Update

I haven't posted pictures is SOOOOOO long! So here's a bunch! Some of them are from quite a while ago! My dad was in town for a while and we had some friends visiting this weekend and those pictures are included here too. I have some video that I will also try to post soon. We've had a really busy month and I'm not sure August is going to slow down. It's a great summer though!

We have had quite the week! Jared got a nasty stomach bug from somewhere and the symptoms appeared last Sunday (apprently you have it for several days and are contagious before you even show symptoms). Jackson had symptoms the same day. The boys went to their grandparents and so the next day Jaden and the entire Bryant family came up with it too. Jared's dad and I are the only two that somehow made it out without getting sick. So all last week I've been cleaning up lovely messes, shampooing the car multiple times (we had 2 incidents there last Sunday), going to the store 1000 times, disinfecting the house and doing laundry. Not to mention chasing everyone around with a can of lysol :) Jared was home all week since you're still contagious for a while after your symptoms are over - and it's super contagious. But everyone seems to be better now and we're getting back to normal!
On a more positive note, someone is supposed to be purchasing Jared's motorcycle tomorrow! Praise the Lord! We've been needing this to sell for a LONG time! Please pray that it all goes through (we don't want to count on it until cash is in hand)
The boys are getting into everything. Last night Jackson decided to eat some dog food while I was changing Jaden's diaper. It's "human grade food" (whatever that means!) but that is still gross. I fished a bunch out of his mouth. They love to play outside and get into the kitchen drawers. The other day Jared came out of the bathroom and found Jaden on the sofa using a cell phone to pretend to change the channels. They both like to be rocked at the same time now more than before and Jaden has been grumpy and super clingy since he has a couple teeth coming in in the back. They are both trying to say more words now. Jackson is actually doing this more than Jaden in my opinion which is wierd since Jaden has always been more verbal. Here are some things they like to say ( I will not say who is saying what but Jackson is saying most if not all of these)
Bah...ball
Bop....Bob (our dog)
Cah....car (and bicyle, truck, etc)
cuck...clock
gog...guitar
fas...flowers
mamamamamamamamama.....mom
da....dad
dah....dog
key....kitty
gigo...joey (our cat)
sus...shoes
jus...juice
cucka...cracker
booooowwwwww...rainbow

They like to "talk on the phone", Jackson will give you a high five, they will give you a hug if you ask them (well, they will for me anyway) and Jackson will run over and point to his chair if he is hungry. They also try to get out the back door (impossible at this point) when they want to go outside and love to feed food to Bob. They like to wash their hands (actully they just rub their hands together) and climb the stairs. Jackson especially likes to feed himself with a spoon. He can't get his food onto the spoon but once it's there he likes to do it and sometimes won't eat unless you let him do that.

We've taken them to the park a few times and last week we put them in a swing. They were a little too small for it but not in danger of falling out. They screamed and cried and when we pushed them they would laugh hysterically and then scream and cry over and over again. It was funny but didn't last long because of the screaming and crying. They were terrified but also thought it was great fun!

That might be all the new stuff going on. I haven't taken tons of pictures lately but I do have some which I'll hopefully get up pretty soon!
