Every day crazy!!!

Yup this is how it is in our house...ALL the time. Giselle on the floor right after she scattered a bag of cereal...EVERYWHERE! jacob on a stool he pushed over to the sink, filling some random bowl with water. It can be a pain to clean up but really it's just a little mess and look how happy they are!

Last night Jolie and Genevieve were at a sleepover so Jillian and Jacob had there own sleepover. We thought they looked so cute all cuddled together! Jacob looks like he's winning in the bed there though!

Friday was crazy hair day! Genna and Jillian were so excited to do something fun and when I told them I had pink hair stuff they were beyond excited. Genna has a waterbottle in her ponytail making it stand up like that. Jillian has 4 pony tails in her hair. They got so many compliments. Jolie decided not to partake in this school tradition. She wanted NOTHING to do with it. When I said bye to her at school she didn't even look at me...I can't believe I'm already un cool to her. Well she is going into 5th grade....WOW!

Jolie and Genevieve absolutely LOVE Giselle. They are so great at helping her and protecting her and following her at the park. It's amazing how great it is to have a toddler with big sisters to help out.

Jacob wants to ride a big 2 wheeler SOOO bad. Jillian told him she would help teach him. He hopped on the biggest bike he could find. It had training wheels on it luckily. Jillian pushed the bike all over the driveway for at least a half hour. Isn't Jacob so lucky to have such a great big sister!

Sweet Cuddles!

Jolie has what every big sister dreams of. A little sister that ADORES her. Giselle thinks Jolie is the best. She reaches out her arms for her. She gives her kisses. She brings books and toys to her. Why does Giselle think so much of Jolie. Because Jolie plays with her. She turns on music and dances with her. She spins her and kisses her. Every time Giselle brings her a book, Jolie reads it. Jolie shares her beloved stuffed pink bear with her...sometimes Giselle just takes it but Jolie doesn't mind..usually! :) Most of all they just love each other.. aren't sisters the best.
I think I am one lucky mom to have such sweet loving children!

Youtube!

One of Jacob's favorite things of ALL time is to go on youtube and watch videos of trains. It is amazing how many people have videotaped a train. Jacob is very thankful to all those people out there that stand and tape a slow moving train for 10 minutes or a fast moving train for two minutes. He's mastered the mouse and can watch the same clip over and over or pick a new one.

Today though I set it up for him and then went up stairs to work on laundry. I can hear the sounds of the trains and the click of the mouse and then realized that I hadn't heard anything for a little while. I waited a few minutes then went down stairs to find him out cold. Those trains were just too exciting. My big boy is still my little man for at least a little longer. I picked him up and just layed with him for a few minutes. Choo Choo dreams my sweet boy!

Baby Mozart!

Giselle LOVES to play the piano. I hear the tink tink of keys all the time and it isn't Jolie. I find Giselle sitting at the big piano happy as can be.

I should have zoomed in on the keys because they are covered in many many finger smudges. If you want to know what it is..I have no idea. Messy hands is just how it is in our house!

She loves music. She carries around my ipod...although she only wants Kesha playing on that..I think she mostly likes the picture of Kesha on the front. She bops and spins whenever the stereo is on. She is so fun to watch. Who knows maybe this is a sign that she will be the next great pianist!!!!!

Shaking hands!!

I'm sorry these photos aren't very good. It was the best I could do. This weekend Brett and I and his parents went into D.C. for the BYU management society dinner. It's always fun to get dressed up and go out. It's even better when you get to see, touch and hear an apostle of the lord!! The event was running late so we thought we might not get to meet him. Then him and his wife come walking in. He is so nice and shaked hundreds of hands and smiled the whole time. He can shake and walk fast though. I tried after I shaked his hand to get a good picture, but those feet are fast. He was on the move and constantly moving his head so no good picture. but still an amazing experience. His talk was amazing and fun to listen to. I feel so blessed to have gone and that I was with Brett the whole time!

Thank You President Uchtdorf for a wonderful talk and for helping me to feel closer to our Heavenly Father!

Happy 3rd Birthday Jacob!!!

My little man is growing up so fast. He is 3 years old today. He usually can show me three with his hand but for some reason it just wasn't happening today!

We just got done with a baseball class for Jacob before we took these pictures. He is doing great in the class and only runs out to me maybe 2 or 3 times..hahaha one of these times he'll stay in the whole time.

He was SO excited to sit on top of the hydrant. He was holding on tight..he will tell you that if you ask him. Grandma Sue and Grandpa Dan gave him a big fire truck and he got to open that first thing this morning..so it's been a fireman kinda day!

He loves his light up car shoes that Grandma Fox got him, it's nice because we can see him running down the street in the dark!

Jacob loves trucks, trains, cars, buses, airplanes, anything with wheels. He loves to read stories and sing songs...but not really mommy sing, he stops me ALL the time. He can count to 20 and he knows all his shapes and colors. He can sing his ABC's. He knows how to use the potty but isn't quite interested in wearing big boy underwear..it's going to happen buddy! He loves spaghetti and Lucky Charms. His favorite color is green. He will sit in a chair and let me give him a haircut with clippers. His favorite movie is polar express and Cars. He also loves when Jillian helps him watch any type of train on the computer...thank you YOUTUBE for letting every random person post 45 seconds of a train!

He weighs 27lbs and oops. not sure how tell he is. Add at least 3 inches for his spiked hair. He LOVES nursery and is doing so much better sitting in Sacrament meeting at church. He really is a loving boy. After family prayer he always says...HUGS and has to hug everyone. He prays at night for his friends and all family. If someone is hurt he will give them a hug. He loves his family so much but his sisters are the most important person. Jacob we love you SO much!! Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!

A milestone

THE FIRST PIGTAIL!!!!!!
Ok, so it only lasted for a few minutes and I had to wet her hair to make them AND there was only enough hair in the back to even attempt some sort of ponytail...BUT they are there and they are adorable.
