~We are still alive:)~

The newest addition!!! A baby colt was born while we were in Florida!!!! We are thinking about calling him Orlando :)

Yesterday was Brett's birthday! Happy Birthday to the best DAD & HUSBAND! We love you!!

Last week we went to Disney World! We had such a great time. We left the babies with my mom and took Brooke and Tucker with us! 2 kids are so easy after you are used to 4 :)

Tucker getting a kiss from his favorite princess!!!! It was soooooo funny!

Well even after all this I am still behind-the babies are getting bigger daily!!! Hopefully sooner than later I will get more pictures on here:)

What's been going on?!?!?!?!?

Well 3 months later here we are!! This post has only taken me three days to complete, I just work on it when I have a few seconds!! The babies are growing like crazy and I am just trying to enjoy it all. They just grow up way to fast:( My new sister-in-law Kassie took some family pictures for us on sunday! It was getting alittle dark, and we couldn't get all 4 children to look in the same direction but other than that I think they turned out pretty good :) Thanks Kass!!

-JUST CHILLIN'-

My baby and the best little helper ever started kindergarten this year:( It was so sad. I can't believe the time has really gone by that quick!

Brooke and her friend Tayla. . . FUN!!

Playin' at Grandma Cindy's

I love the look on Danny's face in this picture:)

Another year of mud volleyball!!! With all the crazy things that have happened this year I don't think we will be doing one here. . . maybe next year!!!! It was so fun to watch (Shawna took my place because I was still not recovered enough to play) The weather was a little cold, but I still did a whole lot of laughing:)

This used to be our bed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

~THE BABY BLESSING~

We had such a great day! Thanks to all the friends and family who came to share that with us:)

I wanted a family picture after church but Brett changed his clothes, the cat pooped on Tucker (and we haven't seen it since????), and I'm just not sure were Brooke was!!! The story of my life!

Our annual trip into I.F. to watch to fireworks. I love that!

Here are a few pic's that I just though were cute!

Danny in the bath tub

These are for my brother on his mission! He really wanted to see how "FAT" I really was!!! I don't think the picture even really shows how big I was. . . YIKES!!

I am really glad that is over with :)

~FINALLY~

Well I am finally posting the arival of the newest family members!!! I am a little late in doing so but I think that is going to be the story of my life for the next little while:) They were born June 5th just before noon. Daisy was the first and she weighed 6lbs 7oz & was 19 in long. 6 min later Dan Colter was born weighing 7lbs 8oz & 20 1/2 in long!!! Not to bad for being 4 weeks early:) The babies were perfectly fine. . . me on the other hand had just a few problems! My pelvic bone was broken during delivery which has made for a very long recovery:( I was so looking forward to feeling good and having my body back but I can tell its just going to take longer than I had planned! Oh well I am just so grateful to have 2 beautiful babies that are here and very healthy!

~Dan Colter & Daisy~

The BIG brother and sister meeting the new LITTLE brother and sister! Brooke loves them and is quite the little mother! Tucker on the other hand is not quite sure what to think about it all:)

Grandpa Dan for who little Dan is named for!

Tucker & Daisy

The new family picture!!!! Don't worry I won't hang it on my wall!!!!! I looked green for a long time:) And was retaining a lot of water! (That should explain the fatness:) because as you all should know I really am quite skinny)!!!!

Grandpa Mark with the 2 new grandkids!

Grandma Cindy who is only smiling because we haven't moved in with her YET!!!!hahaha

Here is our little glow worm! Daisy had jaundice and had to use the billi blanket for a few days!

In the car going to get the jaundice checked!

We left the hospital on monday and came to stay with my mom because I can hardly walk and I get light headed and almost pass-out:( After a few crazy nights my mom and dad ordered these swings for the babies! They have been such a lifesaver! And they are so cute:) Thanks Mom & Dad we will use these a lot!

Rachel was changing Daisy yesterday and took this picture!! I think it is so cute:)

They will be 2 weeks old tomorrow I can't believe how fast the time goes bye. We are still at my mom's house letting her take care of us:) I am slowly getting better and hopfully it won't be to much longer and I will be good as new!! And maybe someday I will post some more pictures:) Thanks to everyone who has helped us get through this pregnancy it hasn't been easy but it was totally worth it all!

We had a really busy week last week!!! Brett's Grandma Jensen passed-away so monday we had her funeral. She was such a great woman and will be missed but I guess when your almost 97 I think you've but your time in! After that we moved on to the wedding plans! My little sister Rachel married Jake Jolly on saturday, so wednesday family started comming into town:) It was so fun to get to see everyone. Saturday was such a beautiful day and we are so excited to have Jake in the family:)

These are my sweet little children waking up to easter 2 days late!!!! OOPS!!! After all the wedding stuff I was just to tired so monday Brett bought them easter baskets and tuesday morning was Easter at our house!!!



Sunday afternoon was so nice. It was my mother-in-law's birthday so we spent the evening flying kites, taking pictures with the tractor & drill, and just having a great time!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY RUTH!!

Last saturday my parents wanted to take to kids sledding!!!! They had so much fun and it even turned out to be a nice day, I came home with a little bit of a sunburn:) Since I'm not much good for sledding I just sat a watched while Mom and Dad played with the kids. They are so lucky to have such great grandparents that live close by so we can go play lots and lots!!

Yes we went on another little trip with the kids!!!!! It's kind of turning into a Reynolds tradition! Some years the whole family goes and others its just however can make it! This year it was Dan, Ruth, Shawna, and our family. It was so nice to go see the sunshine and watch the kids have the time of their lives!!!

Brett was a trooper and took the kids on all the WiLd RiDeS!!

We had such a great time. The kids are already planing next years trip. . . hopefully the twins are up for that:)

-From Halloween to New Year's-

Happy 2009!!! I would say that one of my New Year resolutions would be to be a better blogger but than I think I would be lying:) Maybe someday!!!! We just had a little party for New Year's at my house. We played games, laughed, and ate until we couldn't walk!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!! I hope everyone had a great Christmas because we sure did!! It's so fun when kids get a little older and they can get so into the spirit of things! Brooke didn't want to go to bed, she just thought she would wait for santa to come!!! It was so cute:)

Tucker got Papa Mark a "Big Truck" just like the real ones!

Now isn't that a cute picture!!!

The make-up that she wanted soooooooo bad! Nothing else could really compete!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!!! THE BIG 26!!!!!

I DON'T WANT TO GO HOME!!!! This is my family in the Mexico airport getting ready to leave after the funnest week ever!!! It was so much fun getting so see Coba, Eckbalaum, Chitinitza, swimming with the dolphins, going to wet & wild, snorkeling in the ocean, and going on the zip line. Oh and just staying at an amazing resort:) I would recomend staying at Moon Palace it was great!

Making chocolates is a tradition that we have done every since I can remember! Every year my Mom say's this is going to be the last year because there is so much work that goes into making them! But we do have a good time being together!!

All the finished product!!! I wish I had some to snack on right now:)

My cousin got married in the Monticello Temple on the way there we stopped at Wilson's Arch and climbed to the top!!! Something that we did everytime we went past it as a child. It was fun to do and it brings back such fun childhood memories:)

Grandpa & Brooke

And FINALLY. . . .The Halloween pic's I promised!! Brooke is Cinderella and Tucker is The Prince! They were so cute together!!

-HUGE NEWS-

Well this is for-real!!!! And yes you are seeing two babies:) We weren't going to tell quite so soon but when your having TWINS. . . Brett can't keep a secret! I am 10 weeks today and my due date is July 2, 2009 but I don't think I will make it quite that far! I think I have done pretty well all things considering. I have had to run to the toilet a few times and I've lost about 15 pounds so far but other than that everything is going well!!

Dan and Ruth are going to be quite the grandparents 5 grandkids in less than a year:) (My sister-in-law just had triplets and now twins!!!! I know what you are all thinking and yes it is totally crazy and was not planned at all but we are really happy:)

-After I recover from the shock of all this maybe I do another huge post with everything else that has been going on!

P.S. Annie I hope your happy now!!!
