Need I say more?

Cold?

Turner wanted to go outside in the morning about a week ago. He came in about 5 mins later complaining that he was cold. Cold? Itr was probably high 70s...hehe...I told him to put on a jacket. Levi loves being like Turner so he decided he needed his big coat. It was classic. Tony enjoying the cool weather minus a shirt...Levi in a heavy coat, underwear and sandals, and Turner in a jacket and sandals. I think the boys have officially acclimated to the weather.

Levi and Sawyer

Sawyer looks so big next to Levi. I think they are only about 10 pounds difference. So cute!

Levi Strikes

This kid is so funny. He had to set up a place to sleep in our doorway. Maybe he wanted to make sure we weren't going anywhere? Or maybe he has just tried almost every other place in the house. I've slept in his bed and it is pretty comfortable. Maybe "the grass is always greener" applies to him. He has to try new stuff.

Conserving Energy

So our electricity bills are kinda A LOT. So I decided that we were going to dry our clothes the old-fashioned way. Hopefully it will make a difference on our next electricity bill.

No Sleep and other interesting tidbits

Aren't those pictures so cute!!

Well...the twins are just teasing me. I am only getting sleep here and there. Briggs has been pretty good lately at sleeping but Sawyer not so much. It seems like someone has a bad night almost every night. It is interesting how much they have both changed. Briggs used to be the super easy laid back guy and Sawyer was pretty difficult to manage. Now, Sawyer is all smiles and Briggs is kinda tricky.

Briggs is temperature sensitive when it comes to his bottles. He used to not care if the bottle was room temperature but about 1 1/2 week ago he decided that slightly warmer than warm was the way to go. He kept refusing bottle after bottle. I was at a scout thing all day last Saturday and he ate only 6 ounces within a 12 hour period! I knew he was hungry but he wouldn't eat! Finally after I got home and he got settled he had a bottle that I used warm water with. (Warm water was harder to come by at the scout meeting.) That night he ate all his bottles perfectly (which makes sense now because I always warm them up at home.) He wouldn't eat for Derrick but Derrick usually just does room temperature for the bottles. At church he refused to eat again. This was because (in hind sight) we fill up the bottles with water before church and then just mix the formula when we get there. (The water in the bathrooms takes FOR-E-VER to get warm.) I was going crazy because I knew if he didn't eat during the day he would be up all night eating and I was getting tired. After church, I had a thought that I should warm up the bottle I had been trying to feed him with. It worked like a charm! I know the Lord was definitely helping me understand what Briggs had been trying to tell me for 3 days. How frustrating would that be? To be in this little body without use of language trying to tell your mom what you need? I can understand why he was so frustrated with me. Sawyer, on the other hand, is not particular about the temperature of his food. Pretty funny. I am VERY glad that I finally figured that one out.

Labor Day Weekend

We went to our friend's house over Labor Day. It was awesome. We were able to get to the temple. It was really nice. The kids had a blast dressing up in costumes to play capture the flag and Levi went around saying "shoot! I gotcha!" with all their pretend guns.

Cameo and I with our sleepy wraps. She showed me a new way to put the babes in. They loved it.

Turner and his buddy Jonah. We kept confusing them all weekend with the same haircuts and similar walks. Best buds!
