Hey mommy I got dressed... ta da!!!

Who is who??? 02/03/2009

____ saw the attention his brother was getting for putting his shirt on so he found a shirt and put it on. Nice shorts.
_____ wanted to wear a skirt, but couldn't find one. This shirt will have to do.

OMG they are so Identical. If I didn't know who was wearing what I would have gotten their names wrong. Wait they are both wearing red shirts. A picture says a thousand words. We are getting so big, we are trying to dress ourselves. It is so cute to see them growing up.

Answer: shorts=ben, skirt=JT.

We picked out our breakfast this morning

On 01/20/2009 we snuck into the pantry and picked us some food to eat. Are we still "Gerber Babies" or what???

Ben chose sweet potatoes because that was all that was left after JT.

JT had first choice and he chose peaches.

We are 27 months old, is that too old for stage 3 baby food??? We don't think so.

trying something new

The picture for the warning label on the box for all of the moms out there.

They look like they are into it this is the initial photo of them eating their yummy oatmeal.

The picture for the advertisement.

On 12/12/2008 I thought the boys were tired of the same old breakfast so I decided to try something new and healthy. My favorite flavor of oatmeal. The middle picture shows the initial picture of them eating the Yummy Oatmeal the top picture shows JT's mess, and the bottom picture shows the advertisement they look like they like it right (this one is after JT poured it on the floor). So for my Birthday I got to clean up Oatmeal and oh yes go to Tony Roma's for ribs. The best part was the ribs.

"I me" and "me boys"

Jonathan has finally put 2 words together, okay besides the ever most famous "two shoes." You should just see how he says it as he points to himself he says "I me" or in other words I = me. What a great discovery for him in the English language. I was thinking about how he says I me and I realized "me boys," me = boys, my boys are my pride and joy I love them so much. Try the "I me" thing say me or I and then something that defines who you are one word.... Another word I think I taught him is mine, not a good word to teach a twin that is expected to share things. The boys are doing great, they are still on a word count. They are to see their pediatrician in March. I haven't written any new words down since their last visit in November, I guess I better get started. Benji knows a choice word which we are trying to replace with aah bananas, and daddy is trying not to say that word because Benji repeats him like a record player. JT is repeating so many words which is exciting. Benji doesn't really want to talk. Any ideas on trying to get rid of Pacifiers, I know they would talk more if they were gone. I almost got them to give them to baby Liam, but daddy wasn't ready for the crying and the insanity. When Daddy goes to school 40 hrs a week starting in May I plan to get rid of pacifiers and potty train (I'm tired of buying pacifiers & diapers and we are down to 3 pacifiers.)

Trunk or Treat

Super"thans"

Last Year at the Trunk or treat with Uncle Jeremiah and Aunt Alida.

Bat"mins"

Aren't we so cute.

Jared and I went trunk or treating with the boys. Boy what a difference a year makes. Last year we went with Jeremiah and Alida's family, but they moved so we went to our ward this year. I decided to recycle costumes because I couldn't figure out what I wanted the boys to be for Halloween. Last year Ben was Super"mins" and Jon was Bat"thans". So we just changed costumes. Jon became Super"thans" and Ben was Bat"mins". I guess in this case it was good to have Identical twin boys. The 3t-4t costumes fit this year, but next year there is no way they will fit.

Two hair cuts for my two big 2 year olds.

ON October 20th we had our second hair cut.

As you can see our curls are gone. Mommy and Daddy don't know what to do, we don't even recognize our own kids. They are big boys now and so handsome. I wasn't planning on getting their second haircut done until JT was called a cute little girl in the hospital as he was pushing his shopping cart with a baby doll in it. Maybe it wasn't the curls, but I got so tired of correcting them on him being a boy. Can't boys push shopping carts with dolls??? Also after I got my hair cut Benji was brushing his hair with his hands as if it was his turn to comb his hair. What better time to cut a kids hair when he is interested and going to cooperate. Sherona said she would cut their hair, yeah they did so well. JT was a little tired so he didn't stay in the chair as long, but overall they did great. I don't know how the underline came to be so I can't turn it off sorry.

Toddler Beds

Our new bed.
How do the monkeys get out of their bed, here is how see....

Monkeys climbing out of the bed.

My monkeys jumping on the bed.

The boys and grandma, they have claimed their bed for the night.

The boys have been climbing out of their bed so I changed them to toddler beds on Tuesday the 21st. Here are some pictures of the change. I still have yet to have them fall asleep in them at night. I also rearranged the room(not shown in the picture). They do like their beds better without the rails, but they think that their bed is the couch. I think they would love me to pull the couch bed out every night. They thought the couch bed was their trampoline and their bed when grandma and grandpa were here. Oh by the way do you notice our new big 2 year old boy haircuts, we got them on Monday the 20th aren't we so cute. I will post before and after pictures if I can figure out how to down load from my phone. And yes we do miss those curls.
