Wii Boxing Boys

The boys beg Justin to Box all the time. Tonight they wanted me to play and I really didn't want to so I hooked them up to the Wii and let them ahve at it. They did pretty good. The video turned out pretty dark but I don't know how to change that.

My little boys are WILD. Mainly Braxton but Taylor has his moments too. Last night after bath Brax ran away from us and when we got to his room he had blocked the door with the slide and basketball hoop so we couldn't get in. What a clever kid. I had to take a picture of it. I was glad that it was a little blurry so that you couldn't see his nakedness :-)I have been packing a few boxes a day because next weekend we won't be here and the next week will be crazy with Justin's finals, family coming and graduation. There are more boxes behind the table that you can't see so I am pretty proud of what we have done. My walls are bare and we are running out of room in our dining room but we are excited to get it all done and be on our way!The most important box! Don't forget it!!

Fun weekend

Yesterday while we waited for Justin to come home we went out and played. It has been pretty nice here the last few days (supposed to get to 77 tomorrow and 78 Tuesday. NICE!)
Taylor and Braxton love being outside and can't stand being inside anymore. They cry when one of us leaves and doesn't take them outside with us! They love the play ground in our complex and love to run away from me.
Best picture I have gotten of the two of them together in a long time :-)Chasing each other up and down the little hill.TaylorBrax
After Justin got home we took the boys down to the law school to let them see the river and ducks. We didn't find any ducks but they loved throwing rocks into the fast moving river. Taylor has a new love for glasses. He loves to play with them and take them on and off. He kept these on the whole time we were out. STUD!Brax didn't love the glasses. He is our hat boy!
Last night we went out and celebrated our friends birthday and then came back and had cake. The kiddos bunked in our room and "watched" Beauty and the Beast. We have had a fun weekend and are not ready for this week to start.

Spreading like wildfire...

That's right people. That would be an ultrasound picture my boy is holding and yes it is mine :-) If you look really closely you may see the shocking news we got two weeks ago, on April Fool's Day. It is no joke though!
It is TWINS again!
Holy cow! Wow! Oh my heck! That's what went through our heads too but now that we have had a few weeks to digest it, we are thrilled. Especially when I heard the little heart beats at my appointment this morning. They are measuring just right at 7.5 weeks and growing strong each day. We know life is going to be crazy but we are excited (and nervous) for this adventure. They are due November 29 but the boys were three weeks early and we are assuming it will be the same with this set. Come early November our lives are going to change dramatically but we know that God is with us and has something special in store for these little babies.

The rest of the week...it's long

We had so much fun in Idaho last week. We ate lots of yummie food, played outside in the warm sun, and played as hard as we could. We are worn out and can't wait to come back :-) There are a lot of pictures in this post but I just couldn't choose a few.

Once they decided he was ok they wouldn't leave him alone.

Braxton jumping with Papa
After coming back from the river we went and saw all the fun big boy toys.
Braxton and Taylor loved this power wheel once they figured out how to drive it. They didn't understand the turning but they could push the gas and go!
Trying to get a good picture of Taylor man. Didn't work but he is still cute!
Grandma came and spent the weekend with us too!
Grandma hiding the Easter baskets. Careful Grandma!

Before the Easter egg hunt started, Taylor and Braxton cheated a little bit and grabbed the eggs and brought them to Papa to get the candy out. It didn't take them long to realize there was candy in each egg.

All the little boys got a lawn mower that blows bubbles. They had a blast with them inside and out!
Coloring Easter eggs. the boys were covered in dye but they had a great time!
We woke up Sunday morning and the boys found more eggs. They would pick up handfuls of real eggs and bring them to me to put in the carton. Only a few were lost! :-)
We also went down to Utah to spend some time with the Hatch clan. I didn't get any pictures but we went and saw WICKED at the Capitol Theater! AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME! The seats were amazing and the music, I love it even more now. Saturday we went to brunch at Little America. It was so yummie. Thanks for a great time there too! Wish I would have pulled out my camera!

Last night in Idaho

We are so sad to be leaving Idaho tomorrow morning but are excited to return home to finish off our time in Spokane. We will be back in Idaho one more time before graduation (the weekend before) for Clark's mission farewell and then we will be moving to ...
UTAH. That's right! Justin will be employed and we are thinking that we will live in South Jordan (still up in the air) but we found a place that we loved. We are so excited that this job worked out. Justin interned for them last summer and loved every minute of it. We are truley blessed to get this and can't wait for the next step in our lives!!
As for tomorrow, here comes a LONG car ride (7.5 hours). Hope the boys are ready for it!! I am not!

Had to copy Mom...

Loving Idaho


Brax reading with Chad
Taylor Bug
Pushing the strollers and shopping in the cupboards. They love the pudding boxes.
We love being in Idaho with our families. We have had a great time since we have been here and the boys love all the attention they are getting. They even are loving Chad :-) They usually keep their distance from him but this trip they are following him where ever he goes. 
We celebrated my birthday and I got spoiled! Thanks everyone for the fun presents. I got my camera money, a new diaper bag, makeup and a massage! Spoiled!! 
Justin had to go home on Sunday and we are missing him but we are still trying to enjoy ourselves! :-) It has been warm the last few days so we have been playing outside and loving it! Too bad I didn't bring any summer clothes. More fun pictures to come this week...

All packed and ready to go...

I am not sure if I am ready for the long (7.5 hours) car ride but me and the boys are all packed and so ready to be home for a few weeks. We can't wait to see everyone.
Justin has a few job interviews in Idaho this week and one in Utah next week. We are excited for what this may bring! MOVING CLOSER TO HOME!!
We have loved Spokane but we are ready to be close to our families.
I am also going to WICKED next Friday! I have waited so long to see this show and am so excited! I will be listening to the music all week so I can sing along! :-) I am really not one of those people.
And just because I don't like to leave a post without a picture... My brave boys going down the slide!
