Congrats to my sis in law Emily who recently found out she is having another baby!! I stole this picture from her blog. This makes me an aunt for the 11th time and I love every minute of it! Emily is due in June. Kids are amazing and soo much fun to be with :) I cant wait for more nieces and nephews....or better yet my own :)

My 30th

Well I turned the big 3-0 last week. Wow how time flies. It was a busy week last week. For my bday Zac took me to my favorite Texas Roadhouse and then we went shopping. I never have time to go shopping with my schedule so it was nice to be able to look around and buy some things. I ended up falling asleep on the couch at 9:30 that night!! Good times! We went to the Fair with the Hoover Family last Friday and that was fun. Its a Hoover tradition to go to the Fair every year. Then over the weekend they had a bday party for me at the Hoovers and then one for me at my family's. The pictures that were taken of my bday were SICK!! I'm exhausted most of the time but the pictures that were taken showed the exhaustion :( It was kinda sad to see me look so outrageously tired. So you will only get one picture.

OREGON

I went to Oregon this month to visit my sister and her kiddos. It was so much fun to hang out with her and the kids. My sis moved to Oregon in August and I was missing them all like crazy. I was there for 2 days. I wish I could have stayed longer btu I wasnt able to due to school and my internship. Lauren and Julien remembered me but Maude was having a little trouble. She would ask Rachel "Hey mom where is that Lady?" Now I know I need to visit more often. We went to a pumpkin patch and to the dalia farm. Lots of fun and the weahter was gorgeous. I wouldnt mind living there!
Here we are at the pumpkin patch. You got to ride a train to the pumpkins and then there was a hay maze in the back which the kids enjoyed climbing. It was really dark and kinda scary inside so we didnt go there for too long.

The kids had fun on the train ride!

TWINS :) :)

Sorry it has been so long since I last posted but things have been a bit so busy with work, school and life. My sis in law had her twins on Sunday. This is Bailey. She weighed 5lbs 1oz and 17 inches.

This is Ellie. She weighed 4lbs 110z and 17 1/2 in long. They are both so cute. They are not identical. Bailey looks like Kami's side of the family and Ellie looks like our side of the family. Both were in the NICU for 5 days and just got released yesterday. I wasnt able to hold either of them in the hospital :( But Zac and I made a few trips there in my spare time to see them in the NICU. They have sooo much hair. I can't wait to spend more time with them :)

Here's the pround Mom, Dad and big sister :)
