Cribs or Big Boy Beds?!?

So today I was at my exercise group and somehow it came up that Brady and Easton are still in cribs. Everyone was shocked. Am I crazy? When did you move your kids to "big boy beds?" My boys went through a stage where they would climb out every day and I considered moving them but they stopped doing it. Lately they have been climbing out every once in a while but not all the time. The other day Easton got hurt climbing out which got me thinking about making the transition but I just don't know. Part of the reason I don't want to move them is because I am scared they will stop napping and that is when I work so I really need them to take a nap. Did your kids still nap? I am wondering if when we move to Utah we should just set up their toddler beds or if that is too much change for them all at once. If you can't tell I am clueless. I am hoping someone/anyone can give me advice. Am I crazy to have my kids in cribs at 2 1/2? If you have twins or know someone who has twins and made the switch your advice would be even more appreciated!

P.S. Their cribs are from IKEA and transition into toddler beds. I know they are not the cutest thing ever but have been perfect for us and were the right price for 2!!! Someday the boys will have a really cute room with really cute beds...just not yet!

Random Stuff...

Last week we celebrated Geoff's birthday! I thought this picture was cute cause the girls are looking at each other!The weather was gorgeous that day. We were all wearing shorts and t-shirts. It was so nice! The boys loved having cake and ice cream. We have been trying to get ready to move so last week we cleaned out the garage. Brady and Easton were such big helpers and played with everything. They were filthy by the time we were done. I had to work one night last week so Ryan took the boys to get frozen yogurt. They loved it! We spent the weekend with sick kids. It started with Easton and then spread to Brady. Poor kids have just laid around for 3 days. The best part about this picture is that he was totally saying cheese he was just too sick to really smile. Brady was not sick yet and Easton wanted strawberries so Brady was feeding them to him. It was so sweet!Life is crazy for us right now. We are down to our last few weeks here. My mom and Kelsey are coming out to help us pack up and get ready and we will drive out March 31. Wish us luck!

Happy Birthday Geoff!

My mom put this picture up and I love it! Happy birthday to an incredible husband, father, uncle, nursery leader, brother, and friend. You are an amazing person and I admire you so much! Thank you for letting me marry your best friend!!!!! I am forever indebted to you! We love you and hope you have a wonderful day!

Bowling Fun!

A few weeks ago Ryan's friend Jared came to stay with us. We decided to take the kids bowling for the first time! They loved it! The boys were hilarious! They would jump up and down and yell, "GO, GO, GO" as the ball rolled down the lane and then when it would hit the pins they would jump up and down again and say "YES, YES, YES!" Daddy and Easton!Geoff and Aria!Mommy and Brady!Best friends for life!

Our No Good Very Bad Day...

Yesterday Ryan did not have to be at class until 10:00 so I decided to take advantage of him being home in the morning and go work out. As soon as I walked in he left and the boys and I started our normal daily routine. I went upstairs to get their clothes and what did I see when I walked upstairs?Yep, crayon on the door. I was a kind of mad but thought whatever until I walked into my bathroom and saw this.and then in the toy room this.The anger was slowly building up as I walked around and saw crayon EVERYWHERE. I came downstaris and got the boys, put them in their room in time out and shut the door. I called my mom and of course she thought it was funny! She starting googling how to get crayon off walls and I started trying the methods but everything was taking the paint off. I finally calmed down and went and got the boys and showed them why they were in trouble. They proceeded to walk me around the house and point out all the many places they had colored. I decided maybe I would laugh about this later so I decided to record our tour. This is really for my mom because she thinks it is hysterical. It is kind of long and boring but shows what a wonderful job they did!One of the things my mom googled did actually work! Who would have thought? Thank you Shea for saving my sanity and bringing it over! I am telling you this stuff was a miracle worker, it came right off!

Can you tell how sorry they were?!? As my mom kept reminding me, at least no one got hurt. I told her that is why she had 7 kids, maybe I should stop at 2! I continue to find more of their artwork I originally missed including on the TV, windows, and my tile floor. Lets just say I was glad when yesterday was over!
