Since this blog is mainly so I can have a record of the boys growing up I decided that I need to document how smart the boys are (not to brag or anything). Since they are twins I started having them count to ten to share since they could talk and they are really good at it now; in fact they pretty much can count to twenty with a few repeated numbers. Isaac likes the number 17. They can say their ABC's because that's another way that we share easily. They have known their colors and shapes for a long time. And my favorite thing that they can do now is spell their names. We sing the B.I.N.G.O. song and replace it with their names; they love it. They're so smart they must take after their daddy.

Last week Ethan and Isaac's cousins went to Disney World in Florida and brought them back Mickey Mouse ears. Isaac loved his so much that he wore it all the time for 3 days.

Derek has been in Virginia for the last 3 days for work and the boys have been a bit rowdy since he has been gone. Right after he left in the middle of the night on Monday morning Ethan woke up crying because he wanted to be baptized; at first I couldn't tell what he was crying about since it was so unexpected. He was even more distraught when I told him he could when he was 8; he wanted to be baptized now. Last night I took them to their very first Cub Scout derby car race. We built our own Swiss cheese car with mice on board. I will have to take pictures of it later.

Since I went to Utah I have had inspiration to make new crafts! I saw both of these in a craft store and thought I could make those but yet it came out a different version because I couldn't find the same wood or wooden monkey; so I painted curious George on the one board that is going about the boys window, I thought it was more appropriate for their personalities. The other one is slightly different with the coloring and such. I was so excited after doing them I thought I would share.

It is so hard to find a good price on boys church clothes I was so excited to find some at Ross last Tuesday. Isaac was so excited to wear a tie like Daddy he wanted to wear his suit as soon as we got home.

I am now 14 weeks pregnant; which is 3 months and 2 weeks. The good news is that I am not as nauseous as I was last month and the bad news is that I have a cold and still feel sick but with different symptoms! We do have a count down until the 5 month ultrasound! It is going to be April 23rd at 3:00. So I will let you know then what this baby will be. I am nervous and excited all at the same time.

Last weekend we went to Utah for baby Brennan's blessing with the whole family in a 15 passenger van. It was 8 hours each way with 5 boys. Luckily it wasn't that bad and the boys did really well. They actually stayed dry and clean most of the trip. We went to the zoo and a very nice and fancy restaurant.
