Pics and Clips of us now...

I have come to realize that I have a terminal case of mommy brain and will likely never recover. So to compensate I must take as many pictures as possible and write everything down so I can have some memories further back than what I did yesterday. I learned with Alex that the infancy stage goes by way too fast so we took the boys out and got some pictures before it passed us by this time.

PICS.....

Just me and my babe :)

Fingers, Feet, and Faces.....all so tiny and cute!

I have never seen more love between siblings than I have with Alex and Liam. When I brought Liam home to Alex it didn't feel at all like an introduction but rather a long awaited reunion of best friends. I am so blessed to be their mother.

CLIPS.....

About Alex,

One day, after observing me for a while Alex sat down next to me as I was nursing Liam and asked " momma what are you doing?" I told him I was feeding Liam milk from my body. He then said "I want to taste your milk too." Feeling under prepared, my impromptu response was "well only babies with no teeth can drink my milk, you are such a big boy with sharp teeth you can eat yummy food." Thankfully that answer seemed to satisfy his 3 year old curiosity. However a few days later I was nursing again and Alex sat down next to me with his baby doll and said my baby is hungry, lifted his shirt and started nursing his doll. I tried so hard to stifle my laughter but admittedly it was really hard. I didn't even try to explain that one to him.

About Liam,

We call Liam the elephant bird for the two things he excels at, elephant noise imitations and the never ending open bird mouth signal for "I'm hungry". Truly you will never hear a better elephant call than Liam. There really isn't much else to report about him other than he is is just happy, healthy and perfect. And we are so grateful to be able to report that :)

About Dusty,

He is happily working for the Jordan school district for the time being as an IT geek. He is in charge of all of Copper Hills High Schools computers and anyone else that the district decides needs his help. It's his dream job because he gets to play around with high school kids and computers all day and they have hired him on as a defense football coach for the sophomores. He has already decided that Alex will be a quarterback and Liam will be a running-back. But we will see.

About Me,

Not much to report on me. I stay home and play endless hours of cars, pirates, and rocket ships, change diapers, and snuggle two little boys to sleep. I am supremely spoiled to be surrounded by such wonderful family and friends. I have many adoring family members and friends who willingly take my children for a night so I can sleep or play with them without being asked, or babysit on last minute notice. I'm super grateful to be able to be an at home mom for my boys. I have learned as much from them as they probably have from me. One thing I noticed lately is how much children soak in absolutely everything you say and do. For example I have to feed Liam about every 2 hours which has cut into Alex and I's play time during the day. So when he is nagging me incessantly to play I remind him to be patient. So the other day I was running errands with the boys and Liam was starting to wake up as I was trying to get the boys in the car to go home. Alex was dawdling as usual and I kept telling him to hurry up and get in now and all that sort of thing. Well he turns to me as I am buckling him in and says "remember momma be patient okay." It totally melted my heart and I chilled out and said your right sometimes momma forgets to be patient thanks for reminding me. But on the flip side I have been told a number of time to do something "RIGHT NOW" by him which is something I am also guilty of saying to him. I have found that children are often an excellent reflection of ourselves.
