2010 so far..



A lot of crazy and new things have happened in our lives lately, and it just makes me realize how lucky I am - and how grateful I am to have such a wonderful husband and family. My husband's sister Carol Lynn moved in with us a few months back, and it's been such a delight having a girl in the house! That's her on the right with the brown hair next her friend Maddie. She is still adapting to life in Utah, but hopefully she can make the next year and a half a great memorable time! Also his brother Mike has been living with us as well, and he sure keeps things entertaining with his stories of dating and college life! We have a full house of people and it's been such a pleasure having family so close within our walls.
I started back to work a few weeks ago. It honestly helps me feel more of a balance in my life. Whenever I am home I get more done and I spent more quality time with my family! I really really miss my kiddos but luckily they're with their daddy spending quality time a few hours before bedtime. And it's only every other week, it works out very well!
Yay!! Blake is over his colicky phase!! Now he is such a little ham. He will laugh at anything and will just smile at you first thing in the morning. But he still hates his car seat odd enough! He goes to sleep between 9:30- 10:00, and will wake up once or twice to eat during the night. And Jack and Blake now have the same nap time! YAY- don't know how that worked out, but I am pretty excited about it :)

Jack is still his wild self. He wants to be outside every waking minute! Basketball is still his favorite thing, he will sit for a long time shooting baskets on his basketball hoop. That or playing with balls of any kind! He is learning words so fast now, it is so much fun being able to talk to him and communicate. He is so entertaining!


I know it sounds way early, but Jack and Blake already have such a bond. Blake beams every time he sees Jack and will just watch him with such admiration it seems. And Jack is always wanting to lay next to him and place all his toys on his belly or near him to share. When Blake is sleeping he says, "Baby night night... shhhhh". He will just sit by him and rub his belly, it's way too cute!














Blake and his grandma.





Jack loves hats. Anyone he finds he just puts it right on!










Having two really is so much more fun! You may not get as much sleep, but I am loving every mintue of it!




Ta Ta for now!
