Twin Update

The babies are so much fun right now...don't get me wrong, they are still a lot of work (I live for nap time) and it takes a lot of energy to head out the door with both babes, but I am loving this age. They are both showing more of their personalities. They love to be outside and of course head straight to the street...I think a gate may be in our future. They both love music and to read books. They love their older brothers and love when they entertain them by acting silly. They have added a lot of love and unity in our family and we just enjoy them. I am relishing this time when they are so fun and can't talk back yet;)

Justin is our mama's boy...but I won't complain, I just love this little guy. All he has to do is look at you with his huge blue eyes and you are hooked. He loves to wrestle and read books. He loves his milk and to sign "more" whenever he wants something. He loves our cat Max and loves to follow his sister around. He has been walking behind her with his hands on her shoulders, which makes her fall and cry...which I think he likes. Jessica is holding her own now though...she just goes to bite him - ugh. Justin has discoved balls and loves to drop them in the kitchen and watch them bounce. He is so much fun to watch. He is our sweet boy and makes us so happy!

Jessica is such a joy in our house. She is independent and a go-er. She flashes her cute smile to get

a reaction out of us. Her daddy loves when he comes home because she runs to him with her sweet smile and gets her loves. She is such a girl, she collects things and carries them around with her, she loves her little stuffed animals, she wears her pretty (necklace) around constantly - it really is a soccer award, but that is what you get living with all boys:) she loves to wear her shoes and if she doesn't have them one she gets them for you to put on her. The other day she wore Nathan's sandal around for quite a while. We just love this little lady and are so happy to have her in our home!!

Sunday at the park!

The weather has been just wonderful the last while. It doesn't feel like the end of October at all. I am loving it and so is the family. This past Sunday we took a walk down to one of the parks by our house. It is so nice now that the babies can walk and play on the playset, I still haven't been brave enough to take them on my own, they still require two adults, or an older child:) to watch over them. While there, Jessica wondered into another family, and just stood in the middle of them. She is very brave and independent. After a little while of her just standing there with a stoic face she burst out crying. I think she realized she didn't know these people and got scared!! It was pretty funny. It is so nice to enjoy the weather and be together with all the fam at the park. What a wonderful Sunday!!

Boys Weekend!

Last weekend the boys had a wonderful opportunity to go camping at the sand dunes with cool Uncle Todd. Uncle Todd has all the toys and his wife and girls were busy for the weekend, so he called on his "boys" to join him! So Jaron and the boys packed up and hit the road to meet Uncle Todd at the sand dunes. They enjoyed a wonderful time full of four wheel riding and dirt digging, rolling down the big sand dunes, junk food eating, and all things BOY!!! Uncle Todd is so wonderful and patient with the boys, he gave them all instructions on how to and where to go.

The boys were also able to watch Uncle Todd do all his cool tricks on his dirt bike.

Here is Tyson riding on the track they had made right by the camping site.

Braden enjoying his turn!

Nathan the dare devil...Jaron had to tell him many times to slow down.

Thank you Uncle Todd for adopting these boys for the weekend and showing them such fun! We love you:)
