We took the kids to Surf and Swim on Friday. Alex had the day off and it was so nice to get to spend quality time together as a family. Lydia showed him how she could swim and I taught her how to float on her back. She was terrified but I was able to get her to relax by telling her I was right there and wouldn't let go. After about 5 minutes I let go and she floated by herself she was so excited! She is getting so big! I am so blessed to have her. The Boys loved the waves and are little water babies. Taylie was not a big fan but she got used to it. Alex got very sunburned even though I put sunscreen on him and so he has had a few uncomfortable days. The boys are getting more rambunctious and not listening as well. Somedays I feel like I am at the end of my rope and that I am talking to a brick wall. Alex says I need to be firm but I feel like I am. They really are good kids. Taylie learned to roll over from her back to her tummy on Friday. She is so cute and getting big too fast. I keep thinking I am not ready for you to do that yet! You are still suppose to be little!
Today we took the family to Layton park to feed the ducks and play on the toys. They had so much fun and loved the ducks and ducklings. Adam, Jeryka, and Trinity came with us. It was great! We met up with Mom, Dad, Brad, Kristen, and Shaylee for pizza after. What a great family home evening!
P.S. Toes are for keeping the blood in. Lydia says the cutest things!
Familes are Forever

Don't Worry Be Happy
Today was not a great day here at the Turner home. Alex had to be to work at 4am. The boys were very busy today....playing on the lap top, behind my chairs, throwing hula hoops at the TV and playing in mud puddles. Lydia was very inquisitive and talked back alot today.
I was very tired and very frusterated early on. I felt like I was talking to a brick wall. I threatened and yelled and then the boys said "Be happy momma, it okay. Be Happy, we happy" How could you not be happy after hearing that.
I forgot about Joseph and Joshua's Birthday party. Was running to Walmart a half hour before it started to find presents and the kids had cake and icecream for lunch. No naps today either as the party was in the middle of nap time. They had alot of fun though and it was a nice little break from the everyday.
Alex got home at four and we went grocery shopping. $500 later (diapers are so expensive seriously thinking about trying to potty train the boys). Home with a sink full of dirty dishes and a messy playroom I feel so exhausted! Pancakes for dinner and time for baths! Hooray! I tried to teach the boys to say don't worry be happy it is so cute! They are finally in bed and it is my turn to shower, I get out to find the boys under the kitchen sink spraying cleaner everywhere. Alex thought I was in there cleaning. What a day! Back to bed with them and when we checked on them they were curled up in the same bed fast asleep! They look like little angels. "Be happy momma, we happy" Tomorrow is another day, lets be happy!

My Life
6:30 AM Through my sleepy haze I hear the firetrucks...please don't let it wake the boys.
6:31 AM I hear the boys jumping on their bed "Firetrucks! Firetrucks! Gotta fire call gotta go!" Lydia starts crying cause she missed it. I yell hoping not to wake Taylie to go back to bed it is still the middle of the night (in my world) and to go back to sleep. No such luck.
9:00 AM Breakfast. Oh dear we are almost out of milk. Not enough for cereal, Toast it is and will let the kids drink the milk. The boys drink theirs and want more. Lydia my precious girl got down and said "here brothers you can have sissy's milk" I almost cried what a sweet girl.
The kids play outside, I am so thankful for nice, sunny days, and a sandbox, swingset, and trampoline that keep them busy for hours so I can do laundry.
Lunch outside , then naps, hooray daddy is home! And he brought more milk! The boys and their tools fixing everything in sight and having me kiss many boo boos. Lydia being a little mommy, jumping swinging and playing dress up. Today she was the tooth fairy, purple tutu and wings a purse of fake money and a toy french fry as a tooth (what an imagination). She learned to pump this week, had her first dance recital and learned to swim. I am so proud of here but don't know if I am ready for this new stage in indepence. Taylie is rolling and trying to sit, she is such a happy baby with a contagious smile. She is everyones baby (they are all very protective of her). What a perfect day! I am so glad to get to stay home!
Bedtime! Songs and stories and then mommy/daddy time. Everyone is asleep but me, trying to figure out how this blog thing works. I should be in bed now. Oh well!
