I'm a slacker, I know!

Mostly I have no excuse as to why I only have two blogs (posts, thanks Bluemels), but the boys are being good right now and I figured I better get one done while I have the chance.

Just to get everyone up to speed:

Nate is done with classes for the spring semester and has already started one of his summer classes. He figures if he takes two classes this summer it will make his last year of undergrad a little easier. Also, he is still debating about a masters degree, so we will see what this next year brings.

Payton is growing like a weed. At playgroup with another ward last week some of the moms thought that he was 5 because he was towering over the other kids. I know he isn't near as tall as Corbin, but he is still pretty big. I am buying his pants from the little boy section now instead of the toddler section.

He is also really into learning the letters of the alphabet and loves to play games on the computer, mostly Playhouse Disney and Wordworld on PBS. It has been fun to watch him and see how much he has grown developmental-wise since I started letting him play on the computer. When he first started the mouse pointer was all over the screen and he was constantly asking for help. Now he can control it to the point where he can click and drag and hardly asks for help. He loves craft time, which is anything that involves scissors, glue, or my cricut and scrapbook stuff. We were working on the letter B and his craft for the day was to color, cut out, and glue the butterfly onto the yellow paper.

Cameron has turned into mister curious and is into everything. He especially loves to get into the pantry cupboard and pull out anything he can get his hands on. Lately though, he hasn't made it to the pantry because he stops at the drawer with all of the washcloths. So now he pulls out 3 or 4 and then walks around the house with them. He is getting better at walking and he is much faster, he was almost running after Payton yesterday.

This is Cameron after a busy morning. He won't hold still long enough for me to put his pants back on after a diaper change so I didn't even bother this time. I put the gate up and locked him in his room so I could take a quick shower, when I came out, this is what I found.

As for me, I am just trying to survive. After cleaning, cooking, laundry, and whatever else comes up each day, I love staying at home with the boys. I am amazed at their love for each other and how they play so well each day. I love doing craft time with Payton and bouncing Cameron on my exercise ball. They are a joy to be around and I am truly blessed that I can stay home with them.
