Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to me! I was thinking today in church how thankful I am to have twins. You know the story by now of how much I wanted them and what a blessing it was. I can't believe it already happened and you are 4. Several times a week I think that...where is time going to. You two are hilarious to be around and watch. Juliet you are such a little Sienna and so sassy and bossy. You like to get things done and help me when needed and I am super thankful for that. Jace is low key and pretty laid back, so it helps to have someone willing to do things. He loves the wii and any thing with balls and bats. He can be so cuddly when he wants to be but not when I usually want him to be. :) He has had a smidge of  a little prob lying lately, but finally admitted the truth the other day, so maybe we are turning a corner. Juliet you are so pretty and well, girly. You are a lot like Jayda in that way. You don't care much about sports and would just rather watch. But you will entertain us sometimes with a game on the wii or outside. You are both so smart. So big. You both had your shots last week, and did so good. Juliet was super nervous and Jace volunteered to be first. What a good boy. You now have your shots for kindergarten and even though you don't go this year...you will be going next year in 2018. How is that possible? I seriously am at a loss for words. You two are so fun to be at home with and I am glad we have another year. I love you both so much. You were an answer to some very long prayers over the years. :) much love!!!!

4 and more!

Well time goes by fast and keeps us all busy. I haven't written for a bit, but what a Christmas and New Year's and 4th birthday you had. You really enjoyed family here for Christmas. Uncle Raul came a few days before everyone else and you two were super confused I think, calling him grandpa...but he loved it and Jace, especially warmed up to him. :) I was so glad. You all loved Michael too and of course Auntie Angie is always a big party when she comes. We had a good holiday. Then before we knew it, your birthday was here. You guys were so excited and Jace even counting down til the next one before bedtime. :) We spent evening at Chuck E Cheese, for your first time and you guys really had fun. We opened a few presents there and came home for cake and icecream. Jace wanted a Mario Kart cake and Juliet had a Shopkins. You are both so cute and big now. I look at you often and can't believe how big you look. You don't look like toddlers anymore. I am wondering where the time went. Juliet, you are so sassy and so often remind me of Sienna at that age. But a little more calm. You are so smart and a little bossy. The other day you were getting out of the car and told Jace "Ladies first!" You try to console him sometimes like a much older sister (older than 2 minutes)...this morning he was whining he didn't want to say the opening prayer in Primary, so you rubbed on his arm and shoulder and like a parent consoled him and said it would be ok. He was super annoyed about that by the way. Its funny. You also take good care of Scarlet these day and tend her. You are so adorable. I love the little lisp you speak with and try to etch in on my heart when I hear you talk. It is so adorable. Jace, you are just a ball of fury and sports. You want to play the wii all the live long day. You, in truth, are on electronics way too much. We need to work on that. But you love sports and you have been super funny lately. Every time dad and I leave or just me to go to the store or something, you get in a frenzy until I give you a hug and kiss and then you say "BYE MOM" a trillion times until I walk out the door. I am not sure why that started, but it is as if you almost hate us to leave and wonder if we will come back. Because you have done if for several weeks now, Juliet, Kason, and even Scarlet do the same thing now. It is a circus to leave the house. But I will take your hugs and kisses any day. Because you are boy and girl twins, you definitely have your difference, and do your own thing, but you also love to play together and if we are doing something or you are getting something, you make sure to know where the other is or get one for each other. We were somwhere the other day and Juliet was a little behind with some of the other kids...and Jace was looking for you and asked "Where is Juliet?" He didn't want to leave you behind. Those moments remind me you are twins and I adore them. I adore you both and hope I can write more of your quirks in here more often. I am just sad the time is going by so fast and you are getting big so quickly. I love you dearly.
