Boston Being SOOO Cute with Dadda

These pictures make me laugh - Boston was being so cute and watching Andy shave and trim his beard and decided that he would let dadda put shaving cream on his face. Then shortly after he had it on his face he was whinning to get it off because, in his words, "it burns!!". I guess the menthol in the shaving cream was making his face burn - even though it actually makes it feel cool :) - The other picture was me trying to take a picture of Boston in the morning when he came in and I was just finishing feeding Scarlett. He doesn't really like to take pictures lately and does his weird smile - but here he was playing a shy game with me and I couldn't resist not taking a picture of him.. haha he's so silly :)

Family Party and Back to work!!

My Brother, Yury came into town for a visit from Seattle, WA and while he was in town on business we got together for a family dinner and to celebrate Tate's Birthday :) HAPPY BIRTHDAY TATE!! It was really great to see everyone, even Chandy and Casey came up from Plain City to celebrate and see Yury. Chandy just had her Gaul Bladder out the week before the celebration so she wasn't quite 100% yet. Yury seemed to really be enjoying himself in Seattle and liked his new office and the people that he worked with. It seems like a really nice place to live and I wouldn't mind living there :)

Here's a picture of my mom getting the birthday cake ready for the kids



Here is my dad and Yury hanging out talking after dinner was over. It's so much fun just to sit around and talk with everyone, to laugh and tease each other. It really was a great night and we sure to miss Yury and Caryn and their kids!!

So back to work I goooooo... da da da.. it was really hard going back to work the first week.. and well, still is hard. It's hard to keep focus at work when all I want to do is know what's going on at home with the kids at night. We found a new babysitter, her name is Danielle. She has two twin boys that are 4 years old (Logan and Jayde) and then two older girls that are both in school all day 7 and 9 I believe. By the looks of their room they are really into Hannah Montana :) haha silly girls. I wonder what crazy thing Scarlett and Boston will be in when they get a little older.

The first day dropping Scarlett and Boston off was really hard.. My mom called me on the way to work and I almost lost my nerve.. turned around and said screw this madness!!! But I held my wits and got to work in one piece with only a few tears shed. Sad that you have to leave such little tiny things to be looked after by some stranger in hopes that all will go well and nothing horrible will happen while you're gone. But on the up side of things, I have a job and I have income coming in and I am grateful for that!! It was hard to go back to work, I have a new manager and a couple new members on the team. Things have of course changed a lot, including processes and policies. So needless to say, I am still catching up on some things, but other things came back to me really quickly and I was happy for that.

Here's Scarlett hanging out on her play mat.. she loves this thing to death!

Here's Scarlett and Boston - Boston just HAD to be in the picture with his sister and almost killed her trying to get under the play mat to be with her. Don't you love his goofy new smile.. hahah just kidding, I hate it .. grrr - this is how he will smile know even if you try to get him to show his teeth or just do a normal smile.. I don't know what his deal is, he must think that he looks cute doing this or maybe he thinks it's funny that mom gets mad at him when he does it.. grrr

Tato bug with BIG BIG eyes.. I don't know what she was looking at.. I think the blinds from the window across from her.. she digs horizontal lines :)

Once again... Boston butting in and giving me that AWESOME smile.. hahaha - as you can see from Scarlett's expression, she thinks he a pretty big dork too.

New outfits, new jammies, and a new hair cut

Scarlett got some new clothes this week, you can kind of see them in the pictures towards the bottom. The froggy princess outfit. Boston got some new jammies in the mail from his aunt Crista. They are super cute and he loves them. He loves to get mail from his favorite aunt. Boston also got a new hair cut this week. I guess the long shaggy look is just never going to take. haha

The twins boys, Logan and Jayde, that Boston plays with while being babysat, let him borrow this little skate board for a day. So he had to get all of his knee pads and elbow pads on and skate around the house. It was so cute and he had so much fun. Now when he sees things on T.V. where people are doing skateboarding tricks, he thinks that they are cool!! It might be something fun for him to do this summer - maybe a Easter present?!?!

Scarlett is getting bigger!!

Scarlett just had her 2 month check up this morning and she is getting pretty big :) She's almost as big as Boston was at birth now haahah.. crazy. She is at 8 lbs 7 oz and is now a little over 21 inches long. So she's really long and pretty skinny still. I think that the only reason that she actually weighs as much as she does is because I just moved her over to formula and she is now actually getting a little bit more fat on her (thank goodness!!) Even though the fomula is harder on her belly and makes it hard for her to poop, she's getting bigger and sleeps better and is in general a better, happier baby girl :) - The doctor said that she's doing really well and that she has really good neck strength in holding up her head and that she has really great lungs - probably she was crying the entire time he was poking her with his tools hahaha. Maybe he had cold hands or something.

At the pediatricians they have the little bed that you set the babies up on and along the back of the bed (on the wall) they've put a wall, so when the babies are laying down they can see themselves in the mirror. Scarlett thinks that this is the coolest thing and gets pretty happy when she sees herself and feels the crunchy paper under her naked back and legs. The Doctor, Doctor Mumford, tells Boston that he has to watch the horses out the window to make sure they don't run away. This distracts Boston just long enough to be able to talk to me about what's going on and how things are. Boston asks Dr. Mumford at least 50 questions before we leave and he is extremely patient and kind to Boston and his social nature :)

Happy 2 month old birthday to MEEEE!!!

Today I turned two months old and here are a couple of things that I'm doing :)

- I'm able to hold my head up pretty well for a short period of time.

- I'm able to roll my body to the side and from the side onto my back, I'm a pretty strong little girl.

- I am starting to talk a little bit.

- My favorite place to be right now is my changing table or anywhere in my own bedroom. I just talk and smile and get so excited.

- I attrack all sorts of attention from my big brother. He loves to crawl all over me, sit under my play mat with me and make fun of my crying. Sometimes this hurts my feelings and makes me cry harder. Momma tells me just to ignore him and he'll stop trying to bug me, but it's really hard to do :)

- I have to get my immunization shots tomorrow and I'm a little scared but I'm excited to find out how much I weigh and how much bigger I am.
