Videos of the boys playing with eachother (REALLY cute)

October... so far...

At the beginning of October, my company had it's annual meeting. James brought the boys to the meeting and our Executive Minister, his wife, and one of our coaches got to hold the boys and carry them around a bit. They all enjoyed it.

Yesterday was the boys' due date birthday. They are offically considered to be 1 year old now (developmentally). So, we got a cake to see if they would eat it, unlike on their real birthday. Here is a picture of the boys and James with the cake... it says "AGE Happy Due Date B-day"

Here is the video of them with the cake. They weren't too sure about touching it still.

Ethan and Alex yesterday. They actually end up sitting like this A LOT! I am not sure why, but they do.

Here is a picture with Grant in the jumper in the back. He loves that thing. :)

Here is a video of Alex throwing the ball. He loves to throw things. They like to play ball on the kitchen floor.

We had to make room in our expedition for James' parents so we could all go in one vehicle next week while they are here. So, we put Grant and Alex in the backseat forward facing. They are big enough for that now, so we decided to do it. I think they like it. Since Ethan still has not hit 20lbs, he has to stay rearfacing. That's ok. He can see A and G and they entertain eachother.


All the boys are feeding themselves now!! I am so proud of Grant for finally getting it. It took him a while, but he can feed himself some cheetos now. We are working on the smaller things still, but it's one step at a time!!!

Tonight at our church for Wednesday's Together dinner the boys were getting a bit fussy. I had our portable dvd player so i set it up. We ended up having quite a few kiddos (and a few adults join in watching the video.) This picture shows our director of music watching Baby Einstein with the kids. It was cute! :)

My cutie-pies!!

I bought this before they were born, and just found it in the shed this weekend. They are loving it, and it teaches some good things about music... numbers, colors, even solfege (do, re, mi, fa, etc). LOVE IT!!Ethan sucking on Grant's pinky as Grant sucks his thumb.

The week in Pictures! (and a few videos)

It was a wonderful week last week. My dad came down to help out with the boys since James' parents went on vacation. We had a great time. Here are a few pictures we took from this past week.

3 videos and some pictures

So I had to take Grant in to the doctors this week because he got a really tough cough. So, the doctor put him on a nebulizer. He does not like it one bit. He hates to have anything touch his face unless he puts it there, so we have been fighting a bunch with him. When we took these pictures, he was actually being good.
So here a a few pictures from the last couple of days.

Ethan Alex and Grant all in Alex's crib. Every once in a while the boys will wake up during their naps and I will put one or two in another's crib. They were happy for a while but then Ethan got mad. I almost didn't get this picture.

Grant, Alex, and Ethan dressed alike (a rarity around here) just because!

They were all watching the lights on Alex's toy. Ethan had pulled his o2 down to his chin.

Grant, Ethan, Alex, and Jet chillin' out watching Mommy clean her room.


Alex was playing with the mirror, he was HILARIOUS with it.

Alex was sitting playing with the other two and thought that Grant was the funniest thing he had seen in a while. Grant played with Alex a bit towards the end of the video.

Christmas update with some pictures

I know it's been a while since I updated, but as you can probably understand, it's busy around here. We got home from our trip to Gillette on the 2nd and have been running non-stop since.

The boys are trying to adjust to being back home and it being extremely quiet. We have to have the tv on and the radio on almost constantly for them to be calm, which isn't calming for us.

They are also not feeling well. We have three very stuffy boys that are coughing and trying to breath normally. James and I both have mild cases of the stuffiness. Hopefully this goes away quickly. Prayers that the boys get healthy fast please.

Well, I will post a couple of pictures from when we were in Gillette now. We had a great time with family. We can't wait to go back up there.

We had them in matching outfits for our Christmas. It was fun. Can you name them left to right?

Here was the Christmas tree. It was packed full of presents for the Fischer boys, the Nebelsick triplets and their new addition Lucas. Of course there was also stuff for the parents and grandparents and Uncle Doug and his fiancee Kara!! Welcome to the family Kara. Thanks for helping with the boys while we were there.

Here were all the stocking for all 15 people that were going to be at Christmas. Santa was very nice to the boys. He brought them rattles which they enjoy looking at. He got mommy some fun hair things and a Starbucks giftcard. He brought Daddy the Transformers 2 DVD. James can't wait to find some time to watch that!

One evening I had some friends come help me take care of boys while everyone else was gone. Beth Faubion and Kathy "Grandma Kathy" Holland came to visit. They are very dear friends of the family. Beth is like a sister to me. We grew up together. It was fun to see them. "Grandma Kathy" got to hold all three of the boys at the same time. It was fun. The boys really didn't mind either.

We went to church on Sunday after Christmas and Uncle Doug took care of talkative Ethan during the service. Uncle Doug is REALLY good with the boys. They love him!!

After church on Sunday morning we came home and I had to unload the boys from their carseats without anyone around. So, I put them all sitting up in their boppies on the couch. It kept them calm and quiet while I was moving around getting the others out of the carseat.

Ethan also had fun with Great-Uncle Richard (more like a regular uncle cause he is only 10 years older than mommy). They played a lot together and Richard sat Ethan in the Tonka truck cause I wanted to get a picture! He still fits really well into it.


Thank you to everyone that gave the boys a Christmas gift. We appreciate them all. They got lots of clothes and toys. It was a great first Christmas. It was even a white Christmas. Well, I'll do more of an update later. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and your year is starting out wonderful.

Welcome to 2010!!

Past Couple of weeks in pictures

There really has not been much going on here since Thanksgiving. No one has really done anything spectacular. Ethan is still on his O2 and probably will be until the beginning of the year. Oh well. It is better for him to be on it, then to need it and us not have it.

So, here are some pictures from Thanksgiving and on to this week.
Aunt Donna and her great-nephews!


Grandma Peggy and Ethan


Jet is starting to be a bit more protective of the boys. He likes to cuddle with them (as much as we would let him.)


Alex and Grant were watching the bubbles on the bouncy seat. They are very entertaining... for about 5 minutes.


Ethan


Ethan, Grant, and Alex were chilling on mommy and daddy's bed, watching the ceiling fan. This gave mommy some time to get ready for the day. Yeah for actually being able to brush my teeth before 1:00 pm!


James was cuddling with all the boys on our bed. Note the dog is also cuddling with them too. We had all 5 of us, plus the dog, on the bed one day. It was fun.


Grant was cuddling with my big bear, Big Jim. It is a good place to prop the boys up when I need a free hand for a quick moment! They like to look at him.


We got these cute little sleepers from Aunt Heidi, Aunt Cat, Uncle Jon, Uncle Wayne, Cousins Jackson and Caroline. Aren't we adorable???






Mommy and Daddy had to join in on the fun too, except the boys didn't think it was fun anymore!


And, today was a special day for the boys. They turned 4 months old today!! Can you believe they are that old now? I can't. They are only supposed to be almost 2 months old. But, they are getting there. Here is their pictures with their teddy bear. They have grown!! For comparison pictures click here.
