Jeremy loves to sing. My favorite songs are usually the ones he makes up in the car. He has the sweetest voice and the sweetest songs. I never have a camera when he's doing his best work. These ones are pretty good and hey they have an accompaniment.

On the way home
On the way home from the beach Tyler was so tired. This is what I saw when I looked back. He loves his monkey!
Jeremy is so sweet!
One night, while getting the kids ready for bed, Jeremy throws his arms around me and says,
"Im going to give you a kiss because I love you so much!"
(Lots of hugs and kisses)
me: Thank you Jeremy I love you too!
Jeremy: Kissing invites the spirit!
(more hugs and kisses)
3 nights at the beach
Last Wednesday we headed out the the beach. Some good friends of ours' parent's have a beach house. We spent 3 nights and days with our friends. It was really nice to get away. While we were driving through the forest, Jeremy exclaims with surpise,
"THERE ARE TREES OUT MY WINDOW!"
As we drove through Lincoln City Lane announced what it was called. They Riley says,
"I think life is going to be good here!"
We did lots of fun things. The first day we went to Beverly beach to let the kids play and we had a picnic lunch there. The next day we went to the interperative center at Yaquina Head and went to the bay there and saw all the seals. We walked through the town of Depoe Bay too. On Friday Lane and Dave took the boys back to Yaquina Head bay in the morning while the tide was out so they could check out the tide pools. After which they went up to the light house. Sorry all the pics are out of order. On our way home Saturday we stopped at the Tillimook Cheese Factory and went home. It was great!
Jeremy had the camera again
After taking multiple pictures of Tyler, multiple is an understatement, Tyler was not so happy about it.
Then he seemed to have a change of heart and started making silly faces.
I think Jeremy does a pretty good job taking pictures for a 31/2 year old.

Blips from the past 2 days
Today while we were having Family Home Evening, I noticed how reverent Jeremy was being. I pointed it out and then he said matter of fact,
" I'm a reverent person!"
Yesterday the boys wanted to watch Legacy. In case you don't know, it's a movie that "portrays the moving story of early Latter-day saints' joys, sacrifices, hopes, and trials; their epic journey to the Salt Lake Valley; and their legacy of faith in Jesus Christ."
About an hour into the movie, while watching the saint walking and all the covered wagons, Riley says, "I think they're Mormons!"
me: Yes they are. (pause) We're mormons too.
Riley: We are? (as if he is surprised)
me: We actually call ourselves Latter-day saints. Lots of people call us mormons though because we believe that the book of mormon is true.
Riley: Oh (and shakes his head)
I thought it was funny.

Tyler's latest hat of choice
Tyler loves loves loves things on his head. This is the latest. He will pop up from around the corner with it on and just laugh. It's so cute! And yes I watch him closely. There is no risk of suffocation here.

Life's unexpected turns
I have been somewhat hesitant to post this but there is enough people that know the first half of the news...it just makes it easier to tell the rest this way.
A month ago, to my complete surprise, I discovered that I was pregnant. I had my first doctor appointment on Monday and discovered that I was pregnant with twins approximately 9 weeks along. Twins don't run in my family and I was both shocked and excited. The ultra sound also revealed that I would more than likely miscarry. I was scheduled to come back for another ultra sound in 9 days hoping to see growth. Today I miscarried, even though my doctor prepared me to expect real labor pains, I was rather surprised by them. I've been contracting since 7am and still going. However I think it's beginning to finish up which is a good thing. Today has been full of a lot of emotion. Knowing that they were twins really makes the loss feel greater. The good thing, hard as it may be, I know that's it's all a part of God's plan and I take comfort in knowing that. I"m also grateful beyond words for the three beautiful sweet boys that I have.

Jeremy's insight into Ketchup
Jeremy: I like tomatoes!.............Guess what? Ketchup is inside tomatoes!
Me: We use tomatoes to make ketchup don't we?
Jeremy: Yes. You get a tomato and it makes one ketchup. If you get more it makes more! The store guys make tomatoes.
It's that simple. So forget what you know about salt and sugar being the prime constituents of Ketchup. Jeremy's got it all figured out.
What's been in my fridge?
Yesterday we were on the go all day. It started with a doctor appt and then a quick trip to the store. We rushed home so I could get Tyler down for his nap before we went to the potluck lunch. After the potluck lunch we went to the park and stayed for about 4 hours. The boys had a blast but by the time we were headed home they were tired, hungry and filthy. I decided I was going to give them a bath before dinner. We went strait upstairs and into the bath, everyone except Jeremy. I had Riley and Tyler completely clean and he was still MIA. I called him again and finally he came. Once everyone was out and dressed we went down stairs. I opened the fridge trying to decide what I was going to scare up for dinner. This is what I saw. I had to take a second look because I knew I did not put that cheese away that way. Take a closer look!
Do you see the bite marks? I can only assume that it was Mr. Mischief (AKA Jeremy) at work. I'm guessing that this was the cause of his delayed bath. Niiice!
