Baby-sitting our favorite twins!

Today I had the pleasure of watching Eve and Emmett for a few hours. We all had so much fun. We had snacks, played with all of the toys, watched a little t.v. (sorry Gwen) then ventured to the hall cabinet for a change of scenery. Though Eve and Emmett did have fun, they kept looking for their mommy. And when their daddy came, oh boy, were they excited! Jack loved having friends over. He even shared his baby with Evie! And Adam had many conversations with Eve. Again, I'd love to know what they all were talking about!

Pulling out the secret weapon....t.v.!

"Mommy said no!"

These boys sure do like to test me. I am already starting to struggle with discipline. I know, already?!?! For example, today Jack decided to remove the pillow blocking the pathway to the back of the t.v. cabinet. He knows this is "off limit" territory, yet he still can't resist the temptation. I go to the computer to check my email and literally 2 seconds later Jack and Adam are behind the t.v. After repeating "no, no, no" and dragging them out, I decided to "spy" on them. Sure enough, Jack goes right back to pulling the pillow out. I grab him, sit him in time out, and expect him to quietly sit there, assuring me he will never do that again. Instead, he laughed hysterically, thinking this new game I'm playing with him is great!

Another "fun" game the boys like to play is taking the phone behind the couch. If I accidentally leave it out they will hide behind the couch and start pushing the buttons. Once I finally get the phone back, the boys just chuckle. The phone and the Desitin tube and the two "off limit" items they love to get their paws on.

I better start reading some discipline book!

We're Back....

I know, I know, it's been too long. I'm still trying to get back to my regular schedule since being home from Kansas City. As most of you know, we took a family trip to Kansas City. We had a great time, seeing family and just relaxing. Chad left us a few days early, so the boys and I flew home alone. To my surprise it was quite easy flying with them myself. I'm thrilled because now I have the confidence to travel with them more often.

Well, let's see, what's new with the boys. Adam is now walking. He still favors crawling, but will walk throughout the day. Jack will now say "fffff" when we ask him what a dog says. Both the boys know where their nose and ears are. Though I have found whenever I ask them to show me with people around they ignore me. Adam loves to shake his head "yes", which makes me happy because the last few months all he liked to do was shake his head "no." Oh, and Jack will give kisses with his lips puckered and all. Adam still tries to just suck your face off. Both boys are still talking in their baby talk. Today Adam had a full on conversation with Evie and Baxter. I'd love to know what he is saying.

Happy Grandparents Day!!

Happy Grandparents Day! We love you Nana & Papa Garcia, Grandma & Grandpa Moorefield, Grandpa John, Grandma Jenny & Grandpa Scott and Great Grandma Harris!

Grandma Jenny's visit!

We picked up Grandma Jenny at the airport on Saturday. The boys took to her right away, well, after she tickeled them on the car ride home! We had a great visit. Besides the usual shopping, we just carried on like any other day. We played, had breakfast with my mommy friends, went to Gymboree, etc. Now, she is on her way to see my brother, his wife, and their 2 year old, for the next four days. I asked her to let me know which was more hectic, two 1 year olds or one 2 year old! Bye-Bye Grandma Jenny, we'll miss you!

Happy B-Day Miss Gwen!!

Happy 29th (wink, wink) birthday Gwen! Hope it was happy!
