My good friend Stephanie and I had a birthday party to go to. She picked me up and we all loaded up in her van. Brock was so nice and quiet, I decided to turn around and see what he was doing (since he's not quiet very often). The sight was just so sweet, I had to take some pictures! Him and Audrey were holding hands! And the sweetest thing was that if they let go, they would immediately try to re-grasp the other's hand. Aww, so sweet :)

It's Twins!
There's two to wash, two to dry;
There's two who argue, two who cry....
There's two to kiss, two to hug;
And best of all, there's two to love!
My sister's best friend and her husband tried for a long time to get pregnant with no luck. They decided to give Invitro Fertilization a try. She was implanted with 2 fertilized embryos, and, they BOTH TOOK!!!!!!! We were all so excited about the news and the planning started immediately for all the cute stuff we could get for the twins. And, it wasn't long before we found out that it was a boy and a girl :) Can't get better than that. Britanya (mama) made it to 33 1/2 weeks before she was diagnosed with preeclampsia, so she was admitted to the hospital where the kept the babies in a couple more days. But, to be safe, they needed to get them out. Her precious babies were born a little over 6 weeks early. Erika and I went to visit, and this is what we got.....
To hold them!!! They were doing SO great. Breathing on their own and everything. The only hard thing for them was eating. They both got too tired to eat their whole feedings. But, they were quick learners and didn't have to stay in the NICU very long at all. Within about a week and a half or so, they got to go home :) Erika and I were both so blessed that we got to be the first visitors to hold sweet little Kylan!

And this sweetie here is Jase. He was enjoying a little kangaroo cuddle with his mama.
So sweet :)
Did I mention TINY?!?! Both of them were less than 5 pounds at birth. So little!!! And so sweet!

Gardening!
Because of the rain, gardens all around Oregon got started late. Mine included. But, I'm just happy that I got it started! Hans came over and him, Nigel and Caden worked so hard to get the grass out and the raised beds in! Brock REALLY wanted to help, but he mostly just wandered around watching. This all happened in the pouring down rain, you should know. I have yet to take any pictures of the after, but I will. I have all kinds of things growing and it's a beautiful garden! Stay tuned to see what's growing here at Schnackenberg Family Farm! Thanks Nigel, Hans and Caden for all of your hard work :)
