My blog pal @ Hickstionary came up with a new fun post- TTMT. Here goes nothing :)
What is your spouse's best quality?
Well, honestly mine changes daily. But today it's the fact that he LOVES surprises,not for himself but for anyone else. He loves to see other people happy and excited. To me that is an exellent quality because he is so giving. Like I said-changes daily. Tomorrow it could be that he cooks and changes diapers :)

Tag.
I was tagged by Hickstionary to answer 7 questions. ( Iam so excited to be tagged!- I am easy to please :) ) Then I come up with 7 questions to ask others ...however I don't really have any followers so no reason for that! Ha!
1. Do you prefer email, texting, phone calls, or face to face interaction? Why?
I prefer any type, typically I do not like to call because I usually have a child screaming or playing in the background and it makes it difficult to hear, but I think it is important to use the phone and just hear someones voice everynow and then. Technology keeps us from really knowing people. Face to face is good too!
and do you think God would prefer texting?....
2. What are your favorite blogs?
Hickstionary, CBH, Kelly's Korner, and Savvy Little Women.
3. If you could go anywhere, where would you go and who would you take with you?
Back to Hawaii.... I would take all close loved ones. :)
4. Have you and your husband created any traditions for your family? What are they?
Going to the Orchard every fall... I think since after the first year we have been together, now that we have kiddos I am certain we will have many more traditions to come.
5. What's on the menu for your favorite meal? (Recipes optional....)
Uhh... anything I have time for... Lasagna, Mashed Potatoes, yum. Desserts!
6. What is your favorite date night?
I am pretty lame. Dinner and a Movie makes me happy :)
7. What's your goal right now?
too many to count! My main goal is to come up with a working budget.(in progress) my next is to get my masters (seems impossible with 2 littles!)
if anyone reads this, feel free to answer my 7 questions....
1. do you budget? If so -does it work?
2. If money and stress were not in the picture how many children would you have/adopt- if any?
3.Whats your favorite website?
4.do you have a cleaning schedule? If so- what is it?
5.If you could meet anyone in the entire world..who would it be ? (other than our wonderful creator?
6. Favorite Candy?
7. If you could change your name for one day what would your name be? (could be made up or someone already living)

Sorry it has been so long since an update. Its been a very busy couple of weeks. The girls turned 13 months! We are DONE with bottles, next we are hoping to be done with the binky. One thing at a time.
Bible study is going really well. I cried during my testimony...which is definitely not unusual for me , some of it nerves, some of it...well -it just makes me sad.
Work is crazy busy and I am burning out :(
These are from the last two weekends, Brians Cousins wedding and my friend Bryana's birthday.
JOELLE

I really love the girls dresses with leggings, I bought them on sale at where else?... Baby Gap!
Grandpa and Grandma Salsberry
The girls were a hit, they really liked dancing.

FALL.
Well, October is in full swing and so is the Lord in my life. Constant praying around my house and has he done some amazing things. He is so good. Isn't he? :) I have joined a Bible study with some women at my church (1blessing). The book we are doing is called "For Women Only." Though I do not agree with the sexist nature of this book, I think she makes some good points, don't let the title deceive you , its actually in favor of what a man wants and needs.
I have just been taking fall in with my little ladies, we take walks every night and we have even been frequenting my favorite street. How can you see the beauty of the leaves and not believe that there is a wonderful creator of our world?
Lillian likes to keep an eye on the phone..you know... incase she gets an important call.
Joelle likes to just kick back and take it all in, so much to see.
We are practicing walking and soon will be off on our own.
Sometimes we don't mind sharing. Sisterhood can be a beautiful thing.
Joelle loves her babies and likes to pretend that she also has twins :)
We had a few visitors last Sunday.... ya see... they weren't really invited, they didn't stay long but they successsfully scared me to death when they were sitting on the awning right in front of my face....

They usually don't come into the city but I guess they wanted a change of pace...
Sweet.
We are getting used to the sippy and hopefully will be done with bottles soon.
We have been spending time with our Chole....
Sometimes.... she prefers we didn't................
Loving FALL and Chick-fil-a. They have the best Chicken salad sandwich that is nice on the diet and when I am a good girl all week... I can splurge on this.....
This week I tell my testimony at bible study... nervous but I know the Lord is by my side. I also have a doc appt this week... some strange happenings with my neck and possibly lymphnodes... lets pray I am A-OK!

Whirl wind
Well, I don't have a lot of pictures to upload like I usually do. I have been EXTREMELY busy, yes, more than usual. Last weekend we had a garage sale, so you can imagine how much work that was while trying to take care of 2 -1 year olds and my other child that is 28 (Ha). But atleast I got it done :) Sunday we went to the orchard... and it was such a quick trip that I didnt even get pictures, we grabbed cider and pumpkin and left.. it really wasn't an enjoyable experience.
The girls are now in their big girl carseats... Ya know it really is kinda sad to see all of their baby stuff go bye bye. But I kinda feel like I am done anyway..-eventhough I had a dream like a week ago that I had a baby boy in June... But I know that is just a dream and I know it is all his plan. But I plan to go back to school for my masters...sometime within the next 5 years. Then I will have to begin my supervision to become a licensed counselor....and ya know life will happen in between...so we'll see.
This week has already began to be crazy- at work they are starting the transition of placing me in home health... if I want to be there, I do, ...well I just want a full time position that is safe.
I am going to try going to a bible study tomorrow with the girls.... if it doesn't go well then I am going to have to drop out... PRAY that I can stay in it. I really need some time with the Lord, mom friends and adult conversation...other than work.
I am also trying to lose weight. I am still holding on to that extra 10-12 lbs of baby weight- despite what mean "C" says at work, YES, it is baby weight and yes I will continue to allow myself 1 Dr. Pepper per day. So there! I guess I feel like it is normal to have twins and still have weight to lose afterwards...but she made the comment that after a certain amount of time...its "no longer a baby belly." Um, this twin mom disagrees.. and I am certain others would too.
Enough of that.
"Sissy, PLEASE let me ride with you."

Praying for Libby.
To know exactly what I am talking about please go to www.libbyryder.blogspot.com
It is an amazing story of FAITH, LOVE , STRENGTH AND GOD.
I heard about this blog from a gal at work and decided to check it out. It is heart wrenching.
Most of you (if I have any readers?) know that I lost my mom to Colon cancer when I was 10 years old. This may be why I feel drawn to this girl, but her faith just amazes me. It is so touching. Please remember her in your prayers.
This video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZ-KoXUSjiE is also on her blog, I must say, these are the kind of girls I hope to raise my little sweets to be.
