Caught in the Act--Brayden

He Can Fly!!!

Ready to go to sleep--smiley boy!

To be a successful mother of sons you must: (and by you I mean me)

• Quit ogling (and sometimes buying for the future) tea sets, doll houses, and pink clothes every time you shop.
• Learn to play with action figures. This means you have to think like a boy. Captain Jack and Will Turner want to FIGHT. They do NOT want to garden, have a tea party, or be nice Daddies who do the dishes. They want to dismember each other.
• Quit hating sports. You have very athletic children and years of spectating before you. Just accept that your Saturday mornings will never ever be free ever again and invest in a good lawn chair and cooler.Accept that your boys will come inside from playing completely filthy and smelling of wet dog. And furthermore, they will NOT stop digging in the dirt and will NEVER wipe their feet adequately before entering the house.
• Potty words are here to stay. Just like the bodily functions they represent, they will never cease being a large part of your life.
• Instead of being offended at being brutally stabbed, shot, and/or impaled in all pretend battles, be flattered that you were worthy enough to be chosen as an adversary.
• Keep lots of Febreze Air Effects, Lysol Wipes, Hand Sanitizer, and snacks (for bribery and personal fortification) on-hand at all times.
• Check the toilet seat before sitting down

Joe got Braces and 1st Father's Day, Kyle and Rachel are in town, July 4th...etc.

Beware lots of new pictures!!!

Kyle and his family suprised us by coming into town on Saturday the 20th--he stayed until the 27th and Rachel, Jonah and Audrey are here for a few more weeks! It is so fun having them here...we miss them now that they live up in Washington!

Our little family on Father's Day--Joseph's 1st! Notice he got braces as well!!
All our Daddie's kids minus Caitlin on Father's Day at our house!

Joseph got car antlers from Kyle and Rachel for his bday! Yes they really sell these places in Washington and we drove with them on my car the rest of the day!

Audrey and Walker sitting in the boys' bumbos! My boys absolutely love them and Audrey thought it was very fun! Her little thighs would get stuck everytime she tried to stand up though!

Brooklyn singing I am a Child of God to the boys--it made them smile!

Audrey playing with our puppy Hurley

Walker is my little thumb sucker--if he wakes up and is able to find his thumb sometimes he'll sleep another hour!

The boys first fourth of July--at our ward pancake breakfast we walked over since it only takes about five minutes--the boys were wonderful and I didn't even have to feed them until we got home!

Sleeping Brayden on Mom

Christina is home from her mission! She was one of my best friends before we got married and suprised us by coming to our pancake breakfast! It was so fun to see her and for her to get to see the boys!

Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th!!

Some Pics to add to the last post!

Making my Blog Boy Worthy!

So I decided that I needed to make my blog a little more boyish considering that I am now out numbered in our family 3 to 1! Things have been going super well for our little family these past few weeks! The boys are growing and healthy Walker is now 8lbs 8.5oz and Brayden is 9lbs 2.5oz! It is hard to imagine that they are the same tiny babies we brought home from the hospital! They are now 13 weeks old and are thrilling us with smiles and giggles, rolling over, and sitting up in their bumbo!

Joseph turned 25 on the 15th and we had a combined bday party for him and Cole on Sunday night at my parents! Joe got a keyboard for his bday(a portable grand piano) and it's really nice! It's been fun to start taking the boys out more and have them around different people! I never got a chance to post that Joseph got a new position at VSP as well! He is now working for Altair where he sells the actual frames to doctors office and is really enjoying being there! We are so blessed that he is able to work and provide for our family so I can stay home with the boys!

I am just loving being a mom and having a wonderful time everyday! I will put on some pictures later but for now i have two boys who want their momma!

11 weeks old today!

Brayden ManAnd one very happy mommie with both my boys!

My boys are 7 weeks already!

Goodness have we ever been busy! The boys are getting bigger and cuter everyday though! They are finally weighing 6 pounds and to us look so big! But are definetely still quite small! I am loving being a mom and they are just the sweetest babies anyone could ever ask for! We are starting to get better at telling them apart and they are starting to develop little personalities! They are also starting to have some awake time beside just eating and we're enjoying getting to actually spend sometime with them! (Before they were only waking up to eat and immediately going back to sleep) They're eating every two hours and we figured out last night that I am getting around 3 1/2 hours of sleep at night! But they are little angels and I love them with all my heart! Here's some pictures we took of them today at 7 weeks old!
