NO PEOPLE, I'M NOT PREGNANT!

So apparently something in my last post made the whole blogging world think I'm prego, no no I am not pregnant. I have been having some major stomach issues for about a year now but it has gotten really bad as of this last week so I am finally getting into a doctor to get things checked out. They have run some tests and I have a follow up appt tomorrow. Normally I wouldn't post stuff like this but I am sick of everyone asking if I'm pregnant!!! Anyways, hopefully I can get some resolution to this soon, the constant stomach pains are getting really old!

Why Parker Is In the Doghouse...

One of my favorite things about being married is that I always have someone around to kill bugs. For those who don't know, I am 100% terrified of spiders, crickets, grasshoppers, beetles, preying mantises, ok pretty much everything creepy and crawly except ladybugs and potato bugs. I have appreciated that Parker has always been a man, stepped up, and saved me from these horrible creatures. BUT....

Last night the boys and I got home at about 1am from a long drive home from Logan and I pull into the garage and RIGHT there on the wall, RIGHT where I have to get out of my car, there is a HUGE and I mean HUGE flying beetle!!! There is no way I'm getting out of my car with that waiting to get me so I called Parker and asked him to come kill it for me. He takes his time getting out there and then leaves it there and won't kill it. I hear him mumbling something (cuz I'm still in the car) about it being nailed to the wall and him needing plyers to get it off. I figured he was joking. Eventually, he got his plyers and killed it so I could finally get out of my car...

So TODAY Parker's brother Shane came over for dinner and I was telling him the story and Parker says, "Jenn I DID nail it to the wall!" HE CAME HOME EARLIER, SAW IT, KNEW THAT IT WOULD TERRIFY ME, AND NAILED IT RIGHT WHERE I HAVE TO GET OUT OF MY CAR! Can you believe that? Needless to say, he is in the DOGHOUSE tonight!!!!!

P.S. I know I've been slacking on my posts lately, I have been very sick and hope to find out why tomorrow when the doctor calls!!! So cute pics of the boys to come, I promise!

Child of God

So a couple of nights ago I decided to start teaching the boys the primary song I Am a Child of God. Every night before bedtime we all go downstairs and Parker plays the piano and we sing the song. The boys sit next to daddy with their arms folded and smile so big, they really seem to like the song and I can tell they feel the spirit. I've caught them a few times playing the piano saying, "CHILD OF GOD CHILD OF GOD!" Haha, it is too precious and I am so grateful for little angels in my home that help to bring the spirit in.

On a different note, I am SO excited football season is back! Especially, BYU FOOTBALL! I'm a huge cougar fan and am lucky enough to be able to go to all the home games because A) my wonderful parents have season tickets and love me enough to give us some and B) I have wonderful parents in law who are babysitting the boys for EVERY GAME! How lucky am I?? Last weekends game was especially fun (we beat UCLA 59-0) then we went to Jason and Lindsay's house (how weird, my little sister is married) for homemade pizzas! Jason made delicious pizza and we had a great time!

Joshy and Gamma "Cluff"...

Jackson and Gamma Bybee, who he LOVES now...

The happy newlyweds...

GO COUGARS!

BIG BOY BEDS

I can't believe it, my boys are in big boy beds now! They have been sleeping so well in them and they look so cute at night! I go in there to check on them and I can barely find them! Was I sad to pack up the cribs? Yes and no. The baby stage with twins was extremely difficult, exhausting, and stressful and so I'm much happier with how things are now. Jackson and Josh are so much fun now and are really pretty easy, they play well together and I am now SO grateful to have twins! In some ways I think it's easier to have twins (at this age) because they entertain eachother and are never alone, they always have a friend by their side.

I thought today would be a good day to do a little update on them because I am home ALONE! My parents took the boys last night for a sleepover at their hotel (they're in town for the BYU football game today) and it sounds like they had a wonderful time being spoiled rotten! Parker and I were able to go out last night which was SO wonderful! Thanks mom and dad!

The Joys of Twin Boys:

It has been so fun lately to watch the boys play together and interact. I wish I could follow them around with a video camera to record their little conversations, laughs, and fights. They really do get along great and don't fight much. They have learned to share very well and they certainly have a twin connection. They love to hold hands and hate to be without the other. Some funny conversations that they have that I overhear...

Josh-"JACK BOOGER ME" (that means Josh has a booger on his finger, which drives him crazy, and he wants Jack to get it off)

Jack-"NO BOGGER ME JOSH"

Josh-"EW JACK BOOGER ME"

Jack-"MOOOMMY JOSH BOOGER ME"

Jack comes upstairs-"JOOOOOSH WHERE ARE YOU?"

Josh-"MY ROOM, COME PLAY ME JACK"

Jack has a drink and I ask him to give it to Josh-"HERE YA GO JOSH, WELCOME"
Josh-"THANK YOU JACK (hands it back to him), WELCOME"

It's hilarious when they fight and I tell them to say sorry...

Jack-"SORRY JOSH"

Josh-"NO SORRY ME JACK"

Jack-"SORRY JOSH!!!" (he gets so mad Josh won't accept his apology)

Josh-"NO SORRY ME JACK!!!!"

Obviously these conversations are cuter when you hear them in their cute little voices but they really are best friends and I just love listening to them. I feel blessed to have such perfect little twin boys in my home and I love them so much!!!

Waterskiing....

Ok so about a month ago we took the boys waterskiing at Eagle Crest and I am just NOW posting pictures, yes I am a little behind but better late than never! The boys had SO much fun on "bampa's big boat." Unfortunately, my mom got really sick that morning so she wasn't able to come which we were all super sad about. BUT, as always, my dad made it a super fun day for all of us! Thanks Dad!!!

Much to my surprise and relief, the boys LOVED their life jackets...

They also loved driving the boat...

Parker skiing...SO sexy =)...

Jack giving dad hand pounds after he's done skiing...

Jack holding the rope, "just like daddy"...

Daddy and Jack went tubing and Jack really seemed to like it....

Until they hit a big bump and FLIPPED OUT OF THE TUBE....

My heart seriously stopped I was so scared, but he was ok, he didn't even cry! He's my tough guy....

Mommy and Joshy went tubing too, but WE managed to stay IN the tube...

The lake has this really nice beach area so we spent a lot of time there, eating lunch and letting the boys play in the sand...

How cute is my dad...

Grandpa and Joshy...

The tired family at the end of the day...

Sorry for the millions of pictures but it was a really fun day that we want to remember! Thanks again Pa!!!

Baby Cole's Blessing...

We had a really fun weekend with both our families! My parents came in town this weekend for my little sister's Utah wedding reception and Morrills came out for Cole's baby blessing!

I didn't get any pics of the reception, but it was beautiful and I got to see my best friend Tara who came from Boise! We also celebrated my parent's 30th wedding anniversary! All of us kids got some pictures taken and gave that to them this weekend. When my parents were about our age they got their picture taken with my grandpa's Mercedes, which was kinda like the family car. We thought we would carry on the tradition and get our picture taken with my dad's Lexus, which was like our family car. Lucky for us he leaves it in Utah for when he comes here on business, he got it detailed last time he was here, and he always leaves the key here so we were able to go steal it for the picture. We gave them a big one of the Lexus picture and they loved it! We also took one with all of our Corollas. For those who don't know my parents bought each of us a car when we got married and we all ended up with Corolla sports, almost the exact same color. We thought it would be funny to get a pic of all the Corollas too. Jason and Lindsay's is much newer, but you get the idea. Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad!!!!

Sunday was baby Cole's blessing and it was wonderful. We all went up to Jackie and Tyler's house in Farmington for a luncheon, then we went to the blessing and Tyler did a great job. After the blessing we went back to their house for dessert and it was just fun to all be together. We love you precious Cole!!!

The whole Morrill fam...

Jackie, Tyler, and Cole...

It was so much fun, I love both my families and feel so blessed to be a part of them!

Goodbye Summer...

I can't believe it's SEPTEMBER already! Seriously, WHERE does the time go? I'm sad summer is over BUT I am very ready to be done with the heat, you all know how I just LOVE to be hot! Haha. Also, the sooner Parker starts his last year of law school the sooner he will be DONE! Yay! Here is what we've been up to lately...

My 4 year old niece Olivia had her very first soccer game...

I also had my 25th birthday! Oh, and HOW CUTE was my husband's post!? He is so sweet to me!!! I had a good day I was able to SLEEP in, work out, read my book in PEACE, take a nap, then we went up to Bountiful for a little bbq birthday party at my sister's house! We had a lot of fun, thanks sis!!!

The boys have been soaking up all the time with their daddy...

We spent labor day weekend out in Roosevelt with Parker's family and had a great time as always, I love my in laws!!!

Their dog, Okie, had PUPPIES! NINE of them! Those of you who know me know that I do NOT like dogs but PUPPIES...I love them! They are all SO precious and cuddly! P.S. They're all for sale, so if you want one let me know!

The boys loved the puppies, they were so cute with them...

Have I mentioned how much the boys love their Grandma and Grandpa Morrill? Not to mention their aunties Tegan, Jackie, and Christine! Oh and don't forget Uncle Tyler and uncle Shane!! Ok, so what I'm saying is that Jackson and Josh are two LOVED/SPOILED little boys when they go out to Roosevelt! They were entertained 24/7 with riding horses, playing baseball, playing basketball, going on walks, playing with sparklers, playing with the puppies, reading stories, etc etc etc. Josh was NOT excited to leave gamma!!! =(

Monday night Jackie, Michelle, and I went to Grandma Morrill's house to go through some of her stuff in case we found some things we wanted or needed. We ended up looking through her clothes and found some fun old lady nightgowns! We all put one on and came home to seduce our husbands. =) Hehe, it was a hilarious night-but I think we were all just super tired too!It's been a crazy, hectic, fun summer!!!
