Soooooo behind!!!

So I haven't posted on our blog for a very long time! In fact...I have gone through two hair colors since my last post!!! Now that's pretty bad!!



I find myself looking at the pictures I haven't posted and thinking "Man, I am sooo behind!" Then I look at my house and think, "Man, I am SOOO behind!" Then I realize that Christmas is next week and I think, "Oh my heck!!!! I am SOOO BEHIND!!" Life just seems to keep going no matter how much I get done or in most cases don't get done!



One thing I can now check off my list is posting on our blog! YAY!


Here is the latest news in the Tim Denney (there are lots of Denney's) household.


Tim is still on the same job that was supposed to be completed in May. He is definitely ready to get started on something new. Tim has also just recently completed all of his scout leadership training. Whoohoo Tim!!



I (Anna) have been sewing like CRAZY!!! I have probably spent more time at a sewing machine this last month than I have spent sleeping! Lately I have stayed up until 2 am just to get some more sewing done! I made a quilt from start to finish for our stake humanitarian project and that took a long time!! It was definitely a learning process. I am also making three quilts for the kids for Christmas (this is what I am thinking of when I say I'm behind on Christmas). I am also committing to start posting on my cooking blog. I have been taking pictures and writing down recipes for over a year now and have a lot of recipes to post!! Hopefully I will be able to keep it up.



Abram is starting to say more words now that I actually understand so that is a good thing. He had a hearing test a couple weeks ago and is doing just fine. So he went to the speech therapist and nothing is wrong and he went to the audiologist and nothing is wrong. I guess that means that just have one stubborn kid. The other day I was looking at Abram's legs and thought "Wow, his legs are so skinny!" Now you are probably wondering why I mention this. The reason is because he doesn't have chunky baby legs anymore. My little baby boy is really no longer a baby boy [sniffle, sniffle]. Now he is turning into a big boy. He has gone to the bathroom on the toilet a few times and I could probably potty train him now, but I have had much luck when it comes to me being consistent. So we will see what happens.



Mollie is my smiley girl...as long as she is being held. She likes to talk and she has gotten pretty good at putting her pacifier in her mouth. She hates being on her stomach and still spits up a lot (I wonder when that will go away). Mollie has been trying really hard to get into a sitting position when she is laying down so I figure she will have rock hard abs soon. : ) She has yet to start rolling over. Really Mollie just loves to cuddle and lay her head on your chest and for now I am definitely okay with that.


Mariah is very talkative. Its kind of funny because sometimes she yells at me when I'm getting on her nerves. I think its pretty cute but I'm sure I won't think that forever. Mariah is more sensitive that Mollie and she gets her feelings hurt pretty easily. Mariah has started rolling over now and and think she will be crawling pretty soon. She is always on her stomach. I have noticed that Mariah has flirty eyes and she knows how to use 'em!! : )


Well, that is probably enough for now so here are some pictures.

This is the birthday cake that I made for Abram this year.

First Grocery Store Adventure

When I was pregnant I would walk to the store with Abram quite a bit, but since the girls were born I haven't been at all. That is until last week. I decided to go to the store because we didn't have any milk and hadn't had any for a couple days so we went on our adventure. Of course it took forever to get everybody ready and happy enough to last for at least an hour and then when I got outside the tire on the stroller was flat!!! I could have just given up but we NEEDED milk and I had already put Abram and Mariah in the stroller and Mollie was in my carrier so WE WERE GOING!! So... we went with a flat tire. Of course when we got to the grocery store I needed a few more things and when I got to the checkout stand I had to stuff groceries in all sorts of places. The cashier didn't think it would work, but it did. You know why? Its because I'm Super Mom! j/k. But I decided to document with a few pictures. So, here they are.

Abram was eating a donut.

Mariah was VERY angry and wanted to be held and fed.

Somehow Mollie found some food to spit-up all over me even though she hadn't eat in a couple hours.

This is Mollie in her bundle.

Me...after a long, hot walk with three babies and a cashier that had little faith in my abilities.

Abram and Mariah in their stroller.

Abram's Dance

Abram loves to dance so I decided to get a video of him. This is pretty funny.

So I have done a terrible job of keeping you posted. The babies are here and have been for a little over a month!!! Time flies by quickly! They were born on July 19th via c-section at 4:45 and 4:47 am. Mariah Diane was first and weighed in at 6 lb 5 oz. Mollie Elizabeth was second and weighed in at 6 lb. 1 oz. I am VERY glad they weren't born too much later than they were because I can't imagine carrying any more baby weight than I already was!!! Good news is that I lost 28 pounds when they were born!!! Woohoo!! My water broke at 1:55 am on the 19th so I went into the hospital and everything went super quickly from there. I actually went started feeling contractions as soon as my water broke which is a change from when I was pregnant with Abram so I guess it takes two babies before my body will start doing what its supposed to. The contractions were 2 minutes apart so I imagine if I would have been allowed I would have gone pretty quickly without the c-section. But I am thankful to have had a c-section because the thought of pushing is too scary! : )

Well...here are some pictures of the babies for the last month. Hopefully I can do all of them on one post. I've never tried to put so many on before. Enjoy!

This is the longest post in the history of posts so be patient you will get to the end soon. : )

New Ultrasound Pictures

Well...I am finally putting the latest ultrasound pictures on here. It has been a long couple of weeks. I was having some breathing problems for a while there and had to be monitored for a few hours and tomorrow I have an appointment with a cardiologist just to make sure my heart is working the way it is supposed to. I think that the babies are just causing these problems, but just in case it is good to get tested. : ) So I wil keep you all posted.

I decided to change the due date on my side bar count down because I was getting frustrated with trying to figure out when I was really going to be having these babies vs. their actual due date. So I am actually on 30 weeks along, but I will be having a c-section on July 3rd if not earlier (depending on what happens in the next 7 1/2 weeks).

The side profile is twin a. The other two pictures are twin b. I think its cute how you can kind of see her chubby cheeks...just like Abram. : )

Easter Package

Here are the Easter pictures I have been promising for a week. I have to take a picture of Abram in his "big boy" pajamas still, but I figured I would post these for the benefit of the grandparents. : )

Here he is taking everything out of the box.

He wants us to open his marshmallow bunny. By the way, he still hasn't eaten it.

Abram is saying please so we will give him an m&m.

And now the fruit of his labors. Those labors being that he said/signed "please". A delicious green m&m! YUMMY!

After he opened the package and he had all the candy we would let him have (he could have eaten it all I'm sure) he decided it would be fun to jump on the bed. He doesn't have very good balance so he always fell after on jump. It was fun until he fell off the bed. He kind of did a flip off the bed and bit his tongue. : ( He was okay though and still wanted to jump, but his paranoid mommy decided that it was time for him to do something a little less dangerous.

Last but not least is another belly picture. I look very happy in this picture except for where I look really UN-happy, but I was neither happy or unhappy... I was exhausted. Tim was on the couch so it is a weird angle, but I still look pretty big.

Cute, but sad.

So, it was as cute as it was sad...Anna was in a cleaning mode and vacuuming the room Abram and I were in. Abram is deathly afraid of the vacuum (even though he went down the slide at the playground all by himself after only once going down with me). So, he retreated to underneath the computer desk (where I was at) and sat staring at the vacuum. Cute, but sad.
