Their First Spring Break

The twins had their very first spring break this past week. To celebrate, we tried to have a fun activity each day. Here are the weekday highlights...

Lucky Kid

Paxton is a lucky kiddo. He gets so much one-on-one time with his Mama and Daddy.

Pregnancy Progression

So far (fingers crossed for the next 11 weeks- I'm at 29 weeks right now), this pregnancy has been a lot easier than my last pregnancy with our little nugget, Paxton Marshall. No bed rest. And no trips to the hospital. Yet. Here's to a little under three more months of no complications!

More Visitors

Like I said in the last post, we've had 7 visits from out of town guests in the last 8 weeks. Four of those visit were from one of our moms; two from Linda and two from my mom. Here are the highlights.

Lots of Visitors

Over the last 8 weeks, we've had 7 overnight visits from out of town guests. It's been quite hectic at times, but a blast nonetheless. Here are some highlights from 3 of those 7 visits.

These photo/word collages were created with my new Project Life App (I'm in love!)

Pregnancy Tastebuds

Like the two pregnancies before, this pregnancy has caused me to like certain foods a lot and hate other foods. For instance, in all three pregnancies, I've craved baby oranges and orange juice during the entire first trimester and a bit of the second trimester. 

Well, this pregnancy has not only brought on a few more cravings (like chips and salsa and strawberries), but it's also made me absolutely hate things that I used to LOVE. most people who have known me over the last few years know that I'm mildly obsessed with a very specific iced coffee: International Delight's Mocha iced coffee. Before about the 9th week of pregnancy, I would drink a rather large cup of it every single day. Without fail. Well, I don't drink it at all now. It tastes disgusting to me. Weird.

I also have always been a HUGE fan of vanilla and strawberry Greek yogurt. For years, I've eaten at least one serving a day. Every single day. I don't hate Greek yogurt now (thank goodness!), but I can definitely go days without having any and many days I'm not interested in any yogurt at all. Again, it's weird.

I'm anxious to see if there are going to be any more changes in my palette over the next few months...

His Favorite Games

Paxton is hilarious. And his imagination is equally hilarious. One of his favorite things to do is role play with his siblings and with us.

For instance, "Puppy" is played in our house just about everyday; sometimes several times a day. Typically, one or two kids pretend to be a puppy (crawling around, barking, panting, etc.) and someone is the owner. Interestingly, Paxton is usually the puppy.

But I think my favorite game that Pax LOVES playing is "Daddy be da cow!" It's hilarious. Pax wants to tie a rope to Wes and drag him around the house (while Wes moos) yelling, "Come now, cow! Come now!"

I just love his little imagination.

The Day After Yesterday

Gavin must say "the day after yesterday" 5 times a day. In context, he means "the day after tomorrow," but he ends up talking about today (i.e. the day after yesterday). It's hilarious. And if you try to correct him, he yells, "No! I mean the day after yesterday!" It's a pointless argument. So we don't have it anymore. He'll get it one day. Maybe the day after yesterday.

Our Top 14 of 2014

This year was filled with great vacations, lots of free local activities with the fam, leaps of development in each of the Rosier Ruffians, and just overall love and happiness. Don't get me wrong, there was yelling, time-outs, disagreements, and drama, too, but that's to be expected. Overall, our 2014 was incredible!
