I know, I know. It's been a while since my last post... ya okay, it's been a long while. But I'm back.
The past four weeks have been great.
The second week in May my parents flew out to Virginia to visit us. They were here for a full week and Lilly loved every minute of it. Her favorite thing to do was take long walks with her grandma around our apartment complex making stops at the tennis court, the swimming pool, the club house (affectionately known as the diner), and the mailbox. And she always got really excited when her grandpa would wrestle with her on the living room floor.
At the end of the week, me and Lilly flew back to Idaho with my parents, leaving Gus behind to live the lonely life of a bachelor. It was a long trip and I was so happy to have my parents on the plane with me to entertain Lilly.
Lilly loves Idaho. I mean she really just loved being there.
Then again, what little kid wouldn't love feeding goats every morning with here grandpa, watching the chickens run around, jumping with the cats on the trampoline, running all around the open backyard, visiting Grandma "Arden" (Arnold) and raiding her candy basket every morning, playing the piano and singing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" as loud as possible, reading books with her sweet "great-gran", giving endless hugs to James and Brayden, making messes around the house with her cousins, and going shopping with her grandma? She was in heaven. It was such a fun two weeks in Idaho!
It was hard to leave, but we had to head down to Utah to meet up with dad'n. After being alone for two weeks, Gus was finally able to fly back and be with us. We stayed at his parent's house for a few days and had a lot of fun with Cristy and her kids that were also there visiting. Lilly's favorite thing to do was to swing on Gramma Henshaw's swings and run around in the backyard with Grandpa Henshaw. Another highlight was making cupcakes with grandma, and then going to Home Depot to make a craft at the Kids Workshop. Our stay in Utah went by quick, and Susan was a wonderful host as always.
Lilly was surprisingly decent on the plane ride back to DC. Gus couldn't have been happier and says that was the best present for his 30th birthday.
Oh ya, and before I forget...
The reason my parents came to Virginia for a week and I flew home with them for two weeks, and then went to Utah for one week is because I'm pregnant... WITH TWINS! And I'm SUPER sick!
Yep, this go-round has been pretty miserable and I spent the last four weeks either on a couch or a La-Z-Boy trying to relax and keep whatever I can down. I'll be 14 weeks along this Friday and I'm holding on to hope that things will get a little better in my second trimester.
So, while you enjoy the pictures that follow I'm going to run to the bathroom - because here it comes again...

Woo hoo! So excited for you guys and for Lilly to have two little siblings. I'd love to hear the story of how you found out about the twins and how the pregnancy progresses :)
I sure miss you two girls! It was so fun to get to know little Lilly better! She is definitely a mover and a shaker!I miss her sharing her gum with all of us and her sweet impulsive hugs! I think the cats miss her too?! We find signs of Lilly, still, all over the house! I finally removed the stickers from off the cabinets, and I think the recovery effort of all the forgotten items left here is at an end! I will send them to you soon.Hang in there Jen, we love you!
Congratulations! I was seriously thinking that you had to be pregnant and every time I thought of calling you it was too late in D.C. I am so excited and so sad for you. I hope your second trimester goes much better.
P.S. Lilly is so cute. I can't believe how long her hair is.
Congrats Gus and Jenny! Twins - wow! Hope you are feeling better soon! And Happy 30th b-day Gus!!!
I KNEW IT! I've been checking every so offten waiting and hoping that everything was alright then it hit me . . . I bet she's pregnant!:) Congrats that is SO exciting! I hope you start feeling better! GOOD LUCK LOVE YA!
Congratulations! I am so excited for you. Hope you get feeling better!
WOW!! Jenny!! TWINS! How awesome! I feel bad that you are sick but that is such exciting news!! Congrats!!
What?!??!
You sure kept that a secret for a long time, I had no idea.
Well, we all know that morning sickness isn't real and it is just in your head. I just hope you have enjoyed all your attention, you seem so needy.
By the way, I totally feel for you and pray for you all the time. You are a strong, great woman and I'm proud of you. Seriously, you have gone through so many weeks already.
Congrats! Sometimes I wonder if in Heaven, Taylor and Lilly were tied at the hip. I just laugh because Taylor does some of the same, cute things Lilly does. Like sing Twinkle Twinkle...with the music stand in front of them. Taylor LOVES to go out during Sacrament meeting and find a room with a music stand and piano and trade off singing and playing. HILARIOUS!
It was good to see you!! I'm sorry I couldn't make it back up to Rexburg. I had good intentions to do so and bring you a care package but the time didn't allow for it! I hope you get feeling better.
Jenny! I had no clue, im so excited for yoU! So sad that you are sick, I really hope you start to feel better. Yeah for your cute family!
Congrats on being pregnant with twins. I hope you start to feel better soon.
I feel your pain with being sick. I just hit 6 months on this pregnancy and many of my mornings STILL start with the race to the bathroom. After that start of the day I have a new best friend called Zofran. It disolves on your tongue and works to settle the stomach really fast. I didn't discover it until the worst of the sickness was gone. Just something for you to think of if you don't start feeling better soon. But Congrats! Jamie
