More pics of babes and family cont.

Keylee and Wesley

Waylon

This is my new rocker/recliner chair! It has been heaven to have for these two babies as you can see we all fit so nicely together. In this pic Waylon (on the Left asleep) was crying at the same time his brother was hungry and needed to be fed so I set Waylon by me on the chair and this is when he fell asleep (guess he just wanted to be by his mom). I was able to feed Wesley and make everyone happy! Few!

Two pigs in a blanket for sale. Any takers?

We have had so many family members come visit and it has been so nice to see everyone since we are kind of home bound right now. Here are some pics of everyone. Kami and Preston came to see these guys and tend while we went to the movie and I am mad I didn't get a picture of them, But Mike and I were so happy to have a night out together. Thanks Kami and Preston.

Keylee having so much fun with her brothers. Since this photo Keylee has started school. She is so cute with the babies and misses them so much during the day. It is cute to see her interact with them when she gets home. How lucky I am to have such a wonderful family!

More pics of the twins

I have to say I am having the time of my life with these two guys. I still can't believe we have two of them. They are such good babies and I can't think of anything more fun then getting to be home with them and spend time holding and loving them. I love this pic of keylee with her brothers all together.

Well, so far ,the babes have been good to wait for one another during feedings, however yesterday they were both hungry at the same time. Keylee was such a great help and so excited to get to feed Waylon while I fed Wesley. I don't know about you keylee but I think we make a pretty good team.

These guys are growing so fast. There premie clothes are already snug on them.

Welcome Home Wesley and Waylon

Waylon

Keylee drove with me and kept a good eye on her brother, Waylon, as we made our way home. His discharge date for the NICU was June 20th. We are so glad he his home for good.

This is a pic of Wesley home for good. We were sad because the Dr. told us that he would probably need to stay at least 3-4 more days if he didn't eat through the night on his own. Keylee and I drove Waylon home and Dad stayed with Wesley all night to make sure he was going to eat. He did so good and so he got to discharge from the NICU at 11:00am June 21st and we are so happy he is home for good!

Brothers together again at last

MORE PICS AT THE NICU

This is a pic of Mike's Great Aunt Elaine holding Wesley. She is Grandpa Garth Sherratts sister. She is such a thoughtful lady. She sends us a Christmas card every year. She comes out to the care center often and visits cousins that she has there. She often drives far to see her brothers and sisters to visit them and encourage them. She is such a cute lady. I'm so glad she came to see the babies.

This is a pic of Keylee with Waylon. This is the second time she came to see the babies and the first time she got to hold Waylon. She was such a natural big sister singing nursury rhymes and talking cute with him. I love you Keylee you are such my great helper and such a great big sister!

Our Baby Boys

We are so excited to welcome our new babies; Wesley and Waylon. They were born memorial day 2010. I have been on strict bed rest for the last couple of months. While at home laying on the couch my water broke at 9:15. I arrived at the hospital at 10:00pm and these birds were born just over an hour after we arrived. I was unable to see them as they had to immediately go to NICU. Thankfully my mom was there and was able to take some pictures for me so I could see them. They continue to be in the NICU and are doing well. As you can see in above pic they are now in the same crib and are snuggled so cute with one another. I am so grateful for everyones prayers and support for the twins and our family. Mike and I are so excited and feel so blessed to be parents of these beautiful baby boys. (9 days old in above pic).

We're Having Twins

So I am still in shock and know that most of you already know that we are having twin boys! We found out, thursday, February 18th and we still can't believe it. I have previously been to the doctor two times and heard one heart beat in which the doctor said, "well there is only one baby". During the ultra sound the US tech was showing and taking pictures of one baby for about 10 min. Suddenly the tech stopped and asked me if I could see what she was seeing. I saw two round images on the graph, however I ignored it trying to look past it as I thought she was about to tell us the sex of the baby. She then said "There are two heads". I asked her at least a dozen times if she was sure there were twins as I was in such shock! I then started to cry and explained to the teck that I am a twin. Mike and I later learned that they are in separate sacks which is good as there is less chance of complications and of course that both are boys and are doing well. We are both so excited and feel so blessed. Mike said he can't wait to have boys and outnumber the girls in the family since he has been the one outnumbered. I have always felt lucky to be a twin and can't believe that I get to experiance having twins. I called my mom first and told her. She asked me if I was joking and I said "Mom ,I swear on the Bible"! After that I couldn't understand much of what she said other than, "I have to call people, love you, bye"! Next we called Mike's mom, and she could'nt believe it. I called Mindee next and she could't believe it. Mike and I picked Keylee up from school and told her the news. She is excited be a big sister and said that she is happy that they are boys. I spent basically the rest of the day calling and talking with family. What an unexpected day! I have to say Mike and I feel so lucky to have such supportive, loving families who are so excited for us.

In Loving Memory of Gary Judson Henderson

Our beloved Father and Grandfather June 28, 1954- January 21, 2010. As many of you know we lost a special person this year. I just wanted say how much we miss you and how much we love and appreciate you for treating our mom, Jillyn, so well. It was easy to see how much you two loved each other and it will always be a great example to us. Thankyou for being such a fun, and wonderful Grandpa to our daughter, Keylee and Father to us. Gary worked Most of his Life driving truck and was really good and fixing things, trucks and cars. If my husbands truck wasn't running right or he had questions about how to do anything, Gary was always good to help him out , and always knew what to do. We will never forget the day Gary and Jillyn were sealed at Manti Temple and what a special spiritual experiance that was. Gary always had a fun sense of humor and loved to tease, especially the grandkids, giving nick names for everyone. (Keylee's was Fancy Pants). We know you are doing great work on the otherside and look forward to the day when we will be together again. We love you and miss you !
