6 Month Monsters!

I can't believe that my babies have been with us for half a year! Some days it seems like just yesterday we got them and some days it feels like forever! I am not ready for them to be so old.
Beckett the bucket is an eating champ, he LOVES rice cereal. He can roll over and loves to roll around the room. However, he gets very mad if something blocks his way so he can't roll anymore. He hates his car seat and sleeping through the night. He can be very stubborn (he must get it from his dad ;)) He has the cutest smile and is starting to coo a lot more. Jessica says when he laughs he sounds like an old man. He thinks it is funny when we kiss and tickle his chunky cheeks. He is a moose and we love him.

Soapy Sophie wants nothing to do with rice cereal. We will put it in her mouth and she just drools it out. She sleeps sometimes other times she doesn't. She loves her mobile and loves to talk to it. She likes to be sitting up, when we are chillin she likes to be up and looking around. She still likes to cuddle which makes me happy because she will fall asleep on my chest. When she wakes up from her nap or in the morning she leans forward and opens her mouth for a kiss. She loves to give wet kisses and I can't get enough of them. I love her big smile she is our princess.

Twins cane be tough, there are a lot of sleepless nights. I think night time is the hardest time. During the day they give me lots of smiles which make it worth it. They love to hold hands when they lay by each other. I feel like they are aware of what each other is doing. It is fun to see how they interact. Ryker also loves to play with them and bring them toys. One morning I was lying in bed and when I got up to go check on the twins Ryker had put toys in each of their cribs. Ryker will wipe their noses and throw away diapers for me. He is a great big brother and loves his siblings.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

We went to Temple Square with my family. It snowed a little (some of the only snow we have seen this year). It was fun going to dinner and walking around to see the lights. On the 23rd my family had a Christmas party it was fun to get together with the family. Cindy did a back to Bethlehem theme, she had fun crafts for the kids and we had a cousin gift exchange and Santa came. Ryker wanted to get on Santa's lap.

I had a busy month of December, I made 84 Reinbeers (for my family and my mom's friends), 6 sock monkeys, a Christmas head band and tutu for Sophie, 20 neighbors gifts and lots of treats.

For Christmas we opened presents at our house. We had to wake Ryker up; he didn't want to come downstairs because he wanted to get dressed. So he went sulking into his room, it was pretty funny. Brad got some work clothes, a CD, a DVD, and some shoes. I got a Kindle Fire, some clothes, a sweet pot, and some other cooking things. Ryker got some clothes, toys, a bicycle, and a computer. Beckett and Sophie both got toys and some clothes. We had a wonderful Christmas. After we opened presents my family came over for breakfast. I loved having them over. We went to Brad's parents after my family left. Todd called and we got to Skype him, it was neat to see and talk to him.

The week after Christmas Brad had some time off so he spent the week at home. It was fun having him home and we just relaxed. The kids loved having him home and playing with him.

For New Year's Eve we went to my parents’ house. We ate yummy fondue and other treats. Around 10:30 I realized how tired I was, so we did fireworks and went home. Sadly we were in bed at midnight... We must be getting old :) Well we had a great Christmas. Here are some pictures, sorry there are no captions my blog has been loading pictures on funny so I can't see them.

5 months

Twins are 5 months! They are growing like weeds! They have gone back to waking up during the night, it makes me sad. Beckett has started some solids we tried for the first time the other day. He is getting better at it. He has the cutest smile with one dimple. Sophie tried food but wasn't a fan. She likes to be sitting up. Both can roll from their stomachs to their backs. Both have been pretty close to rolling from back to stomach, so I imagine it will happen soon

Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving we went to Park City with my family. It was nice to get away even if it was just to Park City. We nicked a deer on the way up. It was pretty scary and I feel bad for the deer. It only dented the front of our car a little. We were very lucky. While we were up there we played games and shopped and swam. We had a blast!

Halloween

We had a Halloween party back in October. I love having friends come over and get together. We ate some yummy food and played some games. The costumes and food were great.

Best Friend

So I thought I would update on one of my best friends. He is pretty stinkin cute! Ryker is such a fun kid. I love being with him. He is my shadow; whatever I am doing he is right there doing it with me. He loves to help me cook; he has to have the apron on, standing on the chair or sitting on the counter. If I am sweeping the floor he is right behind me with the mop helping. When I shower he has to get in and is right under the water with me. When I am getting ready and putting on makeup, he wants some too, much to Brad's displeasure. (Don't worry I don't really put any on him)
When he is sad he says "a hug". One of his first full sentences was to Brad saying "I shot mom in the bum". He had his nerf gun out and shot me. He says quite a few things now. A lot of things I don't understand. Brad has to have me translate a lot of things.
He is a little OCD about something (thanks Jess), the doors have to be closed, certain lights have to be on, his wash cloth has to be in the right spot, and food has to be in the right place and so on. He is also in the stage where he has to pick what he is wearing, Pj’s and clothes alike. I bought him a shirt for family pictures and he refuses to wear it. His favorite shirt is his BYU jersey and if it is clean he has to wear it. He also likes this blue button down shirt.
He is my little man and I love him! He is at such a fun stage in life. Well I took him for a checkup a month ago and here are his stats.

4 Months

My babies are growing up to fast! Some days it seems like we have had them for ever. Other days I can't believe how much they have grown. They change daily!

Beckett- has a cute smile with one dimple. He is not as willing to share his smiles but when he does it melts your heart. He is easier to get to sleep but tends to wake up more. He sleeps from 10 pm to 7 am. He loves when daddy tickles him under his chin and has a funny little laugh. He has more of a temper and turns red when he is mad. He loves to cuddle his blankets and has to hold it and snuggle his nose into it. He is very active and always kicking his legs.

Length- 25.5 in (68%)

Weight- 13 lbs (10%)

Head- 41.25 cm (24%)

Sophie- Has a huge smile and will share it with almost anyone that will talk to her. She loves to talk, Brad was trying to get her to take a nap and she just sat there and talked and talked. She will also laugh when tickled, her laugh sometimes sounds like she is going to cry. She loves her mobile and will talk to it on a regular basis. She is harder to get to sleep but will sleep better once she is asleep. She sleeps from 10 pm to 7 am. She has the tightest grip which makes cleaning inside her hands really hard. She is still very much a daddy's girl. She doesn't doesn't liked to be undressed.
