Happy Anniversary Leisa and Scott

Happy Anniversary Leisa and Scott. I can't believe that you've been married for 9 years now. The years have flown by. I hope that you were able to go on a hot date.

I love you guys.

Happy Birthday Neil

Happy Birthday Neil. I am so happy to share my birthday week with you since you are such an awesome guy. You are a great guy to everyone you meet. Thanks for joining the family and for making such cute babies with Jill. We love you.


Pictures to prove just how fun Neil is.

Potty Training

So potty training has been going really well so far. Everett is doing really good. He still has accidents, but he isn't telling me he has to go, I am just taking him every 30-60 minutes. He doesn't wear a diaper during naps and generally wakes up dry in the morning. He has pooped on the potty three days in a row. I am super excited because I love not changing diapers all the time.

And the cherry on top was that Cael pooped in the potty today. Yay. I am so excited and I hope that it continues. Right now Cael is using more diapers a day than Everett is. Weird I know. One for pooping, one at night. I am hoping that by the end of the summer both of my boys will be completely diaper free. That will be so awesome. Wish me luck.

GLEE

I know that I have been slacking majorly lately. I will try to catch everyone up on what is going on soon.

But for today I want to talk about GLEE.

I love the show GLEE on Fox. If you haven't seen it before you are missing out. It is so fun. The new season starts next Tuesday after American Idol. If that wasn't good enough. Adam and I just got our tickets for their concert in LA next month. That is our birthday presents to each other. I am so excited for it. I have both of the Glee CD's and I listen to them pretty much every time I'm in the car. I will sing along and just enjoy my time in the car. Even Cael and Everett like watching Glee. And I never say no when they say they want to watch the DVD.

Man I sound like a crazy person, but I don't care.

I'm a Gleek.

Easter

Easter this year was fun. Cael and Ev were both understanding the candy finding part a little better, but it kills me that they want to stop after each egg and eat the candy before finding more.

I am so thankful for the Easter season. So we can all reflect on Christ and his Atonement. I am so thankful for the Atonement in my life. I know that I am a better and happier person because of it. I know that He suffered a lot because of me, but that I will be forgiven if I ask for forgiveness and repent of my sins. I love Christ and Heavenly Father and am so grateful for my knowledge and love of them.

Mac N Cheese

We took the boys to Chuck E Cheese today to waste some time. We thought the boys would like it and they did. For whatever reason Cael calls it Mac N Cheese instead of Chuck E Cheese. It is so funny because he asks to go every time he sees a commercial for it or whenever we drive by it.
He loved this little ride and just laughed the whole time. It was pretty funny. He just wanted to watch the same video over and over again. We might take Cael there for his birthday. Not a party, but just for him. I wish that he had cousins that lived down here so they could come along too. Maybe one day.

One Step Closer

Everett did it again. He pooped in the potty this morning.
Keep it up Ev.

I also undated Ev's birthday post with his stats.

Happy Anniversary Tutu and Papa

Happy Anniversary Tutu and Papa. We love you guys so much.

Everett Turns Two

Here are some pictures from Everett's second birthday. It was really low key, but he still enjoyed it. I can't believe that he is two already. Time is flying by way too fast. He is such a sweet and cute boy. He loves to cuddle and give kisses. He also likes to copy everything that Cael does. If Cael is jumping while dancing than so is Everett. It is so cute. I love Everett so much and am so thankful that he joined our family.















I let Everett pick out his cake and he wanted Wall-E. It turned out really cute, plus they play with the figurines now too.





















Everett loves watching Mommy play soccer, so we got him a set so he can play too. He is pretty good too.
















He likes playing with phones and remotes, so he got his own.
















My boys loves balloons, so I always like to get them a bunch to help them enjoy their day even more.

Happy 2nd Birthday Everett

I can't believe it but our little Everett is two years old. That was the fastest two years ever. He is getting so big. He is such a crazy monkey that climbs on EVERYTHING. He also has to do everything that his brother does. I often call him Monkey Do because he sees Cael and copies him right away. He has his two year appointment next week, so I'll be able to give the stats. But I am going to guess and we'll see how close I am to what is right.
Beki's guesses: weight 31 pounds and height 31 inches.
Real stats: weight 31 and 1/2 pounds and height is 34 inches.
When I took him to the doctors today, he feel asleep before he got his shot. So they gave it to him while he was asleep. He opened his eyes and acted like he was going to cry, but decided to keep sleeping. It was so funny and nice. He is so strong and fights it whenever he is getting shots, but he was the perfect kid today.

Here are some of my favorite pictures of Everett from the last two years.









3 months old










6 months old














13 months old







That is all that I can post right now. But I'll try to post more recent ones soon.

I love you Everett and I am so lucky to be your mom.

I can't believe that you are 10 years old. You have been my one and only nephew for 10 years. You are such a smart kid and the sweetest boy I've ever known. I love you so much and I am so glad that my boys have such an amazing cousin to look up too. Have a wonderful day Devo. We love you forever.

Brown Bear Brown Bear

Last night when I was getting Cael ready for bed. I started reciting Brown Bear Brown by Bill Martin Jr. Cael loves that book, so I ran into the other room and got it for him to read while we did our bed time routine. Thanks Nana for getting it for him. He got so excited to read it and was being so cute reading it out loud, that I had to get my camera and get a video of him doing it. He was trying to read it to me, but Everett was also wanting the book for himself. So you get to see how my boys fight over everything. Cael is talking so much better now. I think he will impress you all.

Everett Somersault

Here is a video of Everett doing a somersault. I think he is doing really good at it. You also get to see how Everett wants his picture taken. He runs up as close to the camera as he can. He is such a cheese. But I still love him.

Funny Photo Friday

Here are a few funny pictures of the boys off my camera lately. Sorry for the boring blog, but we don't have much going on right now.

Go Everett

Last night Everett pooped in the potty. I was so excited. This was his first time doing it and I was so surprised that he did it.

Keep it up Everett, you're awesome.

Cael's Award

Cael had his first awards ceremony at school today. It was really cool to see him interacting with his peers. I always wish that I could be a fly on the wall to watch my kids to see how they act when I'm not around.


Cael caught me taking his picture.









Cael accepting his award from Miss Diana. She is such an awesome teacher. She is always so positive.








Cael's award. Good job Cael. You are great.

Before

Here is a picture of Cael on his 2nd birthday wearing a underwear set that Nana got for him. It is sized at a 4T, but as you can tell it fit him perfect when he was 2 while still in diapers. It got packed away with all the other 2T clothes once they were too small. He only wore 2T for only six months. So he didn't wear it for long.

Jump forward two years.

I pull out all the 2T clothes for Everett to wear now. Cael sees the pirate shirt and becomes obsessed.

After

Here is Cael in his pirate shirt now. It is way too small, but he loves it so much.

So the story from the beginning is that I was pulling out the 2T clothes of Cael's for Everett. I see the cute pirate undies set and put them on Everett. They fit him really good and he likes to be like Cael and wear underwear. Cael sees it and comes up to me and says, "my turn, shirt" and he keeps pointing at the shirt that Everett is wearing. So I asked him, "do you want to wear that shirt?". "Yes, my turn." So I take it off Ev and put it on Cael. We all have a good laugh about how small it is on him. I take it off of him and put in back on Ev saying that it is Ev's turn. (Cael is working on taking turns at school.) Cael immediately says "my turn" again and it is apparent that he really likes the shirt. So I put it back on him. Whatever. He wears in the rest of the night and he asked to sleep in too. Okay. And so it goes for three straight days. Cael would not take the shirt off. He was wearing it as an undershirt when he was at school and was sleeping in it too. He would take it off for a bath, but as soon as he got out of the tub he was asking for his shirt. He isn't wearing it all the time now. But he asks for it all the time. He comes home from school and takes off his clothes and asks for his pirate shirt. He gets upset when it is being washed.
So I am on the lookout for another underwear set for him this weekend. Wish me luck.

Catch Up Finally

I am so sorry for my sad sad blog. I look at it everyday and say I need to just post something, but than I say I'll do it later. So no more. I am going to post something everyday to catch up. Starting now.
