Walking!

My two little guys surprised me this month with walking! Now they are both VERY mobile!!! Bronson started officially walking on Aug 6th (just barely 11 months old), and Brevan started walking on Aug 13th (just a week after he turned 11 months). Its so exciting to see my little guys grow. It goes so fast. I can't believe that just under a year ago, they were new to the world. What a wonderful thing it is to be a mom!

starting our family

We found out I was pregnant the first week of January, 2008. Just 4 weeks later I was having complications, so we went to go have an ultrasound...and there THEY were, TWINS!!!! Everything was fine with me and with them. Being pregnant with twins is an incredible experience. I already loved these two little people, and I hadn't even met them. In April we found out that these two little bundles were BOYS! (Stems on both apples...way to go Alex!!) Despite being huge and uncomfortable, I was so very blessed and was able to go to 39 weeks with these two!
On September 4, 2008, Alex and I welcomed Bronson Garrett Aley and Brevan Michael Aley into the world, and our hearts!!!! Bronson was born at 7:49 am weighing 7 lbs 9 oz and 19 inches long. Brevan came at 7:50 am weighing 6 lbs 14 oz and 18 inches long. Both healthy and happy!!! I could NEVER express in words how much I love these two little guys! I LOVE being a mom, and enjoy every minute if it! Alex is such a great daddy, and helps me out so much!

How it all began!

Alex and I met while I was going to school in Hawaii...well, kind of. Alex's sister and I were great friends at BYU Hawaii. Alex lived in Washington at the time. She gave me his email address so that I could get to know him. We wrote each other for over a month, and then I flew home for my little brother's wedding, and so Alex flew me out to meet him in washington for a few days. And we fell in love!!! I decided that I would stay in Utah instead of going back to Hawaii, and he decided to move to Utah. A month later he moved out here, and just 3 short weeks later we were engaged! We were married 4 months later on January 18, 2006 in the Mt Timpanogos temple. I am so blessed to have married my best friend, and the love of my life!

July

We had a VERY busy July! Brevan and Bronson took their first vacation, over the 4th, when we went to Washington to visit Grandma and Grandpa Aley, as well as Aunt Net, Aunt Amanda and Uncle Adam! We had such a FUN time!!!

I am going to give blogging a go! Everyone's doing it, so why not! Let's see how fast I catch on...
