My Big Boys

I can't believe how big these guys are getting!! Gabes already in 6 month clothes at 3 and 1/2 months... And with Adam being my Carb eater.. he definitely has some meat on his bones!

The Babies

Joseph and Crystal came to the Island for the weekend. She brought me some warm clothes for the boys for our trip to Utah. Thank you Crystal!! And I gave them some of the cookies we made. So we had to get pictures of the babies!! They were born like 16 hours apart... almost on the same day!! I guess we can't handle not having a friend of ours have a baby within 24 hours of us. (Adam and Tyler Burton were born the same day) I guess we should have gotten a picture of all of us... oops...

Cookie Time!!!!

So yesterday Adam and I made cookies!! I have been craving them and now that Gabe is a little more tolerant of the things I eat, i.e. chocolate, we made them.

I love that picture!!

Actually I couldn't get him to help me but we will pretend.

So these are the best cookies ever!! I got the recipe from Kyle's Mom. I'm not sure where she got it from... and I hope that it's o.k. that I share because these are to good not to share!

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2 cups shortening
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
4 eggs
Cream together
2 tsp baking soda(dissolved in 2 tbsp water)
2 tsp vanilla
2 tsp salt
4 cups flour
3 cups old fashioned oats
12 oz chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups nuts (optional, for you nut lovers out there. I prefer no nuts)
Bake for 7-9 minutes or until golden brown (I end up baking for around 12 or 13 minutes but I do rather large cookies)
Make sure you don't over bake them like I have done before..
they are much better a little on the gooey side!!

Yummmmmm........

Pillow time

So Adam has started to take his pillow everywhere with him with his blanket. He decided he wanted to lay by the front door for some reason.

By the way.... yes, we are still remodeling and every time Kyle goes to take the excess foam off the door frame Adam freaks out... So yes we need to just do it some time when Adams not around, but Kyles work schedule has been pretty crazy, so I'm just glad that we finally got the new door on for now.

Back to Adam... He is usually really good at staying in bed and going to sleep. He will sometimes get out of bed and grab something and then jump back into bed. So when I check on him when he is asleep there is a toy joining him and Pooh Bear in bed. Every night he goes and takes the nightlight covers off and then jumps back into bed and goes to sleep... silly boy!! Every once in a while I'll go to check on him when it is time for him to be going to sleep for either nap or bedtime. I'll peek in and he has taken his pillow and blanket and he is laying on the floor right next to his bed looking at his blanket. So I go in and say"Let's get back into bed and go to sleep!" So then I help him with his pillow and he will usually go to sleep.

He is so funny with his blankets... He has his first favorite blanket that he takes almost everywhere with him. (the one in the picture.) Then his second favorite blanket that he likes to have covering him in bed. So like I mentioned before, when he is going to sleep he likes to lay there looking at his favorite blanket. And it's usually the edges of the blanket for some reason...

Everbody's Got A Laughing Place

Adam was watching Play With Me Sesame on Sprout network, and it was a scene where Kermit wanted to show the difference between light and dark. So just as he turns the light out Grover comes in. Then all you can see are their eyes, and you know Grover. So the eyes are going all over the place and smashing into everything including Kermit.
