So Trent is swimming today at my moms and I desperately need to go grocery shopping. Lately I've just been waiting for Justin to get home from work and then I go. It's late we end up eating out and the store is busy and a mess.
So with just the twins here today I felt adventurous....I went to Stater Bros. with just me and the twins. The funny thing is I barely went grocery shopping on my own with just Trent. I was always so afraid to venture out. Today i'm like "What was I thinking, oh the freedom I had."
So I fed both babies, changed them, pumped milk and off we went. Devan was asleep so he stayed in his car seat in the front of the cart and Tatum was awake so she got the baby backpack thing. I was only going to get a few things but they were so good, I did a full weeks worth of grocery shopping. Tatum fell asleep on me half way through shopping. I was so proud of myself. Amen!!
I've felt so trapped inside the house lately. I have taken the twins once to the mall but grocery shopping I thought would be too much. This is now just the beginning of many adventures.
Had to share.

Trains, Trains, and more Trains
So anyone who knows Trent knows he is a train fanatic. At least 5 times per week Justin takes Trent to the train tracks by our house and they walk alongside the track and wait for trains. Trent calls the train 'Diesel.'
When Justin and Brandon were kids, their mom would take them to this train park in Riverside where they could ride miniture trains for free. The cool thing is it is still there. Every other Sunday I believe you can take your kids and ride these miniture trains- they only except donations. The pictures are actually from a few months ago when I was still pregnant but I thought it was cool enough to share.
Justin's mom Deanne and stepdad Jim took Trent over the weekend on a train from Oceanside to San Diego and back. Trent of course loved it! By the way, we shaved Trent's hair off and now he looks like he is 7 years old. My baby boy!!!
Daddy, T, Uncle Brandon & Aunt Kristin ( I took pictures because no pregnant riders)

It's getting easier...
So I can finally say that I think it is starting to get a little easier over here at the Murray house. Justin and I are both getting to understand the babies' routines and are adjusting to our new life as parents of three kids.
I still have two more months of maternity leave which I will enjoy and miss when I go back to work. Now that is going to be hectic but luckily we have a great support system between my mom, Justin's mom Deanne and Justin's Grandma Judy.
Which brings me to my next comment. Justin had a great suggestion that I post a 'Thank you' tribute on my blog to my mom, Deanne, and Judy for all the help they give to us and have offered when I go back to work. I wanted to post some pictures of them with the babies but I don't seem to have one of them with the babies. I need to take more pictures!!
So for now I want to say a great big thanks to them for all the help they give us. We truly appreciate all the time they have offered us to help with our kids. An extra special thank you to my mom who has watched Trent for the past 3 1/2 years literally whenever I needed her to and already so much with the twins now as well. I truly do not know what we would do without her. So thank you mom!!!

Disneyland and Homemade Ice Cream
So the other night I decided to make ice cream- cookie dough. Turned out great and I had some helpers.
I have been trying to spend one day a week as "Mommy and Trent" day. Last week we went to lunch and Chuck e Cheese and this past week we went to Disneyland with my mom. I am so consumed with the babies T really needs this one on one attention. Thankfully between my mom, Justin's mom and grandma I am able to do this.
