And I wonder why I can never keep my house picked up!
Brian has been back in school for a few weeks now and I've been adjusting to having him gone again. The boys are adjusting in their usual way (getting into as much trouble as possible). Time is just flying by. Ben is 2 1/2 and Jeffrey is 15 1/2 months old now. Jeffrey has FINALLY started walking just this last couple of weeks. I always wondered what was taking him so long until I saw what happened every time he tried to walk. I guess Ben isn't thrilled about the idea of Jeffrey being able to keep up with him, so every time Jeffrey starts walking Ben jumps on the opportunity to knock him down. Ahhhh brotherly love. :) Somehow Jeffrey has overcome that opposition and is getting around everywhere now. Unfortunately the only video I have of him walking right now is a video where Ben is throwing a tantrum, but Brian and I thought it was hillarious how Jeffrey was showing off his cool Cookie Monster slippers in front of Ben (the slippers used to be his). Of course Ben is insanely jealous. Enjoy! -Shelly-
Jeffrey's revenge
It's been funny to see how Jeffrey is old enough now to start tormenting Ben the way that Ben torments him by taking his favorite things and not letting him play with toys. This is the start of a whole new world for us with disciplining. I keep thinking that Jeffrey's too little to be capable of tormenting his brother, but I'm slowly finding out that this just isn't true.

Yay! I finally got new batteries for the camera just in time for our trip to Atlanta!
Okay, so here are a few pictures from before the battery died in the camera (a little further down). We also had the opportunity to make an over night trip to Atlanta, Georgia without our kids. We had a blast! Our friends Gabby and Jerry watched the boys for us overnight at their condo (thank you sooo much!!!). Brian and I haven't been overnight without the boys since they were born (at least not that I can remember). We went to Atlanta to support our friend Janell Logan from church who was going through the LDS temple for the first time. We just happened to make a second honeymoon-type trip out of it as well. It was so nice to not stop the car because of a crying baby or messy diaper. We ate at a nice restaurant after we arrived at 9:30pm where Brian had lobster tail and fresh Chilean bass with (virgin) daceries and pina coladas. He was in heaven!!!! It was VERY nice to spoil ourselves. Unfortunately I didn't bring the camera in with us when we went to the restaurant so we don't have any pictures of that. To sum it up, it was 24 hours of heaven on earth for these two exausted parents! Enjoy the pictures! P.S. I still don't have the pictures from the big sewage dig in our backyard, I'll post them when I get them. -Shelly-
Okay, so I had a craving for a SMALL chocolate dipped vanilla icecream cone from Dairy Queen.
Evidently Brian takes these cravings VERY seriously because he got me the biggest one they offered!!!!
The boys cooperate very nicely while getting their clothes on if they're somewhere unusual like their carseats.
Don't let their cute little innocent faces fool you, usually I'm chasing them all around the house to get their clothes on!!!!
