Update on the triplets

Yay! I just got more info. Sunny was hemorrhaging last night and having contractions through the night, which she didn't realize. Early this morning she noticed the hemorrhaging and got to the hospital at about 6:30 am or so. She delivered the triplets just before 8 am. Their names are Madison, Mckenna and Carly. (I didn't check on spelling, so that's my guess)

Sunny will stay in the hospital for 3 days and the triplets for 3 months until their due date. Their apgar scores were 6 and 8 (for two of them) and 8 and 8, so I thought that was pretty good! I can't wait to meet them and hopefully everything will continue to go well with them.

The Zoo

Last weekend we went to the zoo for Mitt's birthday party. (Molly refers to him as "Mutt") It was a lot of fun. The kids all loved it.

Molly apparently wasn't quite sure where to look. But she kept saying, "whoa" with all of the animals.

The cougar! This is the whole reason for the zoo outing, according to Mitt.

There were 4 giraffes.
The bears were playing together.

She was done with her stroller about half way through.

Grandma and grandpa with the girls!

The train ride
On Mother's Day, after church, we went on a short hike to a small waterfall.

We were in the canyon where the Draper temple is located.

It was a nice, short, pretty flat little hike which made it all the more enjoyable :)

Triplets

Justin's sister Sunny delivered triplets this morning in Boise. We really don't know hardly anything at this point except that they weigh around 2 pounds each and are hooked up to all sorts of machines. Sunny was 27 weeks, so this is obviously much earlier than desired.

Justin's parents are driving to Boise and hopefully we'll hear more news soon. I know Sunny is doing well, so that's good.

Please keep Kyle, Sunny and their triplets in your prayers! I'll post more when I hear more.

Happy Mother's Day!

To all of you mom's out there, Happy Mother's Day! This morning Justin made me waffles before church :) and he spoiled me with a new camera! He sold both of our old cameras on ksl, so we definitely needed one! It's a Canon Rebel XS, our first SLR. We're excited to figure out how to use it, but we can already tell that the quality of pictures is WAY better than our old cameras!

New acquisition

I acquired an 8 gig ipod today! Courtesy of my sister Emily! Wahoo! I'm not really with it when it comes to ipods. I've borrowed Justin's shuffle a few times, but just haven't really gotten the bug I guess. And so you know, she just got an ipod that holds videos and stuff, so she's fine! :) Although I am still appreciative! She left all 844 songs on for me! (Or however many!)

I just took Emily and Zack to the airport. They leave for China tonight! She will teach English and he'll be working in a hospital. They were really excited and a bit nervous when I dropped them off (you know, it got a bit more real at that point!). I'm sure they'll have a great time. Good luck you guys! They claim they will be updating their blog/facebook in order to keep a journal, so you may want to check those out!

As far as law schools go, we have finally heard from them all and we are in the same spot. The plan for right now is to attend the U where we've held his seat. But we did get an email from BYU today saying that they let several wait listed candidates go, but they're still interested in keeping Justin on if he'd like to. Of course we said yes, but obviously we're unsure if a spot will become available.

Molly is totally into corn right now. I just fed her about 4 small bowls!! At least she likes one vegetable, right?! That's what I'm telling myself!

Pictures

I've been meaning to get Molly's 18 month pics for quite a while now and yesterday I finally decided it was "the day". Unfortunately the Target nearest us is under construction :( so I called around and found that the kiddie kandids inside the Babies R Us by us had some openings. So that's where we went. I had never been there and they do a good job. Molly was pretty afraid actually because they put you up on this little 4 foot ledge and she wasn't so sure about it! The other bad thing was that I noticed her rubbing her eyes in her car seat on the way over. Not good when you want a cute, happy baby! After a while she was clinging onto me for dear life! She did not want to stand at all. The only way we got some good pictures was when she was sitting.

But it all worked out in the end. I decided that with fewer pictures taken, there were fewer pictures that I would want in the end. It was really nice waiting only 10 minutes for my pictures too; although they did add up really quickly and I didn't get that many. So that was the only downside as far as kiddie kandids went. Anyway, they're done and they are cute, but I don't have a scanner, so I guess if you want to see them you'll have to come over!
