Multiple Posts

So I blogged away tonight trying to get caught up! There will be a least two more coming in the next few days, but until then check out the many posts below to see the fun happenings in our life lately.

Chugga Chugga Choo Choo

The other day when I was preparing dinner Eli found a fun way to entertain him and the boys.

The Conductor

The Passengers

All Aboard! We are headed to the Promised Land
( That is honestly where Eli said we would go.)

Is it Spring YET?

We have been blessed with some warmer weather off and on recently, so when the weather is nice I try to get the boys outside and they love it! Here are a few pictures from our backyard adventures.

It is a bike train.

They found the bikes! Cute video to follow. Oliver is at the wheel with Emerson hitching a ride.

Eli learned how to climb a tree, his long awaited goal.

They found the rocks.

Oliver wondering what to do with all this space to wander around.

Look at how happy Emerson is to be outside.

The promised video of Oliver and Emerson bike riding.

Hampers, Hampers EVERYWHERE!

The twins have discovers the collapsible hampers I have for laundry. The love to climb into them full or not. Their favorites include the one full of unmatched socks and Eli's little one that we put his clothes in. They also like to take them away from each other. I have to giggle when I see them. Below are some pictures from their adventures in a hamper.

Oliver in the Sock Hamper.

Oliver Cheesing it up!

Emerson has won the coveted spot much to Oliver's dismay, but he will get him out one way or the other.

Eli & Mommy Time

As I said in a previous post I received some Free Jazz tickets due to a ticket problem at the Lakers game. So I decided that Eli and I would go together. It was umbrella night, so right after we walked in we were given a huge umbrella to carry with us. When we walked into the arena area Eli was awe struck (the players were out practicing and he was impressed). So we found our seats, (nosebleed) but we didn't care. Right after tip off Eli wanted food, so we gathered up all our stuff and went down and got a drink and a pretzel. Then we watched the game for a little bit, and once again Eli wanted something, so back down we went again, for potty break, popcorn and churro. Then we stayed put for a little while and Eli made friends with the girl behind us and offered her some popcorn ( of course mom was not allowed to have any, so sad). We ended our food run with dippin dots.
The game was quite a contrast to the Lakers game. When the Alanta Hawks scored there wasnt a cheer in the crowd. Eli really enjoyed clapping and yelling defense. The Jazz won, by a lot and Eli and I ended the evening by driving around Temple Square. It was a nice evening out with my oldest son.

First Haircuts

I finally broke down and made myself cut the twins hair. It was getting a little long in the back and was covering their ears. Here are some pictures of this momentous occasion, and yes I kept the clippings.

This is Oliver, he is not too sure as to what is going on, but he looks handsome after I get the stray long hairs cut.

Emerson too wondered what Mommy was doing but was kept happy by the M&Ms that Grandma was handing his way.

My handsome boys!

Grandpa Gerber's watch

My Grandpa Gerber passed away about a year ago, and Eli has been fascinated with death and resurrection ever since. He continually asks when Grandpa is going to come back from Heaven. When we moved in with my parents, my mom gave Eli Grandpa Gerber's old watch, and Eli likes to wear it around on occasion. So the other night Eli was suppose to be in bed, when he came out upset about something. He went to Grandma and told her that the watch broke and showed it to her. (The band was broken). He asked Grandma if she could fix it. The he told her very seriously "Grandpa Gerber is not going to be very happy about this when he comes back from Heaven."
Mom and I had a good little giggle over this statement.
