Boys are growing

Enoch and Noah have been playing outside seriously every second they are awake. And its been nice having the windows open these cool days, so I can hear where they are and what they are doing even though im inside getting things done. I sat at the table and read this morning while watching them run around the backyard playing hunters with their guns, milly chasing them while they were chasing the chickens. It was slightly raining, but I really dont think they noticed. They've found mice, frogs, more baby birds, and will climb anything they can find. Today they climbed our white fence in the front, and had fun scooting their feet horizontally as far as they could go down the fence line. They climbed max's gate to the cows (up and down, up and down) they attempted the chicken cage, and then the big cucumber arch at grandma's garden. I was underneath it picking peas when I hear "mooooommy" and I had to look UP to see them both directly above me ontop of the arch just looking down and laughing. Soon they'll be on the roof, just like their daddy was at the age of 3.

Yesterday I yelled out the door "NOAH-U OK?" and I hear below me "tay!" so I followed the little voice to find him hiding under the stairs of the back deck, sitting there petting Finney, who was under there too. I poked my head between the steps and he looks at me with a big smile and whispered "hiiii." He loves to hide. Uh oh! Then I yell "EEEENOCH-U OK?" and his head pokes out of millys dog house "WUP, im otay." How is it that I went from having a newborn and I one year old, to now almost a 2 and 3 year old! Make them stop growing! I love this age though. I just went to check on them tonight, and Enoch is sleeping on the edge of the bed on his side, and Noah is right up against his back, all cuddled in. You could fit another person on the other side, there is so much room. I love that they love each other! Oh and the other day, Enoch felt my belly while the baby was actually kicking (sometimes I pretend and bump it out to see what he'll say) but he felt the moves and kicks and smiled real big, and with a little chuckle said "I love babies everywhere."

My view from the door, yes that is Noah on the tire swing way out in the yard, with Milly watching over him.
Watching Looney Tunes in their seats. Enoch pretending to sleep


His new friend of the day fits on his head!



"Here, lay right here by Enoch" were the words I heard before I snapped this picture. Of course Noah ran over to join brother, in whatever he was doing. Im not sure if he even saw the frog there in the middle.




These are my climbers looking at the baby lambs


Long day-Goodnight my boys!






Things to remember



Nicknames the boys have come up with for people: DDD, Bumpy, ReeRee, Uncle Don, Mickey Mark, ADD, Mommy's grandma






Routines: Boys to bed at same time AND in same bed, Enoch stays in bed all night (he would sneak to couch in the night) When can you get out of bed? "when sun up!" So at the break of dawn he comes and lays with us in bed. Daddy gets up. Enoch wakes up again to get his sippie out of fridge. Comes back to lay down. Noah comes to our bed and Enoch gets up again to get his bottle from the fridge. And they both come back to lay with Mommy! I love this....Notice im not up yet =)






-"sandrich....peebudder" (Noah, hungry apparently)



-"Your NOT in your bed!" (I stayed in the room with Noah one night when Enoch was with Mama Luci. He woke up at his dawn routine to come lay with mommy, only to not find me in my spot. He busted in the door to Noahs room, glarred at me until I woke up and said this....then shut the door. I ruined his morning =)



-Noah is potty trained before two and sleeping in big bed-tasks accomplised before new baby!



-After a rough day of grocery shopping, going to the park, having pains, and being so tired, we come home to find bones all over the porch from our dogs, their food spilled everywhere and my flowers dug up. Then I walk into our house just to remember how messy everything was and how dirty our white carpet keeps getting. I sat on the couch and burried my face and just wanted to cry. Enoch came over and put his hand on me and said "Its otay mommy, Its otay. I'll sweep" =)
