George Banks Syndrome

As soon as things start to get back to normal, a curve ball is thrown to us again. Right now I feel a bit like George Banks on Father of the Bride, "All those how have it put together take one step forward. Whoa, not so fast George Banks." Thoroughly lost yet as to what I am saying? Let me explain.

I don' like April Fool's Day, I never have. I am just so gullible, I believe anything and I hate being made fun of or being lied to. Last Wednesday was that very dreaded day for me, but on the up side it was also our first OB visit for our newest wee one. YEP, I am Pregnant and was expected Nov.7th, but darn that April Fool's Day, it threw us a real curve ball this year, TWINS. I am now due sometime on October on or around Phoebe's Birthday. I have to admit I was in complete shock, and if I hadn't seen and taken home pictures of the ultrasound I am sure I wouldn't have believed the Dr. or would have convinced myself I heard wrong. As we called our family to share the exciting news many of them asked if we were joking and some who didn't question us on the phone, we later found out just didn't believe us all together. Well for all those doubting Tom's, see below.

Cory and I were floored to find out we are going to have twins. Cory really wanted twins because he is a twin and so we would be done with little ones. I kindly remind him that I have other plans, but who knows, after twin toddlers he may be right. We both are really exited and love to think of all the cute and fun things to do with twins, but I have to admit I am also a bit nervous for a couple reasons. One, when Cory and I were expecting Phoebe, we took extra care to buy most everything in unisex color pallets so we would never have to re buy anything, or so we thought. We now find ourselves in the situation of having to most everything again. Not to mention how do you fit 3 babies 2 and under with all their stuff in a compact car??? Oh wait trick question, you don't! This means we are now looking for a used SUV to trade up to, because Cory refuses to own a van. Two, the thought of two hungry babies crying at once or them taking shifts at night to wake up a cry scares me. Cory kindly reminds me, however, that twins are no real biggy and I just have to remember and that everything will work out. You are never blessed with more than you can handle so we here we go...off on another Fergy Family Adventure.

March Madness

March seemed to have ended about 2 days after is started for us. The last two weeks seemed to slow down for us a bit luckily, but we still managed to pack in a few more big events.

Heartfelt Boutique:

Many of you have asked how Lexy and I did at our first boutique so here is the run down. I unfortunately didn't do anywhere as well as I wanted, in fact I didn't break even. Lexy did much better, in fact she was the highest selling bow maker there. With that said, however she didn't break even either. We ere both a bit discouraged, but luckily through some connections, we found a small boutique shop in town (Tiddlewinks) that has offered to sell our items in their store. Here is a few snapshots of our table.

Grandma's Easter Treat Party

Every year all of us Fergy girls and wee ones gather together to make easier candy. Normally we make tons of items with melted chocolate and caramel filling. This year, however, we decided to make a change so the kids could participate more with the treat making process. We opted to make Rice Krispie Treats in Easter molds and make a homemade version of Twix. The older children loved filling the molds with sticky Krispies and then adding fun sprinkles on top of the twix. The Younger children participated in more of the eating phase of this party, Zack Loved the Krispies, while Phoebe enjoyed more of the sprinkles.

Sandy 2nd Ward Talent Show

Last Friday our ward held a talent show and while we didn't perform in it we did bring a few talents of ours to display. Cory brought a few of his paintings and I made a delicious fruit pizza of thanks to Jalene for giving me her recipe for it. The talent show was a ton of fun, we all had a blast. Cory and I enjoyed the acts while Phoebe enjoyed dancing around with her new boa curiosity of the Primary presidency's chicken dance. I don't have any pictures of that night, but I do have some pics of Phoebe and her new boa, which I loath because it sheds everywhere, as shown below.
