Busy, busy

This past month has been crazy busy so I have been a slacker when it comes to blogging lately. Our baby twins are getting to be even more busy. They definately are double trouble when it comes to getting into mischief. They follow each other around empty cupboards or whatever else they can get their little hands on. They are great mess makers but they are so much fun. They both love to cuddle and give us loves. Especially Madison, she loves anything soft and she will lay her head against and cuddle it. Kinsley loves to be held, well Madison does too but Kinsley seem to come find me more and hang on to my leg so I will pick her up, and quite often Madison is right behind her and is hanging on to the other leg. They sure love to wacth each other and be together and lately their new thing is to give each other loves and kisses. I can't think of anything that melts my heart more than to see that. They both now can say "uh-oh", "mama", and "dat"(that), Madison has 4 teeth on bottom and 4 on top, Kinsley has her 4th coming in on bottom and 3 on top I haven't seen her 4th poke through yet. Depsite them both getting tubes in their ears in January we are still struggling with ear infections and lots of yucky goop draining out of their ears. Syndey had this problem too, it seemed like by the time she was 2- 2 1/2 it got better. I hope it does not take that long. I tried to bath thme at the same time. Not a good odea they are too busy and wiggly it was hard and made me nervous. I wonder when I can start bathing them at the same time. That would be nice. I think we will have to wait a couple months more though. They wave hello and bye-bye. Madison was really into this at church this past Sunday and waved at almost eveyone she saw, especially other babies, I wonder if that's because they will wave to each other at home. Oh and speaking of church it is EXAUSTING, really I don't know who keeps us busier the 2 baby girls or the 2 boys. They will pull themsleves up and walk along things while hoding on or walk with their little walker toy, but haven't stood on their own yet. They LOVE playing peeakboo and patty cake and will bounce and dance when they hear music. They are great eaters which I guess would be obvious looking at them and all their baby rolls, which I adore!! I love these two girls. I feel incredibly blessed to have them.
Jackson has gotten so big he is officially potty trained Yeah!! and likes to do everything by himself. Including wipe his own bum, yeah I know you all wanted to hear about that, but it makes me excited. I love that he likes to do things himself but sometimes when I am in a hurry it can try my patience. Speaking of trying my patience he is king of that. He has such spunk in his personality which we love and get a kick out of most of the time. Other times I wonder what to do with him. I love though how he likes to be right by my side in eveything I am doing and help. Whether it's changing diapers, doing dishes, laundry or whatever he is a great helper. He also loves to open doors for me. What a gentleman! Last night we were all getting in the car he went to get in and then ran around to my side and opened my door for me and then ran back around and climbed back into his chair. I love my little Jack.
Layton is pretty close to opposite of Jackson. He would be so happy if I would do everything for him. Too bad his mom is not that nice. He is a goof ball at our house and I often wonder where he comes up with some of the things he says! I think I hear him shout "Cannon Ball!!!" 25 times a day. I have no idea wher that came from but he has yelling it since summer. He has even gotten some of the other biys at school to yell it too. I'm sure their parents wonder why on earth they are shouting that. He is such good boy and I am amazed at his patience and love with all his siblings. I think he is alot like his Dad. I love my Layton and all the good laughs he brings to our home.
Sydney is the 2nd mom around here. I really don't know what I would do without her. She is so sweet with her baby sisters and take such good care of them. She loves to hold them and play with them and feed her girls. She is so good with her brothers too. She quite often has an activity planned for them to do, and keeps them pretty well entertained. She is so smart and in January got selected from her class to particapet in a school spelling bee. She did so well, despite her nerves. I was so proud of my brave little girl.
Tyler and I have been busy getting our house ready to sell. Keeping the house clean is a challenge, so hopefully it sells fast. We are trying to sell it ourselves through a military website for selling homes. We have one person interested right now, and hope that works out. If you'd like to check out our house go to www.militarybyowner.com then click on Oklahoma, then Vance AFB
