American Idol

I don't know about anyone else, but I love watching American Idol! I thought that there were some interesting people that showed up in the S. Lake auditions. But, I think they found some good talent also. I'm not a fan of Rose (she was the very odd girl that they showed at the end). I didn't think that she sang very well. I like the Polynesian girl that was from Hurricane though. Anyway, I was curious about the new judge, Kara and I learned that she is a pretty sought after songwriter and producer. She wrote the song "Lost" by Faith Hill. I have it on my playlist right now, it is at the bottom of the list so you have to scroll down. I'm curious what past Idols are favorites. My top three are Chris Daughtry, Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson.

Am I going crazy?

So I guess twins share everything, right? I guess that's what I was thinking when I accidentally started dressing Chase in Kourtney's clothes! Doesn't he look pretty? The funny thing about it is that I was wondering if it would be too small for her. So when I was putting it on him I was thinking that it fit really well (thinking that I was putting it on her!) That's when I realized that it wasn't her. "Yes, my binky is blue!" We bought this binky for Chase, but he never used it so Kourtney took it over and now it is her favorite one. Oh well, I guess if baby boys can wear frilly shirts then baby girls can have blue binkys!

Ice Fishing

Dustin took Chance ice fishing last weekend. It was only -5 degrees! But, despite the cold and only catching one perch, they had a great time!

We had a family Christmas party this week. Here are a few pictures:

Teething Twins

What's worse than a baby that is teething? 2 babies that are teething! Sometimes Dustin will ask me in the morning how many times I was up with the babies. I can honestly say that most of the time I don't rememeber! But last night I tried to remember how things played out and so here it goes. I also want to add that our computer is on the blitz, so I am trying to update this before our computer is out for a couple of days. So, consequently Dustin and I were up late last night trying to save all of our stuff onto flash drives and CDs.

8:30 p.m. Both babies in bed asleep.
11:30 p.m. Dustin and I go to bed (later than we wanted to)
12:00 a.m. Chase cries out, and I think that he will go back to sleep.
12:05 a.m. Nope, he's awake. I get him before he wakes up Kourtney. He doesn't want a bottle he just wants to be comforted.
12:45 a.m. Put Chase back in bed.
1:30 a.m. He's up again! It must be his teeth, right? Maybe, but I give him a bottle as well.
2:00 a.m. Chase is back in bed and so am I. I swear no sooner did I climb in bed when I heard the rumbling. Which only means one thing.. a train is coming by!
It comes and goes and I hold my breath hoping that it doesn't wake Chase. It doesn't wake him thank goodness, but it did wake Kourtney! There is no way she will put herself back to sleep, and she is way loud when she cries. So, I go in to comfort her for a few minutes.
2:45 a.m. I usually fall asleep on the rocking chair, so I get back to bed 45 min. later than when I went in there.
3:00 a.m. Chase is up again! This time I know he can't want a bottle. So I give up and lay on the couch with him.
5:00 a.m. I hear Dustin getting into the shower. I go put Chase in bed, crawl into my bed and don't remember a thing from there (except for a strange dream I had).
7:30 a.m. Time to get up and get the kids ready for school.

Not too bad huh? All I can say is I get the best sleep after 5 a.m.
