Finally!

My apologies that you have had to stare at me 9 months preggo for the past month!  Yes I know I am way behind in posting...I keep getting reminders from everyone and actually suprised I haven't gotten any threatening texts from Marybeth about it.  So here is a few random pics for now :)

Hmmmm...what to eat?  Jax loves when the fridge is open, he starts crying when we shut it especially if he is standing in front of it.  He actually gets mad when we shut a lot of doors...bathroom door (he loves playing in the bathroom and crawling around in the shower and if we leave the potty open he has tried to spash around in it), basement door (he really loves playing in the basement and if someone opens the door he crawls as fast as he can to get to the door then screams if he can't go down), door to the garage (loves being outside and doesn't like it when we go in and out).

Anytime the boys are eating together which is always, Brody makes sure Jax is sitting right next to him.

Last year

All I can do is laugh when I see this picture.  Hard to believe that this time last year this is what I looked like!!  I look like I could have been carrying twins!!  Just turned out to be 1 10lb baby boy :)   Note to self...if I ever get preggo again...do not wear this shirt.

Can't say no

Jax is everywhere these days. He isn't walking but he is cruising and crawling very fast...especially to places he shouldn't be going.   We got some curtians for our kitchen door and right after we bought them my first thought was..I wonder when Jax will pull them down :)  No sooner then putting them up, he crawled right for it.  It was useless to say no, since the curtian is in the kitchen.  Turns out he actually just likes playing peek-a-boo with it, and when he looks at me with this face, how could I say no?!

 Besides being everywhere, he likes getting into anything and everything.  I left the room for a few minutes and when I returned he was having fun with the wipes :)

Personally I don't like buying both boys the same shirt or matching outfits.  On the random occasion that I do, they don't wear it at the same time.  I saw these air force shirts with jets and just couldn't say no...I had to do it for Nay Nay. It was too cute because Brody was so excited for him and Jax to match. 

Superman!

Halloween Part 2

On the 31st we went to Mamo and Papa's house for more trick or treating! I didn't take many pics (sorry about that). But we again had lots of fun!  The weather turned out to be great and Brody got lots of candy.  We were done with about an hour left which was fine because Brody loved passing out candy to the kids.  Brody asked me what I was and my only answer I could think of was "your mom."  Maybe next year I will have to dress up.  The only thing we missed was Jamie and Papa :(

 We got to stop by Brody and Jax's cousin Leightons house.  We couldn't get them to smile at the same time...or even smile at all....these are memories people!  :)

Halloween

Trick or treat was on Thursday in our neighborhood..I think we got 4 total kids.  It was a little cold and wet, but we had lots of fun.  Brody did not want to wear his mask because he said he could not see good out of it (such a safe kid!).  So facepaint did the trick...you can compliment me later on my talents :)

Watch out for Spiderman!!

 And his cute little sidekick...Jax Smurf

We were happy that Mamo came and joined us!

 The loot....since we don't get many trick or treaters on our street a lot of the houses gave Brody regular sized candy bars!

"Actual" birthday

After his birthday party with the family on the 15th, we told Brody we would do something small as a family on his actual birthday (the 18th).  All day on the 18th he kept saying "it's my actual birthday and I am really 4!"  I asked him what he would like to eat for dessert...he could make a cake with me, go out for ice cream, make cookies...really whatever he wanted.  He decided he wanted to make a cake :)  So we went to the store and he picked out a yellow cake, chocolate icing and marshmellows and sprinkles to decorate.  While at the store I asked if he wanted to take a special treat into school and picked out candy corn and popcorn.  Salty and sweet! I couldn't have picked it better myself.   

Sometimes he likes to pick out what he wears for the day...after he came down stairs he said he was "ready for winter"  :)

Happy 4th Birthday Brody!

How is it possible that Brody is 4???  We had a fun b-day bash for him at the new house!  Although we did miss having it at Mamo and Papas, it was so nice to have everyone over at our house.  Words can not express how wonderful Brody is!  

Spiderman cake!  This was a last minute decision for him considering a month before his b-day he wanted a dump truck cake....then 2 weeks before his b-day he wanted a spaceship with an alien cake.....then while standing at Kroger looking through the pics (trying to find a spaceship design) he saw this cake and had to have it.

Ohhh how we love cake pops!  I wish I could take credit, but I did not make these :(  They were amazing!

Mamo and Papa came over a little early and Brody got to open their presents right away :)

Testing out his new web slinger

Hanging out with his cousin Chase, playing with his new toys

Apple Picking

We went apple picking at the beginning of the month with Travis and Lauren!  It was a little cold, but we had lots of fun and got lots of yummy apples.  Now all we need to do is go back when the "wine sap" are ready to be picked :)

 Brody loved picking and eating the apples right away

 Showing Travis which apples to pick

Fun Together

Brody and Jax get along so well together!  I always wonder how long it will last :)  It's so nice now that Jax can move around and play more.  Brody let's him crawl all over him and even thinks it's funny when Jax pulls his hair.  We just love how Brody can make Jax smile and laugh.  Brody is an awsome big brother. He helps me out so much by telling me when Jax is crawling towards the steps, or when Jax has put something in his mouth (like a piece of carpet or whatever he can find on the floor), or when Jax tries to rip off the nightlights in the bedrooms :)

 Lots of kisses



 Their newest favorite things to do are... crawl in the shelves in the living room

 Empty all the bags in the pantry...

Empty all the tupperware out and crawl into the cupboard

 And have lots of fun with Dada :)



Jax

It's hard to believe that Jax is 9 months already!  He is quite the crazy man and total opposite of Brody.  He is army crawling and regular crawling everywhere.  He really likes standing up, so anything and everything he can pull himself up on he will.  He adjusted very well to his crib and his own room (yes he had been sleeping in his pack-n-play in our room in the condo...for 8 months).  We did have to lower the crib to the lowest setting because he was pulling himself up immediately.  When put on the ground I swear he makes a b-line to where he shouldn't go such as the outlets!  I swear we didn't even have to put the plug protectors in with Brody (even though we did to be safe).  This past week has has finally started to sleep through the night...I really hope I am not jinxing it.  Getting him to take a nap is the hardest thing to do these days...he is not a fan of going down, but we are working on it.  He is a ball of energy with a smile always on his face.
