Goodbye Tito... Hello Dwight

News so exciting our excitement is apparent on everyone faces... well perhaps Josh could stand to be be a bit more excited.

On Tuesday night the Ferguson family took another large step forward to blend into the Utahan way of life. Curious to what we are talking about? I am saying we are now minivan people, much to Cory's dismay. For all who said 3 car seats don't fit into the back of a normal car, well you were right, so we traded in our beloved Tito.

We bought this handsome ride instead, we are calling him Dwight. He seats 6 and is smaller than a normal minivan so he still fits in our single garage. We have never owned a Mazda before, but I am assured that they are good rides. We even splurged and got a DVD since we got this pre-owned boy for a good price. It has been less than 48 hrs, since we bought him, but I think I am really going to enjoy having Dwight as a part of our Fergy family.

The Great Pumpkin & Halloween

The night before the twiners were born we took Phoebs to the corner pumpkin "patch". Really it was an empty parking lot filled with hay bales, pumpkins and a corn maze. This was Phoebes last special hurrah before the twins, but unfortunately she cared more about the messy hay on the ground than any pumpkin there, so we picked a small pumpkin out for her.

For Halloween this year we decided went with the theme of Little Bo Peep and her sheep. I was worried at first that no one would get that Phoebe was Bo Peep, but everyone got it with no problem. We even dressed the twins up as her sheep, but almost no one saw them as the only place they trick-or-treated was Grandma Fergy's home. For the majority of the festivities including the wards' Trunk or Treat Party & Trick-or-Treating the neighbors, we had to just say Little Bo Peep had lost her sheep.



This is the Fergy clan trick-or-treating Grandma/pa Fergy's house.

This is how the twins trick or treated Grandma's house, note the comparison of how Phoebe also trick or treated Grandma her first Halloween.

A is like unto B, as B is like unto...

Last week I finally took the time to take our traditional bear pictures. If you are unfamiliar with what these are, every month, until their one, we take pictures of our wee ones sitting next to this bear.

CAMI & JOSH
Age: Newborn


PHOEBE

Above: Age- 2yrs / Below: Newborn & 1 yr

Two of a Kind...
Everyone who has seen the twins points put that Cami looks just like her older sissy Phoebs, but what many do not see is how similar Josh looks like Phoebe when she was a chunky newborn. Below is a picture I snapped of Josh, to his right is a picture of his older sissy Phoebs when she was s newborn. No only do they look the same, but they even sleep alike.

Babies On Board

Yesterday was the one week birthday of our newest additions, Camille (Cami) & Joshua (Joshie). They were born Thursday, October 22nd, Cami came out first at 8:02 am weighing 5.0lbs and measuring 18 ½ in long. Josh was the second out at 8:04am weighing 6.14 lbs and measuring 19 in long.


As a perk of delivering at Alta View Hospital (the orphan child of hospitals, as the one of the nurses described it) we were treated with a very soft full length robe and a dinner date night in our room. On another side note this hospitals also has some of the nicest nursing staff ever.

Because of the Swine Flu scare the hospital rules changed and you can only have two visitors at a time and NO children under 14, so unfortunately Phoebs had to wait to meet her siblings for 4 days, but it was no loss to her, because Grandma & pa Potts came to stay with her and they brought Phoebs’ beloved teacup poodles with them.

It has taken Phoebs some time to adjust, but she is starting to be a very cute & loving big sister.

Terrible Twos Already

As of October 12th our wee Phoebs turned the dreaded “Terrible Two.” To document the milestone Uncle Davey took Phoebs to the international peace gardens for some pictures.

For the most part Phoebe has been the same ole' high energy curious toddler as ever, but every once and a while she applies her high energy to bad doing...the sad part is 1) this isn't our house , it's Grandma Fergy's & 2) This isn't the fist time this has happened, it is the 2nd time this month. To clean her off we have to vacuum her whole body, even her hair.
