Where does time go!?

I haven't been very good at keeping everyone informed on what's going on in our lives, so I thought I'd do a little update.

Starting with Duane and I: I bought Duane an xbox 360, so if he's not at work or playing with the babies he's on that. I bought him a new game about a week or so ago and he's already almost done with it! It's a lot of fun for him, and me too because I can get on there and play with him sometimes. But he cancelled our Internet and cable, so if his game isn't on it's my Mario or the babies movies. But I have figured out that my Cd's will play in the DVD player...because we don't have radio either. My parents' bought me a Nintendo with games Mario and Donkey Kong. I love those games!! So I've been playing that in my spare time. Also trying to figure out new ways to entertain the twins. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. I do Baby Einstein, the exersaucers, and of course just sitting and playing with them. The boys are at my parents' house right now, so Duane and I have been playing tennis, ping pong, checkers, and he even taught me how to play chess. I think we're going swimming and playing monopoly tonight when he gets off work. And tomorrow we are finally able to go to the temple. We haven't been able to go for a while. We haven't spent time like this together since the twins were born, so we're both pretty excited.

Now for the twins: They are growing up so fast!! They laugh and roll all the time. Tyler will get into little giggle fits. I love those. They've learned to steal each others toys lately and they try to bite each other. They poop up and out their diapers all the time...about 3 or 4 times each. So we go through a lot of poopy clothes. I've tried the bigger diapers, it doesn't help. And they laugh at me when I catch on to what they've just done, they also laugh at me if I try to get on to them. Silly little boogers!!! They are so funny and you can't help but laugh at all the things they do. They keep me very busy through the day. Can you believe they've learned to do all of these things already!!? I'm sure there's more I just can't think of at the moment. They were also finally blessed this past Sunday. I'll post pictures when I get a chance. I was so thrilled when Duane blessed them. Duane said he feels even closer to them now.

Baby Turner: Kicking up a storm. Boy can the boy kick! And he makes me pee all the time.

So that's the update on our family. I know it was a lot, but I haven't really posted much. Hope all is well with everyone.

It's a boy!

We found out today that we are going to be bringing little Turner Duane Britt into the world the end of December. I believe he'll fit right in with the twins. He's very active and kicks me all the time. Unusual for being so early, but he's a strong little boy. All is well with the pregnancy and everything looks good and healthy.

Trip to Arkansas

It has been a crazy two weeks. I came up to Arkansas for my sister's graduation. Then me and her went canoeing with friends. I learned how to sew and monogram. It's really not that hard. I didn't have much font to work with though. My mom bought me a baby pattern book with a gazillion patterns that I can start on. Earlier this week Duane and I went to the cabins for a romantic getaway for a few day, which was awesome because we were surrounded by nothing but wilderness and horses. It was the Bar 50 horse ranch in Bismarck. We also went hiking through the Hot Spring hot springs. Then we celebrated my brother's birthday and Duane and I took him to see Night at the Museum. We also all got sunburned spending the day at Magic Springs...a water park and theme park. Duane got it the worst! It's been so much fun, but we're going home tomorrow. Here are just a few pictures of the past couple of weeks.

My sister finally graduated!!!!!! Congradulations Katie!!!!!




These are some of the burp rags I made. I ended up making bibs and onsies, too.


Tyler wouldn't stop fussing, so while Hunter was hooked up doing a treatment we put Tyler on his back...on Hunter's vibrating vest. Needless to say, he hushed.

The boys first time in a bathtub! They kicked and went swimming. It was so funny to watch them.

My brothers had a soccer game and I guess the twins thought it was running too long. They fell asleep completely stretched out. It was cute.

This is the cabin we stayed in.



This is my brother Samuel on his horse. I couldn't go horse back riding because the doctor says my pregnancy is very sensitive right now, so Duane invited my mom and brother to go with him. I was jealous. :(

What's one more?

I have posted earlier on that I am pregnant, but I was in such a state of shock that all I could write was, "I'm pregnant. Oops." Everyone keeps asking me if i'm really pregnant. But yeah, it's true. Some how this baby has beat all kinds of prevention and has made it. I am only about 7 1/2 weeks pregnant, so I'm not very far along. I was talking to my sister-in-law Katie about it and told her that I honestly was freakinig out. I just can't bring myself to tell people, "Oh yeah...I'm so excited!!" But she made me feel better about feeling that way. I mean...come on!...I just wanted one. Now I'll have 3 ages 1 and under. Who wouldn't stress out about that?? I'm still trying to recover from the twins. I'm scared, but at the same time this baby is a blessing from God. He has to be, because he even stumped my doctor on how he got here. Oh yeah, I call the baby a "he" because I know it'll be another boy...or at least I hope it is. Thankfully, Duane is taking it much better than me, and I am so thankful for that. He tries to make the idea of it easier to handle every day. But if I can handle twins by myself, I should be able to handle three, right?

We went swimming for the first time this summer the other day! It was great to hang out with friends and jump in the pool. I just wish it'd been a little warmer. Tyler hated the water...Taylor would go waste deep and loved it...and Christian had a love/hate relationship with the water. It was pretty cold.
