Dreams

Jack told me that last night he "dreamed of wonderful stuff." I asked him what his dream was about, and he said "princesses and make-up." He then replied that most of of the his dreams are bad and about scary dinosaurs. Oh dear.

Long time no blog

Not a lot has happened since the last time I posted. West is walking like a pro and talking really well. I am 32 weeks along, time has gone by so fast, probably because I have been so busy. Jack is a chatty Kathy, he talks more than any girl I know. I often have to tell him to take a breath, but I do love him! Aaron is still working at Wasatch, and loving it. Here are some pictures from the last little while.

Almost 20 months...... and he is Walking

West has started walking! He has been working with a physical therapist for about three months, and started walking about a week ago. It makes me so happy to see him walking around the house. He is so much happier, and loves chasing Jack around.




Here are some pictures from recently:

Maga got the boys shirts from her trip to Florida.
Jack's new smile, tilting his head all the way back.

Saturday we went to Bridal Veil Falls

Jack and Dad

West loved his new found freedom!

Mothers day was so nice. Aaron got up with the boys, and and made breakfast with Jack. Jack also got to sing in sacrament meeting, and had his first talk in primary. He did a wonderful job! Aaron then grilled Steaks for dinner. I was definitely spoiled, and loved every minute of it!

I could not get the boys to smile

26 weeks. And West is very happy!

Easter

For Easter this year, we had an Easter egg hunt with a family in our Branch on Saturday. There were 6 kids, but about 100 candy eggs. We went a little overboard, and now we have tons of candy, but they all enjoyed it.

Jack filled his basket 4 times

Getting loot!

Sunday morning the boys got their Easter baskets.

We were having a fun Easter morning, until West stuck a sweet tart bunny in his mouth, and swallowed it without chewing. He started coughing, and was having a hard time breathing. He then began throwing up, but still could not get the candy out. We could tell he was in a lot of pain, Aaron hit him on the back a couple of times, and West was able to breath better, but the candy was still stuck. He kept coughing and throwing up, but was eventually able to breath a little better. Since he was breathing ok now, I just held him, he looked so tired, after about thirty minutes he threw up again. We called the doctor and they told us the candy should dissolve, and just to keep an eye one him. Finally about an hour and half after he popped the candy in his mouth, he had his energy back and was playing with Jack. I don't know if I am ever going to buy that candy again for Easter.

The boys in their new ties

Chair Spin

Today I spent about thirty minutes spinning the boys in our computer chair. Jack kept asking me to spin them faster, and then would promptly, say slow down. West was just enjoying himself, he was laughing and singing. Jack and West are similar with their temper, but quite different other wise. West is our dare devil, and well Jack is kind of scared of everything.

Jack freaks out when:
-He gets a drop of water on him, he completely strips his clothes off
-He gets the slightest bit dirty
-He goes swimming, or goes down a slide
-A bug comes any where near him

We are hoping West will cure him. West gets into anything and loves being dirty. Saturday he tried to eat a rollie pollie, and constantly eats dirt. He will leap off the couch, jump into the water (from his bum, cause he is still not walking) and loves wrestling. It is funny how different they are.

This was right in the middle of a spin, they both look high, or sick

The boys each take a couch and play cars, almost all day

Aunt Anne visited a couple of weeks ago.

Trying to do a summer salt

Jack has been singing a song lately:
"Spank my booty, spank my booty, give me a kiss, and then spank my booty."
I asked him who he learned it from and he said, Aunt Anne First, then his Sunday school teacher, and then my sister Breanna. It is really funny to hear him sing it.

A Girl?

Another month has gone by, but not without exciting news. We found out last week that I am not going to be as outnumbered. We are expecting a GIRL on Aug. 13th. We are super excited! I think Jack might be as excited as Aaron and I. He is excited to play with girl toys, and help pick out girl clothes. He even says that he has a baby girl in his tummy.

West is starting physical therapy today. He is not walking, so hopefully this will help him. He had physical therapy in Washington, because he was not sitting, I guess he has his own schedule.

Jack has been quite the character:

Talking in a high squeaky voice, while holding a teddy Graham. "I am getting really tired, I need to take a nap in Jack's mouth."

He ate a some grapes this morning, and said that he had a grape tree growing in his mouth.

He has a great imagination and it is fun to see him play. It is hard to believe that he is getting so old.

Here is a video of how West rocks himself to "sleep," I swear he is going to break his neck.

Some Pictures

Life has been crazy, so here are just a couple of pictures.

Trying to make a funny face

Cookie!!!

He would not let me put a diaper on him.

West is 17 months, and still not walking, but he gets into everything none the less. People ask me how old he is, when I tell them, they are surprised, they think he is 12 months, just because he is so small. He is going to nursery next month, but I am not sure how well that will go. He is scared of everyone, he will only go to me and Aaron. He is also a big tease. He will not say mom, he points to me and says dad, and giggles. And he loves taking toys away from Jack.

When he takes something from Jack, it is not a pretty sight. Jack has a bad temper, he will pick up anything near him and try to hit West with it, while yelling at him at the top of his lungs. I have "washed" his mouth out with soap a couple of times, because he loves spitting at me, when I ask him to do something. One time I put soap in his mouth, and he still spit at me, so I told him he was going to get it again, his response, "Do it, I like soap in my mouth!" He sounds like a teenager! I hope I can tame him, before I go crazy! I love him so much, but he is a handful!

I love staying home with my boys, and can't wait till the weather is nice so we can go outside!!
