Alex and his toys

I just wanted to post some more funny pictures of Alex and his toys. I even took some video so that I could remember what he did. He didn't know I did it so that was fun to not have it staged. Just all natural Alex.

Jeremy

Since I did some posts on the other two boys, I feel Jeremy deserves the same attention. He has been enjoying school so much! We went to his parent teacher conference the other day and his teacher told us how well he is doing in school. He is one of the best readers and is a great student! I am so proud of him. He recently learned something that I used to do growing up. Climbing up the wall! It's fun to see him do it.

Playing in the snow

I wanted to post these pictures even though spring is on it's way. The boys had fun with their friend Jack playing in the snow.

Adventerous Alex

Since Jeremy is either in school or playing with his friends, that leaves Alex out of a lot of things. Occasionally he gets to play with Jeremy, Jeremy and his friends and rarely he has his own friend playdate. So that leaves a lot of the time to hang out with Mom. And he loves Mom. We do have fun and today we had a tickle fest, which was a blast to him. He also was jumping from pillow to pillow .

He is liking being strong and getting big. He even told me he is a Chinese boy. Alex loves to

imagine and especially when he is in the bath. He takes a lot of toys in with him and likes to line up his toys and talk to them.

I even found a tower of toys the other day that was quite the sight so I had to take a picture.

Isaac

Isaac is getting so big. He had his 4 month checkup and he was 18 pounds, which put him in the 90th percentile for his weight and he's 80th percentile in his height.

He can roll over and loves to laugh! He is so ticklish! I love to change his diaper because he just giggles!

His brothers entertain him quite well!

Christmas

Christmas was a nice day. It was relaxed and we went to see family when we were ready to and not when we were told to come up. Jeremy was up first with me and we waited for everyone else to get up. Here are their spoils. Alex loves knights and got a Peter figure from Narnia so he really just wanted to play with it and not get his picture taken. Jeremy got his Didj he had been asking for with a Star Wars game so he was in heaven. He kept saying this was the best day!

We had a good breakfast and just enjoyed our little family. Last Christmas, we had told everyone we were having a baby so it was fun to have Isaac with us.

It was fun to see the boys' excitement and fun to see family. We played one of Alex's games he got that night called Cootie. We all created some fun Cooties!

Christmas time

So this is a little late but it's so hard to have some time to myself to do this! We had some fun activities for Christmastime. From the ward Christmas party to parties at both Jeremy and Alex's schools. We had parties at our families too and got to see family who came in for the holidays. The boys were in a reading of the Christmas story.

Jeremy had a music program at school and it was fun to watch.

Alex came home one day in a really cute thing he made at school.

We also did what has become a tradition of mailing a letter to Santa at the North Pole mailbox located by a local grocery store. Santa even answers you back. And then we got to see Santa also.

We know a wonderful lady that lives in England that Ben met while on his mission there. She is always sending us sweaters she knits and we always get compliments on them when we put them on the boys. Here are some of them.

Thanksgiving!

This first picture is of Alex in a headdress he made at preschool. He didn't want to put it on because it was so awkward but I am glad he did so I could capture the memory!

We went to Thanksgiving at Ben's parents.

We were going to go to his brother's but his wife got sick. Jeremy

had a Thanksgiving party at school that I helped with

and we made bead necklaces so I brought those for the kids to make.

It was a nice day.

You never know...

You never know how nice it is to have a computer until you don't have one. That has been our life for the past few months. But finally we have bought a small netbook and it does a great job. So now I will attempt to catch up the blog.

Every Monday, a few little neighbor kids that are Alex's age come over for a little playschool. All the moms take turns hosting it. The second week in November was my turn and I did it about the military. One of our neighbors served in Iraq and his wife lent me some stuff that I could use, including some of his fatigues. So I dressed the kids up in them. Here is Alex.
