Cute Kiddies!

I seriously laugh all the time with my silly kids! Hunter is in the stage that he says the funnest things all the time.  I feel like I always say all of Hunter's funnies and leave Reag out, but mostly she amazes me with her smartness-- the words she uses and the questions she asks.  I guess I'm constantly thinking for it all to slow down!!

We were at church yesterday (1 o'clock=NOT FUN!) and I was holding Hunter at the closing of sacrament and he is SOOO loud.  He doesn't know how to whisper whatsoever! He's laughing and saying that my necklace looks like black grapes and little black apples SO LOUD! Then during the closing prayer in sacrament, I'm still holding him and he's looking over my shoulder and notices a balloon on the ceiling and yells "What's that??! A balloon??!!!!!" again SO LOUD and excited! It was also Fast and Testimony meeting and he was on the floor quietly (finally!) driving a few cars.  After about the 3rd or 4th testimony and "Amens", Hunter say's "Amen, again???" again, so loud!!! It was actually pretty funny! :) After church he runs up to me so excited and I ask him how he liked his new class, he say's "Hunter loved class and played with alot of cars!!!!!!!".  Apparently that's the best part of nursery--the cars.  Nick said his teachers were laughing at him the entire time and loved having him in class. 

We are taking treats after church to a few neighbors.  Our across the street neighbor is his new nursery teacher.  Hunter is so excited and wants to help Reagan deliver them, Nick watches on the front porch.  He gives it to his teacher, then asks HER for Candy!!!! She says she doesn't have any and he starts crying...on her porch! Nick yells that we are just giving to them and to come back.  He's seriously so sad.  He thought they were trick or treating!!!! No wonder he was so excited to go with Reagan! :)

Yesterday during a prayer, I tell him to fold his arms before we started.  He says "No mom, Hunter too busy!" Seriously?! Too busy to fold his arms, but his head was bowed and eyes closed and ready. 

Last night getting ready for bed, we had read scriptures and were getting ready to say prayers.  I asked Hunter if he would say it.  He says, "yes mom".  I say, good, thanks.  "No, serious mom, yes."  Ok Hunter, get started!

Reag was eating Cheetos this morning and sitting on a tower of my pillows (the top one was my WHITE bed pillow).  She's excited and shows me her cheesey fingers.  I say ooooh, yum, don't get it on my pillows! I'm walking out of the room and I heard oops, don't worry mom I wiped it off! (I'm thinking, it's fine, I can wash it), then she says..."with my clean hand"!!!  Thank goodness for smart Reag!!!!

At church I started crying and having a come-apart (that's normal right, you guys do that too?!) and Reag was so sweet and concerned.  I didn't have any tissues and was such a mess so she goes to the bathroom for me, but seriously brings back the crusty hard paper towel to dry hands.  It was sweet, but funny too! She saw me not using it tons and ran back and got me tp.  She's super thoughtful and sensitive and never wants to hurt people's feelings.  We joked yesterday after church when Hunter was so excited about nursery and his teachers loved him--we joked that we would really have to be careful what we say around him because he will be the kid that tells his teachers EVERYTHING!!! Reag was/still isn't like that.  She's a good girl!

Pretty much, I just thank the Lord everyday for giving these sweet, completely opposite babies to me.  I just want the time to slow down!!!!! I get really sad sometimes that our kids are so far apart and that it takes so much to get pregnant, but have to remind myself that one good part that I love about it is that we really get to enjoy them individually.  We had a long time to just enjoy Reagan, now we get to enjoy Hunter.  He was born when Reagan was already in preschool and then school.  It makes me sad when I think about the gap, but really enjoying them so much, not just "surviving" has been my saving grace.
