Kids sAY the fUNniest stuff.....

While teaching and being pregnant I get some hilarious comments!  I decided to share some of them so others can enjoy the simple minds of children.

*"You look pregnant" I then informed the kid that I was pregnant and it all made better sense to him.

*kid "What happened to your belly???" me "I have babies in it" kid "Oh..."

*One of my students from last year went up to his teacher and said very worriedly "mrs. Tidwell is getting fat."

*I told the students that I had to leave a little early that day because I had a dr.apt. so another teacher would be coming in to watch them, a student shouted out "are your babies coming out today?" mind you this is when I was barely showing...

*"So a a a when are ya gonna get those babies out?"

* we do stretches everyday in class and one day a kid had said something was to hard for him and one of my favorite little girls said, "If Mrs. Tidwell can do it with her babies, then you can!!! huh Mrs. Tidwell"

*And one of my favorites, It was snowing that day and a kid shouts out, "mrs. Tidwell your belly looks like a snowball." I just laughed, but then another kid said in a very confused tone "Maybe a BIG snowball!!!"  

Halloween

This past weekend we had a lot going on.

 I really like Halloween, but with 

school, I almost like it better when its over!  

The kids are so crazy!  This year us 1st grade teachers did the theme of insects...

On halloween we had a

 fun party with Dane's family.  

So here's me and my cute sister in-laws.

And on Sunday we had Cy and Whit's daughter Remi's baby blessing,  She is so precious!

And of course I can't not give a shout out to R-town and taking state on Saturday.  Alyse is helping coach so we went to the games, and it was so intense I was DYING.  The babies were going crazy as well!

Girls TRIP

So, we decided before we doubled all of our families we better take a girls trip!  We all headed to St. George on Friday night and pretty much just did everything that girls like to do that their husbands won't do with us.....

Nicole and I just had to get a picture together being that we are due only 3 days apart. (don't worry that I'm like 5 times the size of her though) It's beautiful what 2 babies can do to ya.

THEY ARE................

GIRLS!!!!

Looks like I've got two little ladies in my tummy!  And everything is going really good!!!  Dane and I are both really excited, and can't believe its more girls! This will make 8 out of the 9 grandchildren on his side girls!!!

Life CHanGing

So here goes a crazy story (at least I think) for all of you. So while in North Carolina I was starting to feel a lot different and getting sicker so after 4 pregnancy tests it was confirmed that YES I was pregnant whether I liked it or not. I am sorry to say that I wasn't excited at all :(... It certainly was not planned and seemed to come at such an inopportune time. I had to come back and teach while Dane is still in school full time! Plus I was on the couch for the rest of the summer not feeling well at all. Dane and I were just thankful for the Gospel at this time and new it must be in our Plan. So when I got home I made a doctor appt. and went to get checked out. Since I had no idea when I had gotten pregnant (yes we were preventing it) they told me I was 14 weeks which I new there was no way possible because I was still in UT and Dane was in NC. But with all the measurements they didn't think they were to far off, so they got me an ultrasound.
I went to the ultrasound by myself because Dane was still on his way back from NC. So she puts the ultrasound thingy on me and she says, "Oh... you're having twins" i immediately shoot back "No i'm not...!!??" and she says, "Oh honey, ... I wouldn't joke about something like that!" Yes you can imagine the shock at the moment!!!! My instant reaction was tears... but if you can imagine 100 emotions running through your body at one time that is what I was experiencing. Truthfully the rest of the ultrasound was quite a blur. But I did call Dane right after and was FREAKING out when I was telling him.... Quite the moment.
So here we are up to date. And in all honesty we are so excited!!!! I hate to say this, but I think it needed to be twins to get me so happy about it all. Buying a house was really no longer an option so after living with Hillary for a few weeks, we finally found a basement apt. that we really like and is within walking distance from Dane's moms.
I had an ultrasound today and am 14 weeks. The doctor said I am having IDENTICAL TWINS which is really exciting, but also can be scary. I guess my baby's are in the same placenta but have different sacks. With this brings a scare of a disease called TTTS which means they are sharing the same blood and one baby takes more and can cause the other baby to die. So I went to a specialist today and as of right now they are not sharing blood. BUT it can happen anytime throughout the pregnancy and can be scary. So if having twins isn't already considered high risk, I have to have a ultrasound every 2 WEEKS to make sure things are running ok. So that's our story!!! Crazy I know, but also very fun........... It is so true when you think of how you never know what will come next because 1 year ago I never would of thought i would be pregnant let alone with twins!!!!
PS
Dane also had our 1 year anniversary... Quite the gift :)

Home Again

So I am finally back in Utah!! It has been so, nice and one of the best things is that I feel like I can finally breathe! I know that sounds weird, but before I was leaving NC there were so many rainstorms and it was so muggy I felt that I never got fresh air! But Utah and the mountains cured that!!!
Right when I got home I was so lucky to get to be with all my family. We celebrated my Grandpas 80th birthday and spent a weekend in Fish Lake. I loved every moment of it (except that my husband wasn't there)
We rode bikes, played games, fished, caught up with the family, and of course ate a lot of food. It was so nice.

4th of July FUN

I was sad I wasn't in R-Town for the 4th, but we still managed to have our fun out here.

A few of the wives went to a minor league baseball game out here.  The team was called the "Swamp Dogs" as we were sitting there, I was like, wow this is some serious white trash, but then I was reminded of Richfield and the derby ....

I couldn't look at not having fireworks on the 4th so  Dane and I found a place out here that had a big ol' celebration. 

 

Then we headed back home and Dane had some fireworks of his own (he had purchased them on his way out to NC without me of course) But i did love watching him be a little kid throwing flowers into the pond trying to blow up the frogs....
