The 2 month check up!!!!!


We are the Fife twins, and we are 2 months old now. We can’t believe it has been 2 months since we were born, but here we are, healthy and ready for the world. We had our 2 month check up today, and went to see our cool doctor.


I am Connor David Fife. My first name, Connor, is my Grandma Teresa’s maiden name, and my middle name is after my AWESOME dad. I like to make lots of funny faces. My mom says I have a duck face that I make and that I get it from my dad. People say that I look like my Papa Craigory. Grandma Carma was the first to make that observation. I have blond hair, as of right now it appears I have beautiful blue eyes, and long black eyelashes. Mom says I started smiling when I was about 6 weeks old. Just little smiles though, but now I love to smile when I have a full tummy. I love to look at people, and at my surroundings. I also like to cuddle. I have a couple nicknames, they are…Con Man, Yoda, Thing 1, Baby A, Tri-Pod and Lefty. Lefty is a secret name that my doctor gave me today that only him and my parents know the meaning of. At my appointment today I got weighed and measured, and some shots. They hurt, I am not going to lie, and I cried, but I took it like a champ. I weigh 11 lbs 11 oz. I am 23 ¼ inches, and my head is 39 cm.




I am Skyler LaGrand Fife. My mom picked my first name because she has always liked the name, and LaGrand is my Great Grandpa. Around Thanksgiving time I started to smile a lot. Grandma Carma was the first to get big smiles out of me, and then Grandma Teresa got even more out of me over Thanksgiving. I love to be held a lot, but when I am not held, I have a stuffed elephant I like to cuddle with. Dad says I hold my head up well, and like to look around. I have brown hair, and I think blue eyes, and long eyelashes. Most people say that I look like my mom’s side of the family, and some say I look like my dad’s. Surprisingly, I don’t look much like my twin brother. To keep things simple, mom dresses me and blue, and gives me anything that is blue. She did this to help other people tell the difference between my brother and me. Why me you ask…. Easy, my name is Skyler, the sky is blue…thus, I get everything blue, Connor gets the leftovers. I have some nick names that people call me, they are… Sky Man, Sprite, Thing 2, and Baby B. We went to the doctor today, and mom was quite disappointed that I did not pee on the doctor like I did last time. I was a bit ornery for my check up, and the doctor said I was colicky. I also have a bit of trouble with my breathing so I have to go to an ENT later this month to get checked out. I weigh 12 lbs 4 oz, and am 22 ½ inches and my head is 40 cm.

Question???







So....  The books say that we can put the boys in the same crib until they become a risk to one another.  So does this mean it is time to put them in their own crib??  Ha Ha!!!

Here is the post finally!!!!





Well, we now have two awesome boys.  it is a life changing experience as may of you know. Connor and Skyler are doing great. Skyler does have a huge rash near his rectum. It hurts him quite a bit. We have gotten help from my parents and Cassie's mom.

When the boys pooped out it was like they were aliens. Little white things with no life and then they would start to breathe and start to talk in alien. It was scary. Connor was 6.5 Lbs. and 18 3/4 inches long. Skyler was 6.10 Lbs. and 19 inched long. They are both back up to there birth rate now.

Cassie is having a blast staying homw with them. I come home and she is so happy to see me.

My marathon did not go tp well. I did not run because I was not prepared for it. So right now I am running three miles a day just so I can get my legs under me and not have so many nagging injury's.

Work at Fastenal is going great. I enjoy the people I work with and the job is challenging. This was a great job to take and I am glad, so glad I left Wilson.

Well we also bought a new van and I should have taken a picture of it. It is a 2007 Ford Freestar with around 20,000 mile on it. We are mini van people now. I feel old.

Sorry the pictures will not post because the blogger is having technical difficulties.

When to expect

It is confirmed!!!  October 1st it is.  Though the doctor says I have a 50/50 chance of going before then.  But so far everything looks good!!!  Don't know if we are quite ready for this...  SCARY....

Cassie Looks Good!!!!




Well, today was my final ultrasound, and everything is looking good.  Both the boys are head down, which is a good thing.  They are both measuring right at 36 weeks, which is right on, I am also 36 weeks.... though my belly measures 39.

Right now I have a tentative induction date of October 1st.  I have 2 doctors appointments this week to find if it is still a go.  With twins all my ducks must be in a row, and the stars must be alligned.  So we will see if it will be Oct. 1st or if we will have to wait one more week.

The boys like to move a lot in my belly.  Sometimes I like to just sit and watch my belly roll over and over.  Both of thier feet are in the same spot, and they already like to kick eachother.  I wish I could video tape them so you could all see, but my belly is not the most attractive thing in the world right now.

Well, feel free to check back and see when we might be expecting our little boys.  Who know, they may have already come unexpectedly!

The Boys

Da Boys!!!!


Here are the boys!!! They are still doing great. The kids are moving around in Cassie like crazy. It's like they are jalapenos in a chicken or a peach in a Lima bean. It is crazy how they are moving. There heads are still down so Cassie still has a good chance of squirting the two kids out. I don't know if they will come out at the same time or if they will come out separately. I just know they are excited to see their Papa. If they come out at the same time that would be pretty cool. There is a first for everything. We are trying to get the house already for these two kids.
Oh yeah did I mention we are having twins!!!!!!!

I took a bath today and I thought to myself we are cool because we are having twins and no one
else has had twins yet in the whole entire world. Oh yeah I saw my mother-in-law today. She gave us some great stuff. Her name is Carma and if you ever need some Carma just ask her for  some. I had the day off today and did absolutely nothing. That is us men for ya!!!!!!!!!

Well have a great day and I would recommend to make some brownies and have them with ice cream tonight. Maybe use a Lil hot fudge. It is good!!!!!!!! They are like a TV on a stand. They just go together.

2007 Trails River Run Half Marathon




Well my father and I ran a half marathon and sad to say he did beat me. He did great and got 1st in his division. I got 7th in my division. It was a tough race with an ending hill that I had to walk for about 20 yards. My nipples after the race also hurt from the friction of my shirt. I started out the race slow because I have not been training and if I started out too fast I would have killed myself. I had a good pace and could have continued running. My father blew past me at the beginning leaving me in the dust. I think I last saw him at 2 miles.

My goal now is to run the St. George Marathon in 3 hours and 30 minutes. I will have to train hard this month, but I can do it. I think my father has the same goal and I think we can oth do it. He has the best chance because he has been training a little harder than me.

Oh yeah Cassie is doing great and we should have an updated pregnant picture of her on soon.

There are more pictures below, we did sweat a lot. It was very humid. It rained the whole drive to the race and poured on us as we went to the bus. We both did not know why we wanted to do this race, but when we crossed the finsh line we knew why? To look at the girl runners. Oh no wait it was to see my wife smiling and cheering me on at the finish line.

Who will finish first in the St. George Marathon? My dad or me? Let me know, give me some motivation.

New Pictures of the Sky-Man




This is the Sky-Man. He is looking good. He actually is looking like a model. Wow!!!! What a good looking kid.

He is making Cassie really big. Cassie is saying her family is not interested in the blog. I beg to differ. This is not a silly blog and Skyler says so. He says Mom this blog is cool and should be the only blog. There is a kind of clear picture of his face and arm. Take a look at it and see what you can make out. Not that kind of make out Erica.

Wow, this is a great day. Take a look at Connor below, he is a good looking kid also.
