Can you tell I've been on a roll lately? Wyatt's cousin Blake spent the night for the first time last night and this morning they were outside playing cowboys. It was too cute! They are such great friends and are thrilled at every chance they get to play.

My neighbor came over and helped me do a little photo shoot a couple weeks ago, my timing was off as far as planning it around the babies schedule and this is literally the only good... well maybe I wouldn't go that far... the only decent shot we got! Oh well, at least I have one!

Photo Shoot

I have been determined to get some photos of the kids this fall and thought today was probably the last chance I would get. Plus they are having sleepovers tonight so I had something to bribe/threaten them with to get them to cooperate! (Parent of the year award... Right here.)

Save UVU girl with Leukemia.

Please help if you can.

Tonight on the local news in Salt Lake City, a story was aired about a beautiful young mongolian woman who is attending Utah Valley University here in utah and is fighting for her life in a battle with leukemia. To see the story they aired go to this link: http://www.ksl.com/?nid=148&sid=8505904

Her family has no insurance and cannot afford a bone marrow transplant for her. The hospital donated one round of chemo which has worked well and has kept her alive for now, but she will die for sure if she doesn't have the transplant. She is a smart hard working girl who wants to earn a masters degree in civil engineering, be married someday and have children.

Her family has set up a blog to help raise money for the surgery, (www.saveuvugirl.blogspot.com) they still need $300,000.00 They are asking for anyone who is willing to donate a maximum of $1. They feel like if word get's spread quickly that's achievable soon. I agree.

If you have a dollar to spare, they have made it very easy to donate $1 on their blog using paypal. You can pay with a credit card or your paypal account if you have one, and it is very quick, simple and secure.

Also, if you feel touched by her story as I have been, please forward this to whomever you are comfortable sending it to.

Again,the blog address that tells her story and that you can donate through is: www.saveuvugirl.blogspot.com

Thanks so much for your help!

This is her now:

Blessed Sleep

Ahhh,
I can't believe that at 3 months these girls are sleeping through the night! I don't want to jinx myself so I'll just say that they are still young and I expect to still have some nights of interrupted sleep, but for now, they are doing awesome. Like sleeping 11-12 hours at night straight through. Now if only I could get to bed on time!

Maddi and Wyatt never slept this good this early, although they were both pretty good sleepers early on. I swear it's only because the twins have each other, so they don't get lonely in bed as easily.

Just thought I'd share my bliss with you all!

PS- the day after I posted about "Midnight" the black widow... I murdered her. Lysol Kitchen cleaner did the trick.
