Sunday Fun Version 10.14.2012

 Charlie and Adella pretty much force me to be up and ready for church early.   In fact if I am not at church 15 minutes early Adam has been known to call just to make sure everything is going OK!   So on this particular Sunday we headed outside for a little fun before church.  The weather was gorgeous and new clothes were being sported so we just had to get out!

This one picture sums up these guys personalities perfectly!  

High chair!

Officially in high chairs now!  We had to move out of the other seats because our little Houdini's figured out to climb out (even with the tray on).    

We got lucky and found matching wood high chairs on craigslist (less than $50 for both!).  One was pretty beat up - Adam completely stripped it, sanded it and re-stained it and it looks great now!     

I'm a magician

I'm constantly amazed by what makes my babies happy.   For some reason toys are WAY more exciting when they are stacked on top of something else.   Toys on the floor?  Meh.   Toys on a box - MAGIC!!

Crazy visitors

Last week we had some fun visitors!  Ann and Fonree brought their kids over to play and swim.   Well, we were pretty sure they wouldn't swim but we cleaned the pool anyway.   But wouldn't you know despite the fact that it was maybe 80 degrees (that's pretty darn cool in AZ) they still got in!   And not only that, they got in TWICE!  Before and after lunch.  Crazy, crazy kids!

Sunday Fun Version 10-7-12

First off excuse the lack of clothes on these babies!     These were the only Sunday pictures we got that day - being conference weekend we didn't get 'dressed up' to go to church and were too busy relaxing and enjoying family to get any great pictures!  But after the fact I am really glad we got these pictures.

I've mentioned before that these two can be so silly at night, but they were extra crazy this night.  They kept standing up and laughing hysterically at each other. I don't know if it's that they are standing facing each other or what, but whatever it is they think it's hilarious.    Our usual bedtime routine is to get them fed, changed, PJ's on, read some scriptures, pray, give kisses and then sing some songs to help calm them down.   Well this night they just wanted to laugh.  Even after the lights went out all they would do was laugh.  I finally gave up singing after a few minutes and left the room.   And a MIRACLE occurred  they fell asleep.  ON THEIR OWN!  Not one scream, not one fuss, no losing of the pacifier.  Nothing.  Lots of laughs and then dead asleep.   It was so strange (and has not happened again sadly).  But for that night it was awesome and perfect!   I love that they have so much fun together and can make each other laugh.   It really is the best sound in the world!
