Two of a Kind

In spit of all the screaming and beating the twins do on each other at the end of the day they LOVE each other and don't like to be separated. They sleep in the same bed still and even when there is a whole couch Cami snuggle up right next to her bro. & by the smile on Josh's face you can see he loved it.

Unlike Phoebe was at 2years old Cami is our resident little mother; she LOVES carrying around baby dolls & she dresses them, wraps them, rocks them, & changes them.(Phoebe use to kick her dolls and throw them across the room & if she snuggled anything it was a bear.) Cami hates when Sophie cries and is the first one there with kisses and to make her laugh.  So bearing this in mind when I was trying to cook dinner the other night and feed Sophie, so started to cry and Cami came and grabbed the already made oatmeal right off the counter behind me and went right over and began to feed Sophie for me. Surprisingly enough she didn't hardly gagged Sophie and Sophie ate her whole bowl of oatmeal.

I am predicting Cami will be the my child who goes into a care taking carrer or has a ton-o-kids.

Cami's First Cut

Cami has more lushes hair than any of my other children and it was driving her and me crazy. Her because it kept falling in her eyes and food and me because it ALWAYS was messy tangles. Last week we decided we  finally needed to do something about it so we took her to our wonderful neighbor Candice for her first hair cut. You can see she did have longer red lock

We went over not knowing what we should do bangs or not, length?? But my neighbor is great with hair and knew exactly what to do for our cutie Cams. Her last picture with bangs is uncanny how much then looks like me a little girl.

After styling her hair and a day to get use to the bangs I now LOVE Cams' hair and I think she really loves not getting her hair pulled when it's brushed & not fighting the hair constantly falling in her face. She even gave me her signature wink of approval!

The Fergy Kids are Like a Big Box of Chocolates

Have I ever mentioned I am bored here??? No. Well that's probably because the Fergy kids are a like a big box of Chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get. All of these pics are from the last week. 

Cami and Phoebe have discovered just  because they can not reach the powered sugar anymore does not mean the party stops. Oh NO, now they have discovered the canisters of flour and sugar & whenever they need something sweet they get into them. I say them because Cami insist on eating the plain flour over and over...GROSS.

Carters had a big clearance sale and since Miss Sophie is my naughty girl and insists on growing up on my I needed 9 mos clothes so she got this adorable bear outfit among MANY others things.

For some reason the kids have started this routine where when we say everyone upstairs for bed they all run to a stair and lay on it. Weirdos...they think it's funny. It was cute the first time but it grows old quickly prying them all off the stairs individually and pulling up to their rooms.

Miss Sophie has a love hate relationship with food. She ate it well in Nov. then decided she hated it. We tried again on New Year and she loved it, then after a day hated it and spits it EVERYWHERE. Well not Cory has found the trick mix the oatmeal with formula and not water & keep it thick.  She doesn't absolutely love it but she tolerates it and that's good enough for us.

Last night we named Sophie the family pouch, because she now it looks like she just sits and begs for food like you dog would and Josh slips her some if you'e now watching. Last night however, Sophie just decided she really wanted his dinner so she just grabbed it off his tray and took it.

Sometimes I wish it was just a little bit less exciting around here. I know if the twins are out of my site for ANY amount of time something "fun" is probably a brewing and if that wasn't enough now Sophie insists on getting in on the Fergy Mixture of Foul. 

Phoebe's Interview 2012

We have started a new tradition, the family interview at New Years.  Here is Phoebe's interview:

8 Months Old

Yesterday our little Sophie Marie turned 8 months old.  She has begun to do so much in the last month she growing up too fast for me.  She just started with her raiment of rice/oatmeal cereal.  (My kids have always been less than stellar eaters so we usually wait till 8-9 months to start them.) Sophie also is getting to be a sufficient army crawler and you have to watch her if something is left on the ground she WILL eat it, so far in the last week other kiddos have left out stickers, dried noodles, green tinsel, etc...for her to eat and us to pick out of her mouth.

Sophie has also decided in the last month that she is now a thumb sucker so now all 3 girlys are thumb suckers, something I need to remedy, but haven't had the will to do. The bathroom scale says she weighs 16 lbs but we will have to wait another month for the official weigh in.  I know I have said it before it still goes that Sophie is the most patient and gentel natured little girl I have ever had and we just love her to bits!

Go DUCKS!

As for me and my house we are OREGON DUCKS fans! Every year we celebrate while watching the Ducks play in their bowl game, last year we have family over this year we got fun matching outfits from grandma+pa Potts and we had pictures taken.

Thanks a ton to my neighbor Krisi who came over and took the pictures for us!

New Years Eve 2011

This kids saw to it that we started celebrating New Years Eve from early in the morn, about 5:30am to be exact. I got up with them from 5:30 -7am then Cory traded me for a bit and I went back to bed fora bit. During the day we watched & cheered for the Utes who won their game and in the evening we joined a couple neighbors for a family friendly New Years Eve party. We made pizzas and enjoyed TONS of other food, unfortunately I gained 1/2lb from all the partying. 

At 8:30pm we made our own countdown and wore party hats and banged spoons together. 

After all the junk food, playing and staying up later the kids were definitely ready for bed at this point, so we had a bit of Martinelli's to celebrate and called it a night. We didn't do anything grand, but it was one of my favorite celebrations in a while.

6 YEARS!

This year we celebrated our 6th anniversary much more casually than last year. Cory let me pick a movie, which I chose Sherlock Holmes and then he picked the restaurant which was Salt Lake Burger Co. This dinner was delicious, I highly recommend it and the movie was good but a bit confusing. It was nice just to have a laid back celebration this year and to plan all of our fun dates for the next year!
