Here I go....

Here I go with my first blog. If I were famous, there would be a famous quote ***here.

I am the accidental-on-purpose mother of boy/girl twins (who are 1 1/2 years old), an accidental-on-purpose banker, and a used to be team roper.  No one PLANS on having twins, just the one.  I accidentally had twins.  I also didn't plan on becoming a bank president.  It was an accident.  I also didn't plan on becoming a has-been cowgirl; that came along with having twins. Also an accident.

I have a 5 year old girl on purpose. I also have a husband on purpose.

The twins have truly been a blessing from God.  For someone who never wanted kids before I turned 30, only to realize then that I wanted a complete family, it was quite the proof of God's sense of humor. 
The coolest part about having twins is it exempts you from all the rules.  They share bottles (yeah yeah yeah, I will try to get them off bottles before they are 2), use the same spoon, they sleep whereever we can get them to.  But it also creates its own set of rules.  Such as, you gotta get them on the same routine so you don't lose your mind.  For the most part, this is easy enough.  There have been lots of sleepless nights, lots of trial and error, but twice the hugs and laughs.

For some reason, ever sense we had 3 kids, I have been unable to spend time roping and riding horses like I used to.  I used to be one of those people who made fun of those who abandoned the sport for the sake of children or jobs, you know, trivial things. Now  my time with horses revolves around play days for my 5 year old, hours of leading horses on foot, and stick horses.  We do somehow manage to have three rocking horses all crammed into our living room.  It was a good day when my son could get on by himself!

Even from before they were even born, they have been quite the testimony to trusting in faith, power of prayer, and the reward of forgiveness.
