I'm still alive
Wow, I leave a post like that and then it seems as if I have fallen off the earth. I am still alive, no worries. In the last 6 months,the twins have gotten a little easier. They are talking a ton, so no more guessing! They love to go poddy on the big boy toilet. They are probably more than ready to poddy train, but to be honest it just gives me anxiety thinking about it. I know I waited until close to 3 with Andrew, so I think that is the excuse I will use for now. They will be 3 in January though, so I'm getting close.
I am beginning to think Jaxon is a genious or something. All of the sudden the kid is telling us colors of things. How, I have no idea. Nobody has been teaching him colors. It is the weirdest thing! Kinda creepy. Can you say "Rain Man"? Lol, just kidding but seriously it is strange. He loves Dora the Explorer, so I guess she could be teaching him. I have no idea, but he is really good! He has also learned to open doors that have child lock door knobs on them. Strange, because I usually have to let the neighborhood kids out when they can't get them open. So now we have placed locks up near the tops of the front doors. I was sick of finding them out in the street. He has the funnest personality, and gets so excited about things. He is my little cuddle bug.
Izaac is as fun as ever! He is our little mischeif child. The kid is like a monkey, he grabs the fridge doors and climbs up them and hangs. Don't worry we now have to keep a ribbon tied tightly around the fridge doors to keep them out. Good times. I was sick of finding bottles of things spilled all over the floor. He speaks so clear though. He is like a little adult. His favorite thing to say right now is "oh my goodness", it is seriously the cutest thing ever. He has a little lisp to go along with it. My heart melts every time he speaks. It is so funny all the things they pick up from us. I love this age, I really do. They are getting to be a lot of fun. Izaac pretty much breaks everything though. He broke our front window with an icecream scoop. He has popped out almost all of the screens on the windows. He writes all over the walls. He loves to pull out the heat vents and put various things down them. Unfortunatley, he has urinated down them many times. He has broke 2 kitchen chairs from standing on them and leaning back. He pulled the dishwasher out of where it was mounted because he was jumping on the door. The list just goes on and on. He is adorable though. He keeps us busy and laughing. God made him adorable for a reason :)
Andrew just started first grade. He had a hard time waking up, and being there all day for a couple days. I think he is getting used to it though. He has homework every day now, but he is so smart. He gets 100% on every spelling test. I picked him up from school today and one side of his shorts ripped from the leg up to his crotch. He came out of school laughing and his shorts flapping in the wind. He said it happened in one of his classes and then he just went the rest of the day trying to hold it shut. You could totally see his underwear. It was so funny. He said all day he just wanted to get up and run home. I am so glad he found humor in it. He is so much fun. He helps me with the twins sooooooo much. He loves to wrestle with them. He is extremely mature for his age. I don't know what I would do without him. He is my little angel. He is the most honest person I have ever met. Never tells a lie, never. He is such a good kid.
Shaun just started fourth grade. He isn't much a morning person either. He seems to really enjoy school though. He loves scouts and skateboarding. Always keeps himself pretty busy. He is a good kid, and loves making people happy.
Julie is in 6th grade this year. Major girly girl. She is a cheerleader and is always almost poking your eyes out while doing her cheers. Her arms never stop moving. She loves it. She has her first game on Saturday and is way excited! She is such a doll!
Keven is in 8th grade (eeks). He is growing up so much! I love this age. He is so much fun. I can't wait until the house is filled with teenagers. He is definitely a ladies man these day though. Never without a girlfriend! He is such a cutie.
We are super busy with all the kids. I really wouldn't want it any other way though. My hubby, and all of these kids really complete me. I love being a mom and step- mom and staying at home to raise the twinners. Warner is the most amazing husband I could ask for. I really believe he is my soul mate. I am so blessed with my family. I need to remember how blessed I am when things get tough though :)...
The last 5 months or so I have started couponing. I have so much fun with it. Nothing feels better when you save 80% on groceries. I have various websites that I look at everyday that help me get ready for my shopping adventures. I have a few of their buttons on here, take a look! They are so much fun!

A day in the life of having twins....
It is 7:00a.m. I am laying on the floor on a bed I made beside Izaac's Crib, because apparently he wants a big boy bed but won't stay in his room alone with one. So I hear singing, it's Jaxon. He is like a bird, chirping his beautiful songs early in the morning. Think fast, I need to get to him before he wakes Izzac. I turn to my left, Izaac is staring at me. Too late. I need to get them both downstairs before Andrew wakes. I come out of Izaac's room as quiet as possible with a 2 year old. Too late, Andrew was awakened by the beautiful chirping from Jaxon's room.
Time for the morning sippy cup of milk. I must hurry, the twins have not developed patience just yet. All set. Turn on Elmo, get the boys settled for their morning cartoon. And it starts......
The twins surround the DVD player, not sure which one pushed eject. I start the movie , they sit down and seem to be content. Warner leaves for work. This when my little angels begin their day of terrorizing mom.
It is time for breakfast. They love cereal, such big boys I know. So they are in their high chairs eating like angels. I run upstairs to grab the laundry, I hear laughing. This couldn't be good! As I approach the bottom of the stairs I hear the bowl hit the floor and then the other. Perfect! Ok next thing on the list. Bath time.
Bath time goes smooth except Izzac won't sit down and keeps kicking water in Jaxon's face. Huge mess! So now they are clothed and ready for the day. I must hurry downstairs to clean the cereal mess before they get to it. Done. Now the bathroom. I must hurry. I hear laughing. I run downstairs. They have have the dishwasher open and both are standing on the door taking my dirty dishes out. SO I clean up that mess, and get back to the bathroom.
It is now 10:30, time to get Andrew ready for Kindergarten. This is a very tricky time, I shower him and just have to pray my house stays safe from the twins. Andrew's showered. Time to see the damage. As I approach the bottom stair, Jaxon greets me. He has purple marker all over his hands. Not good! Izaac is standing on the dishwasher door. He is extremely happy to point to the cupboards and drawers that his brother just colored on. He is very good at distracting me. I now clean up what I can of the marker mess. I make Andrew lunch, as I pass by the sliding glass door I notice more marker. "Note to self, clean marker after lunch". As I am making lunch the twins keep opening the oven. It's ok, it's off right? Wrong, now they are taking the shelves out of my oven and their hand are black. Clean them up. This is my countdown to nap time. Can't wait!
Ok 11:20 it's time to get Andrew to school, I carpool so I must hurry. Andrew is at school now, we are on our way home. I look in my rear view mirror Izaac has escaped his carseat. How he does this I have no idea. He is buckled in extremely tight. We get home I get the boys in their beds and ready for nap. I have to lay in Izaac's room until he falls asleep. My countdown to sanity begins. He is breathing heavy. I am way excited. Just then the beautiful chirping begins from Jaxon. Izaac is wide awake. Oh wonderful now Jaxon is yelling Izaac's name now. I tell Izaac to stay, and go into Jaxon's room. I quiet him in hopes Izaac didn't follow me in. I turn around, and there he is. Jaxon stand up and greets him with a smile. They laugh. I want to cry. I start the process over. They are asleep. Thank the lord.
I come downstairs to clean up the house and finish laundry. Half hour goes by and Jaxon is churping again. Izaac comes walking down the stairs. Lovely no nap today I suppose. I need a shower, I have had it. I give up. If they destroy my house at least I will be clean and somewhat sain. I shower and bite my lip as I come downstairs. Great Izaac is on the computer desk and Jaxon has the old laptop on the floor taking the keys out one by one. The dishwasher is open and so is the oven. The wipes are scattered from one end of the house to the other. Ok time out for babies. SO I clean up this mess, and they escape from time out. Can't find them. I hear voices in the basement. Haleluiah they are finally playing with their toys. Right, Izaac comes to the top of the stairs. He has this new thing where he won't keep pants or diapers on. It's fun. So we go find the diaper and put it back on.
I sit on the couch with both of them pleading for some kind of treaty. They are laughing and we are all happy. I must get my chores done, so I ask them to go play with their toys in the toy room. Keven and Andrew come home from school. I am very excited to see them hoping they can bring some sort of relief to my day.
You must know that in the time I have been typing this. Jaxon learned the diaper trick from his brother and brought me a full one filled with poo. I did change it and put his pants back on. The dishwasher is open and so is the oven. I also forgot to mention I do tape the dishwasher shut with box tape. They have figured out how to get the tape off. I just went into the kitchen and Jaxon emptied a drawer of papers and urinated all over them. I can hear their musical toys in their which mean they are going through the things on the counter. I must go, I have lots to do. Just had to get it all out!

I can't believe how fast Christmas comes and goes! Months and months of preparing and before you know it, it's gone. We had a such a great Christmas! We enjoyed seeing family that we don't see too often, and those we do see. I love you all so much. The spirit of Christmas is such an amazing thing to feel. I absolutely love the holidays. I love seeing the world come together to give to those who are less fortunate. It really is such a beautiful time of year, and brings out kindness in all. I am so thankful for my family. Things get so hectic sometimes, and I forget to stop and count all my blessings. My heart is very full this time of year. Thank you to all for making it so wonderful for us.
