A Comparison

How do they compare? Noah is on the left, Jason is on the right. I think the noses are quite similar. I get a kick out of the hair differences. Both boys wore the outfit Kyle was blessed in.

Noah's Blessing

 

We had a very special Mother's Day this year because we got to bless Noah that day as well. Because of the blessing we got to have Grandma Diane, Grandma Linda, and Great-Grandma Robbins with us on Mother's Day. Noah screamed during the whole thing, which meant we couldn't hear a word Kyle said, but we can still feel happy that Kyle did it. I am so grateful to have a husband who can bless us with the Priesthood.

After the Blessing we came back to our house and grilled hamburgers. The weather was perfect for this perfect day. I am so grateful to be a mother to these two cute boys.

Thirty-Four Months Old

Jason is thirty-four months old. Yesterday when I asked Jason to come wash his hands, he tried to get out of it by saying, "No, I'm a snake. Snakes don't have hands."

It is so fun to hear the things Jason imagines. He told me all about his day today, all the things he shopped for and the people he saw, none of which was true. Jason is becoming a builder and a maker. He loves to build train tracks and forts and to help Kyle with projects. He pestered Kyle all day Saturday to hurry up and build Noah's ceiling fan. Jason loves to help me make food in my kitchen. He also makes "food" for me in his play kitchen. Here are pictures of the muffins and soup I get to eat on a regular basis.

Jason had a blast helping grandma and grandpa plant their garden. Anything that involves getting into dirt, sand, rocks, sticks, water, or side-walk chalk is totally awesome.

  

And for the record, I don't dress Jason in pink sweaters. We had to borrow this one because we forgot to bring one. 

Three Months Old

Noah is three months old, so I figured it was time to take some new pictures. He is growing like a weed. He is at least 12 lbs. At his 2 month check he was fairly average in all his measurements. It is fun seeing him stare at toys now. And his smiles sure melt my heart.

 

 

I was going to delete this picture since Jason's head got in the way, but I decided to keep it because it is a good representation of how much Jason loves to smother Noah in love. Jason is always kissing Noah, patting his head, giving him toys, and calling him a million different nick-names. Kyle and I have picked up a few of them, such as "Noah-boah," "Noah-doo-dems," "No-aye," "No-ee," etc. I am continually amazed at the number of nick-names Jason can come up with for Noah.

Life really is crazy with these two boys, but I am looking forward to the time when they can entertain each other. Kyle and I had a good laugh the other day. We were all in Noah's room installing a ceiling fan. Kyle and were both looking up at the ceiling. I heard Noah making some noises, so I looked down and saw this:
