is it possible to capture a picture with 5 children????





It was a cold, and rainey day out ( as cold as it gets for Bullhead City) and we had nothing to do imagine that, so we decided to take a simple picture of our  beautiful children - not so easy!  Look closely at the pictures and you can see how Kylor helped us (or so he says) to keep Kendall in place, next time we suggested using another body part besides her neck!

1st day of School!


Good Afternoon!
We hope everyone is having a wondeful day! We survived our 1st day of school, it was very exciting for the big boys, and very sad for the mommy, but Kendall and the babies made sure to keep me very busy. Kaden loves the 1st grade, as does Kylor, but Kylor said he didn't want to go back for a while since he learned to read at school. Needless to say he is back in school today!
This is our 1st week of being home alone, without the wonderful help from the grandmas. We sure are missing them around here, but are so thankful for the time that they spent with us. We also know that the grandpas probably wouldn't have survived mush longer. A man can only go so long without food, television, keys, and their better half :) We are so blessed to have such a wonderful and supportive family. The babies continue to get bigger and bigger, Kyson is 7lb 6oz 19 3/4 inches, Kelson is at 6 lb 14 oz, 19 1/2 inches. Kelson's refulx seems to being doing very well, we haven't had any chocking or asperating spells, which is a praise. Kelson has a head ultrasound tomorrow, so we would ask for your prayers that the test goes well, with no abnormal findings. As always we will keep you posted!
A quick memory lapse, the filter was removed last week, and the procedure went well, thanks for all the prayers. I am now hoping to get my blood stabilized so that I can quit going to the lab 3 times a week. In His time, so I continue to pray for patience, and that my veins hold up Although I have developed quite the friendships with all the lab techs, who would have thought, you could like those who take your blood over and over !
Have a great day~
Love to all

Krazy

Well, some of you might want to know exactly what all went down the week of the birth of the boys.The Story(true story) all began with like this...

It was June 8th, 2008 when I was getting ready to take the youth group on our mission trip to Prescott, AZ which is about 4 hours away from Bullhead City, AZ. As I was getting the vans ready, I noticed that both vans plates were stolen. Monday June 9th, the day that we are to leave for Prescott, I had to go to MVD to get new plates. We were all ready to hit the road, until one of my staff called me on the radio and said that the van was dead. With that we jumped the van and went straight to Wal-mart and were there with 15 teenagers for 2 hours. We finally left for Prescott and arrived at 6pm.

Tuesday June 10th... one of my students had developed a case of pink eye, and as you all know, I can't stand pink eye. So I take him to Urgent Care and we were there for 2 hours and the finall diagnosis was pink eye, but it was not contagious. So we head back to the camp, and when I get there, the students run to me and say that one of the girls sprained her ankle. So I had one of my staff take here into town. I thought the day was done, until I find out that my student leader is throwing up, with a migrane headache. So then I had back into town to buy water and gatorade so that everyone does well the next morning.Now during this time, Codi's mom is with Codi and a lady from church, called me up and said that she is coming to help out Codi as well.

Wednesday June 11th... We wake up, do our quite time and gather around for our group time. And it was during that time when I told all the students that today is going to be a great day and nothing will stop us from working. At least thats what I thought.it was 9:15 am and we just began working, and then one of the ladies of the camp came to me and said that Codi was in the hospital. I instantly called Codi to ask what happend and if she was alright. She said that she was opening the blinds and all the sudden she felt like she was going to the bathroom, but it wouldn't stop, she had Kaden get grandma, but he said that she was in the shower. Needles to say that they went to the hospital. Codi didn't know what exactly was going on, because her water never broke, and she was at 33weeks along.I instantly started driving the church van back to bullhead, and called our associate pastor everything what was going on, and he was gracious enough to allow me to use his car, and he continued to finish out the mission trip. We met in just outside of Kingman and switched. Once we switched, Codi's mom called and said that they were flying her to Las Vegas, NV do to the fact that she was dialated to 5cm and Bullhead Hospital could not treat the babies, because they were not equipped. Codi said that the Helicopter flight was horrible. She had to lay on her side in a ball to fit in the helicopter, plus her nose was touching the glass and the pilot said that it was the worst flight that she had to fly. And to make things worse there was no a/c.Now I was still driving to Las Vegas, and had to go through the hoover dam, After the dam, I had no clue where I was going, and it didn't help for the doctor to call and ask were I was at, becuase they didn't want her to dialate more than were Codi was at. They wanted to do a c-section. I told him that I was coming out of the hoover dam, and that is were I called our associate pastor to ask how I get to the Las Vegas. While I was on the phone I noticed I was doing 65 in a 45, and saw a highway patrol whip around and you guessed it pulled me over. I immedialy told him that I know I was speading and my wife just got flown to Las Vegas from Bullhead to deliver our babies and I have been driving from Prescott, AZ. He still asked for license and registration, and I said "about that this isn't my car...it my associate pastors car" He than allowed me to go, because he was laughing really hard, the cop said, "I knew somthing was up since I didn't see any hands on the wheel." Needless to say that he let me go without a ticket and told me to not go 10 mph over the speed limit. I finally made it to the hopsital and Codi calls and says for me to get a camera... I did and ran right where she was at. I arrived at 2:40 pm and the boys were born at 2:50. A very fast delivery.So I thought you all might like to know how this day began. The twins were both 15in. long and Kyson was at 4.3 lbs and Kelson 3.4lbs.
