We are all monsters!

Potty training has kind of turned us all into monsters over here.  Not really but kind of.  Bedtime is a joke. Wyatt keeps getting up saying he "has to go" and two drops come out.  Sometimes he just wants to ask us if we will come get him when he wakes up or if we will be able to hear him.  Sometimes he can't even come up with anything to ask us.  It seriously takes about an hour to put him down.  No lie!  A once peaceful time is the most dreaded time now.

It actually has gotten better now that we take away his two alloted cars by his bed or his stuffed animals if he comes to get us and he doesn't really have to go. Call us mean but it works.  The other night I came home and I saw 5 things on the ledge outside of his room.  It just made me laugh but in all seriousness I was glad it wasn't me putting him to bed that night. Thanks, Jason.

One funny story that is blog worthy: 
Jason was putting him to bed one night.  After several, "Daddy? Daddys?" were said, Jason went in and took cars away.  Jason said, "Go to bed and don't say Daddy anymore unless you REALLY have to go potty."  Well, all of a sudden we heard a "Jason? Jason?" from the hum of the monitor.  We both were laughing so hard that it was difficult to get mad at the kid. 

At least we know he is smart. 

The Vet was right again!

So, my brother is a vet.  Remember several years ago when he told me Wyatt would be a boy?  Well, he has gone and done it again.  My OB even confirmed it.  We are having a boy and a girl!  I cannot tell you how excited I am.  It is exactly what I wanted.  Wyatt gets a brother and I get a girl who will grow up to be my friend.  Pedicures, lunches, etc.  Don't even get me started on shopping. :)  Jason better put me on a budget now because all of these girl clothes are calling my name.

As for my pregnancy, all I want to do during Wyatt's nap is sleep myself.  I feel like I need to do it now because in the next year, there will be none of it happening.  I'm freaking huge already and I'm only 21 weeks!  I saw a lady at Babies R Us the other day having twins and I about died how big she was.  Actually, I died thinking how big I'll get.  I feel great but my back is starting to take it's toll.  I bought a maternity belt and it seems to help.  I wear it only at home but pretty soon it may have to make an appearance outside of the home. Not good for the fashion blog. Ha!

I'm also wanting to declutter everything in my house but I can't seem to find the time to do it....remember I like to take naps.  So, hopefully one day it will be done (sooner than later I hope).

Friday Plus- Jan photos week 1

I jumped on the bandwagon of taking a photo every day during January.  If you are on Instagram then do it.  It is really fun.  I look forward to seeing everyone's pictures.  I'm not going to include all the pics I take because some are boring so here are just a few.

Favorite: One of my favorite stores

Daily Routine: We play cars all.the.time.

Christmas in Utah 2011 part 2

These were some of the presents that Santa and Mom and Dad brought Wyatt this year.  He got a few more things like underwear, clothes, movies, and books.  Santa also left a bike and some race cars for potty training in AZ while we were in UT.  Pretty nice guy if I say so myself.  And of course the grandparents spoiled us like crazy.  But who would have thought that these 7 cars would bring him so much joy.  Next year Santa might just keep it more simple. :)

Christmas in Utah 2011 part one

Despite the fact that there was ZERO snow in Utah for my White Christmas and that I couldn't go skiing, we still managed to have lots of fun.  We drove this year and made great time. We even stopped at BYU to brainwash Wyatt get a few things at the BYU bookstore.  Wyatt loved it!

Christmas Eve was spent doing the traditional elf visits.  Later that night we ate a yummy dinner, went toTemple Square, opened new pjs for everyone, and had the Griswald/Voorhees lighting of the star on the flag pole.  The star lighting was a new tradition and was really quite funny.  Hugh had spent lots of time making his star and putting it up.  We came out and had a drumroll for the lighting and all went back in.  Hugh was still left out there admiring his work, just like Clark Griswald. :)  He loves that movie so that is why it is extra funny. 

Big Announcement!

We have an announcement.  We are expecting twins come early June.  We have every emotion in the book:

excited, thrilled, happy, relieved, etc.

but are also feeling

scared, incapable, fearful, and "how the crap are we going to do this?"

Okay, that last one might just be mine.  I keep calling my friends with twins and wonder how they do it.  I guess baptism by fire is the only way to truly learn.  I just can't fathom how I'm going to carry two newborns up and down the stairs.  Or don't even get me started on sleep training or feeding them.  Shoot me now!

No, really, with our fertility problems, twins is a blessing.  It might be really difficult at times but it will all be worth it to be able to add to our family. 

Double the blessings.  Double the joys.
