Happy Thanksgiving

We wish you a very happy, fun, and safe Thanksgiving! We are so grateful this year for the arrival of our three beautiful girls! What a blessing it is to be part of an eternal family! We hope that you are cherishing your own family today! I wish I could list all the other things that I am grateful for this year (there are lots), but all I continue to think about is my family!

Happy Turkey day!

1 year stats!

Camden and Emma went to the doctor this morning! It was so crazy! You should see how they destroy the paper on the exam tables- it is very impressive! Its all fun and games until they get their shots! Then we all cry together all the way home! I just wanted to record their stats so that I don't forget some day!

Camden Finlinson
Weight: 22 pounds 4 oz.
Height: 30 1/2 inches tall

Emma Finlinson
Weight: 22 pounds (we think, she hated the scale today)
Height: 29 1/2 inches

I am happy to report that neither one of them is over weight, despite how chubby they look! They are pretty solid girls!

Happy 1st Birthday- Camden & Emma

Emma right after delivery!
Camden right after delivery!

They came into this world so tiny...and now they are not so tiny! I am just amazed at how much they have changed in one year!!





Getting a picture of the twins together is nearly impossible! We took pictures for an hour and this is all I could get of them together, and individually! Oh well! They are still so cute!

So the girls celebrated their first birthday on Wednesday! It was so much fun! The day started off with Grandma Pam coming over to give them a birthday hug and a few gifts, which included more toy cell phones, and a fun box of blocks. After that Aunt Melanie came over to take them shopping...Melanie has decided that she will take them shopping every year for their birthday! Which is so cute of Mel...but I wonder how many years it will last! She bought them so many toys, including a very loud drum set! Thanks Mel! We ended the day with a family dinner, and a movie. Aunt Jami (Rob's amazing sis) made this incredible movie out of the pictures from our blog over the last year! It makes me cry every time I watch it! So sweet- thanks Jami! We are so blessed! Happy birthday Camden and Emma! I can't believe how fast this year went!

Halloween 2008

Sophie didn't want us taking her picture!
Camden was definitely the Queen Bee for Halloween!
Sophie's Daisy costume was to big for her little body! So she wore her new little pumpkin outfit!

Camden was a little nervous trick or treating, until she saw the candy in her bag!

Emma was a feisty lady bug! Melanie was flying her around my parents neighborhood!

Are they not the cutest little bugs you have ever seen?!









Last year we did not have any children to dress up for Halloween...this year we had three! Isn't that crazy! Rob and I just keep saying that to each other, so that we can face our new reality! I have to admit Halloween lost its effect on me years ago when my Mom told me that I was too old to go trick or treating. I have a new found love for Halloween now that I can take my own little monsters trick or treating!


( I will probably post more pictures from Melanie's camera! They were just too cute not to share!)

Our Story...

Rob and I met in November of 2002 in the financial services office at BYU. After a very akward introduction, which involved me introducing myself in the third person, Rob called and asked me out. After a pretty amazing first date (its a long story-some other time), I confidently told Rob "that once he dated me he would never want to date anyone else." I really had no idea at that point that it was going to work out so well. We dated for the next five months and then one beautiful night on a bridge at Sundance resort, Rob and I got engaged. We were married four months later on August 16, 2003 in the Las Vegas, NV temple. And we have been living happily ever after since...
