A LITTLE UPDATE!

On July 23rd Chris and I had another baby checkup. Both babies measured good and on time. They are both staying within a couple of days of each other on their measurements which is what you want when it comes to twins. We were also able to tell what our babies are. And we are having..........TWO BOYS!!! That's right...another set of twin boys in the Hamm family. Chris's sister has identical twin boys, Gavin and Hayden. We are actually in California visiting them right now. Gavin and Hayden turned 2 years old on July 27th. We had a blast getting to spend time with them and are so sad that we have to leave tomorrow to go home. But it's always nice to return home. Anyways, other than finding out that we are going to have two more sons and vacationing in CA, not much more is going on in our House Hold. As soon as we get back we are going to start shopping for the babies and getting their nursery ready, so I will be posting some pics soon. Oh and we will get the doc to reconfirm the gender of our babies on August 20th at our next appointment.

THE COOLEST THING EVER!!

Okay...so I'm really anxious to start shopping for our Twins, but unfortunately I'm on hold until we find out what they are. But in the meantime I've found a couple of things that I'm not going to be able to live without and due to the fact that your color patterns are very limited with stuff for twins, these things won't really matter. They aren't gender specific. My first find is a Pak N Play for twins. It's one Pak N Play that is a little bigger than a regular Pak N Play, but it has two Bassinets for when they are Newborns, so this will be a huge space saver. I have found it availabe at Babies R Us and Walmart, but unfortunately it is only availabe online which is how most twin stuff is. But anyway, I just thought I 'd share this cool find.

Then my mom and I shopped one morning on the internet for Baby Beds. I had a bed in mind, but was unable to find it anywhere. I wanted a baby bed that was two toned and when I say two toned, I mean has some white and some wood color on it. So we looked around and found a bed that we just can't resist. I asked Chris what he thought and he said he liked it, but you know how guys are, they just don't really get into the decorating.

The other best thing that we got was a Black and Decker Storage Cabinet for our Garage. I'm using it to store seasonal things, that were just taking up much needed space in our house. If you are looking to create space and get more organized this is the best thing for you. And it is very sturdy and well worth the money. You can find this item at Lowe's.

We also got some more shelves to go in our hall closet and what will soon be the babies closet. So we are on the road to organization in the Hamm Household. Hopefully by the time the babies get here we will be organized and ready.

4TH OF JULY FAMILY BEACH BASH!

Last week my whole family headed down for a week at the beach. We always go every year for the 4th of July. So it was a total of 14 of us this year and we had a blast. Let's see...there was my family which included me, Chris and Brady and then my sister's family which was Kelley, Keith, Victoria, and Daniel. And of course my mom and grandmother went as well. We were all in one condo together. Then my Aunt Jessica, Uncle Barry, William, Walton, and his girlfriend Lauren were in another condo. The first day we were there we almost got blown away by a storm that came through. We were all getting our stuff together and heading up to the room because it was looking pretty bad outside and then all of a sudden this wind out of nowhere starting blowing everybody's stuff down the beach. Our tent made it thanks to Keith, Barry, and William. But by the end of the week we looked like we had been ship wrecked. Our tent was being held up by a 2x4, tow strap, bungee cords, zip ties, and some rope. It was rather funny. After that storm all the other days were beautiful. On Friday night we all got together and ate BBQ in teh room and then sat together to watch the Firework Show that Gulf Shores put on. It was awesome and the kids LOVED IT. We left on Saturday the 5th and were so sad to leave, but looking forward to being back at HOME SWEET HOME.

HAPPY 2ND ANNIVERSARY TO US!

Chris and I celebrated our 2nd Wedding Anniversary on June 24th. It's so hard to believe that we have been married for 2 years. Each year we do the dorky thing and get each other something small that goes with the "traditional" wedding gift list. This year was cotton. So since my hubby loves to cook all the time, I got him a Chef hat with his name printed on it and HE LOVED IT!!! Unfortunately, we had to spend our anniversary apart because Chris had to go away for work that week, but he sent me a lovely bouquet of fruit that was DELICIOUS! And the fruit was shaped into flowers.....how cool!! He didn't get the "cotton" item, but at least he remembered. HAHA!!!
