Jackson and tools
So we have a little toy that blows balls in the air and it has provided great entertainment to the boys over the last two years. As they have gotten older they like to put things in the toy so it gets "Clogged" with toys and it has to be cleaned out. So today Jackson brought the toy over to Nana Sue to have her Clean it out and when she told Jackson that she couldn't get everything out, daddy will need to fix it with a screwdriver, Jackson walked away as if he was going to get another toy. Well Jackson came back to Nana with the toy screwdriver to fix the toy! Never under estimate what a child can understand!

Gymnastics
We started gymnastics today and oh what fun we had! Mommy and Trish took us, one adult to one child and now we understand why. The adult had to hold us as we jumped on trampolines, climbed on mats and bars and tumbled down little hills- we had so much fun we can't wait to go back next week.
We just went to bed and tonight we unrolled an entire roll of paper towels in the bathroom before mommy could catch us- we left her a mess to clean up, but we don't think she will mind. Daddy took us to the gym for a little while tonight and we ran around in front of the mirrors and had a blast. Tonight was hot outside so we wore summer PJs to bed and Shane wanted to wear is long winter PJs with a snap so that he could sniff the little snap as he likes to do. He was crying when for a bit when he understood that he couldn't wear those winter PJs in this summer like heat!
Tomorrow Nana is coming over for the entire day to play with us! We are excited but we miss our Grandma Nancy and hope that she is feeling better soon to come play with us! We are falling asleep as mommy is writing this and now we are sleeping, until tomorrow...

Uncle Jay and Auntie Kate's wedding
This weekend was the wedding and it was great! There were people from all over the country there and we had fun for the 2 hours that we were there. Here are some photos from the big day- more will follow.
Wedding Preparations
The wedding is finally here and we are all excited to celebrate! Our cousins came into town and on Thursday night mommy and daddy had everyone to our house for a pizza party and Birthday cake- Auntie, Uncle Chris and Daddy all had celebrations. Mommy gave daddy a really cool chef hat that says "Little Dragon". On Friday we played with our cousins at home and went to the park, it was crazy fun!

how long does it take?
How long does it take to do things at our house? Well, that all depends.
Tearing apart the playroom: 2 minutes
Getting dressed: 5-15 minutes
Eating a meal: 0-20 minutes- it depends if the boys want to eat
Get dirty: 1 minute
Tearing apart the playroom is really the one that got me last night. Trish had straightened the playroom perfectly, everything was put away in its spot. The boys came down from their nap and literally within 2 minutes the room was trashed. Jackson got into the diapers and threw them all over the room then we would clean them up only to be thrown again. Shane was destructo man himself- climbing up on the toy step shelf: step by step throwing everything off each step- crash- he would smile, Bang- he would laugh, Bang - he would laugh more and then Jackson wanted a piece of the action. Mommy tried the time outs but it didn't work. They certainly had fun though last night! Now, if i can only get them to have that much enthusiasm to brush their teeth!

labor day weekend
Jackson and Shane have been very very active this weekend! we have played at the park and jumped off of everything! at home we have our little flappy ducks that Mike and Tanya brought us from the Chech Republic and we love those! We like to play with them PLUS they make great swords to hit everything with! (Mommy doesn't like the sword part, she takes them away from us).
When we get up in the morning we have started to jump up and down in our cribs and we like to yell and rattle the crib more and more every day- mommy thinks it will be pretty soon that we are able to crawl out of the crib- who hoo for us! not so much for mommy and daddy. We are both babbling a lot- not too many words but we have mastered Please, and whoof whoof for dogs. Speaking of dogs, at the dog park yesterday we were able to throw rocks- daddy thinks it is good for us to explore and be adventure hounds so he will let us do almost anything! Even play with big dogs we don't know- he doesn't mind, mommy on the other hand, gets a little nervous with the rocks and big dogs, but daddy says that she'll get over it.
We now play with Lego's, mega forms and our all time favorite Mr. Potato Head. This morning we figured out how to move the coffee table that is up against the fireplace so we can hide back there. It is a great spot to take things to and make a mess. Mommy made us a yummy breakfast this morning- eggs and toast and we were eating just fine, but as soon as daddy came in the kitchen it was play time- the food went on the floor and we laughed and laughed. Mommy did give us some yogurt and let us eat by ourselves, everything was fine until Shane put the yogurt on his head and before mommy could blink- Jackson did the same thing! it was CRAZY.
We have to go to the grocery store again today because Grandma, Grandpa and Nana are coming for a BBQ this afternoon and we lost the cucumber for the salad yesterday. But no worries, Jackson and Shane got into the apples before we could put them away and started eating the apples whole- which is much better than trying to eat a whole onion- (which is what we tried yesterday) yuck!
