Boys

Some days I get lucky and I have a few minutes of peace where the boys look like this. 

But that happens very seldom. Most of the time they are more like this. 

This is the look I get when he hands his food over to Payton and then is immediately upset that Payton took it from him, it is followed by loud screams. 

Playing in the dirt of course. 

Just being silly. 

Helping mom in the kitchen. 

Wanting to be a helper and insisting on changing his brother's diaper. 

These boys are great! They drive me crazy on a regular basis but most days I really don't mind and really wouldn't have it any other way.
 
 
 
 

Memorial Day.

   We had a really fun Memorial Day. We were lucky enough to have Brent home for the day so we headed out to enjoy the nice weather and go for a hike. The boys loved it. Afterwards we went home and took naps and then had a BBQ for dinner. It was a nice relaxing day and we were happy we could spend time together. 

  

 

My Boys

The boys really have a good time playing together, at least most of the time. Jaxon wanted to "read" to Jagger. 

Jax loves guitars, he likes to play and sing for us. This day he chose to sing Moves Like Jagger. 

I was busy vacuuming and I moved all the chairs out from under the table.  The boys helped themselves to handfuls of cereal and sat pretending to watch a movie. Jax even told me I needed to be quieter so they could watch their show. 

He loves the dirt! He finds it and pours it all over himself and then makes sure to rub it in. 

He has a thing for climbing and despite the fact that he has fallen off the table more than once he still does it. I came downstairs and found him here dancing. 

I think I am officially in trouble with this little guy. I'm still not ready for him to move to a big bed so hopefully this won't become a habit. 

As usual we are keeping ourselves nice and busy. 

Life

We have been keeping ourselves busy; now that the weather is nice and warm we spend lots of time outside. 

The boys like to help; we made pizzas for dinner. 

I told Jaxon he couldn't have a snack; when I came back to the kitchen I found him like this. All I could do was laugh at the  look on his face. 

Jagger has started digging in the garbage again. I found him here eating half a sandwich and a pickle that Jaxon had thrown away. Apparently I don't feed him enough because this has happened on more than one occasion. 

Jag loves to watch TV and movies. 

We went to the park for a picnic dinner and to play. Jag realized the hill was too steep and crawled all the way down. 

Super fun to blow the dandelions; now our yard is even more cover than before. 

Jag was helping me one day and he helped himself to a banana. To my surprise he started peeling it just fine by himself. 

Playing some basketball. 

And of course our lives would not be complete without bubbles! 

1 1/2 Years.

Jag had his first official day in nursery at church about a month ago. Unlike Jaxon was at this age; Jag was very excited to be there. In fact for the 2 months previous to this very big day he would cry when we dropped Jax off and he wasn't allowed to stay and play. Now when it is time to go to nursery he is practically running down the hall and is trying to go into any open door thinking that is where he needs to go and once we finally get to the right room he is gone; he doesn't even look back! 

He wasn't too interested in getting pictures taken. 

Jax insisted that he have his picture taken also. Jag is still my little trouble maker, he is always super busy and getting into stuff. He is trying to say more and more but his vocabulary is still pretty limited to mommy, mama, truck, and most recently help me. He is right on track on the growth charts; 23 lbs. and 32.5 inches tall. He is very much the opposite personality from his brother which is fun for me; there is definitely never a dull moment at our house.
