Just a little about us...Matt and I have been married for 7 years on Dec. 27th of this year. Can you believe it?! It has gone so fast. We have beautiful 4 year old daughter named, Bailey Kaye. She certainly is a handful, but we love it. We also have twin boys named Lincoln and Ian. They are so sweet. Anyway, we live in Lakewood, CO next to Matt's family.Matt & April Hermanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11184816810094960088noreply@blogger.comBlogger83125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-429321801185482536.post-64435617776884843102011-06-15T22:03:00.000-07:002011-06-15T22:06:26.095-07:00More Memorial Day pics<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk_D_vODWK0OfNVk27M6Np8gOnMF3jlVsyTC0RCN5MUfzCz5d2BmnVHskZcgOj9r7NP6-iMheUpkSR8HPjWRUWUqxQHpZMha6E4V7GLCbEXuoWM6r6USDY934QknrocsdvVA8j2J8rGLL6/s1600/PICT0326.JPG"><img style="display:block;

It is only about an hour and a half away from us. First we went to the Castle Rock outlets and did some shopping, I love them! It was so fun! Then we went to an awesome place called Garden of the Gods, which is a park of huge Red Rocks, and after we climbed up in them I heard a rattle, so we ran...snake! That night we went to a Sky Sox game(the Rockies Farm Team.) The kids did ok, mostly we stayed in the kids area and let them play while we caught glimpses of the game. The cool thing was that we got 3 foul balls, which was awesome!after the game they had fireworks, the kids loved it, totally worth staying the whole time for:) We stayed in a hotel which was pretty eventful with 3 kids and no pack and play. Lincoln wasn't happy, but he finally settled down and everyone slept well. In the morning we tried to eat the continental breakfast, but all the kids were whining and going crazy so we just left and went to a place called The North Pole. It was totally fun amusement park that is Christmas themed. The kids had so much fun riding rides and playing games. Bailey got her face painted and we got a special Christmas ornament made with all our names on it. We were there for 4 hours before calling it a day and we still didn't finish the whole park. We will be going back:)<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH0xUY8uqfCL9l0DcxPFgppbhX-tsfglI0loKu59avbPIimhcJxSPqiswvy00nnyMQurMOTXDTYXllCinGCkNBbEKz1FrczLi3zSC7_4nq0R53ccDV5GI3bM36ArumwsucD0wviYW8EXFc/s1600/PICT0293.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH0xUY8uqfCL9l0DcxPFgppbhX-tsfglI0loKu59avbPIimhcJxSPqiswvy00nnyMQurMOTXDTYXllCinGCkNBbEKz1FrczLi3zSC7_4nq0R53ccDV5GI3bM36ArumwsucD0wviYW8EXFc/s320/PICT0293.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5618676491376253042" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCof66fEN3-RRm-OBHQPH5vuSTK-SbX6FVU9gUNnBrF7s2LNhftwfzrJbMN2luifaUuRkB7wprNcVPcAmZ3ok5ewXk_kptS1bNV9JSW67Zgrf2QCWKjAdtOSu6Mkq5-9CL_aLJrjH-l1-C/s1600/PICT0317.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCof66fEN3-RRm-OBHQPH5vuSTK-SbX6FVU9gUNnBrF7s2LNhftwfzrJbMN2luifaUuRkB7wprNcVPcAmZ3ok5ewXk_kptS1bNV9JSW67Zgrf2QCWKjAdtOSu6Mkq5-9CL_aLJrjH-l1-C/s320/PICT0317.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5618676485986903666" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBxHV8RFMbikg2VqNbRhmyNHfgduEG8qFIjSBGKG7dz64e26WmRAwn9ea_BToGVkfaX6ZXeKbSNuRHhJi4F6dLznT99MRKxR5x4LwTAmEPsQcyV7YLArBdOdHeSFZwwx-QqxerAArBG5sV/s1600/PICT0322.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBxHV8RFMbikg2VqNbRhmyNHfgduEG8qFIjSBGKG7dz64e26WmRAwn9ea_BToGVkfaX6ZXeKbSNuRHhJi4F6dLznT99MRKxR5x4LwTAmEPsQcyV7YLArBdOdHeSFZwwx-QqxerAArBG5sV/s320/PICT0322.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5618676473427555650" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsdrqkzYUVnewH5IbiG7JqqDwq_5u4iI8TTFtaeFCp98gw1GUtN0bYtMohLj1vUNXiIL4EBjh-ZiTlWSFDbEvGZ00FY0hTFV0uqo9TIdj16NuC8wyQKmB_JeduagPIHbmQtcynpj24P2tE/s1600/PICT0330.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsdrqkzYUVnewH5IbiG7JqqDwq_5u4iI8TTFtaeFCp98gw1GUtN0bYtMohLj1vUNXiIL4EBjh-ZiTlWSFDbEvGZ00FY0hTFV0uqo9TIdj16NuC8wyQKmB_JeduagPIHbmQtcynpj24P2tE/s320/PICT0330.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5618676463393517250" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEXOuECuEQ1xA6-tM-SyAknvGYHEqjQiJCmZSHNC27U2HqHuuOvnb6XMljcqp94H_ytJlDc_wKTkkHbyaLkrHZORyKDS_XGs615hPxOJHUlbjuIt5AQGhMDrAAM8qjegnk4mmMazUmcawe/s1600/PICT0335.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEXOuECuEQ1xA6-tM-SyAknvGYHEqjQiJCmZSHNC27U2HqHuuOvnb6XMljcqp94H_ytJlDc_wKTkkHbyaLkrHZORyKDS_XGs615hPxOJHUlbjuIt5AQGhMDrAAM8qjegnk4mmMazUmcawe/s320/PICT0335.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5618676454543305394" /></a>Matt & April Hermanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11184816810094960088noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-429321801185482536.post-35231891895728846332011-05-30T19:25:00.000-07:002011-05-31T09:02:54.505-07:0030th Birthday / Maryland Trip!So my birthday was on Mother's day this year as it has been many other times in the past, but it wasn't just any birthday, it was the big 30! I was kind of unhappy about this mile stone in life, until I decided to embrace it. So I decided that since it was my birthday and mother's day, that I would ask Matt for 1 big present. All I wanted was to go to Maryland to visit the family I still have there and my 2 Best Friends...and he said yes! So on May 11th, 3 days after my birthday I took a plane from Denver to Washington D.C.! My Bro-in=law, Jason and Nephew, Christian met me there and off we went, of course we got lost coming home, but the signs were totally jacked up. It was a fun little adventure:) I stayed with My sister Jeri, and her family first. We had lots of fun hanging out, watching American Idol and arguing over who would win. I met my newest little niece, Nia, who is so adorable and snuggled with Chase a lot:) We went to Gettysburg, and ate at the Dobin House, YUM! Then Doug and Golden came to a BBQ with their families and I got to see my new nephew, Soren. He was munching on my face a lot. I love him! It was Doug and Daniel's birthday's too. We all had a lot of fun. I miss my family so much.<br />The next day my bestie, Amanda, came to pick me up for girls night at her house. My other bestie, Shannon, came and another girl named Heather was there also. We ordered Chinese and went on a quick grocery shopping spree for food:) Amanda is the fastest shopper ever, she and Matt would get along:) We stayed up way too late talking about college and high school. I forgot to mention that they both have adorable new babies, Avery, and Reed~also Brady is still new to me considering, I have only met him once before this. I love them so much:) Anyway, The next day Amanda and I just hung out playing piano and touring Mt.Airy. We did a little shopping and then it was on to the the Inner Harbor, in Baltimore. We picked up Shannon on the way and went to the Hard Rock Cafe. It was pretty fun, watching the drunk guys in the corner singing. We were a little wild ourselves, taking crazy pictures, that I hope never go public:) We ended the night at Shannon's parents house just chatting and the next day I flew home, happy to see my little family I left behind for a much needed break:) So overall it was the best Birthday/Mother's Day present ever:) And by the way, Matt and the kids still spoiled me even before I left. Matt took me to The Melting Pot and got me flowers and cards and a cute picture frame with a bunch of pictures and the saying..."Home is where your story begins." Pretty sure he will never be able to top this year:) Thanks Honey, I love you!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7WqYHvR1nVYHlXdnG8KS4OjAzfUAQrA1B0VzKGwbhrky9QUpVuBhEddtxicToIIkJIpAGs6mK0T_3gS9hOBnbrMfT2TQW6jq98JDiV4GK1IZ-C6uSbKkuOkfYYrLnfsvm90qxw5toTKMZ/s1600/DSCN1952.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7WqYHvR1nVYHlXdnG8KS4OjAzfUAQrA1B0VzKGwbhrky9QUpVuBhEddtxicToIIkJIpAGs6mK0T_3gS9hOBnbrMfT2TQW6jq98JDiV4GK1IZ-C6uSbKkuOkfYYrLnfsvm90qxw5toTKMZ/s320/DSCN1952.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612910830985716082" /></a>Sweet Natalie<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdIIbQVGhCBSlKOwRkTs_T7F-kXwS238j3vySWHTbAshDgzHRJvhMC8ZfhAuuCzZ9rBWu81C0_iDviolrjZvX2B_vIhcfPauCvW0PqT7M1k2nCr2URLTccbXcCgFkk0YhYWKmzswcMjh88/s1600/DSCN1954.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdIIbQVGhCBSlKOwRkTs_T7F-kXwS238j3vySWHTbAshDgzHRJvhMC8ZfhAuuCzZ9rBWu81C0_iDviolrjZvX2B_vIhcfPauCvW0PqT7M1k2nCr2URLTccbXcCgFkk0YhYWKmzswcMjh88/s320/DSCN1954.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612910817939933922" /></a>Chase:)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaQT1ZYOklpt7stfsTc-QjUkCnbLDbLaSiNoex0a3Gr_ISFoDgdGZes_9S3jzZbfwuG8qrtRQ_IXZLwAfursZbw1-Ny_gZS5d7Mut7G_nuFhpAAoXmgM_IuUfD8rBXlpUuUmhDLn7LZt7_/s1600/DSCN1955.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaQT1ZYOklpt7stfsTc-QjUkCnbLDbLaSiNoex0a3Gr_ISFoDgdGZes_9S3jzZbfwuG8qrtRQ_IXZLwAfursZbw1-Ny_gZS5d7Mut7G_nuFhpAAoXmgM_IuUfD8rBXlpUuUmhDLn7LZt7_/s320/DSCN1955.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612910815510566050" /></a>Jeri, Nia and Christain at the Dobin House.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBKa6MV_Q-wYBG-feDVLrHvh4sctmKEvKDbgKAyCMqVZXxvC-CBr-S81bbK41lY4-dZ2vRIxBVjIlPX5vE3Juxw1PW1VzqtfAqOWhCLEshbJb0Wq3hWl6uSeWP6_HiuIj7wVPpP6badcTu/s1600/DSCN1962.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBKa6MV_Q-wYBG-feDVLrHvh4sctmKEvKDbgKAyCMqVZXxvC-CBr-S81bbK41lY4-dZ2vRIxBVjIlPX5vE3Juxw1PW1VzqtfAqOWhCLEshbJb0Wq3hWl6uSeWP6_HiuIj7wVPpP6badcTu/s320/DSCN1962.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612910809561964258" /></a>Reed and Avery<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit75gHhKnBEwSn1_Z84Tom5g8I54IQ_xWKjFMyiv_yeQCZpU3ng2ilZgnWq4_QRnbYz4S3vq8ibfCHHlrgg5Gq13i9TlbPd087hwkAFL28jy9BZJ1Db4K9LWZ5uVT8VsB2Or_TvjihEI0X/s1600/DSCN1968.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit75gHhKnBEwSn1_Z84Tom5g8I54IQ_xWKjFMyiv_yeQCZpU3ng2ilZgnWq4_QRnbYz4S3vq8ibfCHHlrgg5Gq13i9TlbPd087hwkAFL28jy9BZJ1Db4K9LWZ5uVT8VsB2Or_TvjihEI0X/s320/DSCN1968.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612909573403005810" /></a> me, Shannon, and Amanda( it is not a very clear pic)Matt & April Hermanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11184816810094960088noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-429321801185482536.post-68700321299999599732011-03-16T14:39:00.000-07:002011-03-16T15:11:08.483-07:00Feb 2011February was a pretty fun month. First of all the twins turned 18 mos! How crazy! <br />Ian: Walking almost running everywhere. He is the busiest little guy I know. He is going up and down the stairs. He says, momma, dada, bye(with the wave), Ball, and tries to imitate what you say. My favorite thing he does is when he hears music he spins in circles throwing his arms in the air until he gets dizzy and falls down. He loves to dance! He loves everything that Bailey has and wants her blanket all the time. He is so smart and we love him so much!<br />Lincoln: takes about 4 steps now and can stand by himself in the middle of the room for up to a minute. He is very talkative, he says, Momma, dada, grandma, ball, and loves to just make noise. He has a very tender heart and loves being loved on. I snuggle him as much as possible. <br />Both the boys love basketball,baseball and football. They like to throw balls all the time. All the kids favorite game id called Piggy and Beast. Matt is the Beast and he gets down on the floor and growls and chases the little piggies around. The kids go crazy and laughter abounds:)<br />Bailey is still in Preschool and doing great. She is getting so good at art and writing. She loves to make cards for people. She is getting really good at counting too. Our goal is to have her be able to count to 100 before she starts kindergarten, maybe even reading a little too. She will be going into kindergarten this year. She is so ready! I think she will love it.<br />Matt and I are doing great! Valentines Day was fun. Matt got me flowers and a card. We got the kids some cute stuff too:) We went to a Nuggets game too with another couple, so that was awesome:) I will try and do better at updating more often:) <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvpZMjy5-SWpafUI-pGDvwFrWlyQ4s93GS1XYUM2Nj9aScyiSbnJsxhAXGPrhCsIlMsrUE-G4Pv8SvFP04IgJVKSAfar4R_Y8EFSrX7cax5f4ecFuV0ueWnbS1zexIGcPJSr_TnIVQwCSs/s1600/DSCN1811.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvpZMjy5-SWpafUI-pGDvwFrWlyQ4s93GS1XYUM2Nj9aScyiSbnJsxhAXGPrhCsIlMsrUE-G4Pv8SvFP04IgJVKSAfar4R_Y8EFSrX7cax5f4ecFuV0ueWnbS1zexIGcPJSr_TnIVQwCSs/s320/DSCN1811.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584803095708486210" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNjWRWM1Om0701ikOTzAvvoqmxFVponD5rZEOmlDSD1XTw9dDhTpTh89giF34zPoab4mn6DFftQL7VlSyIofkRd-eNiszs7-jBa1R_5c-0AUN_JIN6gPaZ4XrdCJ4R_DjMZmpcQAFlu7Be/s1600/DSCN1869.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNjWRWM1Om0701ikOTzAvvoqmxFVponD5rZEOmlDSD1XTw9dDhTpTh89giF34zPoab4mn6DFftQL7VlSyIofkRd-eNiszs7-jBa1R_5c-0AUN_JIN6gPaZ4XrdCJ4R_DjMZmpcQAFlu7Be/s320/DSCN1869.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584803088172103234" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyDVi83ZVA48LpZ-xZQXKWwjAZqU-32U6Erf_y3NBpYaVrbF78zWeGQo8hbOZtnNf-cHDURwZv06YsZUkbE6-diUXIkYP4ULDxxEzSK7O7R5DrAuzgwQwhhHboVSVADBg1BPGLnEVu7DkO/s1600/DSCN1867.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyDVi83ZVA48LpZ-xZQXKWwjAZqU-32U6Erf_y3NBpYaVrbF78zWeGQo8hbOZtnNf-cHDURwZv06YsZUkbE6-diUXIkYP4ULDxxEzSK7O7R5DrAuzgwQwhhHboVSVADBg1BPGLnEVu7DkO/s320/DSCN1867.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584803077811348994" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiib5zsd8oHXwZyUQHF_raU8wi1f54eUybxAZk5C4SfDagXflcZgZ0D9oOiaUAnp267YlGtVOBSyMvDErDzpLTC8BVSU00dsHBsy_HZGaOo5RVzs9Sv2d7C7zGRmQQsVxWZINQTouztHEwu/s1600/DSCN1833.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiib5zsd8oHXwZyUQHF_raU8wi1f54eUybxAZk5C4SfDagXflcZgZ0D9oOiaUAnp267YlGtVOBSyMvDErDzpLTC8BVSU00dsHBsy_HZGaOo5RVzs9Sv2d7C7zGRmQQsVxWZINQTouztHEwu/s320/DSCN1833.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584803071863904610" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqSqqyAJ3scxNy_TUCw39GIYl9Kvq2d5VM12GylWQllsYe88BZcNYfY5l0uLpdawqnYpjPwwA4olztNVAwbJ7J7fHtHkOKCO4er9ont8xV7IyjBouek2CY7LTDiUcq3cLjODWORdu83H6A/s1600/DSCN1795.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqSqqyAJ3scxNy_TUCw39GIYl9Kvq2d5VM12GylWQllsYe88BZcNYfY5l0uLpdawqnYpjPwwA4olztNVAwbJ7J7fHtHkOKCO4er9ont8xV7IyjBouek2CY7LTDiUcq3cLjODWORdu83H6A/s320/DSCN1795.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584803066002221954" /></a>Matt & April Hermanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11184816810094960088noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-429321801185482536.post-65391468622119265102011-01-26T13:17:00.000-08:002011-01-26T13:46:47.877-08:00December/January HappeningsTo start off, Christmas was wonderful this year. It was so nice having all of my children healthy and growing:) We spent Christmas with Matt's family this year and had a great time:) The kids got lots of fun presents and had fun playing with their cousins. Bailey's highlight presents were a Leapster 2 and a vanity, which looks like it was made for a baby doll. I mean it is so small, it is comical! The boys favorite presents were 2 riding toys given to them by Grandpa Mark and Grandma Diane. They also got winter coats from Grandma and Grandpa Stephenson which was my favorite gift for them, since I use then everyday:) Matt and I got lots of gift cards and my mom made me a special album with all my childhood pictures, loved it! Matt's mom came over from Grand Junction to spend time with everyone. We spent new Years with her and had a great time:) <br />January is going great, I started my new business, selling Premier Designs Jewelry! I love it! My training show went great. I had a $719.00 training show which is amazing:) I think I will love doing this:) <br />The kids are doing great, Ian is walking everywhere now and is into everything. He is smart as a whip! Lincoln is up and cruising along furniture, he will start occupational therapy this week due to some sensory issues. He is the sweetest happiest little boy. Bailey is still in Preschool and doing well, she starts Kindergarten in the fall. She also just started taking Ballet, which she is great at and loves so much. <br />I feel very blessed right now in life. I am so happy with life:)<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx5ZtMveLKtTRtf0qAzVgUlZpILX2vsfDSRxZCekXoJ5VNBgxOsejC9L7BzAlG_xwZIhdqqragHAGe1MlW0-3fTqpUzQnPWLiegptH9unjnVgsfg9HYw6MK4_icySOl6pUN7gbL1oX1N-x/s1600/PICT0084.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx5ZtMveLKtTRtf0qAzVgUlZpILX2vsfDSRxZCekXoJ5VNBgxOsejC9L7BzAlG_xwZIhdqqragHAGe1MlW0-3fTqpUzQnPWLiegptH9unjnVgsfg9HYw6MK4_icySOl6pUN7gbL1oX1N-x/s320/PICT0084.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5566612658291596018" /></a>Boys playing <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPaw2KcsZNf6jNLOKsC7NwULUH5vKh6PgbuHbKSXqqyPLTnADyxluAerj9G3aJmZhEQez48FoXJTN1r00RjuELZVuuqJUq13NwCry0Wke3Ufyv3VVy5zNpcQxsOrIrwvymaRybRzYESUYl/s1600/PICT0085.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPaw2KcsZNf6jNLOKsC7NwULUH5vKh6PgbuHbKSXqqyPLTnADyxluAerj9G3aJmZhEQez48FoXJTN1r00RjuELZVuuqJUq13NwCry0Wke3Ufyv3VVy5zNpcQxsOrIrwvymaRybRzYESUYl/s320/PICT0085.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5566612651009182930" /></a>Boys falling, I couldnt stop laughing at this...I'm mean:(<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0aKuZSJxZG2sHXNcnvF0hCHnTxIFDBvaQzGrhulYLQVBvP3XEztA6E0Sv0i2OeTqmVG5w9BZywIfpuKSWt7t78Jm_DUtufbhHN45cP4G-XBFHQXA8w1aUI8OOFahzgd05yF5_WMPXP9Ci/s1600/PICT0104.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0aKuZSJxZG2sHXNcnvF0hCHnTxIFDBvaQzGrhulYLQVBvP3XEztA6E0Sv0i2OeTqmVG5w9BZywIfpuKSWt7t78Jm_DUtufbhHN45cP4G-XBFHQXA8w1aUI8OOFahzgd05yF5_WMPXP9Ci/s320/PICT0104.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5566612644288092274" /></a>Ian on his ride<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXNlHiZK1a0JDZqE-5wd06MYoSdRKh98OW42NoLYD4Lk5eZSXhw14uvLaJG-ti6S9VRjeKD3VsKlDKtmHL47I61UhQq_ewjmOCMqS87KfOClG6s9sd3eGRtujhGmuep9k1xDIwxjK-5PMj/s1600/PICT0073.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXNlHiZK1a0JDZqE-5wd06MYoSdRKh98OW42NoLYD4Lk5eZSXhw14uvLaJG-ti6S9VRjeKD3VsKlDKtmHL47I61UhQq_ewjmOCMqS87KfOClG6s9sd3eGRtujhGmuep9k1xDIwxjK-5PMj/s320/PICT0073.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5566612639488118898" /></a>Sweet Lincoln<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzOgTh7ul29pJuCUJ-pLgxCBneRJ7LhxWnkQaw8C_vb5CpZo33p2o15KB9rNr_AAE-CetMok6QHoJFwpL9WUHhPQ2WPD4wZsGi_UN8xToLgbBuxxufk1Am_AbdW-ezvjrA3IpBKC7HxYS6/s1600/PICT0108.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzOgTh7ul29pJuCUJ-pLgxCBneRJ7LhxWnkQaw8C_vb5CpZo33p2o15KB9rNr_AAE-CetMok6QHoJFwpL9WUHhPQ2WPD4wZsGi_UN8xToLgbBuxxufk1Am_AbdW-ezvjrA3IpBKC7HxYS6/s320/PICT0108.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5566612627540886402" /></a>Beautiful BaileyMatt & April Hermanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11184816810094960088noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-429321801185482536.post-7402789372423386032010-12-13T22:49:00.000-08:002010-12-14T13:26:25.231-08:00Ian is Walking!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJF3ntwyq91XDOEUakJA2PNqd1rb735_FpbqIrOKJab6mWDZOCXDrEkvFvdiuu7bg8Luw0o_YgxDcjPB7qjUCZY-E1aLNf0AaY9EsdSuODAF0P-A-8f-sm7dQztndj9vEvPaDNpfA5JLm_/s1600/PICT0071.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJF3ntwyq91XDOEUakJA2PNqd1rb735_FpbqIrOKJab6mWDZOCXDrEkvFvdiuu7bg8Luw0o_YgxDcjPB7qjUCZY-E1aLNf0AaY9EsdSuODAF0P-A-8f-sm7dQztndj9vEvPaDNpfA5JLm_/s320/PICT0071.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550652103393940290" /></a><br />Ian is finally walking! He is 16 mos old. So if you adjust that for being 3 mos. premature, he would be 13 mos. and walking. That is pretty normal. I am so excited! Our goal was to get him walking by Christmas and he is doing great! Now if only we could get Lincoln on board with the walking thing:) Who knows when that will happen:) I am so thankful for these sweet little boys the Lord has blessed me with. They are so fun and entertaining. I just love them so much!<br />I will try and take some pics of him walking, since my video won't load...sorry:)Matt & April Hermanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11184816810094960088noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-429321801185482536.post-34663181641413663572010-11-05T22:06:00.000-07:002010-11-05T22:31:55.552-07:00Bailey's 5th BirthdayI can't believe my baby girl is 5 yrs. old! She has grown up so fast! She is smart, fun, energetic, beautiful, and a great big sister. Bailey had a makeover party this year with her cousins and her best friend, Tienna. They had tons of fun getting makeup on and their hair curled. Then they put on a little runway show, with feather boas and attitude:) After that there was cupcake decorating and presents. Bailey got 3 new Barbies, clothes, money, jewelry, and Beauty and the Beast DVD. I am so grateful to have her in my life, to teach me how to love more fully and to have more patience. She is a firecracker of a girl and I wouldn't have it any other way:) Happy Birthday Sweetheart:)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8Mz8yFNeumdfptPDVUCz2mtswxFWpxFb9AD31Sc9TprF_3XIEn7rhNX2PIeiMRGozYgCSUFLBOMVUcscZm7FHAG6FMvhx7jw6uWsS9zmmZTCpUwYL-7Dd18PGO-fnhNC9-mLbvPe2s3Eb/s1600/PICT0003.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8Mz8yFNeumdfptPDVUCz2mtswxFWpxFb9AD31Sc9TprF_3XIEn7rhNX2PIeiMRGozYgCSUFLBOMVUcscZm7FHAG6FMvhx7jw6uWsS9zmmZTCpUwYL-7Dd18PGO-fnhNC9-mLbvPe2s3Eb/s320/PICT0003.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5536304679819354786" /></a>Makeover time<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLYORC5FWsry3bbhi47Yxkcudt4RChzKjCriKfIXR9ABLaPiaLySW10r1lh873yG8FZ_xbOIeJmiDHAPdE9glgEGxsBX-eHi1Hq2Rz8nKhkqobSZ4HS8210SJXKedSFxWwUmQefR4oTr8I/s1600/PICT0008.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLYORC5FWsry3bbhi47Yxkcudt4RChzKjCriKfIXR9ABLaPiaLySW10r1lh873yG8FZ_xbOIeJmiDHAPdE9glgEGxsBX-eHi1Hq2Rz8nKhkqobSZ4HS8210SJXKedSFxWwUmQefR4oTr8I/s320/PICT0008.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5536304675714999234" /></a>Tiena,Bailey's BFF<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnTbWctYSjyXqLCgRADRmvw4pyI6yIHMR8ex1CX1_XbNH1UInTz_G1pu9ZGen5xtviNWlOVf5S38CYTjVHzg6iVuhqw_AlQnCKHpHgqMIuX8Bo4vpD4tq_TCCn0t_mj1_ML4Nd6tjGbCp6/s1600/PICT0018.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnTbWctYSjyXqLCgRADRmvw4pyI6yIHMR8ex1CX1_XbNH1UInTz_G1pu9ZGen5xtviNWlOVf5S38CYTjVHzg6iVuhqw_AlQnCKHpHgqMIuX8Bo4vpD4tq_TCCn0t_mj1_ML4Nd6tjGbCp6/s320/PICT0018.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5536304672892683698" /></a>Strike a pose<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj73nrVB9m0-kv1i5jTcBfbzHwAay3jvrqS1jCQXEFz-gNZEFeHJgFSu0LnphHM9TnkSk8Fw5pn2NldT2fnE-gCmC3LiA-araskMuTTpulRBmzZ7fJpb0FtaTleNMzscDdfPNTJzH_4O9lE/s1600/PICT0023.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj73nrVB9m0-kv1i5jTcBfbzHwAay3jvrqS1jCQXEFz-gNZEFeHJgFSu0LnphHM9TnkSk8Fw5pn2NldT2fnE-gCmC3LiA-araskMuTTpulRBmzZ7fJpb0FtaTleNMzscDdfPNTJzH_4O9lE/s320/PICT0023.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5536304669475586258" /></a>Cupcake Decorating<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSLeyDSRnrvJjOST5ZTGZyflVmR-arERgUqvWQbnz1zZJkjx5Kjar9NP9qSzJH_CgiLEXQDozfyzpsaxuZnSVN-dKX8mLrnYbgJo2p7qMKuX102fdrY7Gxmj19OgfKnduBaFiULhkut8dI/s1600/Me+and+BK.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 306px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSLeyDSRnrvJjOST5ZTGZyflVmR-arERgUqvWQbnz1zZJkjx5Kjar9NP9qSzJH_CgiLEXQDozfyzpsaxuZnSVN-dKX8mLrnYbgJo2p7qMKuX102fdrY7Gxmj19OgfKnduBaFiULhkut8dI/s320/Me+and+BK.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5536304664424480946" /></a>Bailey and IMatt & April Hermanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11184816810094960088noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-429321801185482536.post-39989771022308198222010-10-05T22:01:00.000-07:002010-10-05T22:17:01.683-07:00New Member of the Herman FamilyI had great intentions this weekend, I swear. I invited 2 of my sister-in-laws over to help me decorate my house. Things were going as planned, when I mentioned that Matt and I had been talking about getting a cat. My SIL's are animal lovers so they jumped right on board, and before I knew it, we were on Craig's List looking for kittens. Well, a family about 15 min North had 4 free kittens, so we called them and they told us to come on over. They totally lived out in the middle of no where in a trailer, sad to admit this but I was a little nervous. Anyway, we found it and they had 4 of the cutest kittens ever. Of course I was drawn to the Orange Tabby cat who was definitely the most handsome. He is so adorable and friendly. So he is the one I picked and my SIL, Heather decided to take a black female kitten, who had an Orange stripe on her forehead and one on you forearm. She was adorable too. So now we are a happy little family of six:) Bailey has lovingly named "her" kitty...Charlie Whiskers Herman. He is super playful and very smart. He hasn't had any potty accidents yet and lets hope it stays that way:) He does scratch a lot though, so he isn't completely perfect...But almost:)<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtmULKXRuupNRl4bxUfz5rGwlsCyF5cUe5rrkQNOYOmuaFUj3wz0OtyvEXMv2I12yUsBcpU58L0cCa-Wy41zR-PFxCZK3Hd1_VjbweByTYcHoWsKvpxyYARm7MXqzm3WxblPJUf-32uQvC/s1600/DSCN1790.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtmULKXRuupNRl4bxUfz5rGwlsCyF5cUe5rrkQNOYOmuaFUj3wz0OtyvEXMv2I12yUsBcpU58L0cCa-Wy41zR-PFxCZK3Hd1_VjbweByTYcHoWsKvpxyYARm7MXqzm3WxblPJUf-32uQvC/s320/DSCN1790.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524797017086227970" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF3bNmHbVbypXWJV3N1zUYhe3mDhhahb6eMtNhpCrrsSzAN8xFNi7pVMq29M8Yowdy5b1RB2UYe_JEai8Lm_4z9TgRlrSMTPuetj9mcX1t9VMpltUZ7XVx_bRe6QOLNLYukHd-uTfYZyMZ/s1600/DSCN1785.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF3bNmHbVbypXWJV3N1zUYhe3mDhhahb6eMtNhpCrrsSzAN8xFNi7pVMq29M8Yowdy5b1RB2UYe_JEai8Lm_4z9TgRlrSMTPuetj9mcX1t9VMpltUZ7XVx_bRe6QOLNLYukHd-uTfYZyMZ/s320/DSCN1785.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524797013655070162" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd_rXYYgfUgfnGlzu1C5dV84u_wDSIwP3Xs8frUs45_BahjMD6ucoQm1iANQ0vQCS4dsr70EXdEjTQIE623J-R_TGE-JqRHSvI1WUwd-DKQIFkoqmrDJzNhk83L_bg_Ujtv9ECM3XEYUXJ/s1600/DSCN1782.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd_rXYYgfUgfnGlzu1C5dV84u_wDSIwP3Xs8frUs45_BahjMD6ucoQm1iANQ0vQCS4dsr70EXdEjTQIE623J-R_TGE-JqRHSvI1WUwd-DKQIFkoqmrDJzNhk83L_bg_Ujtv9ECM3XEYUXJ/s320/DSCN1782.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524797006975806114" /></a>Matt & April Hermanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11184816810094960088noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-429321801185482536.post-5465758842761349042010-09-28T20:50:00.000-07:002010-09-28T21:16:01.804-07:00IT'S FALL!Yes, it is fall and I haven't posted since Spring:) Sorry about that, but a lot has been happening in life. I will not try and play catch up, because there is too much so I will just post what has been going on this month. We had a wonderful Labor day at Heritage Square. Bailey had so much fun with her cousin Sophie! She went on so many rides I think we have a little Dare Devil on our hands. The boys didn't get to do much accept hang out with mommy, which is super fun:) After Labor day we had lots of packing to do because we bought our first Home! We closed on Sept 10th! We moved to Henderson, CO...only about 25 min. from where we lived before. Our house is brand new and beautiful. It is just perfect for us. There are so many young families here too. I think we will be happy here for along time. We even live next to a farm with a corn field! I love the country! The kids seem to be adjusting fine to it, they love their new rooms and having a back yard. That is the best:) Anyway, that is what has been happening here lately. Now if anyone wants to come visit, you can stay with us:):)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzszJR84cNYyA5TJlrq1Nah_KEoRM8U_F_1a0yfR-kEdzgiUs92To4We8DE90r1CzdcrkBtgEQyF9ZUw1Hi60YnoyuLQw-URLldw_afbHjTyLzzlsC3iSisg0gg-MzpwNIbFC8gaJiOBOb/s1600/PICT0315.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzszJR84cNYyA5TJlrq1Nah_KEoRM8U_F_1a0yfR-kEdzgiUs92To4We8DE90r1CzdcrkBtgEQyF9ZUw1Hi60YnoyuLQw-URLldw_afbHjTyLzzlsC3iSisg0gg-MzpwNIbFC8gaJiOBOb/s320/PICT0315.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5522180718709499906" /></a>Is it wrong to think it is so funny when the boys fight during meals.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC3v53AnFF2M8s5wJWG3iscRP7WNxwduCRZcwByliLhur8nesoeZHsfQsaB5eKFuLMU8r6RCYHHOxToekppVBMYjiTPArMw4qJqZb-guZk5x3Sc_Yrj86P6TXjf-xrxIO6utKrE5yXC66v/s1600/DSCN1667.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC3v53AnFF2M8s5wJWG3iscRP7WNxwduCRZcwByliLhur8nesoeZHsfQsaB5eKFuLMU8r6RCYHHOxToekppVBMYjiTPArMw4qJqZb-guZk5x3Sc_Yrj86P6TXjf-xrxIO6utKrE5yXC66v/s320/DSCN1667.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5522180718074551602" /></a>The House<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsSpF0uS-DDmNOj0fXvHzwbPJ18CsnFT5ykila2b23i94tgkrmnnUg2ttYVatIpilM4cndlNwYFy3k-EgnsPSYxDoy_Velqg2ayZEEN7VAM9iXCOuKRSmNh5HaBvbhyr7s_0ZezIjKPWNK/s1600/PICT0312.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsSpF0uS-DDmNOj0fXvHzwbPJ18CsnFT5ykila2b23i94tgkrmnnUg2ttYVatIpilM4cndlNwYFy3k-EgnsPSYxDoy_Velqg2ayZEEN7VAM9iXCOuKRSmNh5HaBvbhyr7s_0ZezIjKPWNK/s320/PICT0312.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5522180707177299554" /></a>Lincoln<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-POVI8uVUw0EN7E7HLnE8c1VZ4IsA8hQ2WZMY2KvoSPKIulO-FlsRvvNgoFzeFwkcCliIIxavPG5Ofd4YbjZa6go_r2IZYot2BAoUwp7pGkRQ-v_ErGs9mJo1nknfPSkBvmOoRuEU01z6/s1600/PICT0257.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-POVI8uVUw0EN7E7HLnE8c1VZ4IsA8hQ2WZMY2KvoSPKIulO-FlsRvvNgoFzeFwkcCliIIxavPG5Ofd4YbjZa6go_r2IZYot2BAoUwp7pGkRQ-v_ErGs9mJo1nknfPSkBvmOoRuEU01z6/s320/PICT0257.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5522180701422627890" /></a>Messy Ian<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5HvfQRJRxAzgkM6oSoKNQWhC8zBRGMx2FynJB4Pkd0HXCdwt5_bBzUu1OVa7kCoMvDIKEZVYOILF-zDGv8kdt-e5xuKK1syYPjAuI9u4w9Ri02dUQZcgDnXtt94ngvUidH1LRPxir7ihm/s1600/DSCN1709.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5HvfQRJRxAzgkM6oSoKNQWhC8zBRGMx2FynJB4Pkd0HXCdwt5_bBzUu1OVa7kCoMvDIKEZVYOILF-zDGv8kdt-e5xuKK1syYPjAuI9u4w9Ri02dUQZcgDnXtt94ngvUidH1LRPxir7ihm/s320/DSCN1709.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5522180694085674514" /></a>Bailey and Sophie on a ride together:)Matt & April Hermanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11184816810094960088noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-429321801185482536.post-81021603921365178352010-04-23T11:54:00.000-07:002010-04-23T12:09:48.184-07:00Snowing in AprilNot a lot has happened since my last post. The boys are doing great still. Lincoln still has some medical issues been nothing big. Ian is rolling and scooting around everywhere, so we have to be careful what we leave on the floor. Everything goes straight in his mouth. Bailey is still loving preschool and her teacher says she is doing great. It was fun seeing my Aunt Diane and Uncle Mike. We went out to dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. It was yummy. I swear the burrito Matt got was as big as my head. It was crazy! Today it is snowing like a blizzard. Is that supposed to be happening at the end of April? Only in CO.

Life with 3 kids is busier than I thought. Lincoln and Ian are doing great. They are 7 1/2 mos. and so cute. They are both between 16 and 17 pounds now, which is awesome. I expected them to be smaller since they were born so early, but they haven't wasted any time catching up:) Ian is really good at using his hands for picking up toys and transferring it between his hands. Lincoln is really good at sitting up, it's funny that they have different strengths.<br />Bailey started Preschool finally and loves it! It is so fun watching her learn. She is getting really good at writing her letters. She can write just about anything if i tell her how to spell it. She is making lots of friends and is starting to love boys! She recently decided that she has a crush on her Uncle Golden:) Watch out Aunt Carly, you have competition:) <br />Matt is doing good, he got a job at Comcast doing sales. He likes it, even though it is a lot of hard work. He still plays basketball every week and is sore all the time:) He is still pretty good at it though:)<br />I am just doing all the things a mom does:) I am happy taking care of my sweet kids, who entertain me daily:) So now we are all updated, Hopefully i can write more often:) Here are some pics...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIDfOsR6sxP9cO2KYtWErl1U2vYObctNO1QrgrtiKlxTqyNn-S2RjNtycbT2undbMq6dsWlQ20PgNHogxZlTckYNYrIABS9m3cSCSWM6Hhz-07aXOUtX8hnRxPKLizy0tFcByBJQLm2-uV/s1600/DSCN1051.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIDfOsR6sxP9cO2KYtWErl1U2vYObctNO1QrgrtiKlxTqyNn-S2RjNtycbT2undbMq6dsWlQ20PgNHogxZlTckYNYrIABS9m3cSCSWM6Hhz-07aXOUtX8hnRxPKLizy0tFcByBJQLm2-uV/s320/DSCN1051.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454084903694775058" /></a>Matt and Bailey at Nuggets autograph signing.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA40dzLqDH-DfxTF1cVmZqXmyB5FVxHP1NECMxmwGy9KM-gL3OGpXHC-iqTMgO_czzLKSRri-VeA58eFxgXf2x8oqZtXP8JgncC0jSCYf9u5kbpFGlw3YCKoYXPtQ3J3PfRYVUfuzehF3t/s1600/DSCN1042.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA40dzLqDH-DfxTF1cVmZqXmyB5FVxHP1NECMxmwGy9KM-gL3OGpXHC-iqTMgO_czzLKSRri-VeA58eFxgXf2x8oqZtXP8JgncC0jSCYf9u5kbpFGlw3YCKoYXPtQ3J3PfRYVUfuzehF3t/s320/DSCN1042.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454084895183702482" /></a>Twiners<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-YfT61o5uFB-SC30f6JVB4zSHs0RQa7HVGIqahl42u4o3GgCUWTDuvXGL7N0YqP4o_0c6YpKV8HIhtWUfvDa7kRxsX49a_uCItxujpLu4k3q2IdJ1rsQ_dBTaBfx67R2Z6A6PHK7WALtj/s1600/DSCN1038.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-YfT61o5uFB-SC30f6JVB4zSHs0RQa7HVGIqahl42u4o3GgCUWTDuvXGL7N0YqP4o_0c6YpKV8HIhtWUfvDa7kRxsX49a_uCItxujpLu4k3q2IdJ1rsQ_dBTaBfx67R2Z6A6PHK7WALtj/s320/DSCN1038.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454084890148159746" /></a>Lincoln<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjpXSszhppmcVR3SOouMW_BMdhQEwzf3YSoATEv7EqVO3r0sk-ofRC7gV4-8J2x_ZGlqnwO80AahyMCi1hyuT2mdZWZVSmc47t9e_LJHUHX_Ml2GbhCUV1nRtywUkzwDWs0Plsfrmh9DYN/s1600/DSCN1032.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjpXSszhppmcVR3SOouMW_BMdhQEwzf3YSoATEv7EqVO3r0sk-ofRC7gV4-8J2x_ZGlqnwO80AahyMCi1hyuT2mdZWZVSmc47t9e_LJHUHX_Ml2GbhCUV1nRtywUkzwDWs0Plsfrmh9DYN/s320/DSCN1032.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454084876903996674" /></a>Ian<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEI8h1He0zWVw5z93bG8Lo0dFzzz9CsnZAHN9nG3wCNdPHFK0gY1yEPMCwPz_5B9DtC9c6iQRMkVuvhCwuDk5d4gsRghtkorx1ZqjsVJeiF-nzvyioiIf4ihDzma7iOIsoAuEWPTSTkc_Y/s1600/DSCN0988.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEI8h1He0zWVw5z93bG8Lo0dFzzz9CsnZAHN9nG3wCNdPHFK0gY1yEPMCwPz_5B9DtC9c6iQRMkVuvhCwuDk5d4gsRghtkorx1ZqjsVJeiF-nzvyioiIf4ihDzma7iOIsoAuEWPTSTkc_Y/s320/DSCN0988.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454084867638953250" /></a>Bailey at preschoolMatt & April Hermanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11184816810094960088noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-429321801185482536.post-85301287650138991442009-12-10T18:56:00.000-08:002009-12-10T19:18:24.305-08:00I am still AliveYes, I am sorry I have been MIA for a few months, but a lot has been on my plate. Since my last post, we went to Utah in July and had an awesome baby shower and family reunion., I went in the hospital a week later at 26 weeks pregnant, was on bed rest for 2 weeks and then went into Labor at 28 weeks. I had twin boys, Lincoln Edward (3 pbs. 5 oz), and Ian Garth(2 pbs. 9 oz). We were driving back and forth to the hospital everyday for 3 mos. Both boys are home now and doing great. They are still on oxygen, but that was expected. Lincoln has some other issues, like an umbilical hernia, high blood pressure, and awful reflux. He also has an enlarged kidney. They say all of these things should resolve in time. Ian is just on oxygen, otherwise he is the bigger of the 2 now. We feel very blessed that they came out so well. Bailey loves them and thinks she is their mommy:) She is 4 now and learning so much, it is exciting. It is so great to be a mom. I am still in the tired phase but wouldn't trade this time for the world. Anyway, I hope to keep up much better now that life has somewhat settled. Take care everyone:)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6aJodynRRc6n4mY5eHXWaDiG_kg6usp2fjp-adTBI9Y_l9q3PHPrXwBbTnARG0fsDza6HoFcS2ycnqtStVf2l03dMlWsh8slZL-Gkl1ai-g4xpkM8prwolVhij80KRJtPParkcZF1X5fR/s1600-h/The+boys+Reindeer.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6aJodynRRc6n4mY5eHXWaDiG_kg6usp2fjp-adTBI9Y_l9q3PHPrXwBbTnARG0fsDza6HoFcS2ycnqtStVf2l03dMlWsh8slZL-Gkl1ai-g4xpkM8prwolVhij80KRJtPParkcZF1X5fR/s320/The+boys+Reindeer.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413811309516493682" /></a>Lincoln & Ian<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMaR4M9Q8KoQtgN4rJBxsjY-J5i1Yur1Cb0jmf-VW8_XwLz0AcfKhgF83MfqV__AFYqz9-sa2fq6W4RLZ1mBij1jIta3FBf40hPKQTAzxm_emyDBTj3TDeRuY6ZwcM6DuRcMRXtFSpYJJT/s1600-h/DSCN0605.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMaR4M9Q8KoQtgN4rJBxsjY-J5i1Yur1Cb0jmf-VW8_XwLz0AcfKhgF83MfqV__AFYqz9-sa2fq6W4RLZ1mBij1jIta3FBf40hPKQTAzxm_emyDBTj3TDeRuY6ZwcM6DuRcMRXtFSpYJJT/s320/DSCN0605.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413811303880108274" /></a>Lincoln & Ian<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6QxFXWihTMnN9OxjZQ__rc8R57Cjx96P-UHQ97iLMGHQt4_YBT0IpW8I_vOI0-cNzn6Z0vOuQuMixuwWhku12OQe1vzSHaEX_Ei756pkltyq3gEngi8iVt2dvnIqT7Dxsn2_5uijiJbAw/s1600-h/DSCN0604.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6QxFXWihTMnN9OxjZQ__rc8R57Cjx96P-UHQ97iLMGHQt4_YBT0IpW8I_vOI0-cNzn6Z0vOuQuMixuwWhku12OQe1vzSHaEX_Ei756pkltyq3gEngi8iVt2dvnIqT7Dxsn2_5uijiJbAw/s320/DSCN0604.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413811296744407394" /></a>Bailey, Lincoln, and Ian<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgISTVhoXWJ4FONrSqZGCfs35k0PFboVlS4huoUUMaQJrsqDak5JC9xFshg5f57d39a_Lrz4Mo_QGWtZ8tDSGylESK9CkDgn-hGkSzPnf5RD3flDkNpDpAvmYa42xDKuMrfogrrKf-GpbHo/s1600-h/DSCN0511.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgISTVhoXWJ4FONrSqZGCfs35k0PFboVlS4huoUUMaQJrsqDak5JC9xFshg5f57d39a_Lrz4Mo_QGWtZ8tDSGylESK9CkDgn-hGkSzPnf5RD3flDkNpDpAvmYa42xDKuMrfogrrKf-GpbHo/s320/DSCN0511.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413811289252816354" /></a>Lincoln & IanMatt & April Hermanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11184816810094960088noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-429321801185482536.post-54423162565660255972009-07-13T21:02:00.000-07:002009-07-13T21:12:59.794-07:0024 weeks:)Sorry it has been a while. Life just gets busy I guess:) I had my 24 week check up today. I had to have my Gestational diabetes test. You have to drink this nasty drink and then they draw your blood. I had to drink it right before my ultrasound, which was totally funny because the boys were on a total sugar high. They were kicking eachother and rolling around. It was quite entertaining:) Anyway, All is well. One baby is measuring 1 pound 10 ounces and the other baby is 1 pound 11 ounces. They are in competition to see who will be the biggest. Too close to call right now:) I don't have time to scan and post Ultrasound pics tonight, because we are are leaving for UT and the morning. YAY! It will have to be next week sometime:) I will post a sort of ugly 6 month shot of me though. Be gentle please:) Anyway, I hope all is well with everyone and i can't wait to see those of you in UT this week:)<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg94OnNxqeUNdT3nPBN5xFIQZcUr7G4Q5DkSKeTEqasZwckgcekzDKhj0lI556Jy2ofKW5j3XdnJXx3WMrYwC727XMxSRIvMqQO6OMySmUWVgqu20ePLHAWjVR4gufEtizI7LE7Nw0wHNoU/s1600-h/PICT0352.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg94OnNxqeUNdT3nPBN5xFIQZcUr7G4Q5DkSKeTEqasZwckgcekzDKhj0lI556Jy2ofKW5j3XdnJXx3WMrYwC727XMxSRIvMqQO6OMySmUWVgqu20ePLHAWjVR4gufEtizI7LE7Nw0wHNoU/s320/PICT0352.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358163373462021522" /></a>Matt & April Hermanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11184816810094960088noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-429321801185482536.post-20747123498940471002009-06-19T20:27:00.001-07:002009-06-19T20:36:06.651-07:002 Bouncing Baby Boys!Sorry it has taken me like 5 days to post what we are having. I am sure everyone knows by now, but if not, this is for you:) We are having 2 sweet baby boys. Matt and I could not be happier. They are looking healthy and great! Baby B is the show off. We got to spend an hour or so watching them on the Ultrasound and Baby B is a camera Hog. Of the pics we took of Baby A, he tried to be in about half of them:) Baby A is my shy boy, crossing his legs and just pretty much hanging out. It is nice to know all is well. I am excited to be seeing them more often now, probably once a month for a little while. I posted a few pics for you:) Enjoy:)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7YlXmjTDWRGBR905ErSRMyQPjUrdxllULQd43ttUHR0Pw-FZ_xxjWD4ScwNUBIL8WY1T5fq7W8Vt3n7TKKGMwSmkG3zTMwd4CRWmoEa8iuU7mvTAa-L9NDnlMWtny3gshRdtg21ar9ilj/s1600-h/PICT0332.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7YlXmjTDWRGBR905ErSRMyQPjUrdxllULQd43ttUHR0Pw-FZ_xxjWD4ScwNUBIL8WY1T5fq7W8Vt3n7TKKGMwSmkG3zTMwd4CRWmoEa8iuU7mvTAa-L9NDnlMWtny3gshRdtg21ar9ilj/s320/PICT0332.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349246617718181090" /></a>21 weeks prego.

I just get busy:) We are all doing great. I just had my 16 week check up on Monday, and everything is going fine. Sorry no ultrasound this time.(I was bummed) We get to find out what we are having on June 18th!(yeah) I have been having a lot of pain in my left thigh, but they say that is normal for a 3rd pregnancy. I guess my ligaments are not as strong as they used to be:) We have been doing some fun things lately. We went to a CO Sox game.(minor league game) It was so hot though, and Bailey was miserable, so we left during the 3rd inning.(Matt was not happy). Went to a place called tiny town, where they have tiny houses and a train you can ride with your kids. Bailey really loved that:) I also reconnected with an old friend from Highschool who lives here:) We hung out Wed. night. It was a blast. She has 2 boys and a baby girl. So cute! Her oldest boy is 4 1/2 and Bailey tells her daddy today that Jackson is her boyfriend. Remember, Bailey is only 3 1/2. I was dying, Matt was like what!? It was funny:) Please tell me someone out there has a daughter who did the same thing at her age. Otherwise it may be tough the next few years:) She was trying to kiss and hug him. Of course, she also smacked him right in the face, so maybe we are ok. All in all life is happy and good. Sorry this has been so random and long:)Here are a couple cute pics of my little teenager:)<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUbVALJBy6u1M-WfV_wiJOcXgGMAEWcf5UkRIdG66QoHHtIysKKLpnY3SQx41NalKUgmPazHrTZdjFfz8JiNW5LZ85r87kL8KnLRaBdfUkwkKLx1GiY0uB_PF9NEv9sa5D85cAV86jm_Bs/s1600-h/PICT0285.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUbVALJBy6u1M-WfV_wiJOcXgGMAEWcf5UkRIdG66QoHHtIysKKLpnY3SQx41NalKUgmPazHrTZdjFfz8JiNW5LZ85r87kL8KnLRaBdfUkwkKLx1GiY0uB_PF9NEv9sa5D85cAV86jm_Bs/s320/PICT0285.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338836569031611154" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr4z6YpQxK8AWUwskG8507GEcD2jxUFLotgj1YNyAvRhc5TwAoNfjDyT_I1vuSDKaSdpc-_7wvBtQWyJaquIycaRmFC2wX7wdN46kEJLman-0VEWaFQaow8m1pDEWAKUVm8BtFwrvq5ZlE/s1600-h/PICT0286.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr4z6YpQxK8AWUwskG8507GEcD2jxUFLotgj1YNyAvRhc5TwAoNfjDyT_I1vuSDKaSdpc-_7wvBtQWyJaquIycaRmFC2wX7wdN46kEJLman-0VEWaFQaow8m1pDEWAKUVm8BtFwrvq5ZlE/s320/PICT0286.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338836563372852354" /></a>Matt & April Hermanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11184816810094960088noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-429321801185482536.post-72036606843733250072009-04-23T07:04:00.000-07:002009-04-23T07:14:27.642-07:0012 1/2 week UltrasoundYesterday I had my 12 week Sequential screening. they have to do a bunch of measurements on the babies to see if they may have down syndrome or spina bifida. Anyway, the technician doing the ultrasound was really nice. She spent like 45 minutes with us. Well, of course being my children, the babies wouldn't cooperate with her, so she couldn't get correct measurements. I had to get up, walk around go to the bathroom. Then the 2nd go around, she got great measurements and they look fine:) As you can see, Baby B was the Ham of the day, it just kept posing for shot after shot(She thinks this baby may be a boy:))But Baby A was being shy and was curled up and facing down, so we couldn't get any profile shots. Bummer. The tech couldn't tell what Baby A might be, but I am sticking with Bailey's prediction of 1 boy and 1 girl:) Anyway, all is well with me, I am so happy. Until next time:)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtDorxIaqlQawAkRRjUA7VXq79YGpa3LIH58Omx4O32Td_KDl1pDIU1sHAUNoDXXtpr_0if4-wNe_CcdID9PYpdlGb5udLoOtsVW7I8U7qy0jC3GcRaNCS0K8Qrp_joSWIKaDrOjCEx57o/s1600-h/baby+B+profile+hands+by+head.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 243px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtDorxIaqlQawAkRRjUA7VXq79YGpa3LIH58Omx4O32Td_KDl1pDIU1sHAUNoDXXtpr_0if4-wNe_CcdID9PYpdlGb5udLoOtsVW7I8U7qy0jC3GcRaNCS0K8Qrp_joSWIKaDrOjCEx57o/s320/baby+B+profile+hands+by+head.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327888135844761778" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx_F9qaNNaXR5-8kf5ehpbPZJt4hgX7-cFEb9qo-zLIPt-grhsvVBG7QzAluNQF7dA8aDNy3neLPQDOZZYGcJmHV-dFmoiTlqKpxSWF1dr6FqvyoKHR-LNxxAZ6yjv1gIBp076ib4oQOQn/s1600-h/baby+B+profile+2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 243px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx_F9qaNNaXR5-8kf5ehpbPZJt4hgX7-cFEb9qo-zLIPt-grhsvVBG7QzAluNQF7dA8aDNy3neLPQDOZZYGcJmHV-dFmoiTlqKpxSWF1dr6FqvyoKHR-LNxxAZ6yjv1gIBp076ib4oQOQn/s320/baby+B+profile+2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327888129532393490" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0_lbWFXAhCH83EWnTitHApkUzeYmhDG6fopYxZ0I889phnXKQWklcktSSSSxTcug9NPv1qlzBvy0s4huftqckV_NKg9-wYtWqQH1lLKQTcSTccN5TFBwnNhJbhgf5geyxXM2jPZ4rDNmA/s1600-h/baby+B+profile.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 244px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0_lbWFXAhCH83EWnTitHApkUzeYmhDG6fopYxZ0I889phnXKQWklcktSSSSxTcug9NPv1qlzBvy0s4huftqckV_NKg9-wYtWqQH1lLKQTcSTccN5TFBwnNhJbhgf5geyxXM2jPZ4rDNmA/s320/baby+B+profile.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327888127356042930" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9wleHulgwopJYAQFvV7vZYfgzNfOs72EQnqFVQCj45-MZFVJle8cd_e7H0PYwckd7L2ng4I-X3YgbmgnOi7N-R_XIJTCWoXmhFeUJTvlsTEHPFAP3OOLZ9YzKuCi3xYIWc1U27vbzS3Pp/s1600-h/baby+B+face.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 242px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9wleHulgwopJYAQFvV7vZYfgzNfOs72EQnqFVQCj45-MZFVJle8cd_e7H0PYwckd7L2ng4I-X3YgbmgnOi7N-R_XIJTCWoXmhFeUJTvlsTEHPFAP3OOLZ9YzKuCi3xYIWc1U27vbzS3Pp/s320/baby+B+face.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327888126048698194" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinY9TLPExRVJpzXa3rWJ67dP8JoBFZTtxGW-50W0I7bay532OqNlkga_FHr2QYi4IOEvB4JKKI0udcF19OSqH3Ksy7861yG7vo1jJNLca48TqecOOM549aCILVang75yOJzZcw0TD5L0l3/s1600-h/baby+A+being+shy.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 253px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinY9TLPExRVJpzXa3rWJ67dP8JoBFZTtxGW-50W0I7bay532OqNlkga_FHr2QYi4IOEvB4JKKI0udcF19OSqH3Ksy7861yG7vo1jJNLca48TqecOOM549aCILVang75yOJzZcw0TD5L0l3/s320/baby+A+being+shy.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327888120373351154" /></a>Matt & April Hermanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11184816810094960088noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-429321801185482536.post-84994325923355078982009-04-13T19:02:00.001-07:002009-04-13T19:19:01.368-07:00EasterEaster was fun this year. Bailey was kind of grumpy when she woke up, so it took a bit of coaxing to get her out of bed, but she finally came around:) She was so excited to see her Easter basket, it was funny. We went to church but had to leave early, which I wasn't thrilled about but we had a family lunch over Matt;s Grandma's. It was really nice and then the excitement began. The Easter egg hunt! It was fun watching all the kids search for eggs in Grammy's backyard. Sophie and Rowyn did the best, while Bailey and Aiden did OK, but they didn't have much help from the adults:) It was raining a little too, but still really fun. Later we went to Matt's mom's for dinner, it was so yummy. I pretty much felt sick most of the day, I think because I didn't get enough sleep the night before, but its cool. I still had a great time. Bailey learned the true meaning of Easter so I feel good about that. She says its about Jesus coming back to life:):) I love that kid. We all crashed when we got home at about 9:30pm or 10pm. Yes, we were that tired, at least Bailey and I were:):) I Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivMc0sKM9He9B6D8GqPjp7Y_HRowKhhLZQR0a4-6EirN2wz1vMLBC5FQsalqgIQpA2ZmR6ocxMqFTZGASoAzprGW9utiuhHqRt9PweU4hB-MWd2UsgPLSzMJRGlyzcm6KcLfMCJWRPaW0u/s1600-h/PICT0226.JPG"><img style="display:block;

I can't believe it. We are so excited. It's still too early to be scared, so we will see when that comes:) Bailey has actually been telling us the whole time that there were 2 babies in there. Infact, the Technician didn't even check for more until I asked if there was only one. Then she did another sweep of my uterus and sure enough there was the other baby:) Anyway, our due date is November 1st, but they told me that they won't let me go past 37 weeks, so probably October. Please keep us in your prayers, we will need them:)Matt & April Hermanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11184816810094960088noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-429321801185482536.post-73818497890498842222009-03-09T19:29:00.000-07:002009-03-09T20:06:31.379-07:00The Worst Weekend Ever!Poor, poor Matt. I feel so bad for my sweet husband. So we moved a few weeks ago to a 3 bedroom 2 bath apartment that I love. Anyway, Matt kept feeling like he was in pain. He actually thought he had a hernia on his belt line.It was scary. He went to the Dr. who told him it wasn't a hernia, but didn't know what it was. she is lame! So he let it go for another 4 days which was this past Friday. His sister,Jill, who is a nurse, took one look at it and said she thought it was a staff infection.(An infection of the skin, and tissue) Well, that night(sorry this is graphic) it started draining. It was so gross! It did alleviate some of the pressure though. Never the less Jill convinced Matt that he needed to go to the ER and get on antibiotics quickly. So Saturday morning we go to the ER and the Dr looks at it and says it looks like an abscess or staff infection, and pretty much does surgery on Matt right there. She lanced the abscess 3 times. It was awful, cause I had to watch, It's like a train wreck...you should look away, but you just can't! She then put Matt on 2 different antibiotics, 1 you take 4 times a day and the other 3 times a day! The next day was Sunday. He wasn't feeling so great but toughed it out through church and came home. He took a nap, and our home teachers came over. After they left Matt started getting really cold and shivering. I took his temperature and it was 101.5. His sister said to go back to the ER, so we did. He was having shortness of breath, and convulsions in the car. It was terrifying for me. I thought he was dying. So we get there and there is a suicide patient in front of us at the check in desk. His wrist and Neck were slashed up and bleeding. Scary! They took his temperature and it was 102.1 and his blood pressure was 158/93, high! So they got him in so fast, it was amazing. They took like 6 or 7 viles of blood to test. I think he got poked in 5 different spots. Then they did a chest x-ray. We were there for 4 hrs and they finally told us that the fever had nothing to do with the infection. He has pneumonia! What are the odds! So he is on another antibiotic for that. Poor guy, I feel so bad for him. Anyway, that was our not so fun weekend in the ER:) Thanks for stinking with me to the end:)Matt & April Hermanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11184816810094960088noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-429321801185482536.post-75118587301140327652009-02-23T10:16:00.001-08:002009-02-23T10:39:39.037-08:00Las Vegas TripSo it has taken me forever to blog about our awesome trip to Las Vegas...sorry:) We left on Friday the 13th(scary) and checked into the Luxor Hotel(the pyramid). We were so tired that we actually fell asleep for 3 hours. It was the best nap ever:) We got up and decided to walk the strip because we had to go all the way to the Venetian, so far away! It took us about an hour and a half. Needless to say, our feet were killing us:) We went to see Phantom of the Opera. It was amazing! I have seen it on Broadway, and it was just as good or maybe better in Vegas! If you ever go, and Phantom is playing, it is totally worth it. After the show was over Matt took me on a Gondola ride. The Gondolier sang to us in Italian and he had an amazing voice. It was very romantic:) The next day we got sucked into a time share presentation for like 3 hours. It was pretty fun actually, because Matt is such a hard nose and wouldn't even consider buying one. I felt bad for the lady doing the selling. But we got free dinner theater tickets, and $75:) It was worth it. Later that day we went to Mandalay Bay and went to the Shark Reef aquarium. It was pretty cool. I got to pet sting rays so that was awesome. They are really soft. That night we went to the dinner Theater. The show was called The Kings Tournament. It is basically a medieval show where they joust and sword fight, you get to eat with your hands and cheer. It was a blast. The most unique Valentines date I have ever had. We had a wonderful time. Sunday we didn't really do much, just walked around and ate at a few buffets. We were ready to leave. Matt got us a limo to the airport which was cool because I have never been in one, so it was romantic. I love My husband so much. It was so sweet of him to surprise me with this trip. Love you Babe:)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbc83cvCSCiX5NUXFl9CeKcQrrE4Erykx-EGX0-x1ecHcDGfmay4xWCIwT32ZFzUwLTybzo8mUoPW3CMi1wZoVsd8cxq00lV2CAGiTT5E54HioqUystSIGeAb8laPGhzvWFRYWMD74-S_t/s1600-h/PICT0184.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbc83cvCSCiX5NUXFl9CeKcQrrE4Erykx-EGX0-x1ecHcDGfmay4xWCIwT32ZFzUwLTybzo8mUoPW3CMi1wZoVsd8cxq00lV2CAGiTT5E54HioqUystSIGeAb8laPGhzvWFRYWMD74-S_t/s320/PICT0184.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306063281456643762" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4xSVQVmdAgzRhGq4qXfSWxDfxkbbt8SQt8oYmmVXczoP1Maw3HYQj99SeLnTxOpaldiDwIOAp9g6YPVZKQsFq3SfnzF4m4A5_7jkLb0IMe-XwBTnZiXhAin8kX3ORYo8H0Aq8HP_zZpky/s1600-h/PICT0168.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4xSVQVmdAgzRhGq4qXfSWxDfxkbbt8SQt8oYmmVXczoP1Maw3HYQj99SeLnTxOpaldiDwIOAp9g6YPVZKQsFq3SfnzF4m4A5_7jkLb0IMe-XwBTnZiXhAin8kX3ORYo8H0Aq8HP_zZpky/s320/PICT0168.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306063272499328146" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-wl92xKATau6fID-iwuf8zEOOpmG1ssdKtmCD2pxQeVwOGexNEt2W4FYNC57mB4oJAqdSHdAuveDNLJpAPM4Zk_kZ76rnk4zJ60yuakpu9mnaGoAChNpkvZ53ei2UZvzYkxx4PXwRJcd1/s1600-h/PICT0164.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-wl92xKATau6fID-iwuf8zEOOpmG1ssdKtmCD2pxQeVwOGexNEt2W4FYNC57mB4oJAqdSHdAuveDNLJpAPM4Zk_kZ76rnk4zJ60yuakpu9mnaGoAChNpkvZ53ei2UZvzYkxx4PXwRJcd1/s320/PICT0164.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306063262141019362" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3PqJub8PbeQ0zBKili-xmOj2pb3xkeEVRzwZcBE4Et7BsI0CDLvyVhSDT9wAO-12qblryMuus1r1nz0p3DVIw-73CJwPHOoQ6HjkI8pKUIIperqfig88TIWfG3KlmH8e05XlXo_AyEFE7/s1600-h/PICT0148.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3PqJub8PbeQ0zBKili-xmOj2pb3xkeEVRzwZcBE4Et7BsI0CDLvyVhSDT9wAO-12qblryMuus1r1nz0p3DVIw-73CJwPHOoQ6HjkI8pKUIIperqfig88TIWfG3KlmH8e05XlXo_AyEFE7/s320/PICT0148.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306063253052888066" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5iGTx-d8bhfBy1M6ctYZ6_OT01_y560_hVylppfKar2PDf3RLCmKig83m7U3_C3t_XTCmaZsOPdGW6e-NYPfhD4PwILtLu2jIXuCNf_YXzEnnprkCrcyChhBUy3EPsqJSGhF4CEHdR9KW/s1600-h/PICT0185.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5iGTx-d8bhfBy1M6ctYZ6_OT01_y560_hVylppfKar2PDf3RLCmKig83m7U3_C3t_XTCmaZsOPdGW6e-NYPfhD4PwILtLu2jIXuCNf_YXzEnnprkCrcyChhBUy3EPsqJSGhF4CEHdR9KW/s320/PICT0185.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306063243832391138" /></a>Matt & April Hermanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11184816810094960088noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-429321801185482536.post-29739238380175036462009-01-26T13:26:00.000-08:002009-01-26T13:40:33.352-08:00Temper TantrumsOk, so the myth about the terrible two's is so misleading. You think if I can only live through 2, I will be ok. Well, I am here to tell you that 3 is so much worse! This maybe a venting blog, so if you don't want your ears assaulted with whining, I would stop reading now:) Bailey turned 3 in November and I swear a switch flipped and her temper tantrums increased ten fold. Matt and I actually don't know what to do anymore. She whines or throws a fit about almost everything. Especially if she is told no, or that she has to be patient and wait a few minutes. It is like I shot her or something, the drama involved in these tantrums is almost hilarious if it weren't so annoying and frustrating. Please someone tell me that their child is as crazy as mine. It's so weird too, because they end as quickly as they began too. One minute she will be screaming in time out and the next she is laughing and talking about how cute Matt's cologne bottles are. Please, any advice would be appreciated.Matt & April Hermanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11184816810094960088noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-429321801185482536.post-72930133971762252642009-01-18T17:23:00.000-08:002009-01-18T17:38:25.810-08:00Welcome Brady!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl0gxIWTMOsnrdaQgeuNxgAhZ786RCEiL4d15KDN3XaNlRxtRN3MZ3sVeKHBUX6DuMLNbCHNxC4ARjh5DEEM4jJiynoBb17mGBnwGtO6dnXkN6euktnyzIFgC_d4IzVXRX6XQBKD9P9R3A/s1600-h/PICT1194.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 254px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl0gxIWTMOsnrdaQgeuNxgAhZ786RCEiL4d15KDN3XaNlRxtRN3MZ3sVeKHBUX6DuMLNbCHNxC4ARjh5DEEM4jJiynoBb17mGBnwGtO6dnXkN6euktnyzIFgC_d4IzVXRX6XQBKD9P9R3A/s320/PICT1194.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5292813160865589746" /></a><br />For those of you who haven't heard, Amanda had her sweet little boy on Thursaday January 15th. Brady was 6 pounds 6 ounces and 18 1/2 inches long. I am so excited and proud of her for doing the best she could to bring this little guy into the world. She will be the best mother she can be, because it took so much to have him. It makes you appreciate you little ones so much when you have gone through great adversity to have them. I just want Amanda to know how much I love her and appreciate her faith. We have been through a lot together over the past 15 years. But we have come through it stronger more righteous people. <br /><br />I wish I could be there to see this little miracle and be a bigger part of his life, but I will just have to watch him grow though pictures and occasional visits. I already love him so much though. Congratulations Amanda & Nick. I am so happy for you both!Matt & April Hermanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11184816810094960088noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-429321801185482536.post-35001216281125666222009-01-15T12:12:00.000-08:002009-01-15T12:20:32.564-08:00Avalanch GameSo Matt got tickets from his company for the Colorado Avalanch Hockey Game. He was supposed to use them to take people from the properties he works with. He only got 4 tickets so he had to chose just one property. The property he picked has 3 leasing agents, so it would work out. Well, one of the guys couldn't go, so I got to go. These seat were in the front row, right on the ice. The retail value on these ticket was $198.00 per tiket. Crazy! It was so awesome. We were in the corner behind the goal, so all the fightd happened right in front of our faces. The puck got shot into the glass tons. It was actually a little scary at first. We had such a great time! It was one of the funnest times i am have ever had at a hockey game:)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFrF9G1UP4uF7hYBLvEmqooDEFixH-bHJpdwaMr1zTYTOEKledgNIqBZKjX73KjrzDFfcm-adI9DEZVktzWekCoe7w6tdnFAndhqpkDovRVCdoWmm31iZ6Xc7pGMC1xuPSkbJz5XXldRKJ/s1600-h/Avalanche+6.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFrF9G1UP4uF7hYBLvEmqooDEFixH-bHJpdwaMr1zTYTOEKledgNIqBZKjX73KjrzDFfcm-adI9DEZVktzWekCoe7w6tdnFAndhqpkDovRVCdoWmm31iZ6Xc7pGMC1xuPSkbJz5XXldRKJ/s320/Avalanche+6.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291617785332912450" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg21nnLDnBEly4it06KP7hfjc2in_Kaev_UXLa90QP8Yt0TKv-7f0EyhXwu1OnIqVbwTaAueLRYonpP6ocuywWH_PEEO81EBH4ZvbtUihqVUUNq87ny2GblOULvz37Mg_sEMV6Ng5Fp4aed/s1600-h/Avalanche+1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg21nnLDnBEly4it06KP7hfjc2in_Kaev_UXLa90QP8Yt0TKv-7f0EyhXwu1OnIqVbwTaAueLRYonpP6ocuywWH_PEEO81EBH4ZvbtUihqVUUNq87ny2GblOULvz37Mg_sEMV6Ng5Fp4aed/s320/Avalanche+1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291617778566521746" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJLtvO1B-6ciJhpP6X__Ob_6GEjJX4IjioKsXo6vmwP6ziL1pwKF7Ep8K3Rrt73T8499A35BWW-s3Og6Ie_begVcdRXVnsSz7DMXTd_CldJsOqUoKTQ52hs4euQEHGhqD7g4opnDnusjrQ/s1600-h/Avalanche+3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJLtvO1B-6ciJhpP6X__Ob_6GEjJX4IjioKsXo6vmwP6ziL1pwKF7Ep8K3Rrt73T8499A35BWW-s3Og6Ie_begVcdRXVnsSz7DMXTd_CldJsOqUoKTQ52hs4euQEHGhqD7g4opnDnusjrQ/s320/Avalanche+3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291617775058922802" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnxEfzUyFQMuBjY72Q3RrNVIku34NE45FK3_-wl9vrwkm5_AbhxXZugAxeOLyyg5PWDaBxG1Ov_e_Cz-EV3CdF0ZFiGuPL9ykYJ6mSGPaeeuuxmHorzNjWa0xIekd-F5J-rQLhV976aMAK/s1600-h/PICT0087.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnxEfzUyFQMuBjY72Q3RrNVIku34NE45FK3_-wl9vrwkm5_AbhxXZugAxeOLyyg5PWDaBxG1Ov_e_Cz-EV3CdF0ZFiGuPL9ykYJ6mSGPaeeuuxmHorzNjWa0xIekd-F5J-rQLhV976aMAK/s320/PICT0087.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291617770765475218" /></a>Matt & April Hermanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11184816810094960088noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-429321801185482536.post-80005128362082848132009-01-02T14:09:00.000-08:002009-01-02T14:34:26.794-08:00Utah TripMatt and I decided that we would spend Christmas with my parents in Logan, UT this year.We had to leave a day early because of the weather. We didn't want to be pulling into Logan in a blizzard. The driving was fine except that it was really windy in some parts with blowing snow. We pretty much just hung out at my parents house because the weather was bad. Luckily, everyone was able to make it for Christmas Eve, except Matthew, who's car broke down in Salt Lake. We had tons of food, and kids running around. We just talked and sang carols. It was great being with everyone. Christmas morning was great too. We got up at about 7 am, not by my choice:) But Matthew's kids were so excited. Bailey was a little slow to wake too, I don't think she is old enough yet to get really excited about Christmas and Santa:)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZFd3OtDdVLLABxT88NbBiSCHZzkqOu_gWzRfXwm6zGtl827TqCje7NxTRVJCiqh8qZY9XTfNjjMBEhAqa1FOi5m-MuZk3_40q4_U0kT79AgVFunYVe9PZLOtvxd5NC1C-FhhH7hujInOf/s1600-h/PICT0020.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZFd3OtDdVLLABxT88NbBiSCHZzkqOu_gWzRfXwm6zGtl827TqCje7NxTRVJCiqh8qZY9XTfNjjMBEhAqa1FOi5m-MuZk3_40q4_U0kT79AgVFunYVe9PZLOtvxd5NC1C-FhhH7hujInOf/s320/PICT0020.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5286826062376130626" /></a>Santa brought my mom a cat named Rascal.

So she knew they got each other the same thing, and so did all of us kids, but no body told them. It was hilarious Christmas morning watching them open the same gifts!<br /><br />The trip was really fun. The only regret is that we didn't go down to Salt Lake to visit the rest of my awesome family. The weather was just horrible that week. Oh well, next time I will see everyone:)Matt & April Hermanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11184816810094960088noreply@blogger.com3
