Imaginary Friends...

So Jackson and Josh both have imaginary friends that I decided to blog about so I don't forget about them later on. Jackson's friend is named "Gobby" and Josh's friend is named "Goldy." They are both girls and they both have "brown skin." Whenever we are driving somewhere they both point out the window to a van and say, there's Goldy and Gobby! Whenever we get the mail, I always have to give them something for Goldy and Gobby. Whenver I tell them no they say, "my friend Goldy's mom lets me do that" or "Gobby always gets to do what she wants at HERS house." Haha. Yesterday Josh was telling me about how plants need water to live and grow or else they will be sad and die. I have never talked to them about plants (those of you who know me know that that is NOT something high on my priority list, haha) so I asked him where he learned that. He said, "from Goldy." I told him Goldy wasn't real, where did he learn that. He got very mad and said, "Goldy IS real and she DID teach me that." I know I shouldn't have said that but I wasn't thinking. They are always wanting to draw pictures for Goldy and Gobby and always putting their toys in bags "to bring them to Goldy and Gobby's house because they don't have ANY toys!" I think it's cute and apparently very common and normal. It's another form of make believe and pretend play and it shows their amazing imaginations.

As for Tyce, I'm giving up. Haha, not really but I'm not going to bore you all with daily posts anymore. IF the day ever comes where he sleeps through the night...I'll announce it. =) Until then, let's hope I can stay sane and awake during the days while getting up five times a night.

Lastly, MY PARENTS WILL BE HERE ON WEDNESDAY!!! YAY!!! I'm so so excited!!! So I'll see them in February, my MOTHER IN LAW in March, NICOLE in April PLUS I'm going to Utah for my little sister's graduation, CHRISTINE is coming for ALL of May, then my PARENTS and GRANDPARENTS are coming in June! Oh and in July and August we're going to Eagle Crest for a family trip and a girl's getaway. SO, I have much to look forward to! I love you all for coming to see us!!!!!!!

Night 4...

Tyce slept from 8pm to 8am, waking up at 11:30, 3:30, 5:30, and 6:30. Ah!!!

Here are some pictures of the snow yesterday. The boys had SO much fun out there playing for over three hours with Parker and our neighbor kids!

Here's a picture Parker took on his walk to the train in the morning...

Haha, Josh really was having fun but got cold sitting in the snow waiting for the picture...

Church is cancelled today so we are lounging around the house being lazy, which feels pretty good actually! =)

Night 3...

I wonder how many more of these posts I'm going to have to do until he's sleeping through the night? Last night he slept from 8:30pm to 7:30am. He woke up fussing at 4:30, 5:30, and 6:30am. Better I guess?

We're snowed in this weekend, I cannot believe how much snow we have outside. It's so pretty though! I'll try to get some pics of the boys out in the snow to post later...

The Funny Things We Say...

As a stay at home mom I think there are many things that I say that are actually pretty funny but I don't realize it at the time. For example, today I opened up the fridge to get some milk out and what do I say?

"Why are there Book of Mormons in my fridge?" Hahahaha.

The boys have been "reading the scriptures" all day today and apparently they needed to get "frozed." It was funny because Jackson said..."Josh, this scripture says JOSHY CANNOT READ SCRIPTURES." Hahaha.

Night 2...

Well, last night wasn't quite as good as the first night. He slept from 8:00pm to 7:30am but woke up about five times. The good news is that he never really got to the point where he was screaming. He woke up pretty hungry and had a big breakfast. My parents will be here next Wednesday and my mom says I have to have him sleeping through the night by then because she will NOT be able to stand listening to him cry. Let's hope Tyce cooperates!

This morning they were all so cute sitting in my bed watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse (their favorite cartoon)...

So yesterday we were giving Tyce a tub and Jackson goes..."Mommy, I love Tyce SO much that I want you to have ANOTHER Tyce." It melted my heart. Today while we were giving him a tub Jack goes..."Mommy, why didn't you have TWO Tyces like there's two of me and Joshy?" Hahaha, it was cute. They rarely talk about the fact that they are twins, I wonder how much they really understand it. It still amazes me how great they are with Tyce. They absolutely adore him and never get sick of him. My favorite part of the day is when I go get Tyce out of his crib and bring him into my room...the twins get SO excited Tyce is awake and Tyce's little face just lights up as soon as he sees his brothers. I love my boys!!!

Well I better get to the gym before the snow comes...sounds like we'll be snowed in all weekend!
