I have always said from the beginning that my boys were fraternal. There are lots of reasons I felt this way including my Dr. I ovulated twice(2 eggs dropped), they had 2 sacs and 2 placentas, and they measured several days apart in our first ultrasound. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
To me they are so different. In looks and personality. But, anytime we go out people ask or assume they are identical. To the point of people arguing with me when I say fraternal. Finally I decided to find out for sure. I wanted to be able to say without any reservation, Yes I am sure. </div>

I got some Christmas money and ordered a test online from a site a friend used with her twins.<br />

They send you some swabs. I collected 8 in total from each boy. They were not thrilled with the idea but I got it done. Then I shipped them off to wait for 2 weeks. </div>

I started reading the results to Matt : We are pleased to report to you the results of the twin zygosity test
that you requested. Analysis of the DNA indicates that Micah John
Marteney and Mason Russell Marteney are... as my eyes read ahead of what my mouth was saying it literally fell open.<br />
<br />
monozygotic, or more commonly referred to as IDENTICAL TWINS.<br />
<br />
I could not believe what I was reading. I know this sounds crazy like it shouldn't really matter, but I was shaken. Somehow everything I had thought was wrong. Of course nothing has really changed. They are still 2 very different (and very different looking to me) individuals. But now they are not just 2 siblings who happened to occupy my belly at the same time but TWINS! Yes I know they are twins either way. haha! But the same DNA. 1 egg split into 2 babies inside of me. Wow! So crazy. I started to wonder if somehow it would be different than I had thought when I look forward to what they might be like later in life. Will they start to look more alike? Will they have more of that "twin" connection somehow? Where they know how the other is feeling, or live together and work together, and have the same interests? Or will it be like I pictured with them looking less alike as they grow and having opposite interests but still having a connection because no matter what at some point they shared a space inside of me? No matter what that is pretty special. <br />
<br />
Madison's response was kind of funny. She was in the room when I was reading it to Matt. She said, "No, I thought they were normal. They are different Mom! Micah has a circle face and Mason has an oval face. " haha! To her she never had any idea that they could be the same as twins like most people think. I had to explain that they are still different.<br />
<br />
Overall it is just kind of surreal. I am going back through their newborn pictures looking at them kind of differently than before I guess. I can still tell them apart. Now I find myself looking more for the similarities than the differences though.<br />
<br />
I am a mom to identical twin boys. I love them and cannot wait to see what God has in store for each of them. <br />

An update!Holy cow! How has 8 months gone by without a post. I will tell you how...5M Creations. Yep it has kind of taken over my computer blogging time. I have of course taken thousands of photos of my kids since May but unfortunately I will never catch up here. So instead I will just start from now. Here are a few fun pics of my kids from the last couple of weeks.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is Goofy Mason. He is always making silly faces. He gives the best sweetest hugs and kisses. Although lately he uses them to get out of trouble. Stinker!<br />The boys are now 2yrs and 8 months. WOW! How did that happen. They are registered for preschool for next fall. EEK! I will have 3 in school. They are mostly potty trained. FINALLY! </div>

They are obsessed with anything Toy Story. It is a really good thing there are 3 movies. They got a collection of figurines for Christmas and they almost always have Buzz and Woody in hand. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love that they are so verbal now. The talk to each other all the time. I love listening to their conversations. Seriously LOVE! They are so funny. That is the other fun thing about them right now. They are hysterical and they know it. They know how to make you laugh with faces or funny sayings. When did they get so big. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This would be Micah doing his Buzz Lightyear to the RESCUE pose. He is so funny and he knows it. Madison will tell you he is the funny brother. </div>

Miss Madison is such the big kid now. She turned 5 in December and this girl cannot get enough schoolwork. She loves school, workbooks, and most of all her friends. It has been fun having a girly girl to do activities with. She loves to shop with me. This weekend we went with her 2 friends Sydney and Ella to see Beauty & the Beast in the theaters. They were giggling and chatting away. For a moment they were 16. I love this girl and cannot wait to see what God has planned for her. </div>

And the latest news in our house... we got a new puppy. The kids are having lots of fun with Lily. She is a King Charles Cavalier Spaniel and such a cutie. We have downsized a bit in the dog department. We have a black lab(actually we have her til Saturday). A family member is super exited to take her. And we feel so blessed that they are giving her a great home. She is just to big for the kids. So Lily is here. She should only be 15-25lbs at most. So little. </div>

Well there is my update. Maybe I will get back here sooner than 8 more months. If you want to see more regular updates you can find us on facebook. :) Thanks for coming by.Melissa (5M Creations)http://www.blogger.com/profile/09303433535603423258noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36507468.post-40146145088744411882011-05-25T20:35:00.000-07:002011-06-12T19:27:46.884-07:00Happy 2nd Birthday Boys!Yes it is true. Micah and Mason are 2! I have two 2 yr olds. WOW! This year has flown by. I look back at pictures of my still crawling 1 yr olds and wonder how they could have been so little not that long ago. They are now full on runners and most of the time in the opposite direction of each other when loose. They are so full of joy and keep me on my toes every day.<br />

Micah is the funny one in the family. He loves to make us laugh by making faces, or yelling no,no, no, no just because til someone reacts. We constantly laugh at him.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO3H8BTneCjWpGVcgzDa0R5C2KxY0R5VFAy8UP1xHJaa8gv3THod11yU6ebhYJbFl-Nbs-MD3OcIM2TUK2Vo6gSsCRXdEAgYNIZaBOyx2b3FDw0NrJt8sN0GKgNOzCXwQfzGM3/s1600/IMG_8401.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO3H8BTneCjWpGVcgzDa0R5C2KxY0R5VFAy8UP1xHJaa8gv3THod11yU6ebhYJbFl-Nbs-MD3OcIM2TUK2Vo6gSsCRXdEAgYNIZaBOyx2b3FDw0NrJt8sN0GKgNOzCXwQfzGM3/s320/IMG_8401.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
He loves....<br />
<ul><li>his sissy. If he is in trouble he goes straight to her for a hug! He gives great hugs!!! </li>
<li>to snuggle and sit on my lap. </li>
<li> his binkies. He is what we call the binky connoisseur. If I take one away he will find a new one and if he finds even yet another one he will always trade it out.</li>
<li>Fresh Beat Band. Every day all day long he asks for Beat Band Go-Go(his favorite song on Fresh Beat). It is the one time he is sitting and quiet. </li>
<li>to color. I was giving him crayons at the table but they were migrating to furniture and walls. We have switched to a magnadoodle since he wants to sit on the couch and color. Any time he finds a crayon or pencil though he is all about finding paper. </li>
<li>to bounce, bounce bounce. He will pick he feet up and just drop. </li>
<li>Chips and fruit snacks.</li>
<li>Outside!</li>
</ul>Micah is talking more and more every day. He still does not have as many words as Mason but I can understand what he wants most of the time. His favorite saying is Where go? with the cutest inflection. Then very excitedly "There is" or "Tada". He also makes adorable "ooh ooh ahh ahh" monkey sounds while scratching under his arms.<br />
My biggest challenge with Micah are climbing up to the counters to find anything and everything he is not supposed to have. Also taking things from Mason and running laughing saying hahahaha! Little stinker.<br />

Mason is also a little comic but mostly he is the curious leader of the two.<br />

He loves..<br />
<ul><li>climbing anything he can including in and out of his crib or into his brothers. Micah only tried once Mason did. </li>
<li> Dinosaurs and saying roar, trucks/cars, and choo choo trains. They actually both love trains since they got a train table last month from Nana and Poppi. </li>
<li>his binky. Although he is not quite as attached as Micah. </li>
<li>anything that has a function. Buckles, zippers, keys. locks, opening doors, etc. </li>
<li>fitting inside of anything he can. He tries to fit in Barbie cars, drawers, boxes. </li>
<li>Fresh Beat band, Mickey Mouse(foofy-Goofy), and Blue's Clues.</li>
<li>putting anything over his head but mostly Madison's clothes.</li>
<li>shoes. He wants shoes on all day long. He can get Madison's on by himself so you will see him wearing hers most days. </li>
<li>doing things himself. He does not want carried but to walk with a hand. </li>
<li>asking for hugs. </li>
<li>outside! </li>
</ul>He is talking LOTS. He copies most things we say to him. He says "let go" and "Bubba give it", or "back!" when upset. He is great about saying Please and Thank you. Mason has lots of full sentences all day long. My favorite thing he says right now is "Okay" when I ask him to do something. Also, "I get it" or "I find it". If you ask where anyone is it is "upstairs". This last week he said "seriously". So funny.<br />

They both are talking more words together like I got it, Love you Mom, etc. My cutest thing is when one of them coughs the other says You ok? And the answer yah! So sweet.<br />

The boys love each other. They give hugs, play well, and share things as long as there are 2. If they find 2 binkies they take one to brother. They fight too of course. :) Most of all they keep my busy and constantly guessing. They have challenged most of my parenting tools I thought worked so well. haha! Little did I know how different these 2 boys would be from their sister.<br />

They started climbing out of their cribs a few months ago. If I put Mason in a sleep sack he would not climb out and Micah wouldn't try if Mason didn't. Well that ended this week. They climb out sleep sacks and all even with Mason's crib backwards. I have a feeling we will be doing twin beds much sooner than I wanted.<br />

We are starting to potty train on Tuesday and binky(mimi) weaning will follow a month of so after. They are turning into little boys and not babies anymore.<br />

I have been blessed to have an amazing friend Dara for the past 17 years. When we first met Dara didn't really like me because I was younger and new. :) Little did we know that we would go through so many lifetime milestones, laughter, tears, fear, and joy. I have so many fun memories with Dara from Camp Crestview, late night sleep overs, a trip to Sunriver, to weddings, and now babies.<br />
I think our friendship has grown so much since our girls were born. Motherhood has a way of bringing people together. If someone had told us when we were 15 that we would have daughters who were best friends I think it would have fit perfectly into our little picture of what our lives would be. Preschool, ballet, dress up play dates, it could not be more perfect. Twins on the other hand, not so much. :) I think that may have freaked us out a bit. Dara has been such a huge blessing since I found out about the twins. She came all during my bed rest and through the first 6 months to fold my laundry, sweep my floors, hold babies, and pretty much anything I needed. She was a huge part of my survival during that time. She never hesitated to wear a baby while we were out running around attempting to get out of the house. She loves my kids so much and treats them as if they were her own. Crazy loud and all. Now we have 5 kids between us. haha! While it is not always easy to get in a phone conversation with 5 kids in the background somehow we manage to each day. We never run out of things to chat about.<br />
So all of that to say, I don't know what I would do without my bestie. Dara you are an amazing friend and I am so blessed to have you in my life. I cannot wait to celebrate with you today as you turn 30. Dara's husband Chris, her mom, and I have been planning a surprise birthday for the past few months. I am really hoping she doesn't have a clue. We should be there right as this is posting. I got the privilege of making the invites and centerpieces. We used photos of Dara through her life in them and figured I what a perfect way to celebrate Dara. Here is a look at her 30 years. I don't know the stories behind all of them but she was sure cute. Dara, I hope your day is full of fun and I hope your 30's are the best yet. Hugs from your LPNGP Masa!<br />

Finally a bog post. We have fought several weeks of colds (even pneumonia for madison). She missed 2 weeks of school and I have been working like crazy. January was my busiest month yet. So needless to say my personal blog got put on the back burner. To be honest I haven't even taken many pictures since Christmas.<br />
We took November-January off from gymnastics due to schedules and the weather. Matt mentioned signing her back up for February and when I talked with Madison she was quite convinced that she wanted to take ballet with her bestie. We talked a lot about it and did a trial class last week. She LOVED it. We signed her up, bought her costume for the spring recital, and got her ballet and tap shoes. She has been tapping all around the house all day long. I grew up dancing so this has really taken me back to some fun memories of costumes, recitals, and leotards. Here are a few photos from class.<br />

I want to cherish every moment of them in this coming year. I know "my" time will lessen as they grow. Even the rough moments of tears and fighting are mine and I am so thankful for even those. As I clean up their toys today I feel happy to have little ones to make the mess. Thank you Lord for allowing me to be a mommy to 3 amazing children. They are such an incredible gift. I don't feel some days like I am adequate to do the job but I know that you are. You chose me to do this job. I want to do it to the fullest that I can. My goal this year is to play more, laugh more, to give more hugs and kisses, and to be frustrated less.<br />
I have tears running down my face right now and felt inspired to write this as encouragement for others and a reminder for myself to look back. I have been touched today by a few stories of others who have had family tragedy. My heart is broken for them, overjoyed, and overwhelmed at the the thought that God gave each of my children to us as a precious gift. I never want to forget that or take it for granted. <br />
As you go into this coming year of 2011 purpose to find a way to love on your kids even more. I know I will.<br />

If you have had the pleasure in the past of reading my dad's Christmas letters you will definitely enjoy this one. If you are new to his humor you should read along as well. This year was a group effort and lots of fun. Here in the link for the Green/Marteney family Christmas letter.<br />

Just in case you love Christmas letters and were curious about past letters here is a glace back at our family over the past few years. The letter style is a bit different every time. Amazing all of the fun announcements and changes in the family pictures we have had. Love it!<br />

It has been a fun month already with lots more to do this week for Christmas. I love this time of year. I am not sure what Madison is going to think though when the month of presents ends. It has been non stop. I am going to have to have a major toy purge in January. :)Melissa (5M Creations)http://www.blogger.com/profile/09303433535603423258noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36507468.post-7716291940855539262010-12-11T13:26:00.000-08:002010-12-14T14:50:08.526-08:00Shutterfly ReviewI wanted to share with you about a great company. I LOVE <a href="http://www.shutterfly.com/">www.shutterfly.com</a>. They have so many great products from Christmas cards to gifts.<br />
We purchased our Christmas cards from them last year as well and I was so happy with the quality. I was originally planning on making my own cards this year but ran out of time. Thank goodness for Shutterfly. They are easy fast and have lots of fun holiday designs in their <a href="http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/holiday-cards%20%20%20">Holiday 2010 Christmas Cards</a>.<br />
<a href="http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/christmas-cards?lid=xmascards&lpos=cscat_marq"></a><br />
<br />
They also have some great<a href="http://www.shutterfly.com/photo-gifts"> photo gifts</a>. I love this mug filled with sweets. What a perfect gift for grandparents. <br />

</a><br />
My other favorite item by Shutterfly is their <a href="http://www.shutterfly.com/photo-books">photo books</a> and <a href="http://www.shutterfly.com/calendars/desk-calendars">photo calendars</a>. They are a great quick way to document a special event in your life. What an easy way for the busy mom like me who wants to have adorable scrapbooks but doesn't have them time. Or another great grandparent gift. <br />
<br />
The last item I came across was the <a href="http://www.shutterfly.com/home-decor/mounted-wall-art">mounted artwork</a>. I am in love with the striped baby print on their site. Such a cute addition to a nursery. An easy way to have a professional piece without the hassle of framing it.<br />

Hope you are having a great week. Thanksgiving, Madison's b-day party, and Christmas tree pics coming later this week.Melissa (5M Creations)http://www.blogger.com/profile/09303433535603423258noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36507468.post-40230886849239539072010-11-29T07:43:00.000-08:002010-11-29T07:48:58.549-08:0018 months & 4 yrs old!The boys turned 18months on the 8th. They are getting soo big so fast and lots more fun all the time. They are both adding words constantly. Mason has around 25words and Micah has around 10. Micah was 23lbs 10oz and 33inches and Mason was 24lbs 3oz and 33 1/2 inches. I am not convinced their heights were accurate as Mason is visibly taller than Micah now. They love balls, trucks, their sister, and the cat.<br />
They are both horribly picky eaters! If it is not a hot dog, chicken nuggets, cracker, cheese, or fruit forget it. Veggies or any other meat form need not apply. :) We are working on it. <br />
<br />

Micah is Mr. Independent playing on his own a lot of the time. He was more content making Uh-huh-huh noises than talking til the last 2 weeks. He is the ham of the group though. If you tell him no he looks away and then raises his eyebrows and peeks back at you to test your answer. He will just crack himself up over something with the cute fake laugh. He loves to get his brothers tummy and be tickled. <br />

Mason is the social one. He yells Bubba to wake Micah up most mornings, or calls Sissy if she is not around. He talks and chatters all day long and says hi to people walking by in the stroller. He is a bit more of an observer if they actually come up to him though. He is also a bit more needy of my attention than Micah which is opposite of how they were as babies. He loves hugs! I love watching their personalities grow and change. <br />

She is turning into such a fun little girl. She has just the right amount of sassiness. Although I am sure some days I may struggle with that same attitude. She loves all things girlie. Dress up and make up, Princess anything, Barbies, shopping, babies (real and dolls), her best friend Sydney, and her brothers. She is quite the social butterfly. She loves preschool and knew everyone's names in the first week. This month has been tough having so few school days. She is so excited to go back tomorrow. Little does she know Christmas break is coming. She is super excited for her Princess Birthday Party this weekend. The chance to be girlie and be with all her friends is the ultimate day for Madison. I think I am just as excited for her to experience all that I have planned though. I am looking forward to doing more "girl" things with Madison this year. It is nice that the babies are big enough for us to do that. One last thing about Madison- She is a DUCKS fan and will tell you! She tells Daddy that Beavers stink and wants to buy him a Duck shirt for Christmas. She is working with me on transforming him. :)<br />

Matt and I celebrated our 7th Anniversary, I made a trip to Vegas with my mom for her store, we went to an apple orchard, I threw one of my besties Nicole a baby shower, Madison had her first school field trip to the pumpkin patch, school pictures, my birthday, Halloween, 2 rounds of colds already, and lots of fun play time at home. Here are some pics from our month. I am going to break this up into 2 posts.<br />

Madison has been writing like crazy. She will spend hours with a pencil and note pad. She writes her name over and over. Her S was backwards then one day she did a whole page of just S and now it it correct. She loves to write and has me give her sheets with all of our family names to copy.<br />

I am not going to even give any excuses this time. :) Instead since I cannot stand missing an event and being out of chronological order I am going to post the last of our summer September fun even though it is October. <br />
<br />
The week before school started we made one last trip to the zoo with Tricia and her boys. Everyone in Portland had the same idea. We saw lots of the favorite animals but the best part of the day was getting to see a lion show right up close.<br />

So what did we do, plan a trip to the beach and to the zoo. It was a fun weekend.<br />
<br />
We started by stopping at Matt's parents house to test some wiring on the truck then headed over to Newport where we played at the beach for a while. It was a big windy but it was a blast. This was the boys first time getting to walk in the sand. They just took off. Madison was content to sit and dig the whole time. I did get her to put her feet in the water with me this time though. She is normally scared of the ocean. <br />

We had of course the obligatory HUGE corn dog, elephant ear, and snow cone. We saw lots of animals, watched a pig chase,and Madison even wanted to do rides this year. It was a fun evening. <br />

I am so behind on this blog as I have been working like crazy on my business lately as well as lots of showers for friends and family. We have been doing lots of fun things that I will have to update you on later. Or maybe just through facebook photos if I ever even get to that.<br />
<br />
For now here is a quick update. The boys were 15months on the 8th. They are both about 21lbs now and walking in opposite directions everywhere. They are becoming more and more fun all the time. Such characters! They are starting to really understand how to make you laugh.<br />
<br />
Micah LOVES peek a boo and will put his hands over his face all the time and just crack up laughing when you say boo. They both started saying boo this week. So cute!<br />
Mason will put his hands up in the air and run around making a ahhh(I think it is supposed to be a growl).<br />
<br />
They both say Mama, Nana, and Hi! (Micah as of yesterday kind of). Mason says All Done, Ball(yesterday), Bye, Daddy (and even bye daddy together), gentle(geda), Kitty, and Sissy(well as of yesterday).<br />
<br />
They are such boys. Constantly trying to figure out how things work and go together. They love to climb. Micah is the master of getting to standing in his high chair or hands and knees on top of his tray. And this is while buckled. Not sure how he gets out of it. It was around his ankles yesterday and grinning ear to ear standing proudly. Ugh!<br />
They are picky eaters unless it is McDonald's of course. Strawberries, bananas, and graham crackers are the only consistent thing they will eat. It is just hit and miss each day to see what it will be they will consume.<br />
They fight over toys all the time but are also starting to share if they find 2 of something. They will take the other over to their brother.<br />
As I am typing Mason is patting the cat saying gentle and Micah is pulling his tail. :) They are sooo much alike but different. Micah is much more likely to be down checking things out while Mason will as long as he can see me. He loves mommy! But I would say right now Mason is the crazy one when he is running around.<br />
The best thing of all is that they LOVE their big sister. Madison is one of their favorite people. She comes downstairs in the morning and they grin ear to ear and run over to her with arms up for a hug. I love it!<br />
It has been a fun summer and I cannot wait to do even more with them as they grow. It will be fun to have some time with just them when Madison goes to school in a few weeks. Although we will miss her terribly I am sure. <br />
Here are a few pictures I took the week they turned 15months.<br />

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">What are your tips and tricks for potty training?</span></b> <br />
<br />
I have not participated in the question of the week before but I thought I would give it a go. And such a perfect topic for me considering who my mom is. :) Those of you that know her know she has a system that has been used by many. And for those who don't know her check out her site <a href="http://www.mypreciouskid.com/">My Precious Kid.com</a> and <a href="http://www.mypreciouskid.com/articles/potty-training.html">this article</a>.<br />
This system is what we used with Madison and what I will do with the boys. Although I have to admit I am a bit nervous to train 2 at once. I remember a day when I had both Madison and Sydney(her BFF born 1 day before her) while they were both training and thought "I am glad I won't ever have to train twins". HA! Who would have guessed. :)<br />
<br />
So for the QOTW: <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"></span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><ul><li>What age did you begin with your child(ren)? <b style="color: #cc0000;">21months</b><span style="color: #cc0000;">- I really believe that pre 2 is a great time to train.</span> </li>
<li>How long did it take? <b style="color: #cc0000;">1 week for the hardest part then maybe a month to be really good and trained with hardly any accidents.</b></li>
<li>Did you use a "system", or just wing it? <b style="color: #cc0000;">We did a lot of pre stuff before. Read potty books, had a potty dolly to practice with, potty movies, and potty time each day just to practice sitting. Then we had a Potty Party Day 1 and all paper diapers were gone for good no looking back. We got prizes from the dollar section for successes. A new sippy cup to encourage lots of drinking that day and a timer to go every hour when it went off. Helped keep us on track. Several accidents the first day but she got it really fast. She did not like to feel of wet panties.</b></li>
<li>Did you use specific rewards for incentive? How did that work for you? <b style="color: #cc0000;">We had prizes from the dollar store for every success the first few days then just for poop successes after that. Those took a bit longer.</b></li>
<li>If you could change anything about the experience, what would you do differently? <b style="color: #cc0000;">Nothing!</b></li>
<li>Did you use Pull-Ups? <b style="color: #cc0000;">We only used Pull ups a few weeks in when she wasn't training at night. Not all kids GET night right away. You cannot really train that. We went to pull ups over panties so she would still feel the wet and wake but not have such a mess to clean every nap. After she had started holding it for a few weeks at a time at night around age 3 we got rid of them completely. We also used Pull Ups over panties only during long car rides in the beginning. I think that Pull Ups really extend the training time so we used them as little as possible. Cloth Cloth Cloth!</b></li>
<li>Do you think it's easier to potty train multiples at the same time, or separately? <b style="color: #cc0000;">I don't know. Ask me in February. I am planning on doing both together though. I don't really want to go through the process twice. </b></li>
