Sharing Boys

On Sunday as I was dressing Bridger and realized that all of his onesies were in the laundry. So we borrowed one- from CARTER. I always knew that my boys would share clothes, just thought that it would take a few years, not months!

A Day on the Farm

Last week we went to Schuster's Playtime Farm, a pumpkin patch and petting zoo that lots of city folk around here go to. Yes, it is a sad fact that we are officially "city people." And this realization, again, left Ben in mourning for the rest of the day. For those of you who don't know, Ben was raised on the empty plains of Wyoming, which he dearly misses and longs for the day when he too will have his own piece of land with grazing cattle, horses, chickens, goats and many sheep. He talks about it often and refers to is as his "hobby farm" trying to make it more appealing to me. I was raised on a dairy farm and frankly don't miss it at all. There are two things that we both agree on and they are Bridger would be a great country boy and a farm is a great place to raise children. So until Ben gets his hobby farm, we pay people to experience what Ben and I did everyday as a child. Bridger loved it....Well, he loved climbing all the fences, tromping through all the mud and puddles, playing in the piles of corn, lifting all the pumpkins he possibly could and having the chance to run wild without hesitation. Bridger liked looking at the animals from a far, but wasn't too keen on them close up. Carter was a good sport until he got cold and hungry. We had a great day out in the country and have some fun pictures to share.

Talking Bridger

Ben and I are so amazed at how fast our boys are growing. Bridger has been full of babble with an occasional thrown in word for months. But just over the last week, he is picking up so many words and remembering so many things that he can now talk to us about. I am now making a list of the new words that he likes to repeat and use. He is at such a fun stage and gets really excited over alot of things. This week it has been the moon, buckets, leaves and pumpkins. He has stopped using "mine" and now uses "Bridger's" to describe EVERYTHING. We love it.

SO big!

Today I was looking at Carter and I am still so amazed at how big he is. I realize he is a big baby, and maybe you think the amazement should pass, but it hasn't. I will probably continue to be surprised for a while, so bare with me. I really don't feel like he eats any more than Bridger did, he rarely wakes up at night to feed anymore, so I just don't know where it is coming from. This is a picture of his cute little chubby face that I took today.

Mission: Organization

I realize that I have not been posting lately. I have been on a rigorous mission to finally get my house organized. I have been on a shopping spree for baskets and rubbermaids, organizational cubes, closets and shelves. I have been through every closet and cupboard at least once. (Carter is on his THIRD complete wardrobe change -6 month size, some 9) I have cleaned almost every inch of the house and I love it!! Having a clean, cute house brings me lots of accomplishment and joy. So, that is my excuse for not posting. I am rubbing off on Bridger, I fear, and he loves to sweep, vacuum, mop, dust, rake, shovel.... anything that he can sing "clean up" to. I have some videos, maybe I will post those later. Here is a picture with "Bridger's vacuum."

Carter comes along with all my chores, here we are loading the dishwasher.
