I cannot believe it has been so long since I have posted anything but with the holidays and my boys being sick for what seems like forever, I have been so busy! One of my New Year's resolutions is not only to lose some weight (isn't that everyone's?) but also to write more. I am going to try to post on my blog every Monday, Wednesday and Friday (or thereabout) and to work on my new book! I had this insane dream a few weeks ago and decided that it would be a great book idea. So, I started writing my third book recently, although it has been hard to work on it much with sick kids and a teething eight month old. Not to mention, my little brother got married! Trent was the ring bearer and (gasp), he actually walked down the aisle! For those of you who know Trent, you know that he is quite shy and he doesn't like when people stare at him so no one thought he would make it down the aisle without my having to pick him up! He shocked us all when he did it all by himself and he did it all with his eyes closed! He thinks that if he closes his eyes, no one can see him so as soon as he saw everyone staring at him, he closed his eyes and walked the rest of the way blind! Here is the picture to prove it...
Anyhow, now that I am back and it has been so long, I thought I would do a quick update on how everyone is doing...
Trent is doing great! I cannot believe that he will be three in three more months. He is getting so tall and handsome; he no longer looks like a baby (which kind of breaks my heart). He is also getting incredibly smart. He can say his ABC's and count to 20 like it's nothing. His temper tantrums are easing up a bit which I attribute to the fact that we can actually have conversations now and understand each other. He still has his meltdowns when he wants something that I won't give him but he is getting so much better. The child still won't poop on the potty (he waits until his nighttime diaper is on) but he takes his pants off and goes pee all by himself whenever the mood strikes him. Thank goodness he has stopped playing in his poop; that was disgusting and well, messy. He also still wants to be naked all of the time! We are trying to keep clothes on him but he despises them!
Jagger is getting so big! He almost weighs as much as Trent which means that he is really large and Trent is really skinny! He screams Mama constantly and is trying his hardest to crawl. He is still the happiest baby on the planet but he has officially started the stage where he wants me all the time. He went from sleeping through the night at 6 weeks old to waking up about 4 times a night now so I am exhausted but he is so cute. Like Trent he loves to dance and the two rock out to the slightest hint of music. Apparently, he ate a hair of mine because when I changed his diaper the other day, part of my hair was coming out of his you know what and I actually had to pull the entire thing out. It was disgusting but funny! He has officially discovered his man parts and the second I take his diaper off, his hand shoots down to his junk. My dad loves to remind me that it's normal and his hand will be there for the rest of his life ;)
Mark is doing great. He kicked ass at work and made President's Club which means that his work is sending us to St. Thomas the first of March and we can't wait. He also shot a ginormous elk which he is having mounted. Silly man thinks that huge head is going to be mounted in the family room! The antelope head currently mounted in the dining room is enough, trust me.
Here are a few pictures to catch everyone up on the boys. Enjoy!
Happy Thanksgiving!
