The rest

Here are some pics from the rest of our fun trip to Utah! We came back from Colorado & went straight to my cousin Angie's wedding dinner. The next morning was the sealing at the Bountiful temple. I don't have any pictures of that but Angie was a GORGEOUS bride & she & Scott were both glowing with happiness! Here are N & A having oh-so-much fun at the reception (not). They were very tired & we didn't last long! Alexa is with Grandma Great Gines, Nathan with my mom.

Grandpa (my dad) unfortunately missed the wedding. He had a CT Scan the Monday before to check out some chest pains (which is has regularly) and a blood clot was found in his lungs. They admitted him right away & started him on blood thinners. Our family is so grateful for his current health & pretty much that he's still alive! Heavenly Father is definitely protecting this guy. And for good reason! We need him around!

Grandpa got out of the hospital on Saturday & we spent the rest of the weekend just havin a good time!
Our last night, we were able to attend my Grandpa's annual birthday... I mean... FAMILY dinner at El Matador (Utah Mexican) Restaurant. Fun was had by all, especially N & A who enjoyed their first ice cream sandwhich! They were in HEAVEN! Nathan & Alexa are so grateful to have so many grandparents & great grandparents. Happy Birthday Grandpa Great Gines! We love you!
We finally came home on Tuesday evening and were all so excited to see Daddy after almost 2 weeks! We were lucky enough to have Grandma come home with us for a few days! Nathan & Alexa (and me too) were sure sad to see her go Thursday!
Both Nathan & Alexa seemed to grow by leaps & bounds while we were gone. They are learning so many new things every day! What a fun age!

Today we got together with another set of twins! Caden & Addison are just a month younger than Nathan & Alexa and were born at Texas Women's also! I met their mom (Laurie) through an email list I got on while on bed rest in the hospital. There was another mom who was supposed to join us who also has boy/girl twins their age-- but she couldn't make it. What a picture that would have been!

Nathan McKay Oldroyd Born August 4th at 6:37 a.m., weighs 5 lbs. 8.5 oz, & is 20 in. long Alexa Dawn Oldroyd Born August 4th at 6:38 a.m., weighs 4 lbs. 5.5 oz, & is 1 6.75 in. long We are so excited that they are finally here! The C-Section went very well & Alisha is recovering well, with the help of pain meds! Nathan needs quite a bit of help with breathing but is improving. We’re told that he may get his ventilator tube out today & they would help him breathe using a C-pap. He breathes ok on his own so he mostly now just needs some pressure to remind him to breathe. He is still in the highest level of the NICU but is doing well. He’ll be in there for at least a few days after we get to go home. Alexa is tiny but doing extremely well. Alisha was able to hold her while still in the OR before she needed some oxygen help. She only had to stay on the oxygen until 11 a.m. and is still in the lower level NICU. She should get to move to the normal nursery tomorrow m...
