Cleaning

I am finding that there is always something that needs to be cleaned. Today we had our carpets cleaned. WOW! They look great and make the house seem so much cleaner. All the toys were loaded in the kitchen so I went through them and cleaned out and organized. These boys have way too many toys!
I took Ryan to My Gym today and he loved it. Each week he gets more and more into it. Today he was doing the motions to the songs they sing each week. This afternoon I took both boys back for a Free Play hour. Jason enjoyed it there today. Daddy met us there and boy did we have fun. It turned out we were the only ones that showed up so we had the place to ourselves. Ryan loves the TRAMPOLINE! Waiting for a turn is something Ryan needs help with. I will try to remember to take some pictures the next time we go.

Wow, long time!

I almost forgot that I even had a blog. Things get so busy that the last thing I think of doing is writing on here.
Summer has been going well. The boys do miss going to the day care every day so I am trying to get them there 2 days a week. When they are home with me things are good and then they decide to fight over everything. I thought they would be too young for that but I guess I was wrong.
The boys already had one vacation, OCMD. Ryan loved it! The first day or two he wanted to stay far away from the water but by the last day I had a crying child when he was taken away from the water. Jason wanted nothing to do with the beach. In his mind the water and the sand were the main problems. It is hard for me to believe because I am his mother and the beach is the best place on earth! Hopefully he will differently when we go to North Carolina.
We are headed to Exton for the 4th of July weekend. I am pushing the boys in a 5k on Saturday morning while Andy runs a 10k. I find it funny that Andy can run so well but as soon as he would have to push the double jogger, he can't do it. So I am stuck with it. It's okay with me, helps build arm muscles too. I really don't mind it when the boys are getting along. When they fight, I run as fast as possible to get it done!

This is the one smile Jason gave us on the beach, in a week!

Forever

I know it has been forever since I posted on here. Not really sure why except that I am busy. Anyway, things have been good. Ryan got his tonsils out Monday. He was doing really well but today we have taken a few steps backwards. He will NOT he or drink. He spit stuff in my face and says no to all food, which is very unlike him. We will keep trying and I am sure he will give in at some point. I need to get some new pictures up here soon

Dressing the Boys cute!

This picture is from over a month ago, Valentine's Day! I got some pictures on the computer today so I wanted to post them. I will also try to post a video of Jason. Not sure if I know what I am doing. I love to dress the boys alike because I think they look so cute. Andy does not like this but goes with it, knowing it will happen anyway. I do not do it often since Jason is normally wearing Ryan's hand-me-downs. This weekend we had a great time. We ran some errands Sat. morning, went to a party Sat. night, breakfast this morning and to Target. The boys did great and really had a lot of fun! You have to admit, they do look cute in these matching outfits! Hopefully this is the video of Jason doing the inch worm, he is coming to get the St. Patty's Day necklace!

Time Flies

Sorry no updates in almost a month. I can't even remember what we have been doing. We did go to visit "home" this weekend which was great. Ryan was not happy to come back to our house. He kept telling me he wanted to go bye-bye. I think he was wishing he was still with his grandparents. Jason has started to army crawl so I am sure he will be moving quickly in no time. I will have to get some pictures of it. I can't believe he is already over 9 months old. We are beginning to think about the summer, the birthday bash for our boys and all the fun things to do in the summer. I know we still have a few months but I love the warm weather and cannot wait to be outside with the boys. I think they will be wearing me out!

4 Day Weekend

The boys and I have a 4 day weekend and I am gonna love it. I miss spending my days with them. I can't wait to dance and sing and be goofy all day. Not a hard task for me! Ryan's Mimi and Pop-pop Tom are coming for a visit so Ryan will be in his glory.

Ryan loves to get into the babyfood cabinet and empty it onto the floor or onto the table. It keeps him busy for a very long time and as many times as I say no, he ends up winning. The smarty seems to realize when I am changing Jason's diaper I cannot stop him right away. What a smart kid!




Hope you all have a Happy Valentine's Day!

Busy Week

Ryan was not too sure about the snow. He was still in his PJ's but Jason went down for a nap so I had to make good use of the time. As you can see his boots are actually rain boots. He did not like walking in them and actually cried after being outside for less than 5 minutes. He has gotten use to wearing his boots. He liked playing in the mud this past weekend.


Jason was so tired at dinner the other night, I didn't think he would be able to stay up. But, like his brother, he likes food too much to miss out on a meal for sleep.

Ryan has now started to climb in the toy box and sit and play. It cracks me up. The first time he did it he looked at me waiting for me to tell him no, I just laughed. He is such a goofball!!!!

Last will be a bunch of pictures, Ryan's first haircut. He did well!

Catch Up

I am now playing catch up. Things here are of course busy, as always. I finally had time to upload some pictures.
So as you can see we are all Eagles fans in this household. Things were not too happy when they played so bad. Ryan loves to say the word "fooBALL" and points to the picture of one in his room every morning. I guess he now has about 6 months to wait to see a game played again!
I can't believe that Jason is already 8 months. He has finally decided to roll to get the toys he wants and now will sit up for a given amount of time. When he is tired of sitting up he just falls back. I hope he quickly learns how to fall without banging his head each time.
As you can see my boys already get the concept of climbing on eachother and "wrestling". Thank goodness it is mostly laughs right now but I am sure that will change as they get older!!!! Promise to post again this week!!!!!!! I do have more pictures all ready to go!!!!

Sunday Night Blues

Just a quick picture of Andy and I at the Disney Marathon weekend. We were at the Friday night Pasta Dinner for the AT Children's Project. We had a great time and I will get more pictures up soon!
We had a nice weekend, it was busy but we enjoyed it. So I sit here on a Sunday night and wish I could turn back time to start the weekend over. I can't believe how quick the time goes.
I have already been back to work for two weeks. Things are going fine but there is never enough time to get everything done! I know everyone feels that way.

The Friday before Christmas.

Jason holding his own bottle for the first time, actually holding it and drinking from it, not playing.


First bath together.


I know there are plenty more pictures to share but I will do that later!

I stink at Blogging!

So I have figured out that I stink at this blogging thing. Not sure what my problem is. I am busy but should be able to get on here a few times a week to blog. I will try to do better. We have been so busy since the last time I was on.
Christmas was wonderful and the boys were spoiled. Andy and I went to a wedding. Then Andy and I headed to Florida for the Marathon Weekend to do our run for the AT Children's Project. It was a quick and tiring few days. Andy did great in the 1/2 marathon, finishing in under 2 and a half hours. Real good for only running twice in the last year, huh? Kinda makes you sick. I had been training and then the cold weather came and life became even more hectic. So training for me stopped at the beginning of November. Not a good idea! Remind me of that next year. I am going to post a bunch of pictures and hope to be on again by the end of the week.

Well, for some reason it is not letting me post pictures, of course!!!!!!!!!
I will try again later!
