And the cuteness abounds







New cute things:



Xander has to go to bed with every blanket we own on top of him. We do this, let him fall asleep and then remove most of them. He also wants to eat, not regular tacos anymore, but blue/green/pink/white/yellow.....tacos. It's pretty funny. He has finally reached his automobile phase, especially after spending so much time on a plane and watching other planes at the airport. He like planes, trains, buses, and semis. He does not like boats. Counting to three doesn't work anymore. He just wants to count with me.



Hylan is finally cutting teeth (we think). He always has his hands in his mouth. He would rather use that than anything else. Although his new scream is less than cute, he still has the cutest wrinkled-nose smile in the world. He laughs at everything now...toys, swinging, his reflection, Xander, everything. He tried to climb but can't quite yet. He wants more than anything to be a big boy with his brother.



Well, last weekend my brother got married. It was just lovely. We are so excited to have Jodie in our family. They are really the cutest couple. I've never seen Cliff so happy.
One last thing, my mom is in the hospital right now. She got her next to last chemo treatment on Tuesday, and Wednesday woke up with horrible abdominal pain. My dad took her to the doctor this morning, and she was admitted. They think she has diverticulitis. She is on IV antibiotics. If you could mention her in your prayers or put her name in the temple if you go, I'd really appreciate it. I usually don't like to post like this, but I'm a bit worried, especially with her lack of immune system and all. Thank you.

Food Obsessions

I just think this is funny, so I'm sharing. Xander is absolutely addicted to and obsessed with Taco Bell. He looks for the sign wherever we go. Yesterday, he had a taco for lunch and one for dinner (homemade taco for dinner). Oh, and they have to be soft shell. Than had to take his truck back to Magee tonight, and we drove to pick him up. Magee is a little over an hour away. Xander chanted "Need Taco Bell" all the way there. He did not get a taco today. He had already had dinner. It makes me laugh. I'm just glad tacos are only 89 cents.
Hylan's current food love is popcorn. We break it up into little bits, and there is nothing he loves more.

Taco Bell, no Popcorn, Taco Bell, no Popcorn.......I can hear it now.
