Terrific Twos times Two!!!

Wow, I have a lot of catching up to do.  

These two little monkeys, crazies, stinkers, etc.have made me laugh, cry, laugh, cringe, sigh, gain weight, laugh, worry and have worn me out!!!  I love them.  They are sweet, funny, crazy, loving, cuddly, happy, mischievous, best friends and two of the funnest kids around.  There is not a day that I don't thank my Heavenly Father for the interesting life they have created for me, for our family.  

For Halloween I couldn't think of a better costume than 

Thing 1 and Thing 2 from the Dr. Seuss books.  I was the Cat in the Hat and Chad was the Grinch!  It was great, we got lots of laughs and funny comments.  Chayce and Chandler were pretty good sports about it.  Blue hair and all.

 I am getting braver at running errands with the three.  Nicholas, Chayce and Chandler love to GO!  We don't go very often but when we do it's fun for all!!

 Church continues to be an AWESOME experience.  Every week is different.  Some are better than others, but what is consistent is that they love to go!  They do enjoy nursery, just not at the beginning.  They cry every time for just a minute and then they love it!  

 Chayce is often found feeding Chandler.  They love Chips and Guacamole.

 Christmas was fun.  They hated Santa Clause.  Liked their toys and LOVED the candy.

 They both continue to torment their big brother Nicholas.  In fact for Nicholas' birthday we told him that he could have a morning with out his brothers.  We let him lock himself into his bedroom and play with his new toys.  The boys were not happy about this.  But Nicholas SO deserved the "alone time".

  

A big mile stone that happened was...NO MORE CRIB!  And no more bed for that matter.  We had to get rid of the cribs because the babies were crawling out of them and it became dangerous.  So now they have a room with just mattresses. All three boys share this room and it is a PARTY every night!  They lay next to their door and yell "mooommmmyyy or ddaaaaddddyyy" which echos through out the house.  Or they kick the walls, over and over and over again (while laughing hysterically.   It's awesome!!

But eventually they fall asleep...ahhh how cute!

 They recently celebrated their 2nd Birthday!  I can't believe how time has flown...most days.  Now I have Two Terrible Twos.  We love them and the "life and energy" they bring...most days.  

 I have come to realization that my "clean" house will have to wait, my exercise and weight loss will have to wait, my quiet and calm home will have to wait, my decorating dreams will have to wait...and it's all 

Worth the Wait!!

Sometimes they will combine these words into sentences.  

They do lots and lots of giggling, laughing, wrestling, head stands, kisses, cuddles, loves, jumping, stomping and eating.  They LOVE Peanut Butter and Chandler LOVES anything sweet.  They really are sweet boys who are so happy!  They bring lots of joy and fun into our home.  So grateful for the last two years.  I can't even begin to imagine what the next years will bring.  BUT it will be AWESOME I am sure.
