And to Kendra...I know I told you not to touch your gorgeous red hair and streak it with blue....my hairdresser concurs! You don't mess with perfection...and that red hair is a rarity! DON'T TOUCH IT!
What do you think!?!?!?!?

PINK :)
About a week ago I had my hair trimmed and highlighted and the girl who does my hair had this really fun HOT PINK streak in her hair (her hair is almost black so the contrast was too cool). So I kept thinking next time I'm going to do that because I was SO coveting her hair! Well, my smart husband was like..."why wait two months...just call her and get back in..." so I did! I think now I'm hooked. She almost has me talked in to going platinum blonde with pink....I dunno...time will tell! Although, I am feeling a little more crazy! It was bound to come out again! Ryan's thinking..."GREAT!" My hair soap opera will never end....

First day at the beach...
Yesterday was one of those days that we just needed to get out of the house and get some fresh air, so we bundled up and headed out to the beach. It was the warmest day we've had in quite awhile...a whopping 25 degrees (BRRR...as Emmet would say) and super sunny. The boys LOVED being outside waddling around the beach in their snow gear and chasing seagulls. This definitely isn't the Cayman Islands, though! I can't wait for spring to be here so we can spend more time out there, it's so beautiful.
On our way out to the beach it got pretty bright out and Emmet REFUSED to move! He was screaming "Mama, Eyes...OWWW!" LOL! Luckily Ryan left his shades in our car so we made a trip back and grabbed them and then all was well...Emmet and his shades! LOL!
Wes has been feeling pretty crummy the last few days. He's getting his last molar in and this fun little outing lifted his spirits a little :) Poor, baby.
Emmet was searching for seashells...well, maybe hermit crabs because he kept lifting the shells and turning them over to see what was inside. He didn't forget our little home in the islands yet!!! And..how funny to find shells in the snow!?
I just want to smooch all over this little guy! He is the cutest thing!
My little penguins wandering around...
Meee! Sorry, no makeup! What can I say, I'm a stay at home mom!
View of our Condos from the beach.
Wes, following his big brother...
I think this is my favorite picture. I love Em's small profile next to the big ocean and the light reflecting on the water is gorgeous! One day I'll get myself a really nice camera so I can learn more about photography! I LOVE taking pictures! As evident to all the pictures I'm posting!!!
Emmet was SO close to touching these seagulls...you'll get 'em next time bud!

A little about me...
You Are An ENFP
The Inspirer
You love being around people, and you are deeply committed to your friends.
You are also unconventional, irreverent, and unimpressed by authority.
Incredibly perceptive, you can usually sense if someone has hidden motives.
You use lots of colorful language and expressions. You're quite the storyteller!
In love, you are quite the charmer. And you are definitely willing to risk your heart.
You often don't follow through with your flirting or professed feelings. You break a lot of hearts.
At work, you are driven but not a workaholic. You just always seem to enjoy what you do.
You would make an excellent entrepreneur, politician, or journalist.
How you see yourself: compassionate, unselfish, and understanding
When other people don't get you, they see you as: gushy, emotional, and unfocused

I never really post anything about myself...and this was fun to take. I vow from here on out to post more about myself, though. I want my boys to know more about their mom when we show them this when their older. Plus, it will be fun for me to look back at how I was in this stage of my life.

Some of the things I love...
My boys are in the sweetest stage right now. They are wanting to play together all day and for the most part get along really really well. Emmet has been great about sharing his snacks, bringing Weston toys, and now he's started trading him something in order to get what Weston has...what a smartie...I didn't teach him that one! Way to compromise, Em :) Don't get me wrong..he can still be plenty ornery and puts his time in on the "time out" bench, but these sweet moments make me forget all those nasty ones...momentarilly anyway :)
These boys have to have everything the same...at the same time...
A bite for you...
And a bite for me!
My little movie watchers sharing their nightly bowl of popcorn...
They are growing up too fast (tear!)...
I absolutley LOVE this picture...you can just see the bond these two stinkers have...so precious! If only I could crop myself out! Eek!
Why yes, that is my 2 year old BOY sporting his mama's heels one day after church...LOL. I am impressed that he walked so well in them and even had them on the right feet, w/out any help!
Love this goof ball :)
Emmet is getting so cute. He'll just climb up on the couch make himself comfortable and watch a movie...what a good kid! I bet you can guess what movie this is! I bet you can't guess how many times I've watched it in the last week!
These cereal straws are the best thing ever! Lately I've had a real struggle with getting Em to drink milk. All he wants is juice and I practically have to force milk down his throat (ok, not really). I didn't think he'd really get the whole concept of a snack/straw idea but he caught right on. He'll drink a whole glass of milk and eat atleast 3 of these straws in one sitting. They have lots of different flavors too. I'd seen them in the store and thought they were dumb...man was I wrong! These are our new house hold staple!
Wes likes to smoke his like a cigar ;) and....he'll eat ANYTHING!

SO happy!
Wes is getting so big and is starting to play with cars like Emmet and it is so cute! He makes the car sounds and everything! They're new fave thing to do together is find a bigger car, that they can push, and chase each other around the house racing their cars. Oh, it is so funny and they just laugh hysterically when they crash into the wall or each other. The only problem is Weston thinks he can put ALL his weight on the car while he pushes...the cars aren't big enough and he doesn't have the greatest balance (he walks like he's drunk half the time!) and has been face implanting when he gets going too fast. He just shoots himself over the car and he has about 4 big nasty bruises all over his poor forehead. The other day we were at Target and I found this pretty cheapy car you can ride on or push and it solved all our problems! I knew I loved Target! Needless to say he is SO happy and better yet his poor goose eggs can heal!

Our first weeks in Maine
Well, we have been in Maine for almost two weeks and we are all doing great! It was a LONG day getting here but our little boys are troopers and traveled really well. I can't wait to be done with all this moving around though! It gets old packing, flying, living out of a suitcase, and saying goodbye to friends and family all of the time :( One day we will get there! I envy all my siblings (or anyone for that matter!) that own a home and are settled and stuck in a rut....I dream of a monotonous routine! Haha! Enough about that though.....
It's really beautiful over here on the east coast...or what I've seen so far. Lots of trees and green. It feels really fresh! I love to drive around and see all the colonial styled homes in beautiful aged brick or huge white homes with black shutters....I think that's how I want my home to be when we settle down. It's fun to hear accents here and there...that aren't foreign :) Tomorrow we will be attending our first Sunday in our new ward. My wonderful in-laws called ahead for us and found out everything for us (I'm NOT being sarcastic! It was a HUGE help!)...all I had to do was answer my phone and a gal from relief society was on the other line filling me in on the new ward. Turns out there are 5 other young couples in our ward...and my favorite part...each one has a 2 year old boy! So exciting! I hear nursery is something from WWF so Emmet will fit right in! I'll report more after...my fingers are crossed for a fun ward!
I did want to say though that I have the BEST family (both mine and Ryan's). They were so great to let us stay with them for like 2 months and drive us here and there, give us a wonderful Christmas, and just put up with us for so darn long...really! "Thank you" really seems so cliche....and not nearly as meaningful as I want it to be! But....THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I feel so grateful to my parents for letting me have nervous breakdowns at their house...lol...and for them watching my boys so much. I don't know what I'd do without my mom and dad! Between moving across the country, gall-bladder removal surgery, moving again...across the country! I couldn't have done it without them! I'm also so thankful to have in-laws that really feel like "MY" family as well. I love that I can't relate when I hear friends and family talking about their "Crazy" mother-in-laws and family members because I love Ryan's family as much as I love my own!
It was such a wonderful experience getting to know them on a much more real level. I feel like I have another mom (Leslie, thank you so much for all the advice and fun talks!), more super fun and adorable sisters!, and another sweet brother! I'm so blessed! I love you all...and miss you all SO much! I didn't mean for this to turn into a soggy novel...lol...but it had to be said!
I know it's been forever since I've blogged and I'm not sure how to go about catching up...so here are just some random fun pics of the boys. Pictures are always the fun part anyway!
Em being a nut :)
Our little guys exploring the "sun room" that just happens to be ZERO degrees!
Wes is getting so grown up!
In our bedroom we have a jacuzzi tub and it's so deep.....I love it because I can sit in the room and not get drenched by every splash!
We've had quite a few people ask us if our little guys are twins (especially since we've been here)....they do look pretty close in size these days!
Every night we have "diaper time" and this is how the boys get....goofy, goofy, goofy! I just love it because they still look like babies with those diaper bums!
Wes eating his bedtime snack....wait...when isn't he snacking?
My two best buds, so dang cute.
These are a couple views from our bedroom...just out the window....I'm embarrassed to say that with the beach 100 yds away I haven't been down there! But it's SO unbelievably cold here! We're even going through and "Arctic Front," I saw it on the news! Haha!
Nonetheless, it is beautiful.....talk about one extreme to the other.....Cayman Islands is SO different!
