climbing before crawling...

Both Brody and Taylor have not crawled yet. They army crawl really fast, get up on all fours and rock but have not actually crawled. They just started pulling themselves up on furniture the other day. They are a little behind for their age. However they are right on track for their adjusted age. I have to adjust them back six weeks on everything because they came so early. This is only suppose to last the first year.

I usually have the stairs blocked off with a big bin. . They like to pull themselves up on the first step and then cry because they are stuck. Last night both boys went to bed just fine. I moved the bin after they were asleep. Brody decided to get up last night as he was not tired anymore. I forgot to put the bin back. When I was sitting on the couch I could hear brody but I could not see him...

He was climbing the stairs. When I found him he was already on the 4th stair....

Interesting that he can climb the stairs no problem, yet he can not crawl yet.

I don't even know where to begin....

I am so far behind on my blogging that I keep putting it off! I seriously do not even know where to begin. I guess the best part to start with is the biggest news of all.(No saving the best for last

around here!)

No this is not a joke. We have another baby on the way.... here are the answers to the questions you are probably asking yourself if you are done laughing that is..

Yes there is only one baby!

No we were not planning on having anymore children.. We were more than happy and content with three children. Lesson learned don't be content....

I am due February 14th. We will have 3 children under 15 months. Feel free to cry when you read this part.... Three kids under 15 months. I don't think there is anyway to prepare for this one.

Yes I was on birth control. Without getting too personal here. I have had cysts removed off of my ovaries. I was waiting until the boys were 6 months old to go in a see if I had new ones growing. If I did I was going to get everything taken out. If I did not have any cysts Dennis was going to have the "procedure" done. We got pregnant a week before the 6 month mark.

We all would like a girl. (Although Brody and Taylor can not talk and voice their opinion. I am sure if they could they would be the only two in the house hoping for a brother)

On with the rest of summer!

Audrey has loved her pool this summer. I am so glad we got her one. There has been no trips to the lake or beach this summer with two babies!

Audrey sure loves her daddy!

We took a trip to Mt. Rainier this summer. It was fun and the boys did great!

Not the best picture of taylor but it was the only one I got of both of them at the mountain.

We planted a garden..

This was the biggest Strawberry I have ever seen that was not for sale at the store. The green strawberry in the front was an average size strawberry to give you an idea of how big this sucker was. We got the plant from spooner farms...

The best thing in the whole garden. Peas....

Our Corn is doing awesome!

Who would have thought that I of all people would have planted a jalapeno pepper plant?

Our apple tree is huge. In fact it is so big that a huge branch brooke off the other day because it is too heavy with all of the apples.

Every night we go out and water the garden together. It is my favorite time of the day with dennis. We are not out there very long but I think it is safe to say the boys do not like this part of the day.

Well that is some of our summer adventures
