heat it up on medium heat.<br />
While that is heating up, cut holes into each biscuit. I used a water canteen top, but use anything you find.<br />
When the oil is ready add the donuts to the pan. Keep a close eye on them since they brown quickly.<br />
When the bottom side is brown, flip with tongs or a fork.<br />
When that side is brown, remove from oil & drain on a paper towel.<br />
<br />
<br />
When the donuts have cooled enough to touch dip one side of the donuts in the butter then in the sugar mix.<br />
Flip & do it again.<br />
Now go ahead and eat them up!<br />

My coffee is delayed and my peaceful morning is now filled with double the diaper changes, double the feedings, the hopes of getting to the coffee pot before it gets old, and waiting to use the bathroom until the girls are satisfied. But you know what, I get that bonding time with them before Luke & Maddie wake up and I love it. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix-snCQ6gOT6WFdcIt70IFZ8GdMnMpuVilEaKHlld71Z1Bg6bHfGIweIlaaM1mkDz-Xyzw8UXx0ntR9410NbuWdreMYv8FFlS3pIZsChxbYt0rivxooqOMXrFmTFZ5_LGWMRkDXod3K9ig/s640/blogger-image-1421180172.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix-snCQ6gOT6WFdcIt70IFZ8GdMnMpuVilEaKHlld71Z1Bg6bHfGIweIlaaM1mkDz-Xyzw8UXx0ntR9410NbuWdreMYv8FFlS3pIZsChxbYt0rivxooqOMXrFmTFZ5_LGWMRkDXod3K9ig/s640/blogger-image-1421180172.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I no longer look "fresh faced" when going out.

I would say sweedish meatballs but these aren't exactly that, so I will say white sauce. My favorite part about this meal is that the meatballs are made in the oven. No need to stand by the stove frying them up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">Meatballs</span></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2lbs Ground Beef</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 Eggs</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1/4 Cup Chopped Onions</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 Cup Bread Crumbs</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1/4 Cup Milk</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">White Sauce</span></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 Cup Beef Stock</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 Cup Milk or Heavy Cream</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 Tsp Soy Sauce</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 Tsp Worcestershire Sauce</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sprinkle of Garlic Powder</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3 Tbsp Flour</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Salt & Pepper</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While waiting for the oven to heat combine all ingredients in a large bowl & mix together. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Shape into balls & place on a cookie sheet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once heated, put meatballs into the oven for 15-20 mins.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>While waiting for the meatballs to cook you can start the sauce.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Whisk together the stock & milk in a sauce pan on Medium-High heat.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once boiling add the rest of the ingredients & continue to whisk until thick, 10 mins.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
By now the meatballs should be done. Remove from oven & add to sauce (after it thickens).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Remove from heat & serve over noodles!</div>

The twins haven't had any reaction since I started drinking the slim either, that's the one thing I was worried about. I have noticed clothing fitting better, shirts more then pants right now. I have decided to not weigh myself, I'd prefer to just keep track of inches. Can you believe that after one month I lost 4 1/2" on my waist?! I had to measure myself three times and message a Plexus Ambassador to see if it is ever possible. If you are interested in purchasing Plexus or any of their products please let me know and I can give you the information of an ambassador or you can just go right to the website, <a href="http://www.plexusworldwide.com/products" target="_blank">here</a>, and find your own. </span></span></span><br />

<u><b><span style="font-size: large;">Tools Needed</span></b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Paint</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Small Containers (as many needed for the different colors)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Water</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dawn Dish Soap</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Paper</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>Directions</u></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Add a squirt of different color paint to each container plus a little water (1/4c should be enough) and a pinch of dawn soap. Mix together.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Use the straws to blow bubbles until they reach the top of the containers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Place a piece of paper on top of the container to create a print.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
**I used too much water with ours. We blew bubbles so they overflowed the cups then we grabbed them with our hands and threw them onto the paper. Next time I will add 1/4c of water**</div>

The town fair came the last week of July. Peter & I went alone one night to have some adult time together. We grabbed some dinner & walked around for a little bit. Luke & Madison went another night with Peter's parents. They were able to ride the rides and grab dinner there as well. When they came back Madison was a princess (wand & crown too) and Luke was a warrior (his words haha) with a new toy gun. They both had a blast! I can't wait until we can take all 4 kids next year.</div>

Are you a soon to be first time mom and freaking out? Heck, are you a second..or third..or fourth time mom and freaking out? Well here are some tips to help you relax & put your mind at ease.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">If breast feeding. It will hurt. It will be stressful. <i>DON'T give up! </i>I wanted to quit multiple times with Madison but I stuck it out & we made it past a year! </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><i>White noise is your friend.</i> A sound machine, window fan, or the tv on static will help your baby sleep soundly. With two loud toddlers running around I have learned to use white noise more than ever to help the twins nap and sleep.</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">

</ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><i>Start a night time routine in the hospital.</i> We did this with the twins and they have been with out a doubt the best infant sleepers between all of our kiddos.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><i>Feed baby every two hours during the day</i>. It will help establish a routine & you'll be sure they are getting enough food.</li>

<li style="text-align: left;"><i>Don't panic.</i> If you have checked your baby for all of the above in the last bullet and he/she is still crying and you're finding yourself frustrated; put baby in the crib & walk away for a little. Pull yourself together, count to 10, deep breathes, & go get your child. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><i>Swaddle.</i> Either learn to use swaddle blankets or purchase velcro swaddlers (like we did). I swaddle the twins during naps & at night for bed. Helping them feel tight & confined relaxes babies. </li>

Riley & MacKenzie are gas filled babies. Whenever they stretch I guarantee you'll hear a fart come from their tiny bodies. Most of the time it doesn't bother them but some days it will. Seeing babies suffer with the discomfort of gas can be sad. Their tiny little bellies are still developing. Below are some natural ways to relieve the discomfort & help settle your gassy babe.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><b><span style="font-size: large;">Baby Massage</span></b></u></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Rub your babies belly clockwise with slight pressure. This technique also helps with constipation. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><b><span style="font-size: large;">Watch What You Eat </span>(if breast feeding)</b></u></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Certain foods will cause gas in babies such as broccoli, garlic, cabbage, & dairy products. Broccoli is what did it for my girls, so I no longer eat it. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">Homemade Gripe Water</span></u></b></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Find the recipe, <a href="http://mymerrymessylife.com/2013/07/homemade-gripe-water-for-colic-in-babies.html" target="_blank">here</a>. Works awesome! I used his method with Luke when he was an infant.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><b><span style="font-size: large;">Burp Mid-Feeding</span></b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-When you burp mid-feeding when baby naturally slows down eating it will make avoiding gas easier. Pulling baby off of the bottle or breast could make him/her angry causing them to swallow more air making him/her gassy.</div>

So delicious, these shells taste just like the store bought packets (minus the nasty additives)! Whenever I go to the food store I find myself turning away from the noodle and rice packets. They're so tempting. Always on sale, quick in a pinch, & tasty....well now I can have the same taste & ease with this recipe.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm excited to say that in the beginning of the month I started using <a href="http://www.plexusworldwide.com/" target="_blank">Plexus</a> to help me loose weight. They have many different products besides what I am using. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Slim (found under weight loss) is the product I am using. A pink powder that you add to a bottle of water and once a day drink 30mins before or after a meal. You can pair it with the accelerator but since I am breastfeeding it wasn't recommended because of the high amount of caffeine. Aside from the Plexus Slim I am also altering my food choices when I get hungry. Instead of a bowl filled with sugar loaded cereal or a bagel for breakfast, I now enjoy apple slices with some peanut butter. At dinner time I eat more red meat & veggies while cutting back on the carbs, although potatoes are my weakness. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am going to be logging my results once a month to see how many inches I loose.</div>

<br />
<br />
I have been inspired. By whom you ask? By <a href="http://theglamoroushousewife.com/about/" target="_blank">The Glamorous Housewife</a> I reply. Her 'About' page is what hit me. Her belief that "Sweat pants is not the answer", "Being well dressed is a form of politeness", & "You should laugh and love with abundance" is what made me think. Those 3 things out of her list of several lit the light bulb in my head and made me think, things are going to change!<br />
<br />
When I wake up I put on my boy shorts or sweat pants with a t-shirt and for the most part chill with the kiddos. I admit it, I find my butt on the sofa more then it should be. Ever since I hit the third trimester of pregnancy with Riley & MacKenzie I slacked off. Changes, they're gonna happen.<br />
<br />
I find myself making excuses or getting more angry with people more then I should be. I am going to wake up & actually get dressed (jeans, shirt, make-up, everything). I am going to make a check list of things to be done for the day and get them done before I sit my butt down for some tv. I am going to spend more time focused on my children instead of my phone, computer, or the tv.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Happy Mommy/Wife = Happy Kids/Husband. </u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It's not fair that when Peter comes home from a hard day of work outside in the 90 degree weather I complain to him about my day. "So & So is making me so mad!" or "The children are driving me nuts!" I might as well throw in "but I've been inside with full access to food, water, air conditioning, and more while you have been outside working for 8hrs with a 30min lunch break, limited water, and the hot sun beating down on you." </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am going to make myself happier therefore making those around me happier.</div>

The second month has been a lot more demanding. During the first month all they did was eat, sleep, and poop. Now Riley & MacKenzie are more aware of their surroundings and have longer wake times. We had to bring out the swing which seems to work better then the boppy. The girls will sit in the swing wide awake just taking in the day. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Peter and I are able to tell who is who by their looks. Riley (right) has a longer and skinnier head...overall she is smaller then MacKenzie (left). </div>

We have a great routine going and the girls have taken well to it..thank goodness! At 8pm I prep and begin giving the girls their bath (one at a time). I'll rub them down with some lavender lotion, put on their diaper, and onesie and then swaddle them tight. Next is feeding time, lately I have mastered the art of tandem feeding. For some reason when I tandem feed the girls seem to eat longer and get more milk. They usually pass out around 9pm or quarter after and then we take them up to our room to lay them down. That gives Peter and I some time to relax together. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Speaking of tandem feeding, I can cross that off my bucket list. (: It really does make life easier. </div>

I finally ventured out to the grocery store alone...with all four kids. Luke and Madison held hands the entire time so they had a buddy. There were a few attempts to throw items in the cart like fruit snacks, cereal, and frozen pops but I caught them. haha! The more time I spend as a mother to four kids the easier it becomes. </div>

When they cry we can tell who is who. MacKenzie always starts high pitched and Riley has a tremble during her cry. They both LOVE to cuddle on my chest..I love it too. They each wake up once a night but will sometimes stay awake longer then they should (hour or two). They eat every two hours & on occasion more if they hit a growth spurt.<br />
<br />
Oh yeah, did I mention that MacKenzie has her bottom <i><u>two teeth </u></i>coming already! The tops already poked through, no wonder why she has been drooling!<br />

Luke & Madison are still great helpers. They fetch diapers, wipes, & pacifiers when asked. They love to hold the girls & give them kisses too. Maddie helps me give the twins their bath while Luke tries to help put them to sleep. He accomplished that once by singing a song from Cinderella to MacKenzie. </div>

Thursday I took Riley & MacKenzie to their two month appointment. Thankfully my mom came along to help & it made the time there bearable! Luke & Maddie hung out with Pop & some family that came to visit. When we came back the kiddos played in the rain, mud, & pool. We had self-made pizza's for dinner & the kids loved them.</div>

Yesterday we all went to my brother-in-laws house to celebrate the fourth. We had a yummy food, games, & good times with friends and family. I got the kiddos dressed up in their red, white, & blue and I wore what I could. The weather was chilly, windy, & cloudy. I left at 7:30 to take the twins home so we could stick with their routine. Peter stayed at the party to hang out with friends which in return gave me time to relax by myself a bit.<br />

Dr. Bista said both girls are perfect! Riley is my little munchkin compared to MacKenzie, love them! She prescribed stuff for the girls to help with their spitting up, after every feeding they both spew like yellow stone all over. They aren't fussy about it, it's not forced, & they have more then enough dirty diapers so I am going to start logging the food I eat to see if anything is making this happen before giving them any meds. I already cut out broccoli & beans so they don't get gas, I also cut down on spicy foods too.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16635683971622937240noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7694864593221483124.post-24935681635229014602014-06-16T09:51:00.002-04:002014-06-16T09:51:10.409-04:00Father's Day!<div style="text-align: center;">

We had a fun Father's Day here and I hope you did too! The kids made shirts for their dad and grandpa's, thank you to my mother for finding the idea of Pinterest! Peter loved his and even said he will wear it haha! We went to church in the morning and then went to my brother-in-laws house to celebrate Father's Day. We had a lunch cook out with sausage and chicken on the grill, baked beans, and more!<br />

Riley and MacKenzie are going to be a <u>month old</u> next week already. Where in world does the time go? Seriously. I feel like it's been just a week since they've been born. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They are still in newborn clothing but are gaining great weight. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can see it in their faces already.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They are eating constantly and I think are going through a growth spurt right now. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Did I mention that they are waking once a night to eat?! Sometimes they'll wake and as soon as I lay them in bed with me to eat they pass out before I can even try.<br />
They're staying awake for longer periods of time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have them on a good schedule that they are starting to get use to thankfully! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The following are some photos of the girls recently:</div>
