Early Christmas...

My parents brought the twins' Christmas presents with them when they came for Thanksgiving. Since then they've been sitting underneath the tree. The boys have been surprisingly patient waiting to open them. In fact they've had LOADS of fun just playing with the wrapped boxes, haha. Anyways, we didn't want to lug the presents to and from Utah so we let them open them on Saturday. They were SO excited! They got lots of trains and cool tracks! Thank you mom and dad, I have trains ALL over my house! =)

Here's Joshy showing off two of his trains... Here's Jackson's trains...

Don't be deceived, this is only PART of it all...there's a whole nother set of tracks and a TON more trains but "they were sleeping and don't want to take a picture." Hahaha, of course.

Why is Jack all dressed and Josh is still in his jammies? Well every morning Josh carries Tyce's formula downstairs and Jack carries the bottle downstairs (I keep it up there for night feedings). This morning Jack had his hands full of trains (of course) so he thought it'd be smart to put it down inside his jammies to carry it downstairs. Well, I guess he forgot about it and went off playing. Later he came in bawling because it had spilled all over inside his jammies and he was all wet with formula. Hahahaha, it was hilarious.

Well I'm off to Tyce's 4 month appointment! Update to come!

Best Friends...

This morning Jackson asked if he could hold Tyce on his lap. I set him all up with pillows and stuff and then went into the other room for a second and this is what I overhear Jackson say...

"Tycee, I am your bestest friend and I love you so much!"

It melted my heart. It still amazes me how much Jackson and Josh love and adore Tyce. It surprises me they don't resent him because I have so much less time for them than I used to. I think them being twins and having never had me to theirselves anyway has probably helped. Whatever the reason, I am so grateful they all love eachother so much. Tyce's little face just lights up when his brothers talk to him. I am so blessed to have three little angels that all get along so well!

Why Is Bedtime So Difficult?

Those of you that have kids that just, GO TO BED, are so incredibly lucky! I love Jack and Josh and would say they're pretty well behaved easy kids...EXCEPT bedtime. For some reason, no matter how tired they are, they always get a second wind when it's bedtime. It doesn't help that they share a room and get eachother all riled up. Anyways, last night about 1.5 hours after we put them down, we heard them upstairs playing. Parker and I were so annoyed, we had been up there 100 times telling them to go to bed. So we ran upstairs ready to just blow up at them and we walk into their room and see this...
It doesn't look as funny in the pictures but Jackson had all his toys shoved inside his jammies. He looked hilarious but the funniest part was he had a police car in there that was going off so everytime he moved a siren went on from inside him, hahaha. It was seriously hilarious. Parker and I laughed so hard, took pictures, then tried to scold them-haha. Ah the joys of parenthood!

Fun/Nasty Gross Night...

Sunday night we had our friends/neighbors, the Kereys, come over for dinner and games. It was so much fun to have them over and the boys loved it as well. Jadeh sure loves to spoil Tyce, she holds him 24/7 and he just LOVES it!

Here they all are...

Why then was it a nasty/gross night? Well after they left we put the boys down for bed and I was on the phone with my mom and Parker was watching football. I went upstairs to check on the twins after I got off the phone and they both had something soaking wet wrapped in soaking wet bath towels on their beds. I asked them what they were doing..."We thought it would be funny to dunk all our stuffed animals and dinosaurs in the toilet." AH I was so mad! I had about an inch of toilet water on the bathroom floor and dripping wet animals everywhere. So I took away everything and told them I was throwing them all away in the big garbage for the garbage man to take away. In reality I threw them all in the washing machine, but I wanted them to panic. Jackson couldn't have cared less and just fell asleep but poor Joshy was DEVASTATED over not having his dinosaurs. He cried the saddest most desperate cry I've ever heard. I wanted to give in so bad but I had to be strong, they need to learn to NOT PLAY IN THE TOILET! Seriously, aren't they too old for that? Or is that just boys? Ew. In the morning the first thing Josh asked for were his dinosaurs. I gave them to him and said, "so was it funny to play in the toilet Josh?" He goes, "yes, we had SO much fun mommy!" Ah, I guess they'll never learn...

Rolling Rolling Rolling

Tyce rolled over today! He had already gone front to back but he had never gone back to front before! He was so proud and so cute. BUT, I missed it! Yes me, who is with him pretty much 24/7. The ONLY time we're apart is when I go to the gym every day, and of course that's when he chooses to roll. Oh well, it's still exciting. But now I have to watch him so carefully! I don't want another broken leg incident like poor Jackson! Here's the cute little roller...
I love how he cuddles his burp rag just like Jack and Josh did...
He's 4 months old now and is getting some chunk on him! Yay! He is still the happiest baby alive during the day. Pretty much any time you smile or talk to him he will give you a huge smile back and laugh or talk. He's very easy to please and entertains himself well. Nights are still tough. He is up a LOT and doesn't always want to go back to sleep after he eats, he'd rather smile and play. Punk! Haha. We love him so much though and he brings SUCH joy into our home, our lives, and our hearts. Love you Tycee!!!
