So life lately has been GREAT and AHHHH (pull my hair out). We have lots of fun and I love my boys to pieces! But then things will happens that just makes me want to scream... I guess that's called
MOTHERHOOD!

Spencer is so Happy and Smiley most of the time!! He pulls himself up to everything! Right now though poor kid is teething. I can see that he is getting at least 4 teeth... top side teeth, a bottom molar (maybe more than one) and I think he might be getting the bottom side teeth too. This explains his
TERRIBLE sleeping. He has been getting up twice a night lately and it is so hard.

Also a hazard of motherhood...
POOP! I am usually good with messy diapers, Timothy has so many a day that I really need to get on the ball and Potty train him! Spencer's are smelly but not too bad, unless... it explodes! Yes, that is poop all down his leg. That is probably the messiest blowout ever. Don't worry, I washed EVERYTHING (including the floor!)And a couple days ago he had another blowout that was just all over him. Staight to the bath he went. Oh what fun!

Timothy loves his bear and blankets and is starting to show his imagination more and more all the time. He was so excited to sit bear in his Booster!

Spencer crawls all over and is FAST! I love it!

BEST Spencer face ever! This is is new expression that I realized he copied from me! I make this face at him when I'm excited. Apparently it was worth imitating!
Spencer, you are so cute! I love you!
GO BYU COUGARS! We are obviously BYU fans and love watching football games! Me and Timothy had fun making this BYU Victory cake (before) the USU game! I think that it turned out to be the best idea!(considering they had an AWESOME last minute win!!) And to add a little fun, and make the frosting more blue, I added kool-aid powder... it was fruity, YUM!

I made a goal to keep my table/kitchen clean! And believe it , or not, I have! I have kept my table looking like this for over a week! As soon as our meal is over, I clear off, wipe down, and dry our table, then replace the center piece. It is
AMAZING the difference I feel with keeping it clean! and my kitchen has been almost as good. Loading and unloading the dishwasher daily really helps. So, that is my huge
SUCCESS for the week!
Also, thanks to my friend for coming over for a play-date! Because you were coming over I got my whole house "Clean" and picked up! I love a clean house!

Timothy is such an adventurous boy! He runs from here to there all day long! He loves going outside (whether I'm ready to or not) and play with the neighbor dog. He falls and gets right back up. So many people comment about hos tough and brave he is! And HE really is, I am so grateful that when he falls, he stands up and just brushes it off. Only occasionally does he let it hurt him. Yesterday, he was running on our neighbors deck, tripped and fell face first off the deck and into the rocks, flipping on his was over. His face got scraped up (as you can see), and cried hard (for good reason), but then he as able to move on. We went for a bike ride and he forgot all about it.

Yesterday, after Family Home Evening, we went to the Library to return some books. We went to the kids section to let the boys play for a bit and, lucky us, they were doing "Make and Take" crafts! Timothy, not usually one to sit and do something like this, was really excited and started making his necklace! Out of nowhere he started calling it his "roller-coaster", so here he is wearing his roller-coaster! He loves it and even went to bed with it!
Oh Timothy, I love you! You are such fun!
That was pretty much updates on my kids... I guess I should share a bit about me and Robby!
Robby works hard everyday at UIS in Lindon! He is the best dad ever and a wonderful husband who helps me so much! I LOVE you Robby! He also keeps busy with is calling at church.
I keep busy with my kids and house and keep lazy with my tv and computer... I'm terrible, I know! I love my calling with the Bears in Cub Scouts! I live for our weekly playgroup and story time at the library, just so I can get out of the house and visit with adults!
We are looking at houses and hope to buy one! We have on offer in.. so we'll see how that goes!
I am also contemplating potty training as Jackson has sometimes 4 or 5 poopy diapers a day (maybe I need to have him lay off the fiber?) and way to go on your kitchen! I find my mood is directly related to the cleanliness of my home. I am stressed often. :)
