People Who Say They Sleep Likes Babies, Usually Don't Have One!!!

It is sad to say but Jack is just growing up to fast! Jack has been a little stinker lately about his sleeping arrangements! He is always getting stuck in weird positions and he has been waking up in the middle of the night alot lately just wanting to cuddle. I love cuddling.... but at 3 in the morning, not sure that I'm loving it! Me or Richard will sit and rock him in his chair and you will think that he is totally out of it but then as soon as you put him in his crib and shut the door he wakes up screaming! Needless to say we have been some very tired people lately. So last night was the final straw and we decided that today would be the day that we would put him in a big bed. Well not so much a bed as a mattress on the floor, but hey it works! This I hope will work out better. This way when he wakes up in the night we can just go lay by him and we won't have to be moving him around.

Here is Jack and Trey testing out the new bed!
Jack was so excited to see that he had a cool bed like Trey! He went and got himself a book and started to read in bed!

We gotta have all those pillows so that he doesn't fall off the side, not that it is a very far drop!

I can't believe that he is already moving into a big bed! He is growing up so fast it makes me a little sad! But at least this little guy likes being a baby, he loves to be cuddled and he knows that he is my little baby! Trey was never like that, he wants to grow up as fast as possible. I'm glad that at least one of my babies wants to be with me forever ;) For the time being anyway!

In Trey Baby news, this little guy has not been feeling so hot that last few days! He has had a pretty wicked cold! Trey hasn't been sleeping very good like the rest of the people in this house! He has been getting up at all hours of the night and it just hasn't been pretty! Tonight I walked up to our room because Trey was up there watching cartoons and relaxing after a highly emotional day. This is what I found a 7 o'clock this evening.

This poor little guy! I hated that I had to wake him up to put on his jammies! But I'm sure that he was glad that I did. He fell right back to sleep after and I'm hoping that he will get some good sleep tonight. So that is the story of our sleepy lives. Here's to hoping that we all sleep good tonight!

The Birds!!!

Trey's school has a few pets. They had asked for volunteers a little while ago and Trey was really excited because he wanted to bring home the class birds! I was not thrilled in fact I was more willing to take home cockroaches over these guys! But I just couldn't convince him so here we are! We had planned on taking them home in the middle of December but the school hadn't decided what day they were going to be done with school! So when they did our weekend was out. The only weekend that was left was the whole week of Thanksgiving! I'm not to excited about having them for a whole week but I didn't want to let Trey down, he was really looking forward to it! So I caved and we picked them up yesterday after school!

Here they are June is on the left and Benny in on the right! Benny likes to sing ALOT and June makes a sound like she is laughing at you!

I was hoping that we wouldn't have to take them out of the cage but Trey's teacher said that it was good for them to get out at least once a day so they could stretch their wings! I was not thrilled so I gave that assignment to Richard! Trey loves having the birds here and I think Jack likes them to! I was actually surprised that Trey would get as close to him as he did when they were out of the cage!

Here are all the boys playing with the birds! When we got them out of the cage yesterday all I could think about is that they were going to poop all over the house! It only happened once yesterday though we will have to see how it goes later today! A funny story we had let them out and they were not really moving around all that much they were just sitting on the cage! Jack was walking all over the place trying to figure out what was going on in this zoo and I was sitting on the stairs trying to stay as far away from the birds as possible! All of the sudden June started flying all over the kitchen and she came right for my head! I freaked out and started running and Jack started screaming! I can't blame him I wanted to scream but I didn't want to scare Jack. Then Benny started flying all over the place there were feathers all over the place. When Richard tracked down the birds they were up on Trey's room making themselves at home! They were quickly up back in the cage after that. Only 6 more days to go with the birds! I hope that I can convince Trey that we are going to bring home one of the other pets next time! But we are having a good time with our loaner pets but I'm glad that we get to take them back!

We've Got Spirit!!

We have had the Christmas bug since about the middle of October! Trey has been wanting to put up our tree since before Halloween! So I finally caved and we put it up (secretly I've been dying to put it up too)! Our house is now all decked out and festive and we just love it! There is lights all over the house and it is just so fun to see Jack just walking around all amazed by all these twinkling things!

The boys have their own little trees that we put down in the family room! Here is Trey sort of decorating his!

Jack making his tree all sorts of cool! He didn't really get the concept! He would go and get an ornament and then walk over and hand it to me! Silly kid!

Finally it was time to decorate the big beautiful tree! I'm so glad the boys have trees of their own so that we can have this beauty! Jack liked getting in on the action of this tree as you can see! He has become a real climber the last couple of weeks! It gives my heart a little jolt now and then! But he just wants to roll like the big boys!

Trey and Jacky "helping" me! I ended up having to move alot of things since everything was at the bottom! No pants on Jacks once again in this pic. This is how he spends most of his day folks! He does not like wearing pants he never has so this is what our little guy looks like!

Trey being a good helper and feeling the Christmas Spirit!

Jack had to have a little pit stop during the festivities! He looks so cute in this pic! This has become his new favorite thing to do in the morning! He liked to just lay on the couch have his morning baba and look at the tree!
The finished product! I just love having our house all done up for Christmas it is so fun! It's even funner that we have two little guys to share it with! Richard has been working alot the last couple of days, so he didn't get in on the Christmas Tree action. We wish he could have been here! Hope you all have a great Thanksgiving!

These Boots Are Made For Walkin'

I walked down stairs last night after getting pj's ready for Jack after his bath to find this little munchkin!


He had put on my big boots and was walking around the kitchen like it was no big deal! He is so silly! He was about to take them off but I told him that he had to go and show Richard! He stumbled up the stairs in these big boots! Richard couldn't believe what his little boy was doing!

He doesn't walk around in my shoes that much but every once in a while! I'm glad that I got it on camera this time so that I can harass him with it in the future! Gotta love ya Trey Baby!

Movin' On Up!!!

Richard got a promotion!! I'm so excited for him! He has been the City Manager for 6 years here in Logan and it has been great but I could tell that for the past little while he has been wanting something a little bit more challenging! He couldn't sleep the other night so I guess he was just up thinking about what he could do to help Westates and himself a little bit! He came up with the idea of him over seeing the northern part of Westates! They have someone that does it in the southern part so why not have one in the north! The next morning he told me about it and was trying to decide if he should go and talk to his boss about it or if he should wait till the next week! I said he needed to go that day not wait because I knew there was a possibility that he would talk himself out of it! He made a great pitch and they loved the idea! His boss was so excited that he wanted to do this! So at the beginning of January Richard will be handing over his spot as City Manager to his assistance to become the Director of Northern Operations! He will be over seeing Logan, Salt Lake and Elko Nevada! He will have to travel a little bit but it is something that we can live with! I'm so proud of him! He is going to do such a great job and I'm so excited to see him excited about his new venture! Some people have thought that it is alittle crazy that he works at the theatre and don't see it as a real job but it has been something that has been great for us and I'm glad that he has been able to stay working somewhere that he loves! It is great for our family it makes it possible for him so spend a lot of time with us and it is very flexible. I'm so happy for him and I can't wait for him to start on this new path! Congrats Richard me and the boys love you so much and think you are amazing!

When Lasagna Attacks!!!

We had Lasagna for dinner last night and this is what happens when a 1 year old eats it! I had to put up these pics they were just to cute and funny!

Trey was sad that I was only taking pictures of Jack so I had to take one of him eating! Trey has somewhat mastered the art of putting food in his mouth unlike Jack!

Trick or Treat!!! (Redo)

Happy Halloween! We had a wonderful time yesterday celebrating one of our favorite holidays! We just love it and we go all out Richard and me get into it too and it is just so much fun! The boys had a great time, got spoiled by everyone that they know and got tons of candy! Trey's costume was a big hit and everyone loved Jack but how couldn't you!


The boys Trey was the Joker and he was so cute and Jack was the cutest little monkey!

Our little Jacky! I just want to squeeze him just looking at this picture!
Our little Joker! He did such a good job and even got into character whatever that was for him since he hasn't seen the movie! We have been telling him some of the things that the joker says so he was going around to everyone saying, "why so serious!" and "let's put a smile on that face!" Oh Trey he is so funny! I just love him!
I took this picture a few days before Halloween when I was making a few adjustments to Richard's costume! I'm glad that I did because this is how Richard was going to go for Halloween and them he chickened out on the actual day! Love your round mound Rich!!

And here is the whole family! We just love Halloween I was a witch I need to change it up next year and Richard was a wrestler! He was suppose to go shirtless but he chickened out at the last second! What a poor sport just kidding Richard you looked great! Hope you all had a great Halloween!!
