Wow...three months and no blogging. As afore mentioned, I am the worst with this stuff. I feel like anytime I sit down at the computer too much of my time is sucked away, so I avoid it in general. Anyway, lots has happened, which will be shared primarily through pictures. Since my last post, we celebrated my b-day up in Half Moon Bay, CA (it was amazing!!) right there on the coast, we had a fun trip to Utah (Katherine's surprise 30th b-day Stake Dance Party), and enjoyed a great Halloween. You'll see my little Wesley isn't so little anymore. He's SO darling. I can't stop kissing either of these boys. I was telling my mom the other day that I've never been so happy. Motherhood is the greatest blessing.
Well, little Jack is trying to master the potty little by little. I was laughing to myself the other day at how being a mom is anything but glamorous. I love wiping up my kid's dung (the stuff that doesn't quite make a clean drop), his pee on the wood floor...sweet. So funny. And yet, I love what I'm doing. Things that Jack has said that crack me up:
Me: "Jack, want to go to the park?"
Jack: "Yeah mom. That would be amazing!"
Me: "Jack, you need to stop getting so big. It's making me sad."
Jack: "No mom, it can make you happy in your face." (with a super high-pitched voice to encourage my happiness)
Jack (first thing one morning): "Hmmm Mom, what do we do today? The toy store or McDonalds?" (I love his clever little mind...just giving me my 2 options)
Jack (one morning getting ready for church): "You look pretty mom. You getting married?"
Jack (at breakfast): "Mom, I just want toast and chocolate milk. Just toast and not butter. Butter is too dangerous for me." (I have no idea where he got that, but it made me laugh).
Jack: "Mom, I want to watch Mermaid. Don't say no. Say yes, like Nephi." (We've been learning about how Nephi always had a good attitude and said yes when asked to do things).
Yeah, life is pretty amazing with these sweet little boys. We sure love them. Hope everyone is doing well. I love peeking in on your blogs and seeing your beautiful families. Until 2009! Just kidding...maybe.

This is the cutest video ever of Jack making Wes laugh. It was back at the beginning of September. Way too precious.

I'm dying too! Loved all the pics and loved Jack's little sayings...are you kidding me? So so cute, and great to see pics of cute Kat too. Love that last picture. Way too darling, dude.
So cute! I love all the pictures. I bet you just adore having two little boys. (I loved reading what you wrote write before your second was born, they were my exact thoughts before having my second, like "How can I do this to my little angel, we have our whole little world figured out as a twosome?" But of course, love knows no bounds and I can't imagine not having Ellie around). My two little girls are exactly two years and one day apart, and I'm so entrenched in the world of girls (not unlike the one I grew up in!) I'm kinda terrified to have a boy (but really do hope to next time around!)

Hah. I knew if I said something about your blog you would do it. Just kidding. Love the photos. Your little Wes is so darling. Your boys are looking more and more alike. Brandon doesn't say as much as Jack but he is talking now and I love to hear his little voice. Love you.

Oh man. Could my Spanish be any worse? I think I made up a few new words in there. ha ha. That's about all I can do without Tyler here. Seeing the Spanish on this page just got my mind thinking Latina for a minute, and I couldn't resist!
Seriously though - Loved the update! Great pics! And Jack's little sayings were so fun to read. I'm glad you're loving motherhood so much. What a blessing to have a beautiful, healthy, and happy family!
