Some pictures

This is a picture of the boys fighting over a toy phone while daddy is watching the dunk contest.

Brent likes to sit with his mommy too! :)

Valentines day fun!

Today Grandma Turley came over and brought Valentines Day goodies! The boys both got little lunch boxes with crayons and a piece of chocolate inside and Josh and I got red glasses with chocolates in them! (we are so spoiled) As soon as Brent opened the little box and saw the chocolate he ate it. I didn't have a chance to stop him, and not only did I not stop him, but he also got to Derricks somehow (not that I would have let Derrick eat it, but I didn't want Brent to have so much sugar)!





I thought it might be fun to make some valentines day cookies (yep, even after the chocolate incident). Brent had a ton of fun rolling out the dough and cutting the cookies. He had even more fun snitching all the cookie dough! Derrick had fun eating goldfish crackers in his highchair, and trying to figure out what we were doing.

Later we frosted the cookies and I caught Brent sucking frosting out of one of the bags! He's so sneaky.

This is Brent showing me the cookie that he decorated.

The little spatula that Brent used to frost some cookies somehow ended up on the floor. Derrick found it and decided it tasted good:) He crawled around with it in his mouth for a good 20 minutes!

Later, when I put the babies down for a nap, my mom and I played with the cricut and made some very cute valentines day cards! It was a VERY fun day. Although I'm thinking Brent had way too much sugar.

Boys are so much fun

Brent loves to climb inside things. He likes to find a cupboard that he thinks he will be able to fit inside, take everything out (it doesn't matter what is in it) and then climb inside! The other day he wanted to climb inside this bottom part of our china cabinet, and I told him that he wouldn't fit. That he was too big. I came back to find that he and Derrick had taken out all the packages of wipes and tissue boxes and he had proved me wrong! He actually did fit inside!

Another cupboard that they like to get into is the one with all the pots and pans! They make quite the team now days!

What an evening!

The babies are finally in bed! Yay! Not that I don't love them to pieces, but it was just time. You know how you can just tell that its time for a nap or time for bed? It was sure time :)

We are trying to start a compost pile for our garden, and it has been hard to start. I hate having to put my shoes on and walk outside across the yard just to dump some scraps. And hard to remember, but I guess It will get easier the more I actually do it. ( I should really just suck it up) I have been trying to be diligent the past few days in doing this and tonight when I took out some stuff I came back and the door was shut. Brent must have shut it. But I went to open it and it was locked! I couldn't believe my 2 year old had just locked me out of the house. I tried for some time to get him to unlock it, and he tried but I don't think he understood, or could see where the little lever was. I was going to go around, but then I remembered Josh locked the back gate with a pad lock and I have no idea where the key is.....and it sure wasn't outside. Luckily I remembered that I didn't lock the front door after some guests left a few minutes earlier. Now All I had to do was jump the fence. No sweat right? I'm in great physical shape! NOT!!! I did however manage to get up there, and realized that our walls may be brick, but those bricks are THIN! I jumped down, scraped my hand up and since it had rained the past week off and on, my foot sank into the mud and I lost my shoe! I managed to get it out of the mud and made it back into the house to rescue my babies who had locked me out. What fun adventures we have!

More please?

The other day I made these mini cupcakes and I gave Brent half of one and he just shoved it in his mouth. He asked for more, and when I told him no he was really sad, but his mouth was still full so he just had this really cute sad face. I had to take a picture! And share :)
