Dolls...

The boys got these adorable camo baby dolls from Auntie Christine for Christmas. Unfortunately, we could not fit them in our luggage coming back so my mother in law had to ship them and they just came in the mail yesterday...it was like Christmas all over again! The boys were SO excited! They have been the best little "mommys" taking care of them. They sleep with them, eat with them, and carry them around kissing their foreheads. It is so precious. They treat him just like I treat Tyce. Jackson threw a fit this morning because I would not let him give his baby real oatmeal like Tyce was eating, haha. Last night Josh kept taking off his baby's clothes to "check if he was poopy" but couldn't get his clothes back on so he got mad, haha.

Here are the dolls, pretty life like looking huh? Cute Jack taking care of his baby...

Cute Josh holding his baby...I finally convinced Jack to pretend to feed his baby and he gave in...

I love watching them play make believe, this has been my favorite age for sure. They are so innocent and adorable yet can still do most things on their own. I love my boys!!!

Sunbeams...

Today was the twins first day in Primary as Sunbeams! They were so excited to leave nursery (where the BABIES are) and join primary (where the BIG kids are). I hear they were very reverent and they told me they had lots of fun. It was hard for me, it's sad to see my boys grow up so fast. I love this age so much and just want to freeze time!

Here they are in front of the church showing off the pictures they drew in Primary...

Christmas Week Part 2...

I know you have all been waiting on the EDGE of your seats for part 2 so here goes...

Wednesday night we picked up Parker from the airport and drove out to Neola for Christmas. As soon as we walked in the house it felt SO much more like Christmas. Michelle goes all out decorating her house, playing christmas music, and goodies all over. We were all so excited to be there for Christmas. We were also so excited to see everyone (except Jackie, Tyler, and Cole were in Oregon this year-we missed them!). The boys, needless to say, were spoiled rotten all week. Jackson and "Kersteen" were attached at the hip the whole time-for some reason Jackson is extremely attached to Christine, it's really cute. WARNING: lots and lots of pics to follow...

Here they are getting ready to go sledding behind the 4 wheeler... They thought this Santa that climbed up the ladder was so cool but it was hard for them to keep their hands off it...

Ready to go sledding! They were so brave and loved falling out on the "big jumps"...The crazy drivers Christine and Tegan...
Grandma and Tycee, it was so nice that mom can sit down and hold him now that her back is better! Yay!Christmas Eve they got to open one present, a pirate ship from Grandma and Grandpa Morrill, they loved it! When Jackson wasn't hanging on Christine, she was able to hold Tyceroo...Joseph and Mary for the nativity (yes, Jack is Mary and yes, he is wearing lipstick)...Bart-donkey, Christine and Tegan-wise men, Mom and Shane-angels, Parker-shepard, Tyce-baby Jesus, me-narratorNew Christmas jammies from Grandma Morrill...Their Santa present, a firehouse...All of us ready to come down for Christmas morning...I love Joshy's face here, he was SO excited...Tyce's santa present...Josh has been asking for a "ellow dump truck" for months now. Auntie Christine got him one and he was SOO excited, favorite present hands down...New cowboy boots from Grandma and Grandpa Morrill...My favorite present that the boys got, scrapbooks of our summer in Neola called "Summer with Grandma." They made me cry, I miss being close to the Morrills so much. We had so many good times together. The boys will treasure those books, thanks mom!Christine got Tyce a cute toy that he can play with on his high chair, he is Mr. Happy now that he is on solid foods...Beautiful Auntie Christine and adorable Tycee in his new outfit...Mommy and Tyce...How cute are these cowboys?Decent family picture...Christine and I have a hard time getting a cute pic together for some reason...Cute cowboy watching Polar Express...It was sad for Jack and Christine to say goodbye, they had a fun time together...ok, it wasn't just sad for Jackson, I cried too =(

It was the perfect Christmas for our family this year. Thanks again to mom and dad Morrill for flying us out there and for making our Christmas so special. LOVE YOU ALL!!

Christmas Week Part 1...

Wow it has been an exhausting, exciting, and entertaining week! I decided to do my post in two parts, one with my family and one with Morrills. We spent the first few days at my little sister Lindsay's new house in Provo. She was a great hostess and the boys loved it (the fact that she had about 5 candy dishes out didn't hurt). It was so good to be with my sis, I love her so much and it is SO SO SO hard to be this far away from her, especially considering how much she loves my boys and how much they love her.



Here they are in Jack's bed on the couch, yes it's pink...Tycee was trying to open Uncle Jason's present...Smiley guy...Jack was in no mood for a pic, but cute of everyone else...Auntie Lindsay making Tyce laugh...Thanks for letting us stay Linds and Jason, I know your house was loud and messy but I hope you enjoyed the kids. =) LOVE YOU BOTH!



Tuesday and Wednesday I spent with friends since Lindsay had to work all day. Tuesday I went to Justina's house and the boys played with Aiden for five straight hours and had SOOO much fun! I forgot my camera but hopefully Justina will email me the cute ones she took. The twins adore Aiden and watching them play made me sad because they live so far away from eachother. Plus, I love Justina and we get along great and had so much fun talking all day. Thanks for having us over!



Wednesday I went over to my friend Melissa's house and the boys played with her precious girls. They had fun too and it was fun to see prego Mal! =)



Tyce loved Paisley's princess chair... Wednesday night I picked up Parker from the airport and headed out to Morrills, more on that in the next post. =)



Sunday Christine drove us out to Provo so we could spend a couple hours with my family before we headed to the airport. My mom and Lindsay made a yummy lunch for everyone and it was so nice to all be together, even though it was only for a few hours.



Dana and Jason...Gosh I have missed my Abbi Lynn, isn't she beautiful? The cousins had fun playing together, throwing stuff down the stairs for Abbi to catch...Abbi loved Tyce and was little miss mommy to him...Livi and Jackson always get along so well...Grandpa and Mason, he's the happiest little kid alive...

We wanted to leave Lindsay's house by 2pm to get to the aiport for our flight but Livi, Jackson, and Josh accidently bumped Lindsay's glass table thing and it shattered all over her tile floor. Needless to say, it was a huge mess that a while to clean up. I felt so bad, but Lindsay handled it very well and I think she'll forgive us! =( Anyways, we hurry hurry hurry to the airport, say hi to my grandparents for a few minutes because they wanted to see Parker, then hurry to our gate...only to find out our plane is delayed because they "didn't have a flight crew booked" so we had to wait almost two hours until they could find one. Luckily my parents were with us because they were flying home to Oregon so we hung out, which was really nice. The crappy part was getting in so late. We landed at about 12:45am! The boys were pretty good on the plane, Jack slept for 2.5 hours so when we landed he was a happy helper which was nice because Tyce and Josh were out like lights so we had to carry them everywhere, along with our 5 suitcases, 3 car seats, 2 DVD players, 2 diaper bags, and a huge fire station box. Anyways, we got home about 2:15am and got to bed about 3am. Needless to say, we're exhausted!

But it was SO worth it! I love my family and really needed this time with them!

Stay tuned for part 2! =)

Christmas Cookie Fun...

For our Family Home Evening activity last night we made and frosted Christmas sugar cookies! The boys have been looking forward to this for so long, they were so excited. It was my first time making sugar cookies from scratch and they turned out pretty good! The boys loved using the cookie cutters and picking out which shapes to do. I also made homemade frosting and then we used food coloring to make it pretty colors. It was a yummy and messy evening!

The finished product...They picked their favorite ones to eat...Josh was much more of a perfectionist and quite coordinated about his frosting...Jack was just concerned about which one he was going to eat, haha...

It was a fun family night. We taught the boys that they are children of God and they seemed to understand it somewhat. They have such sweet spirits and there's nothing like having that in your home. I love my boys!

P.S. Where was Tyce? He was upstairs in his crib resting up so he could keep mommy up all night. =(
