Still Going Strong

I have to admit I almost want to have another baby just to see if he or she would look the same as these two!

Oh Jayboy

May 4, 2012 - Jay with a weird rash forming.

Here are the latest funny things out of Jay's mouth:

After asking Jay if Joe was funny, if I was funny, if boys were funny, if girls were funny, etc. and having him answer yes to all of them, I asked him, "So everyone's funny? Who isn't funny?" He responded, "Grandma."

After coming home from the store with Joe...
Jay: "Daddy and I got Jewel Binkies (Ring Pops) but not one for you."
I frowned.
Jay: "Mommy, I wanted one for you."
In other words, Joe did not.

Jay is sitting at the table sipping his apple juice with a spoon and says, "Ah, much nectar for me. I was hungry for it all day long."

He's been calling tomatoes "to-mah-toes".

At the table to get him to eat sometimes we say, "Take a brachiosaurus bite!" And he proceeds to shove the food into his mouth like a wood chipper. Well one day I was trying to get him to eat a turkey sandwich that he REALLY didn't want to eat. So I said, "Take a brachiosaurus bite!" and he responded (loudly, through tears), "But they don't eat meat!"

The other day Jay and Ty were playing in their room and laughing hysterically. I hear Jay sigh and say, "Oh man, Ty is cracking me out!"

Jay loves his little brother except when it comes to nighttime. Ty does not sleep well and wakes up screaming several times each night. Apparently this bothers Jay because the other day when I mentioned to Joe that maybe I would take Ty that night and sleep in another room Jay yelled out from the kitchen, "I'd be okay with that!"

I called Jay a "little man" a few days ago and he said, "I'm not little. I'm a big boy!" So I started to smooth that over by saying, "But I'm bigger than you so..." He interrupted me, "Yeah and Daddy's even bigger than you. He has the biggest body ever!"

Jay saying goodbye to his Daddy today:
"Bye, my Grandpa's son!"

A few minutes ago I was holding Ty and talking to Jay:
Me: "I have two good boys, don't I?"
Jay: "Yup!"
Me: "Who are my two good boys?"
Jay: "Ty and Daddy."

 Here's a video that we shot at the doctor's office when Jay developed a mysterious rash/hives. This was the first time he's ever rolled his tummy. It was pretty funny.

And some cute pictures:

Jay loves his Daddy!

Here's proof that this boy can sleep anywhere.

Jay got into some labels when I wasn't looking and turned himself into a skeleton.

Sometimes when I "misplace" my phone, I mysteriously find it with about a hundred pictures just like this.

 Jay is certainly a handful but he is a blast. We love this kid so much!

Race Day

Amy and I did the "Race For The Cure" last week in Salt Lake. It was really fun! I love my sister and we always have a great time hanging out with their family. Thanks Amy! (And for those of you who know her, doesn't she look amazing?!!)

Matchy Matchy

I usually roll my eyes when I see moms dress all their boys alike. You can get away with it for little girls but something feels a little "Von Trapp"ish about matching boys. Today, however, I broke the rules. Jay wanted to wear his "BSU" colored polo and I couldn't resist letting Ty wear his too. Well, call me Maria because this is just too cute!  

Ty is so sweet to share his finger with Jay!

 

Seriously, I might just dress them the same for the rest of their lives. Say goodbye to your social life boys!

Oh, I could eat them!

Now I'm off to find some curtains!

(In case you are confused about the curtains... don't worry, I often have to explain my humor to Joe as well. Finding curtains was my clever way of bringing home the "Sound of Music" theme. It's okay if you didn't get it. Don't be embarrassed. Watch the movie.)

A Very Happy Half-Birthday

Ty turned .5 a few days ago! 

That went so fast. He's such a sweet boy and we just adore him! 

I can't wait for all the fun things that we get to do as he gets older. I'm going to have to start baby-proofing the house again soon!

Goodbye Truck

 The time has come... Joe sold his truck.

It was a sad day. Joe has had this truck since before we met... he's had it since he "accidentally" bought it on ebay after his mission actually. 

Lots of memories in this truck. On our first date, we threw our bikes in the back to go riding, followed by driving up in the hills surrounding Boise and talking about our life goals. We later drove this truck to Southern Utah where Joe proposed in Zion National Park. This is also the truck where I chewed Joe out before we started dating and then he wouldn't talk to me for months!

And more recently, this is the truck that Jay loved to work with his Dad in. This is the night he said goodbye!

Hopefully it will be a place of memories for the next owner too! Bye, old friend.

Bend It Like Brady

 You would think that since I played soccer all growing up that I would have taken Jay out to play before now. But I realized a few weeks ago that I NEVER have. What is wrong with me?! So I bought him a ball last week and finally the weather was perfect today.

He's a natural!

 

We had a lot of fun. I hope he likes soccer because it is the one sport that I might influence/pressure/force him to play!

Joe thinks soccer is a girls' sport. Too bad I'm the one that's home with him all day. Darn it.

 He's gonna be good. I can tell.

Sorry Joe.
