The boys are now brushing their teeth on their own. I'm assuming with them just chewing on the brush for 5 minutes they are getting their teeth somewhat clean. I use to use a wash cloth to wipe their teeth but I was tired of getting bit all the time. They seem to like the fruit flavored tooth paste and since it's for children I don't have to worry about them swallowing it. I try to help them along but they get all bent out of shape thinking I'm going to take the brush away from them.
I'm hoping to be done painting the boys bedroom by next weekend. The wall are currently an off white color. I'm painting lime green stripes going horizontally around the the room. It's a ton of work so I'm hoping it's cute when I'm done. I'll post pictures (I know I keep saying that....)
We have a busy week this week. Today we went to our friend Courtney's house for a play group. There were 5 kids total, which Adam and Jack were the oldest. Tomorrow is babylap time at the library, Wednesday is Gymboree, and Thursday we are going to story time at our Pottery Barn Kids Store. I love having plans and I also love veggin' all day.
We miss our friends Eve and Emmett. Gwen had a tragic death in the family so she has been out of town since Friday. Our days just aren't the same without talking to our friends. Gwen, if you are reading this, our hearts and prayers go out to you and your family. Like we talked about, there are no words to make it better.

I know, I know, it's been awhile
I was told by someone recently, who shall remain anonymous(Kim Wentworth), that I needed to update my blog. Sorry I have been slacking on the Moorefield updates. Sometimes my days go by so fast and others just drag on. Guess I just haven't had much exciting stuff happen lately to write about.
I did have an exciting day on Monday with the Zac twins. Gwen was in a crunch for a sitter so I gladly volunteered to watch Eve and Emmett for the afternoon. It was great. All of the babies played really well and we didn't have any emergency situations. My new friend Tammy, whom I met through Gwen, came over with her 9 month old boy to help. We all had fun!
Well Jack has another lovey. Beth found one in Holland Michigan and mailed it to us. I'm so happy to have a back up lovey because all of the sudden Adam has an interest in his AND Jack's lovey. Grandma Moorefield said she found 2 loveys in Wichita Kansas and will be bringing them when she comes to visit is a couple weeks. So between the stash of them we should be good. Thanks to all that looked for us!
Adam and Jack are starting to fight. Adam will always cry when Jack comes near him because he fears Jack will take his toy, which he usually does. Their playroom is full of toys but they always want to play with the same thing. Adam will take a toy from Jack and start crawling in the other direction so Jack can't get him. And Jack will just crawl right on top of Adam to get whatever he wants. Boy, am I going to have my hands full!
I will be posting pictures of our house soon. We had a couch delivered this week and our tv installed above our fireplace. Things are coming along nicely. I love our house and can't wait to have everyone come visit!

Silence is Golden
Ahhh, peace and quiet. The boys are taking their morning nap. They take a nap at 9:00 a.m. and at 2:00 p.m. I think they are trying to give up their morning nap. Today is their first morning nap in 2 days! I don't want them to only have 1 nap a day! The morning nap is the time where I finish my cup of cold coffee and refill with a warm cup, take a shower (if I'm lucky timewise I get to shave my legs), maybe clean the kitchen from breakfast and enjoy the silence until they get up.
The boys are so active. I took them to babylap time at the library yesterday. I would sit down with both of them, turn to talk to another mommy, and off they both go. By the time I get up to carry one back the other is gone. If Jack wasn't trying to go out the library door, he was pushing someone else stroller or socializing across the room. Adam would follow Jack, while keeping an eye of me.
Both of the boys have decided that they do not want the other one to cuddle me. If Jack is laying in my lap, Adam will just sit there and cry. If Adam is snuggling me, Jack will fuss and give dirty looks. They both love to be rocked to sleep. Although Adam would prefer to rock and snuggle, then pull my hair and laugh. I would say out of both them, Adam is more of a "momma's boy." Usually if I leave his eyesight he will cry. Jack doesn't seem to notice unless he's tired and fussy.
We are offically off the bottles. It has been 2 weeks since they have had a bottle. I threw them out so I wasn't tempted to give in. They love their sippy cups. And they also didn't seem to notice the change from formual to whole milk. They are eating all kinds of foods, but still Cherrios is the food of choice for Jack and bananas for Adam.

Criminal, but so cute!
We had another first with the Moorefield boys. Chad and I took the boys to a Pottery Barn Outlet store today. We shopped around, didn't see anything we wanted, so we left. A few stores later we realized that Adam had grabbed a toy and stuck it in the stroller! Shoplifting, and only 1 year old! We are in trouble! I ever-so-slyly walked back to the store and put it on a table. It was actually pretty comical.
I'm still searching for a replica of Jack's lovey. It's a blue elephant with polka-dots. Grandma Moorefield bought it for him last year. I tried to find it online but they said it has since been discontinued. They sell it at Tuesday Mornings (so someone said on the Internet). Well I tried to go to our Tuesday Mornings and they are closed for 2 weeks for inventory! That's irritating. Tuesday Mornings is like TJ Maxx, they get random stuff in. My chances of finding another lovey is slim. Though I did see a lady on EBAY is selling one for $25.00! She obviously knows parents in desperate need to find another lovey will pay anything!
Here is the website that shows a picture of Jack's elephant. If you see at your Tuesday Mornings or anywhere else, please let me know. Even if you have to take it from another baby, I don't care! Okay, maybe not that extreme....

Happy Forth of July!
We had a pretty relaxing forth of July! In the morning we took the boys to the New Albany parade. The boys rode along in their new Radio Flyer wagon they got for their birthday. They seemed to like the parade, though the balloons they got had to have been the highlight of their day! Later in the day we played and took an exciting trip to Home Depot! Once the boys were in bed, Chad and I went to our neighbors for a few drinks. Overall, it was just another uneventful day.
Adam and Jack get their 1 year shots today. They do pretty well with shots, but I do give them Tylenol before we go. I'm going to ask the doctor about taking the boys off the bottle. I think it will be a hard transition. I probably need to go cold turkey and throw all of our bottles away. What a good feeling it will be to get rid of all of those bottles!
