Who is Who????

Which baby is Ike and which is Quilon??? Lately I think that the two of them are looking so much alike. They are brothers that is for sure. Can you tell them apart?

They Just Keep Growing

So it has been about a month now that I have been staying home with my boys. I can't believe how fast the time has gone. It was one of the best decision that I think I have ever made was to stay home with my kids. I am loving it so much! I was really hoping that once I started staying home with my little guys that they would seem like they were not growing up so fast. Boy was that a stupid thought. They are not slowing down at all! But my thought was I see them more I won't think they are changing that fast as when I only got to see them a few hours a day. I think maybe they are changing much faster now.

Ike is starting to have chores and having to help me out a lot more while I am doing other things around the house. Every time I unload the dishwasher he is in charge of putting away the silverware. He also does many other things around the house too.....

He helps feed Quilon sometimes when I am making dinner,
that is sometimes really interesting.

Ike also gets to make his own sandwiches!
Peanut butter, Nutela, and Cheese. Yummy!

Ike's new favorite thing to do is play Guitar Hero
with the Twins.

Quilon is growing like crazy these days. He is just shy of four months old by like a week. We think that he weighs close to 18lbs already!! What a beast he is. He is laughing all the time these days. It is so great to hear. He loves it when Ike "plays" with him too. It is so sweet. Quilon is soooo close to rolling over. He will soon I am sure.

Laughing and drooling away!

Quilon ate cereal for the first time last night and he loved it!

I Want My Family

I am really missing my family these days. I hate that we live so far apart from each other. It sucks like no tomorrow. It has been over four years that I have lived close to my family and I thought that I would be able to handle seeing them only on holidays. Well the holidays don't come close enough and the drive with two little kids isn't what I would call fun. Phone calls to my family are really treasured these days but I just can't see them through the phone. I know that someday I will live closer to them. But I just want it NOW! Waiting is so hard.

Orientation

Today was my first paid day at my new job! To bad it was boring orientation. As boring as it was I did survive it and it did only last for three hours. So I guess that isn't to bad. The bad part is that I have to take 15 online courses/test by Wednesday! Do they not know that I am a mom of two crazy boys that take all my time and attention!!! Obviously not. I mean I do get some time in the evenings or whenever Seth is home. I know I will get it done and what not but I was like WHOA!

I officially start on Wednesday. My supervisor is really great for letting me be very picky about when I can work. I am only able to go in whenever Seth will be home with the boys. We were going to send the kids to our old day care moms house, however she is pregnant and has been really sick. So she can't take my kids. But thankfully my boss is really flexible.

I hope that I will like my new very part time job. We will see come Wednesday!

The Great Pumpkin Patch

On Sunday the whole family went to The Great Pumpkin Patch. By the whole family I mean Seth, his parents, his sister and her hubby and little girl, I ke , Quilon, and I. So really the whole family. Ike had such a blast. He got to feed goats, play on tractors , and go out in the pumpkin fields. We also tortured Quilon by trying to do different poses with him. They didn't really work out as you can see by the pictures below, but we all had fun!

Hiding in the pumpkins or at least trying

The Begining of the torture

More torture for poor Quilon

Weekend Away

This weekend Seth and I drove out to Michigan to get our boys from my parents. It was so good to spend time with my family! But every time that we go out there we cram so many things into a short time. This time we went to a real high school football game, had a wedding shower for my sister, went to a movie, had Quilon dedicated, had people over and shopped of course.

Friday night we went to a real High School Football game. We don't have those here in Winona. The band actually preforms every week and are always dressed to preform every week, not just for homecoming. This isn't the best picture but I am sure you get it. The school also had cheerleaders. And they cheered!

This is my sister Melissa and her hubby to be Bobby. They are getting married December 26th and I am so excited for them. Saturday was the wedding shower for them. They got so much stuff it was crazy. But it was such a pretty shower. I was so happy that I was able to be there. I got to see some family and friends that I haven't seen in so long.


Sunday was the baby dedication for Quilon. Ike wanted to make sure that he looked extra cute so he decided to do his hair all by himself. He was given some assistance after he got upset that it wasn't standing. It was so great to see my boys after that long week with out them. I missed them so much. I am glad that we are all home together now.

Fireproof

Saturday night my sister Melissa, her soon to be hubby Bobby, Seth and I all went to see the movie Fireproof. It was so good. I was kind of shocked at how good it was. It was put out by the same people that did the movie Facing the Giants. It is a christian based movie about marriage and the struggles that happen with it. The movie did a great job at portraying the message clearly. It was funny at times and emotionally engaging. If you have seen Facing the Giants, you know that it was somewhat cheesy with a good message. Well, Fireproof is not nearly as cheesy and very entertaining. I strongly recommend the movie! Go see it if you can and support the good things that they are doing!!
