fun at the park
This was Holden’s first time at the park since he had been walking. He was IN LOVE. Who ever knew that having two little boys could be so wonderful?! I love having fun times with these little guys. They keep me on my toes and they make me smile and giggle all day long. Even when I want to pull out my hair!
Toby seems to have a fondness for creepy crawlies. I have no idea where he might have learned such a thing. Hmmm? :-)

Ashley had a day off and the weather was great so we decided to take a day trip to St. George. The boys played cars, we fed the ducks, took a little walk, played at the park, ate pizza and home we went. The boys were exhausted and fell asleep within minutes of pulling away from the house. Fun times! It was sure fun to see Ashley. Now if I can only plan better next time so we can have more time to visit. It’s hard to catch up with kiddos running a muck!
Feeding the ducks…I swear they were there…just really shy.
Our mini “adventure” walk. Everything is more fun when dirt and sticks are involved!
Follow the leader. Toby really enjoyed having a big boy to look up to. Jackson is SO good with the kids. I can’t wait to see Toby as a big brother.
These boys would play at the park ALL day if I’d let them.
How cute is little Miss Killian?

one year old
Holden is so independent. The silliest of things keep him occupied for hours. He loves playing in corners and under tables right now. Anything that seems like a fort I guess.
Toby was so excited about making Holden a cake! Holden is the ONLY person that Toby says, "I love you" to. They are BEST friends.
He didn't even crack a smile. He just ate and ate until is was gone- either down his gullet or on the floor. He is a piggy wiggy. He LOVES to eat.
Holden is an animal! He is so busy. He walks sometimes just because he can and he is well on his way to running. He is a curious george and gets into everything. Leave no stone unturned. He is such a happy boy. He and Toby play all day long and boy does Holden LOVE pestering Toby. He loves Toby and often Toby is the only thing that will make him happy. Holden is a smart little firecracker. He loves anything electronic and every single day "asks" to play the Wii. He is a big boy- 24 lbs and 31 inches. Don't you just want to kiss him!?
This last year has flown by and life is really starting to get fun. These boys keep us on our toes!

tidbits
1) We just watched "Danny Deckchair." I LOVED it. It is my favorite movie that I have seen in a long while. Not particularly amazing but TOTALLY Ross. Watch it and you'll see and maybe you'll love it too.
2) We are really learning a new side of Holden. STUBBORN. STUBBORN. STUBBORN. He has been difficult eating solids lately. I finally figured out that if he can hold the spoon and feed himself then he is perfectly happy to eat. He'll even let me take a turn or two. When he is finished eating, he won't take the spoon full of food from me and that's how I know he's done.
3) I finally got Toby to sit on the toilet...once. He wouldn't sit on it the right way so I turned him facing the tank. He proceeded to try and get IN the toilet. Eventually, I got him to SIT and hold onto the tank. He kept telling me, "It's coming." Nothing came except some real entertainment. "Choo, choo! Choo choo!" Did I mention that after I took his diaper off he also made me take off his shoes and shirt? Maybe he thought it was going to be a bath? Naked train rides...a new trend???
I have a cute pic of Holden feeding himself that I'll post tomorrow when I am my computer.

yucky
When Toby was throwing up a few weeks ago he finally understood what yucky means. We now have all things yucky. Somehow he, seemingly overnight, got perfectly particular. It is...well...interesting.
Eating a cookie and drinking some milk - OH NO! The choc from his mouth was on the spout of sippy cup and even after I rinsed it off he wouldn't drink out of it.
ONE grape had some imperfections on the skin and it was so yucky that he refused to eat any more. Period. I'll try them again today.
He has to have shoes on when he plays in the pool in the backyard because when things stick to his feet he can't deal.
I changed Toby's sheets yesterday and put on a different one than the plain white ones that I had been using before. After we sang songs and said a prayer, I layed him down in the darkish and he flipped! He cried and tugged and pulled. That was not his sheet and he was not going to sleep on it. Seriously?
When Toby gets out of bed in the morning he has to take EVERYTHING that is in his bed with him. This morning we took: two blankies, a pillow, a puppy, a monkey, a cow, two large trucks, a sippy with water, two pacifiers, and probably 6 hot wheels. Sometimes when he turns his back I kick stuff under the bed so I don't have to carry it all. It's hard taking him and his stuff and Holden! That's a big load!
So random. For my mental sanity I try to think fast and see ahead of the moment to avoid these fatalities. It keeps one going! Too bad mental workouts don't burn fat!
***On a side note: When he says yucky is sounds like yut-ty. He also says o-tay for ok all drawn out in his sweet little deep innocent voice. Sometimes, I ask him questions just so I can hear him say o-taaaaay. I'll ask him, "Do you love so and so?" and he says, "Oh yeah. Daddy. Yeah. Yeah." He is so cute.
