Not last Saturday but the Saturday before we went to the Fall Fair! We decided to go early in the morning so that we'd be home by noon. We were all excited to see if Emma won any ribbons for the contests she entered. I can't remember if I mentioned which ones, so here they are.
1. Cake decorating
2. Cookie decorating
3. Something made from a recycled material
4. A collection
5. A coloring picture
Sooooo...she won First Place for her cake, and 2nd place for her recycled material (she made a wallet out of a juice carton. She was pretty proud and so are we!!!
While we were there we discovered quite quickly that we attract a lot of attention. In about 10 minutes that we were there, we got stopped at least 9 times by people wanting to see the twins and ask a ton of questions. And believe me I don't mind stopping and chatting and sharing the amazing story about them and about half of the people had heard about these little miracles!! 
So we went on looking at all the booths and again getting stopped over and over again. The same questions...how old are they, how much do they weigh, what are their names, are you getting much sleep, how does Emma like being a big sister. We soon realized that we should of put up post it notes with all the info, cause our voices were pretty sore soon after. On the good side, even though we got stopped a lot and Emma was getting annoyed at all the questions lol...everyone was so sweet and supportive and caring. Anyways...we ended up leaving at 4:00 pm!!!!!!!!!!!! We were there from 10:30 to 4:00 pm!!!!!!!! And the majority of that time was spent socializing. By the time we got home, hadn't had lunch, we're totally thirsty cause it was so very hot that day...we were totally exhausted. But I got my kettle corn, cotton candy and Watkins White Vanilla!! So I was happy!! lol
Matt's Grandparents came up for a visit that weekend too. So they are the kids Great Grandparents. This would be their 10th and 11th grandchildren! They loved meeting them! Oh and I did get two games of spite and malice in with Grandpa!!
Let's see...well last Thursday we took a long truck ride to Kamloops for Nate's ultrasound and the boys pediatrician appointment. We were up at 5 am and out the door at 6:30 and at the hospital right at 9:05am!! We threw the boys into the stroller, screaming and all and booked it to the ultrasound department. And I must say we attracted some attention lol...and I had to do a avoidance move to a sweet little old lady who attempted to block my path to the ultrasound department.
Anyways Nate had the ultrasound, which we found out later that it came back normal!! We don't have to retest!! So we are super happy about that. Later on we went to our Pediatrician's appointment...and I have to also mention...our Pediatrician...HOLY HANNA - he's a McDreamy!!! Young south African doc...accent and all!! Yep....LOVE Dr. Van Dyk!!! He was great with the boys, took his time and went through everything. Let's see for Hudson - He still has a small hydrocle (fluid in his testicle), umbilical hernia, and he has Reflux. Which explains why he throws his head back and spits up a lot. So now he has to be on a medication for it. But other than that he's good! As for Nate - he is good too, hydrocle, hernia, might have small reflux but not something we should medicate. But he thinks his vocal cords haven't fully developed. Which would explain the grunting and honking he does...sometimes he sounds like a goose or a badly playing clarinet! He will grow out of it, but it will take time.
So other than that, they are good and we'll have to see him again in December.
We have had a bit of bad luck this week...well it's been a continuation on previous bad luck...our fridge was broken, the outdoor wood furnace was broken, washer wasn't working and septic tank needed to be flushed out. Honestly! We need to win just a little lotto would be nice!! Anyways, fridge got fixed, washer got fixed and it was still under warranty, wood furnace can be fixed, but Matt has to crawl in there and scrub all the kreasoke off. And then the septic tank got flushed.
Tonight, my work gave us a baby shower. It was so much fun! Finally we got to do some normal baby things that you do when you have a baby. It was so great to see everyone and have them meet the babies. We played some games, baby scrabble, Price is Right (where we had to guess the prices of some baby items), and my all time favorite FAMILY FEUD!!! Now for those of you that don't know, Bonnie and I (she was the one who organized this shower) she and I would ALWAYS play Family Feud on my IPhone on our breaks. I do miss it!!!!! So when she did a mock Family Feud, I honestly squealing with delight I was so happy!!! And my team won!! WOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! We laughed so hard, it was great!!We ended up getting some great gifts!! Very cute outfits, lots of diapers, formula, beautiful quilts, gift cards and more! It was just wonderful!
Well now I'm super tired, and need to get some sleep before the boys wake again! Hmmmm lets be honest...I'm going to sit on the couch and watch out PVR'd shows....Survivor, Criminal Minds, CSI lol
