Rhett's climbing is seriously out of control. There is nothing he doesn't climb up on. I try to keep all the doors closed and chairs pulled away from tables, but he still climbs up on everything! It seriously shocks me every time. Mia was not a climber at all. It's so fun to see their differences already. Rhett is very coordinated and reckless and Mia was so verbal and sharp. They seriously melt my heart!

Sometimes I literally melt into a puddle when I'm watching them play together.

It's literally so shocking to me to see this teeny little baby body do the things that he does. Shocking!!!

Chris and Mia trying out Chris' new duck blind

Everytime I turn around he's on top of something else…

Sometimes I love finding sweet pictures that Mia has taken while playing on my phone when no one knew what she was doing. Usually one gem out of 300 pictures of carpet and up people's noses ha ha… but this one of Chris is worth it.

Rhett is always so excited and proud of himself after he climbs up onto something. He usually starts yelling "Da! Da!" I love that he wants his daddy to see his accomplishments.

 This little boy is so happy and sweet. He's started to give the sweetest hugs and kisses the world has ever known! Mia always gets bombarded with them and daddy gets lots too. Slim pickin's for me usually…:)I seriously die over the relationship these two have. Of course there are disagreements and tiffs and sad moments, but for the overwhelming majority of the time Mia and Rhett are so loving of each other. They are so good with sharing and playing together and I can always count on Mia to look out for her brother and try to protect him. Probably about 5 times a day Mia runs in the room yelling "Mom, it's an emergency!" after which I will come out to find Rhett on top of something or getting into something he shouldn't. They're a pretty darling little tag team.

The snow has been melting a ton lately and the other day I said "Mia, the snow is almost gone!". She answered without skipping a beat, "Ya, I ate it." I died laughing!

Talking about me being gone at work Mia said "I missed you so much last year Mom. I hate it when you leave. I love it when you here." I told her I felt the same way. 

A while ago I came downstairs dressed in my scrubs for work and Mia yelled "Don't go to work mom! I need you!" I had tears in my eyes as I drove to work…

Chris has season tickets for the Jazz this year and we got a few extra tickets gifted to us for this game by the arena for being season ticket holders. We had so much fun with Cambria, Ron, Charise and Kyle at the game, and then went to see the new Star Wars movie with Cambria and Ron.

At another game, Chris got to go down onto the court and high five the players as they came out before the game! He was super stoked!

We finally got some pictures hung. 

I was cleaning up and doing some laundry while the kids were upstairs. I came up to find this. They were pretty proud of themselves…:) I love my little hoodlums. And man do they work fast…

Mia

"I like my style."

While holding her little toy mirror, "You so pretty dad. Now I got to look at my style. I so pretty. I done looking at my pretty style."

I was showing Mia some old pictures of myself from high school. I asked her who she thought it was and she asked me "Who is it?" I told her it was me and she said "I think her face turn to Breanne."

We were grocery shopping and passed by a little boy who was getting in a little trouble with his mom and had started whining and crying a little bit. Mia said "That boy sad. Silly boy. He dotta listen to his mommy!" She got some laughs from a few nearby shoppers :)

"We are a happy family. We are best family. We love each other."

"Yay daddy! Yay daddy! I love daddy! He my favorite daddy!"

"You know what daddy? Mommy is a silly little stinker!"

Talking about her nursery leader "I love brother nursery! With the kids."

"Your the best mom/dad in the whole wide west!" (she says this pretty often to Chris and I.)

"Mommy you the best mommy ever! Everybody says that!"
