We have LOVED the jumperoo! Hours of entertainment (seriously--Austin has been known to stay in this for up to two hours--bad mothering, but so convenient!)
And both boys have fallen asleep at least once, this is Scott.
Scott left, Austin right--they love trying to play with the same toy.
Going to some BYU football, we love going to the games, and on top of that, a visit from my dad! Always fun to see them!
And sitting up!! (Almost!) They can both sit up for at least 10 seconds or so, depending on when it is, but Scott has sat up for about a minute, so they are so close. This is Austin, and he is doing pretty darn good too!

I spilled almost an entire BIG box of cheerios by trying to hit a fly with it. I would love to claim that Kate made this mess, but I did it (and I didn't get that stupid fly either!)
I have loved this little bike trailer where all these little skinny bums (well Kate is a skinny bum anyway!) fit. They like it pretty well too!
We have LOVED our raspberries. This is by far our best garden produce year out of the 4 we've had a garden. We got about 8 batches of jam, 2 delicious raspberry pies, some salsa, some canned peaches, and we have 18 big pumpkins (more pictures to come of that!) We have never had even close to this good of a production year, so we are thinking it was all that rain that came early and it being a cooler year. Anyway, it has been fun to see it happen.
The kids all love each other and that has been fun (we'll see how much they love each other in a couple years!)
I even got really brave and took all the kids to the zoo!
Carson, Kate, and Sadie.
The baby elephant was SO cute!
We have been taking Kate to all the BYU games, and she has been doing well, she loves going, and it's nice because it can be our special date with her.
We have bathed all the kids together a little bit. Each time we have had them all together, without fail, you will hear Kate scream, "_____ peed on me." I can't help but laugh!
Jeff has been studying SOOO hard for his PE. It will be over in 2 weeks, so we are glad! Jeff has been putting in so much time in trying to get ready!
LOVED having my mom here for a week! After she left, I was SO rejuvenated. It was just a really fun week!
Kate and her cousin Kyle
Kate is so sweet to her brothers (this is Austin)
Playing with cousins at the park.
The boys do this on a regular basis, somehow, they put their little feet up and pull this down.
Buying lots of diapers and wipes--here is about $400 worth! I love it (this does last a couple months)
And, this has been my big project--252 4 inch squares! It has taken a long time, but I think it turned out pretty cute. I just finished today. This is for Kate by the way.
Life is good though! We are starting to feel like we are getting in the swing of things--only 8 months! It's a good think I didn't know that in the beginning because that sounds like a really long time, but it has actually flown by! The boys are so fun and I am just enjoying our little family.

Cute post, Julie! It seems like things are getting more manageable and that you're enjoying them a lot! They are SO CUTE. I love that they all fit in the bike trailer! My boys are squished, just the two of them! I think that I'm getting to where I can tell the difference between your boys without the captions. We'll see if I do that well when I see them in person. Good luck to Jeffy on the PE!
such a fun update! you are brave heading to the zoo with all the kids. the boys are getting big. I loved the pictures of diapers and formula :) I totally relate :)
What a wealth of fun photos! Never a dull moment at your house! The boys always look so happy and alert! I love the quilt - great color choices! How did you do that with 3 littles ones?
Those kids are adorable! I love the blanket - I have used those same dots!
HOOOOOOOOOOOOORAY! I love, love, love, loved this post!!! My fave pic is of you and the kids with the elephant. As for the Cheerios... stupid fly! That quilt is ADORABLE! Thanks so much for the post... I love seeing what goes on day to day! Oh, I love the pic of how the boys pull that thing down on top of them too! So fab to see you yesterday!
That's a great quilt! I'd love to know how to make a quilt someday. All of those pictures were so stinkin' cute, I love seeing what you guys are up to these days. We can't wait to get together next week!!!
ohh and your boys look a lot alike. At first I thought they were totally different, but now they really resemble each other.
Wow, you are a busy, busy mother and handle it all quite well! What adorable kids! Too bad we haven't bumped into you at any of the BYU games......of course, we're always the ones going for the opposing team!!! :D
