On the Move

It is official...Justin is mobile. He is scooting everywhere, down the hall, into the bathroom, through the entry to the office. He loves to find out where everyone is and scoots to them. He loves his new found freedom!!! He does the army crawl and rarely comes up onto his hands and knees. Jessica is good at getting to her hands and knees, but goes backwards more than forward. I know real soon it will click and she will be everywhere too. Heaven help us:) Goodbye infancy, hello babies!!!

Jessica

OK , so I have always thought that boys and girls were different, you know the idea of boys being really busy and girls sitting and coloring or reading a book. Well, I now know for myself:) Jessica LOVES to read books. The other day we all three sat down to read. Justin was done after a page or two and off scooting to something else (typical boy). Jessica however, sat there through 5 books, and could have done more. She talked with me and helped to turn the pages. I just LOVED every minute of it. I havn't ever had a child love books so much. If she is ever not quite happy, all we have to do is pull out a book. Such a sweet girl!!!

Grammie Time!!!!

YAY, Grammie is here! She earns her keep when she comes to my house now, with all the cooking, laundry, and baby care. I have tried and tried to convise her to come and live with us, but I am not having any luck. I guess she has her own life or something:) We just love when Grammie comes to visit, she is so easy to have around and just jumps right in to help. Thank you Grammie for coming to stay with us, come again REAL SOON!!!!

Easter Dress?

I am so used to buying Easter polo shirts for the boys and this year I was able to buy my very first Easter dress for our princess. I didn't really look everywhere for a dress, but when I was somewhere I would look there. You know me....not a big shopper. So where did I find this one? Where other than Smiths Marketplace:) Our princess wore it last Sunday since Easter is during confrence this year. My mom was here too, so she got to see Jess all dressed up! Here is to more Easter dress shopping to come...I promise as she gets older we will go someplace other than Smiths Marketplace!!

Makes me smile EVERYTIME!!!

One of the best things about having a baby is seeing them smile at you when you walk into the room. So imagine my joy with two babies!! Everytime I walk into the room I have four eyes on me, two big happy smiles, and two bodies moving and shaking with excitement!! These are the times I think to myself it is all worth it. What a joy it is to have these babies in my life, they make me smile!!!

Nathan's 7th birthday

Nathan is seven...wow! He is such a fun boy to be with, always active and ready to do something. He is very independent and doesn't need mommies help for most things, unless he doesn't want to do it! We celebrated Nates birthday by taking just him out to dinner, his choice was Chuck a Rama..yum yum. Then we came home and grandma and pa Farr joined us for cake and ice cream and presents.

His big present a nerf gun... the older boys and he have not stopped playing army since we opened this.

Making his wish. He is such a joy in our house. When Nathan is happy, the whole house is happy:) He is doing well in school and has many friends. Nathan loves to watch sports with daddy, especially the Jazz and Cardnials. Sometimes I think he knows the most about sports in our family. Nathan played Jr. Jazz this winter and loved it, he did so well and he is going back to soccer this spring. We love watching him grow up! We love you Nate!

7 - months

I can't believe it has been seven months already...I know I say that everytime I update on the twins, but really time is flying by. They continue to be a joy in our home and family. All of us fight to get them out of bed in the morning as they are so happy and ready to take on the day! They are both wonderful sitters and put everything in their mouth. I am not looking forward to when they start crawling around, so we have not promoted it at all! That will be a new adventure for sure.

Jessica has mellowed quite a bit and is very content to sit and play with toys. She is a very good sitter and we even caught her going after a toy, she will be crawling soon is my guess. She is a daddy's girl and is so excited to see him everyday when he gets home from work. She already has him wrapped around her finger. She has a deep belly laugh that is so fun to hear. She continues to be very aware of everything going on around her. We just love her so much!

Justin boy continues to be such a love. If you need a squeeze from a babe, just come this way. He is so squeezable. He is pretty mellow still, but has discovered how to get picked up, by complaining a bit. He has his shy smile ready for most people, but has started to be more aware of who is around him. He won my dad over when he was here, but just being his sweet innocent self. We love you Justin boy!
