week in review

We've kept it pretty low key this week. Some beach, movies, a trip to the temple, a little shopping. I still get a little nervous about leaving the house with the two little ones. Tristan has good and bad days, and I never know which day it's going to be for him. Betsy still sleeps most of the day. Her up hours are from 6:00 pm to 10:00 pm and up again around 3:00 am until she feels like falling asleep again, maybe 5:00. I've got to work on switching this around!

I heart fat babies. I really really do. I love all the rolls and chunkiness that comes with them. This little girl has been getting a lot of shut eye this week. It's very rare when we can get a picture of her with her eyes opened:

Tristan continues to find higher places to climb, like the side of our house. The higher, the better for him. I foresee many broken bones and stitches in the near future?

Whenever I try to take pictures of Miss Betsy, this is what happens:

Tristan jumps in the frame, pushing Betsy over, and we have a really sad girl for having her spotlight stolen.

It couldn't be more obvious that this little girl has a big crush on her dad. Whenever he walks in the room or she hears his voice, her eyes light up. And he's the only one that can really get her to smile right now. She loves him:

Tristan's discovered how to build a fort out of the couch cushions:

We have been seeing a lot of this cheesy smile lately. He pulls out this smile when he knows that he's done something wrong and about to get into trouble. He totally works us! We are working on the discipline thing. We found that this boy has a fascination with money (coins), so we have a money jar, where he can put coins in when he's done something good, and we take out coins when he misbehaves. If the jar fills up to a certain point, we go get chocolate ice cream. We are finding that there are way more coins coming out of the jar than going in. It's currently empty right now. It may take a really long time to get that chocolate ice cream of his! We are working on it though.

Tristan has discovered the photo booth on our computer. :)

Love your kiddos. How are they so cute? I MUST meet Betsy before she gets all skinny and grows out of her chubbiness. Chubby babies are the best!!!!!!!!
