Update(:

Updates..(:

Well,
Hello Bloggers..
This is Fallon...again.
I was told to update our blog tonight..so here I am...updating.
As you all may not know...I am now a Freshman in High School and just completed my season for the first ever Waukee
High School swim team which was an amazing season. My team just got 3rd out of the whole Region..for our first year that is pretty amazing! I was on the Varsity team for Freshman year which is a good accomplishment and I am very proud of my tream/

Lilly and London started preschool and they are almost Potty Trained..(:
We are working on it. They have started to think they are the "boss" as they tend to call themselves.
But we adore them..and Love them.

My dad is finishing up his last year of Residency soon...which means we will be moving. After many years of training he is excited to be done. He has been interviewing around many places in Missouri and even here in Iowa. He also has gotten many offers and I am very proud of him. We just keep praying that everything will turn out okay. And we all know it will.

We went to Wisconsin Dells this summer and got to do many fun things. I got to ride horses and go on the first ever upside down water slide which was probably the scariest moment of my life. Im. Not. Joking. Even my dad screamed and that takes a lot. aha(:
I also got to go to a BYU swim camp in Utah at the BYU Campus. I had a blast. It was so much fun and I'm hoping to be able to go next year. I also went to my very first ever Youth Conference. I. Loved. It. Too. That was a lot of fun too. But then again everything is fun to me(:
I am so excited for this Winter. I love the Holidays..I'm just wishing it would snow soon.

My mom, well she's ready to be done with this whole Residency thing. She wants to be settled. And I don't blame her. I think it would be fun to be settled. She's an amazing mom..she does so much for me. I love her.

Well,
I'm going to post some pics up..so
Bye(:

It's Been A Long Time

Hello everyone,
This is Fallon..i'm typing for my mom because i'm a great daughter, and she hasn't been on for over a year! Well, lets catch up!
The girls turned 2 February 24, and are not yet potty trained! ughh! They are getting very independent, but are a joy everyday. Me (Fallon) was sick all Winter with MONO, Sinus Infections, and many other things I do not know. Because of my sickness I missed State, and was not able to participate. But luckily I was able to go to Regionals (when the whole mid-west region competes) and placed 11 over all on my Backstroke. I am just now getting my strength back. My mom is doing well, and still smiling, as well as stocking me on FACEBOOK....My dad, is happy to be in his last year of Residency in July. Which means we will be packing and moving again! We went to San Diego in the summer for Vacation. Fallon, got attacked by a Seagull because she was holding dead fish feeding the Seals. It was a fun Vacation, I also got to swim with Beluga Whale! It was amazing! lol.
We will try to be on more,

With Love,

Fallon & the Family

London & Lilly's 1st Birthday!




I cannot believe it has been 1 year since these two little angels were born. They turned a year old on Tuesday, February 24th. We had a little party with just family. My Mom and Dad came up and Alisha, Michael, Hayden and Maya came over. Spencer video taped, Fallon took the snap shots and I did everything else. We dressed them in little too-toos. London had a purple on and Lilly had a pink one. They opened their presents first. They each got a rocking chair, talking elmos, and books. Fallon made them each a stuffed animal from build-a-bear. London's was a monkey and Lilly's was a bunny. Spencer and I bought them a playhouse for the backyard. They will have a blast in it this summer. After presents they ate their first cake. It was so cute watching them carefully touch the frosting for the first time. After the first taste it was over for the little ladybug's. London stuck her whole hand in it. Lilly just ate and ate. London kept saying "hmmm, hmmm, hmmm" over and over. She obviously loved it. She is our eater though. She loves food. After they finished we had to strip them down and wash them up. Cake was in the ears and hair and eyes. Too cute!

At the end of the day we were all tired, but feeling very blessed to have such a beautiful growing family. Having twins has been so fun and rewarding. We thank the Lord everyday for all three of our beautiful girls.

All about Fallon!




Fallon is now 12 1/2 years old. She is very grown up for her age, sometimes. She loves pizza, cheese only. She loves texting her friends, swimming, playing the guitar and fashion. Her and her friends planned out matching valentines outfits. They wore pink/red skinny jeans and came over here to make valentines t-shirts. Fallon's turned out really cute. This last weekend she swam in sectionals, which qualifies you to swim at the state meet, if you make the cut off times. Fallon made the state cut off times by far this year and will compete in the state swim meet on March 7th. She has also qualified in to swim at regionals this year in nine different events. Regionals will be held in Minneapolis, MN on March 28th and 29th. We are so proud of Fallon and all she has accomplished this swim season. In June, she will attend a swim camp at the University of Iowa in Iowa City. It is 5 days and four nights. She will be rooming with her friend on the swim team. I am excited for her to learn new things from coaches on a higher level.

Fallon is also in choir at school and had a concert not long ago. She sings with her new guitar she got for Christmas. She began taking guitar lessons in January and has done very well. Her instructor is very impressed by her ability so far. She does well in school and will be an 8th graders next year. We went to orientation last night at the school. I cannot believe she has grown up so fast! Spencer and I adore her and know she is well on her way to becoming a great and accomplished daughter of God.

Let's catch up!




The above slide show is in October and November. London and Lilly were Lady bugs for Halloween. London was always in the candy bowl. They were crawling everywhere and getting into everything. Fallon made a dinner for us to pass of a 10 hour project for Young Women's. She also made the apron she is wearing, for the project.





This slide show is during November and December. We celebrated Christmas here in Iowa. We made a gingerbread house, which was lots of fun. Fallon got a guitar and the twins got an ice cream truck to ride in. They love their gifts. My parents came up and spent Christmas with us. We had a family dinner on Christmas eve and Alisha and her family came over. This was the first year we have had family with us for Christmas. The twins sat on santa's lap, but didn't really like it. Fallon wouldn't, I guess she is getting to big. She is such a beautiful girl.




These pictures are in January. Take notice of the twins in the snow. Spencer brought some snow inside one day for them to play with. We then decided to bundle them up and put them out in the snow and make snow angels. I don't think they enjoyed it too much. Also note the funny faces that London and Lilly are making, they just learned it. They love bath time and are so cute during nap time. Fallon loves to play with them. They get so excited when she comes home from school. They crawl all over her.

London and Lilly are both walking and have been for a while. They think they are so cool now that they are upright like the BIG people in their life. They both have 12 teeth, but little hair. :)

I AM BACK!!!

Girls first pool experience, at the hotel by Mall of America


At Mall of America


After church one Sunday
Ok, so it has been very challenging to keep up with my blog, but I am going to try harder! The twins are now 8 months old! Where has the time gone? They are both crawling everywhere. London has 7 teeth and Lilly has 4. London can now pull herself up to everything, which makes for a lot of bruises. I think she is wanting to walk, what am I going to do. As you can see London favors me, left, and Lilly is a little Spencer, on the right. I have enjoyed every minute with them.

A quick update: Our summer flew by for us. Spencer was so busy that the only vacation we could squeeze in was a three day weekend to Mall of America. It was lots of fun and lots of shopping! Fallon absolutely loved it. If any of you haven't been there I would highly recommend it. There is a fun amusement park in the middle of the mall.
Fallon is back to her swimming and has her first meet on November 8th. She is now in young womens and loves it. We are very proud of her.
Spencer is still working hard, but is now considered a senior resident. This makes it nice when he is on call. He gets to sleep more often!
I am doing great and love being a mom to a teenager and twin babies. Wow, life is busy but great! The best news is that my sister and her family moved here this summer. They only live a mile from my house! It has been so great having my family here.





Our family is growing!
