Summer is finally here!

The news says the hot days are coming! I'm excited to have some warm weather, but I don't know if Blake and Jordan will like it. Thank goodness we have an air conditioner in our bedroom, I can always put them in there if it's getting too warm for them.

The boys still are not quite sleeping through the night yet. They both will sleep through a feeding, but they just don't sleep through the same feeding... I think they are working towards a set schedule for naps too, so that will be nice.

Yesterday we made our lunch and set a little table out on the sidewalk and ate outside. It was sunny but a little breezy, so it was not super warm. I brought Jordan out in the garage and he took a nap in the pack-n-play. Sometimes it's hard to get any time with Brooke and Devin outside.

We are getting ready to go camping for the 4th of July weekend. Jason's mom is going to watch Blake and Jordan for us. I think she's getting a little nervous... We are really excited go with just Brooke and Devin. Last year was still a little hard with Devin. He is no longer taking naps :( so that will make it a little easier. I was hoping he would nap until he went to kindergarten!

Devin has been telling me that I am awesome or amazing lately, it's so fun. But then he's also telling us he doesn't love us when he's mad at us.

They got to go to a friends house and play for a few hours this AM. I don't know what to do with myself. I have so much that needs to be done, I could take a nap, read, take a shower, pull some weeds, wash and fold clothes, clean the house.... I don't know what I'm going to do. I better go do it though so I don't waste any time! More updates and pictures later! :)

Happy Birthday Brooke!

We celebrated Brooke's 5th Bday on Saturday (6/21). This was the first birthday where she invited a group of her school friends (as well as a couple cousins). She wanted a "girl" party and to watch High School musical 2. There were 8 girls, mostly from her preschool class, and 2 boys (Devin and cousin Brendan).

Brooke told me she did not want the boys to watch the movie with them because it was girl time. They only ended up watching about 15 minutes of the movie. Brooke's favorite part of the party was the purse making activity.

Enjoy the show (mostly of brooke's party, but many other picts as well) To view photos, click on slideshow.

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to all you Dad's! I know it's been almost a month since our last update, sorry about that. The boys are awake more now, they are also rolling over from their tummy's to their backs and trying to go the other way but haven't gotten there yet. They are cooing a lot and playing with their hands and chewing on them. They are just starting to notice each other, so that will be a lot of fun to see them talking to each other.
They had their 4 months check up on Friday. Jordan is now 12 lbs 12 1/2 ozs and Blake is 12 lbs 5 ozs. They both are doing really well and growing big. We are having fun taking lots of pictures!
Brooke will be 5 on Wednesday, she wants to have a "High School Musical" party. High School Musical is a Disney movie Brooke loves, so she wants to watch the movie and play some games. She's very excited. She said when she's 16 she's going to have a Hannah Montana party!
I'm trying to get Devin excited about potty training...so far NO good! I told him we can get some M&M's at the store and he can have one every time he goes potty on the big boy potty. He said "no"...then I said we could buy him a very special present when he learned to go potty on the big boy potty and he said "no." I asked him if he had to throw away his diapers or his binkies which would he throw away? He said "my binkies!" I think I'm in for a long summer. I wanted to send Devin to preschool this fall, but I don't know if we will make it. Oh well, I know we'll get there eventually...right?!
Well, I will try to update more later and add some pictures also!
Good Night!
(Add On)
The boys are getting close to sleeping through the night. It will be so nice to sleep more than 2-3 hours at a time again!!!! They still wake up once a night, and then wake up early but will go back to sleep with just their binkies. I think we will be putting them in their own cribs soon also. They are moving around a lot more and squirming into each other while they are sleeping. The Dr said we could start feeding them solids soon also if we like. In a way I'm not looking forward to that, it's one more new thing to get used to times two! Oh well, we'll get through it like everything else...
