Tyler & Hill

Fisher

2012-02-15T22:09:00.000-07:00

Fisher is such a speedball. He is 6 weeks away from being 2 1/2 years old. He is full of energy and we love it.

Here are a few pictures of our Fisher.

Fisher loves to play in the pantry with the food on the bottom shelf. Here he is with the slivered almonds all over the floor.

Fisher loves to go bye-bye but he does not like to be restrained in the car seat. He is getting better now that he knows he will get out when we get to where ever we are going. There Hunter is just kicked back and holding his toes.

Here Fisher is playing with the train.

Fisher is in that stage where he doesn't think he needs a nap. He feel asleep on the couch waiting for a snack. He woke up as sweaty as can be. You can really see how cute he is when he is holding still.

Fisher was a little sad one morning...so I called Tyler and let him talk to him. Fisher is a daddy's boy. He gets so excited when daddy comes home.

Not potty trained yet...who was on diaper duty this day?

This picture doesn't do the hole in his tongue justice. One night at dinner Fisher fell off the bar stool. He got up and blood just dripped from him mouth. I could not figure out where it was coming from and it eventually stopped bleeding. I assumed he bit his lip or something but when I brushed Fisher's teeth that night I discovered a gaping hole in his tongue. It was super sore for several days but after about a week it was healed right up.

Here Fisher is working on the ABC puzzle. He is getting so smart. He is pretty independent though and doesn't want any help with it.

Everyday Justin leaves for school Fisher is so sad. Some days he gets Justin's old back pack on and thinks he is going to school too. He looks so big here. Before we know it Fisher will be going to preschool too.

We love our Fisher!

Justin

2012-02-15T14:41:00.001-07:00

Justin is getting so big. He is growing up. He is very inquisitive and wants to know the answer to everything. He is a little over 4 1/2 years old. Here are a few pictures of the things Justin enjoys doing.

He loves doing anything with his dad. He likes to play Lego's, wrestle and play the IPAD with dad.

He is a great sleeper once he gets to sleep. He lays awake in bed trying to fall asleep. He has learned to make lots of different animal shadows with his fingers in the light from his night light. Tyler and I are so amazed at his imagination. He is very attached to his animals - blue bear, pink bunny, brown monkey and CJ the giraffe (his pillow pet) and they sleep with Justin every night.

Justin looked so handsome for his primary program a few months ago. His part: "I can follow God's plan by choosing the right each day." Justin loves primary.

Every night before bed Justin tries to talk us into letting him play anything just so he can stay up longer. He likes to play Lincoln Logs before bed because Fisher is not awake to bug him. He likes to play while drinking his nightly chocolate-strawberry milk.

This is Justin ready to sing in the preschool Christmas program. He loves Smarty Pants Preschool and Miss Marci.

Justin and Wyatt made a gingerbread train during Christmas break. Choo Choo!

Justin is such a fun boy and an amazing brother. We love him to pieces.

Outside in January

2012-02-15T13:57:00.001-07:00

This winter has been so mild that the boys have enjoyed playing outside.

Fisher and Justin really like jumping on the tramp. So I bundled them up and out they went. They looked so cute with their beenie hats on.

Riding bikes is another favorite. This day Hunter went out too. He looks so cute with his sunglasses on.

Fisher loved riding his four-wheeler on the bike ramp backwards! He was so happy to be outside. He just kept smiling and giggling.

Justin is so good on his bike even after being off of it for a while during the winter break. He can't wait for summer.

Brothers

2012-02-15T12:54:00.001-07:00

I just love the things the boys do together. They are the best little boys a mom could ask for and they are such good friends.

Hunter and Fisher having an afternoon chocolate milk watching cartoons. (This picture is a little old cause Fisher doesn't have a bottle anymore.)

Justin and Fisher LOVE to wrestle with Dad when he gets home from work. Lately, Hunter has been joining in with them. Justin and Fisher are so good to be a little softer with him.

All my boys having snacks on the couch.

One day Justin wanted an ice cream. So I gave him one and when I came back into the kitchen this is the conversation I heard.

Justin: "One lick for you, one lick for me. How about a new pattern. One lick for you, two licks for me."

I just loved that. Thanks for sharing Justin.

Justin is so interested in the geographical location of places that I bought him a map of the United States. Here he is showing Fisher all the places that he knows. Justin knows that Jahde is on his mission in Florida, Disneyland is in California, Benjamin lives in Nevada (a friend that moved from our ward), and we live in Utah.

Hunter loves to play Pat-a-Cake and Justin is good to play with him.

The boys love playing Lego's together. Making towers is their favorite.

One afternoon Justin and Fisher built a train in the kitchen. They took all the chairs from the bar and from the table and made this train. They played for about 45 minutes on this.

Good morning boys. They love their cartoons before breakfast.

One of Hunter's favorite things to do is jump in his bed with his brothers. He still needs help from mom to do this but he always gets the biggest smile on his face. In this picture they were ready for bed and they got all hyped up to go to bed. It is worth it though because they love it so much.

Justin is such a good big brother. He likes to get all 3 of them on his bed to read books. Fisher has started to look at his own book while Justin reads to Hunter.

Justin loves to hold Hunter and give him loves.

I just love that all three of my boys - Justin, Fisher and Hunter - are such good friends!

Discovery Gateway

2012-02-15T11:57:00.000-07:00

On December 26, 2011, we took the boys to the Discovery Gateway Museum. We went with my sisters and their kids and then Grandma and Grandpa came a little late. We went to celebrate John's birthday. Happy Birthday Uncle John.

The Gateway Discovery Museum is so much fun. The kids love it!!

Christmas 2011

2012-02-15T11:29:00.000-07:00

Christmas was so fun! Justin really enjoyed all of Christmas this year. Fisher could tell there was something going on but isn't quite old enough to understand who Santa is. We had a lot of fun on Christmas morning.

Justin got a bat cave.

The twins got a kitchen.

Hunter was happy with all the new toys. He didn't care what was his or someone elses.

Hunter got so hungry we had to take a time-out from toys and feed him.

Justin was so excited to un-wrap everything. He was so good to help Fisher and Hunter when they got a little slow.

Fisher loved all the cars from CARS 2 that the boys got to share. They did all get their own Francesco Bernoulli.

Merry Christmas Boys! Thanks for making it so memorable!

December 2011

2012-02-14T21:29:00.000-07:00

December 2011 was full of parties and fun activities. We saw Santa a couple of times this season. Each visit was the same...

Hunter just couldn't get enough,

Fisher screamed and couldn't get away fast enough,

Justin was just in awe and waited ever so paitently. Each and every time Justin sat on Santa's lap his request was the same: "A Francesco Bernoulli" (CARS 2).

We did some fun activities with just our little family.

Grandma Clark gave the boys a gingerbread house kit.

Justin and Fisher stayed up late one night and put together all 5 little houses.

They had a blast.

We dipped pretzels and made chocolate nut clusters.

Justin and Fisher loved to look under the tree at the presents.

They were so good not to touch any of them until Christmas morning.

Chocolate Fountain

2012-02-13T22:13:00.001-07:00

On Decmeber 16, 2011, my sisters and I got all the kids together for some Christmas activities. We thought the kids would enjoy dipping pretzels in the chocolate fountain. I'm not sure where the 3 girls were but I do know that the 6 little boys (all 4 years and younger) and Will loved the chocolate.

It was a lot of fun.

Here is Keegan, Jason, Justin and Will

Keegan just licked the chocolate off the pretzel.

Just look at the look on Fisher's face....

Justin was by far the messiest.

Hunter played so good. I didn't have much of a chance to get him up close to the chocolate.

We love activities with the cousins!

Kidney Testing Again

2012-02-12T21:01:00.001-07:00

On December 13, 2011, Hunter went in for his usual rounds of tests on his kidney. He was such a trooper. He is old enough now that he recognizes the room and knows that he doesn't want to be there. He did well as long as he could see CARS on the TV.

They strap him to a board so that he doesn't move during the test. They had a very difficult time getting his IV started. They tried his left ankle, then right ankle, then right wrist and finally in the left wrist they were able to get a successful IV going. I was getting a little upset about the number of times it was taking them to get one in.

The tests that they do shows whether the kidney has proper function and the time it takes for the kidney to drain completely. We do the tests and then talk to the doctor about them an hour later. I am so glad that the doctor actually can see the results that fast. Luckily, this time Hunter fell asleep during the test. All the crying he did while they messed around with his IV tuckered him right out.

We found out that Hunter's kidney has not made any improvement so he will have to have surgery. His kidney still has proper function but is incredibly slow! The surgery that he needs is Pyeloplasty and Nephrectomy. The pyeloplasty means that they will remove the ureter tube and insert it back into the kidney in a new location. The nephrectomy means that they will cut a portion of his kidney off (the portion that doesn't function properly) and remove it. Hunter will come home with a tube that drains the kidney right into his diaper. This will allow the kidney to heal properly. He will have the tube for 10 -14 days.

Hunter is a trooper. Hopefully the surgery will correct the problem and we can check it off the list. Wish Hunter luck!

5th Set of Ear Tubes

2012-02-12T20:40:00.000-07:00

December 1, 2011, the twins got their 5th set of ear tubes - making 3 tubes for Fisher and 2 tubes for Hunter. On the second set it is common to have the adenoids removed so now both boys are without adenoids.

As soon as we walked into the room to change them into their cute little gowns, Fisher started crying. He didn't stop crying until the nurse took him to the OR Room. He probably stopped crying once they were down the hall a little ways because he thought that he was escaping. Haha. Hunter was content watching cartoons. The little slippers they got were enormous!

They both handled the surgery well. Hunter had a little bit of a difficult time waking up because he was so tired going into the surgery.

Once Fisher was out of surgery all he wanted to do was play with the toy in the waiting room. Tyler took him out there to play while we waited for Hunter to recover.

Hunter had a great nap that day and when he woke up his ear looked like this:

Can you say.....ALLERGIC REACTION. He was allergic to the antibiotic drop they put in his ear right after surgery. We had to flush his ear with saline solution and get a different antibiotic drop. Once we got his ear flushed and the new drop in the redness went away after a few hours. Poor little guy just kept rubbing his ear because it bothered him so much.

During the surgery we had the doctors do a hearing test (AOE). Hunter has failed this type of hearing test since he was very young. He passed his initial newborn hearing screening but has not passed since. The nurses/ENT doctors have been saying that he was failing this type of test because he wiggled and cried so much that they weren't able to get an accurate reading. This test was done during the surgery so he was not wiggling nor was he crying and he still failed. Still the doctor said that Hunter may have failed because his ear drum had been under so much pressure so we would check it at the 2 week follow up. At that appointment, he failed, no surprise to me. They finally referred us to get an ABR (Auditory Brain Response). This test has to be done while asleep so we will be doing this test soon.

Hopefully, this will be the last set of ear tubes we have at the Clark house.

Snowman 2011

2012-02-12T19:49:00.000-07:00

Tyler and Justin built their first snowman of the season the end of November 2011. Justin loves to play in the snow especially with his Dad.

CARS

2011-11-26T22:10:00.003-07:00

We bought CARS 2 on DVD and now we watch CARS all the time. It doesn't matter whether it is CARS 1 or CARS 2 as long as it is CARS! The boys LOVE it, all 3 of them love it, especially Hunter. Here they are glued to the TV over and over again. I just love it!

I love when the boys do something together. They play so well together and are great friends!

Halloween 2011

2011-11-26T22:10:00.001-07:00

Halloween 2011! Justin was a Construction Worker, Fisher was Batman and Hunter was Superman.We started the day out bygoing to Tyler’s work for a Halloween Parade and Trick-o-Treating.It was fun to see where Dad works.The boys had fun.

We raced home from Tyler’s work, had dinner. We got a quick picture of all the boys on the porch and then Justin and Tyler went Trick-o-Treating in the neighborhood while Mom and the little boys handed out candy.

Then it was off to Grandpa Clarks and GrandmaNancy’s and then to Grandma Clark’s and then ended at Grandpa Scott’s andGrandma Sing’s. It was fun but by thetime we went to 3 Grandma's and Grandpa’s houses we were tired and ready forbed!!

The funny thing about Justin wanting to be a constructionworker is that when I asked him what type of shirt a construction worker wore,he said, “A shirt with the sleeves cut-off.” So that is where the cut-off sleeves came from.

Justin was so excited for Halloween and bugged me for days about decorating the porch. So while Justin and Tyler were gone hunting I decorated the porch and surprised Justin when he came home. We had a fun Halloween this year!

Halloween at Preschool

2011-11-26T22:09:00.001-07:00

On October 27^th Justin was able to dress up in his Halloween costume and go to school. They did a little Halloween Program for the mom’s and dad’s.This year was so fun because Tyler was able to go to the program!And Justin sang so good!

Justin was the cutest construction worker ever!!

Justin and Kierra ready for school.

Clark Punkie Party

2011-11-26T22:08:00.003-07:00

The annual Clark "Punkie Party" (Pumpkin carving) was on October 30^ththis year.We had good food – always consisting of sloppy joes, nachos, and relish trays and the ever favorite sugar cookies.Justin has a blast carving pumpkins for himself, Fisher and Hunter. Tyler always helps Justin carve and they do a great job every year.We brought the pumpkins home and put them on the porch.

Hunter was so happy to play with his truck on the gym floor.

Fisher loved the nachos. He just kept eating and eating.

Here are most of the cousins that were able to come to the party.

Brody, Jack, Austin, Justin, Cedar, Fisher, Hunter, Sadie, Kennedy, Sydney, Ali, Jared, and Ray.

Gerber Pumpkin Chuckin' Party

2011-11-26T22:07:00.003-07:00

On October 22^nd, the Gerber family had a Halloween Party. It was the 1^st Annual Pumpkin Chucking Party! It was so fun. My brother-in-law, John, made a contraption that would through pumpkins and other small squash. The acorn squash were the best. They really sailed through the air. The kids loved it. Tyler missed the party because he was in Las Vegas on a work trip. We missed you Tyler!

Here is Justin with Grandpa Scott and the Pumpkin Chucker.

Justin loved this! He had a lot of fun!

The little kids wanted to be out in the field to watch them hit the graound. Brandan stayed out with them to keep them at a distance so they didn't get nailed with a squash!

After the pumpkin chucking we ate dinner adn then frosted sugar cookies.

Fisher loved "frosting" his cookie.....or should I say eating the frosting!

Justin and Keegan have become quiet the little buddies.

Sugar Cookies with Justin and Fisher

2011-11-26T22:07:00.001-07:00

Me and Justin and Fisher made some sugar cookies for the first ever Gerber Halloween Party. The boys had fun and so did I once I just relaxed about them trying to eat the flour!

The Shed

2011-11-26T22:06:00.001-07:00

Tyler has worked so hard and has completed the shed. This took Tyler about a month to build. Once he starts a project he never stops until it is finished. That is one thing I love about Tyler, he never leaves anything undone or unfinished. He works really hard to finish things 100%. We are so excited to move everything from the garage to the shed. Job Well Done Tyler!

picture of finished product coming soon....

Bike rides for Justin and Dad

2011-11-19T23:45:00.001-07:00

Tyler pulled his bike out of the closet in the garage and Justin thought it was so cool that his Dad had a bike. Justin and Tyler like to go around the block on their bikes.

I don't think that Tyler can do the same tricks that Justin does on his bike. Like putting his feet back on the pegs!

Twins and the Dentist

2011-11-19T23:16:00.001-07:00

On October 10th I was brave. I took the twins to the dentist. This was their first experience at the dentist. I took Justin a few weeks earlier and was told that it was a good idea to bring in children before they turn 2 years old. So I signed myself up. It wasn't too bad.

Fisher did great. he opened his mouth and let Dr. Tew look in. His teeth are healthy. I should expect 2-year-old molars next.

Hunter did not like this experience at all. I don' think it had anything to do with Dr. Tew but that he just doesn't like unfamiliar places and strangers poking and prodding him. His teeth looked good. He has a little decay behind his top teeth. I just need to brush with fluoride toothpaste to give him some additional protection. His teeth are coming in slow but they look like they are coming. So just be patient and wait.

Because I was by myself with the twins and had Justin too I was not able to get any pictures of them in the actual chair. This is them in the waiting area. Fisher looks thrilled doesn't he.

Justin did so good. He listened and stayed right by me the whole time.

UEA with the Cousins

2011-11-19T11:56:00.001-07:00

Over UEA break we went to the park with my sisters and their kids. This park was a new one for most of the kids. It was so much fun! It is really a fun big toy... oh, and is it big...the slide had to be about 16' tall. It was fun for all the kids even for Cole who is 10 years-old. The weather was perfect. The kids played on the toy and then went running on the big grass area and rolled down the hills. We ate Lehi Bakery Donuts (the best ever) and then went back to Haylie's for lunch. It was a fun day spent with cousins!!

Cole in the climbing cage. Soren in the tree house.

Hannah Bannana way up on the zig-zag wall.

Fisher walking around like he owns the place.

Addie, Emmie, and Hannie. They are the only girls and oh are they cute.

Hunter enjoyed the big toy today. This toy was actually big enough for me to get on it too. He did great in his little sunglasses. It was a perfect day at the park for him.

Justin scaling the rock wall.

Keegan acting silly. He is always pulling a face.

Will tried climbing the pole up to the slide.

Jason peering over the edge of the slide. It looks like he is way up in the sky and he is...this slide was sooo tall.

Fisher had no problems with the height of this slide. He just loved being outside and running free.

We has so much fun. We will definately go back to this park. That night when I was putting Justin to bed he said, "My that park is my new favorite park."

Pumpkin Patch

2011-11-17T13:35:00.001-07:00

I took the boys to the Pumpkin Patch a few days before Halloween. They had so much fun. Justin loved all the funny shaped pumpkins - especially the tall skinny ones. Fisher loved pulling the wagon around (once I set him free from the stroller). Hunter loved being outside in the good weather. We got some pumpkins for the porch and to carve for Halloween. Justin picked out a pumpkin for each boy. Justin's was pretty big...too big for him to carry. Fisher's was nice and round and almost too heavy for Justin to carry but still managable. Hunter's was tall and skinny but it was smaller than Fisher's. Justin was very addimant that Hunter's pumpkin could not be bigger than Fisher's becuase Hunter is the smallest brother. It was pretty cute.

Elk Hunting

2011-11-16T22:22:00.001-07:00

The last week in September, Tyler and Justin went Elk hunting out by Duchesne. Tyler didn't have a tag but his brother, Lee, did. Justin had so much fun staying in the trailer with Uncle Shay, cousin Austin, and Uncle Scoob (Brian). Tyler and Justin would sleep in and go day hunting in the truck and then would do a little hiking. When Lee did shoot his Elk, everyone at camp jumped on the 4-wheelers to go see the elk. Justin rode with Uncle Scoob and Tyler got on with Shay. Uncle Scoob and Justin started to tip on the 4-wheeler so Uncle Scoob threw Justin off so that if the 4-wheeler rolled it wouldn't land on them. Everyone was ok but Justin just could not understand why Uncle Scoob would just throw him off. Tyler explained to him that Uncle Scoob did that so Justin wouldn't get hurt. Justin could understand that so he forgave Uncle Scoob. Justin looks forward to hunting with Tyler every year. He always tells me that girls don't go abd it is just a boys trip. I can't wait until Fisher and Hunter get to go on the boys trip too!!

Shay, Britt, Austin, Brian, Lee

Justin thought the Elk looked big.

Stinkin' Smart Justin

2011-10-25T16:57:00.002-06:00

The other day Justin said to Tyler: "Dad, you want to hear the alphabet backwards?" Of course, Tyler said yes. Justin amazed us when he did the entire alphabet backwards with only a little help from V thru Q.

Sometime when we are driving in the car he will say: "Look Mom, there is a pattern." and he will follow up with what the pattern is: Boy, girl, boy, girl. Red, blue, red, blue. He picks up patterns in things really easily.

Lately, Justin has been into addition and subtraction. He knows 1+1, 2+2, 3+3, 4+4, 5+5, 1+2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9, 2+ 3/4/5, 4+5 and probably a few others. He really has the subtraction down to a science when he is eating. "Mom, I have to have 5 more bites and I ate one bite so I have 4 left." and so on like that.

When we are riding in the car he always asks what roads we are driving on and wants to know what city we are in at all times. He asks directions to places we have been like "How do you get to Park City?" "Where is Nevada?" and "How do you get to Provo?" He knows our address and all the major roads coming from Grandma Clark's house to our house.

Justin also is very interested in school buildings. He wants to know the name of every signle one. He knows all of the schools by name that we regularly drive by and how old you have to be to go there. He can't wait to be 5 to go to elementary school.

I told Justin the other day that he was 'stinkin' smart.' and he said, "I'm not stinkin' smart. I'm just smart." I had to chuckle at that one.

Justin is a very deep thinker. He gets this from his dad. Justin can memorize anything, just like his daddy!

Mom is so proud of you Justin!!

Alot alike or very different?

2011-10-14T23:17:00.000-06:00

I always get asked if Fisher and Hunter are a lot alike or very different. My answer is, without hesitation, very different!!

I think the only thing that they are alike on is their birth date and the time of day they have a messy diaper.

This is how different they are:

* Fisher wont lay down in the tub and Hunter wont sit up.
* Fisher's hair is combed to his left and Hunter's to his right.
* Fisher hates, hates his diaper changed. Hunter loves his diaper changed.
* Fisher loves his teeth brushed, Hunter doesn't really like it.
* Fisher wont sit still for more than a couple of minutes. Hunter is content with a toy for a long time.
* Fisher has blonde hair brown eyes and Hunter has brown hair blue eyes.
* Fisher's hair looks best short short and Hunter a little longer.
* Fisher does not like to be snuggled. Hunter is a little snuggle bug.
* Fisher loves his shoes on (that means he is going outside) and Hunter takes his shoes off almost immediately.
* Fisher is a daddy's boy and Hunter a mommy's boy.
* Fisher is a crappy eater. Hunter eats great.
* Fisher must eat at the counter without a bib and Hunter eats in a highchair with a bib.
* Fisher has to have his dinosaur to go to sleep. Hunter doesn't need anything to fall asleep (except medication).
* Fisher loves to read books; Hunter would rather chew on them.
* Fisher has to touch everything. Hunter has to chew/suck/taste everything.
* Fisher likes his milk warm. Hunter likes his milk HOT.
* Fisher doesn't have a ticklish spot on his body. Hunter is very ticklish all over.
* Fisher needs a lot of sleep. Hunter survives on a lot less sleep.
* Fisher throws things when he gets frustrated. Hunter doesn't get frustrated.
* Fisher loves otter pops. Hunter wont touch them.

These are just a few differences. We just love that they are their own little person. I always say that Heavenly Father knew I couldn't handle 2 Fisher's or 2 Hunter's and that is why I got them just the way they are.

We feel blessed to have the 3 very different boys that we have!!! We love you Justin, Fisher and Hunter! Thanks for being you!

What's for dinner?

2011-10-10T21:17:00.004-06:00

This is what Justin said at dinner tonight:

"Mom you aren't allowed to make dinner anymore. This is gross."

I honestly hate dinner time. Any meal time for that matter. It seems like you can never please everyone and some nights you can't even please one.

PS Tyler did eat dinner so it must have been ok.

* The hurricane

Fisher is a busy boy! He is learning to talk real fast. He is always saying "Trackhoe" cause there is so much road construction everywhere. He thinks he is as big as Justin. He is so cute with Hunter and lets him play trucks with him at the couch. He is a picky eater and makes a royal mess while eating! Fisher is our mischeivious brother!

We love our Fisher!

The Twins Turned TWO!!

2011-10-08T22:58:00.005-06:00

Fisher and Hunter celebrated their 2nd Birthday on September 29th!

The boys love trains! Tyler and I made this cake for them.

They were so cute at their party. We couldn't get them close enough to blow the candles out because Fisher kept trying to touch them.

Fisher ate a cupcake and a piece of the train car.

Hunter tried his cupcake. He didn't eat much but he tried it and he liked it!

Here they are together! They are quite the pair!

Fisher loved his new bike. He didn't quite understand that it was hit bike when he opened it. It had to sink in.

Hunter loved the Mickey laptop from Grandma Sing and Grandpa Scott.

My favorite present was the snuggle jammies from Grandma Clark. They are the softest ever!

We love you boys!!

INDEPENDENT STEPS...with his walker

2011-10-04T23:01:00.008-06:00

Hunter has taken his first INDEPENDENT STEPS....with his toy walker!! This is very exciting! Independent means without help from mom or dad.

On September 17th, I put Hunter down in front of his walker. He took 3 steps on his own and fell down. I was so excited that I went out on the deck and yelled to Tyler (he was working on the new shed in the backyard) that Hunter took 3 steps on his own. When I came back inside Hunter had gotten up and was walking even more. He had made his way from the center of the room to the side. I was completely over joyed. I yelled to Tyler that he took more steps. Tyler came in to see for himself. Hunter walked across the TV room with his toy walker 4 times!! He was so so happy. He just kept smiling as we cheered him on. He continues to get better each day.

I have worked with Hunter for a long time to get to this milestone. I began by holding his legs at his knee and lifting his leg up with my fingers. I did this so he could get the motion down of lifting his leg forward. Each day it got easier for him and there was less and less resistance. He started to go through the motion with very little resistance until he felt comfortable with it. Then he surprised me with the independent steps while holding on to his walker!! He did this 2 weeks shy of his 2nd birthday! Way to go Hunter!!

Justin's trip to the dentist

2011-10-04T22:47:00.005-06:00

"His teeth are the cleanest I have seen in a long time." These are the words that I heard when I took Justin to the dentist last week!! I was very excited.

Justin's teeth look great and his permanent teeth are coming in well. The gapping in his teeth are great to allow for his permanent teeth to grow into.

We went to Children's Crossing and saw Dr. Tew. They were amazing. Justin had X-rays and then had his teeth cleaned and then Dr. Tew looked him over.

Justin held so still while he had his teeth cleaned. Not much flossing since he has so many gaps!

Justin's favorite part was that he was able to watch Toy Story 3 on the TV on the ceiling. He thought it was pretty cool especially when he got to wear headphones so only he could hear it. It was great!

They gave Justin a new toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, floss picks, chapstick, gum and a token to put in the prize machine. The prize machine gave him a glow in the dark pig.

The speedball has a soft side

2011-10-04T22:41:00.005-06:00

We call Fisher speedball cause he is so BUSY and never stops. He is so cute even though he is a lot to keep up with. Here are a couple of my favorites lately.

When Hunter finishes eating Fisher loves to climb up on a chair and play. Here he is reading Hunter a story. Hunter loves it when Fisher does this.

All the boys have banks in my closet. Why the master bedroom closet? well, Tyler has a bottle in their that he puts spare change into. When Justin got his dog bank he just naturally wanted to put it by Dad's bank. So when Fisher and Hunter got their banks Justin put them next to his. Anyway, sometimes when I need to have Fisher focus on one thing I dump some change out of Tyler's bank and let the boys put it in their banks. I just loved this picture of Fisher.

Hunter is CRUISING!!

2011-10-03T14:54:00.003-06:00

Hunter started CRUISING the couch! This happened around the end of August. It is so exciting for us! He is 23 months old! Hooray for Hunner Bunner!

Justin's back to preschool

2011-10-02T16:01:00.004-06:00

Justin started back to Preschool just after Labor Day! He goes to Smarty Pants Preschool with Mrs. Marci. He loves preschool and so do I!

What a handsome boy!

Labor Day Camp Trip

2011-10-02T15:40:00.013-06:00

For Labor Day we went camping up Diamond Fork. This is one of our annual family camp trips. Tyler loves to go camping for his birthday and over Labor Day. My parents went with us. It was a lot of fun. It would have been better if the boys would have slept better. None of the boys slept very good which makes it for a sleepless night for mom and dad.

The whole family on our nightly walk.

Justin giving the thumbs up. He rode his bike in his jammies and kept sitting on his wheel.

Fisher and Hunter on the nightly walk. Hunter was constantly bugging Fisher the whole time in the stroller. Hunter would pull on Fisher's pj's and Fisher would get so bothered. It was a little funny.

We found a rope swing that was tied in the tree right by our camp. Justin liked it.

Here is our camp site.

Hunter played so good on the blanket. He was content just being in the fresh air and in the shade!

Justin kept climbing the tree right by our picnic table.

Justin and Tyler husking our corn for our dinner. Justin had a lot of fun husking.

Fisher eating a hot dog.

Grandpa Scott sleeping....again.

Chef Tyler cooked up some tasty dutch oven. We had chicken, vegetables, corn on the cob, and apple cobbler! Yummy!

Fisher and Justin doing beads.

Justin climbing again. Fisher stuck his hand right under Justin's foot and it got smashed. Fisher followed Justin the whole time.

My Mom and Dad by the river waiting for the kids to throw rocks in.

Mom helped Hunter toss a few rocks in the river.

Fisher and Justin really enjoyed the river and throwing rocks in.

Justin with some Grandpa Scott rocks. These were his favorite cause they were the biggest. Rocks + River = Smiles

The twins confined. Sometimes we had to put Fisher in the highchair just so we could sit down and take a breather.

Connie & Lester

2011-10-02T15:37:00.003-06:00

Tyler's sister Connie and her husband Lester were sealed for Time and all Eternity in the Salt Lake Temple on September 3rd. Was a blessing for them and for our family. A lot of the family saw there to support them!

Justin and his bike

2011-10-02T08:10:00.005-06:00

This summer Justin has learned to ride a bike. He got a small 12" bike for Easter. It took him a little while to get the hang of pedaling; in the beginning he just wanted to push it along with his feet. Once he got the hang of pedaling there was no stopping him.

In June, for his birthday, he got a new bigger bike. The new 16" bike accommodated his height so much better. It took him about 1 day to adjust from the little bike to his new bike and then he could ride so much faster. I took the training wheels off the small bike and thought that he could get used to balancing on a shorter bike. It took him a few days with mom's help and then he was off. He no longer wanted to ride his new big bike with training wheels because "riding without training wheels is so much fun!" Once he got really good at the balancing I took the training wheels off his bigger bike. I talked him into trying to ride it without training wheels and it only took him about 5 minutes to adjust from the smaller bike. Justin loves riding his bike without training wheels. He now does so much on his bike.

Some of the tricks that he can do:
* put his feet on the back pegs while riding
* go up and down the curb
* go off the jump that Tyler built for him
* ride without hands (this means that he lifts his fingers off the handle bars and holds on with his thumbs)
* stand up (almost 100% of the time)
* sit on his back wheel once he comes to a stop
* wiggles back and forth by twisting his handle bars while riding (this scares Mom and makes Dad very nervous)

Justin has done so good riding his bike, especially with no training wheels. Way to go Justo!!

This summer has been about the friends

2011-10-02T08:00:00.010-06:00

This summer has been filled with fun activities and friends, friends, friends! I just love the cul-de-sac that we live in. There are so many fun friends for Justin. He has become so independent this summer. It has been great for me that he can go outside and play without constant supervision. There are a few rules when he goes outside to play: #1 don't go past the gray ditch (that means don't go out of the circle). #2 don't go inside anyone's house without asking mom. #3 play nice.
He does great and loves being outside.

Kierra, Wyatt and Justin playing in the sandbox.

Wyatt, Justin and Kierra eating cupcakes on the deck.

Justin, Wyatt and Fisher having snacks. Fisher was so happy the big boys wanted him to snack with them.

Kierra, Wyatt and Justin playing in the mud with the big trucks! Cameron is on the "Skateboard" swing. They call it the skateboard swing because if you stand up on it then its like you are riding a big skateboard.

MacKay, Kierra, Justin and Wyatt on the tramp.

Justin, Wyatt, Fisher, Kierra and Maddi eating Otter Pops!

Kierra, Maddi, Justin and Wyatt on the tramp in the "rain". One afternoon I sprayed the kids with the hose so that it felt like it was raining. They loved it.

Wyatt, Justin and Kierra in Wyatt's pool in his backyard.

Knights in Shinning Armour! Justin said, "Wyatt is a knight and I am Shinning Armour!"

Wyatt and Justin on their bikes. They were taking a break from the sun in Wyatt's garage.

This summer Wyatt and Justin went to Summer Camp together. They had a dress up day. Wyatt was a knight and Justin was Sherrif Woody.

Ryker, Justin, Wyatt and Fisher taking a break in the shade eating otter pops!

Summer time is the best. Justin spent most of his time this summer with Wyatt Page, Kierra Saunders and Maddi Macey. Other friends that are not in the pictures are Will, Gwen and Maggie Endsley, Austin and Jayden Saunders, Alexia Recksiek, Camri Clayton, Easton Atwood, Cameron, Gavin and Braden Nault. Thanks to all the friends who made summer so much fun!!

Hunter's new tricks

2011-10-02T07:54:00.003-06:00

Hunter has picked up a few new tricks. He is so stinking flexable.

He is really good at holding his own bottle now. Sometimes he gets his feet to help out.

Hunter loves to crawl down the hall to Justin's bedroom. We are so happy that he is learnign to explore!

Hunter does this amazing "trick". He puts his head on the floor and his bum in the air which bends him right in half.

Once Hunter mastered the bent-in-hal-upside-down trick he decided that was his prefered playing position.

I have got to get a picture of Hunter in the stoller with both feet in his mouth!

Justin's first bad bike crash

2011-09-15T14:52:00.003-06:00

Justin had his first bad bike crash. He has been riding his bike up and down the curb so much that he bent the training wheels on his bike. The training wheels were so bent that when he took a sharp turn he tipped over. I must admit that he had a little help from mom. He was riding in the road and I yelled at him to get out of the road and he looked over his shoulder and turned real sharp and went down. I felt really bad.

He felt better after taking a break and putting some ice on it. I was proud of him for being tough.

Scripture Time

2011-09-15T14:49:00.002-06:00

We have really been trying to have scripture time every night. It has been awesome for our family. Justin asks ALOT of questions and retains dang near everything. We try to calm things down a little by giving a round of milk to all of them. Justin gets Strawberry milk in a sippy so he can drink it with the brothers on the couch. This was a good night of scripture reading.

Fisher, Justin and Hunter!

When Daddy comes home

2011-09-15T14:47:00.001-06:00

When Daddy comes home .... the boys are happy as can be. They miss their Daddy!

Worms

2011-09-15T14:46:00.002-06:00

Justin loves the worms they find in the sandbox!!

Fisher thinks he is as big as ever

2011-09-15T14:29:00.005-06:00

Fisher is my handful. He thinks he is as big as Justin and wants to do everything the bigger kids are doing. He LOVES to follow Justin around constantly and do whatever Justin is doing! After lunch Fisher always gets down from the counter and goes to the back door and cries cause he wants to go outside and he can't quite figure out that darn doorknob!

Fisher has learned that "big boys" eat at the bar and without a bib. He LOVES ketchup and he doesn't like his food to touch each other. He is stubborn.

Putting on Justin's bike helmet.

Outside with the hose. He loves water and being outside so this is a snapshot of his perfect world.

Otter pops are one of his staples. Loves them, especially when he is outside with the bigger kids.

The only indoor activity that distracts him from the outdoors is lining the cars up on the couch or in the windowsill. He really likes cars. Notice that the 2 Mater trucks are together, then all the blue cars, then the black cars and so on and they are facing the same direction. Does he get this particularness from his mom or his dad? That is a good question!

He watched Justin climb on the back of the couch so now he climbs on the back of the couch. He loves standing in the windowsills. I don't like it.

Fisher knows when he gets his shoes on he can go outside. He was so proud of hiself for getting Justin's shoes on him.

Justin and Fisher are good friends. Fisher just loves to eat breakfast at the bar with Justin. He will wear the bib as long as it looks like a dishtowel!

Fisher is my speedball but I love him very much. He has the cutest personality and never sits still for more than 30 seconds.

Highland Splash Pad

2011-09-15T14:17:00.006-06:00

The first day of school I thought it would be fun to take the little kids to the Highland Splash Pad. I invited my sisters and their little ones to go with us. It was fun but I think alot of mom's had the same idea because it was busy busy with lots of pre-first-graders (the kindergarten kids started the following week).

Hunter was really good. I put him in the umbrella striller and put him right down in the river with us. The umbrella worked awesome becuase it is made to clip on umbrella strollers. It helped him keep his eyes open out there in the blazing sun. Hunter ended up falling asleep and slept on a blanket under the beach umbrella.

Fisher loved the water. This was totally his thing.

Justin loves the splash pad. He had fun with the cousins.

Keegan loves the water coming out of the rocks.

Emmie and Hannah.

The "Little Boys" of my family minus Hunter. Justin, Fisher, Soren, Keegan and Jason. There are 6 little boys from Justin down in the Gerber family. That means 6 boys in 2 years! It is going to be crazy in a couple more years. I was bummered that Hunter was sleeping during this picture.

Will, Addy and Cole got to go to school today. We missed them too!

Hunter can do STAIRS!!

2011-09-15T14:10:00.002-06:00

Hunter has mastered going UP the STAIRS!! We have worked on this for several months. These pictures were taken the end of July. When we first started working on the stairs someone had to follow very close behind and help him with his legs. He also had to have just the right toy above him to coax him up. When he started to get the hang of the stairs he could only make it to the landing and have to have a rest. Now Hunter can go from the basement all the way upstairs without stopping on the landing and without a toy to coax him! He is not very fast at the stairs but he can do them and we are thrilled about it. We are still working on coming down!

Hunter was about 22-23 months old when he did stairs with minimal assistance!

Alpine Slide

2011-09-06T15:34:00.007-06:00

Tyler took Justin on the Alpine Slide. It took forever to finally make it on because it kept raining off and on. But they made it and had a blast. I waited at the bottom with the little boys and had quite the time entertaining them while we waited. Tyler was a little worried about going to fast and scaring Justin so he took it easy. Tyler said the whole way down Justin kept saying, "Faster Dad, faster."

The funniest thing happened when Tyler bought the tickets for the ride. Justin kept asking to go on a ride. Tyler explained to him that we needed tickets to go on the rides. So Tyler got in the ticket line with Justin and bought tickets. When they finally had tickets in their hands Justin came runnign across the plaza yelling, "Mom, We got tickets!" It was so stinking cute. A bystander told Tyler that made his day seeing Justin's excitement.

I had to get creative to entertain Fisher while we waited for Dad and Justin. He lined up rocks on the benches and banged rocks against the poles. He had fun. He kept going over to the guys running the ski lift and pestering them and repeating Dad Dad Dad over and over. I finally figured out that he thought the workers were Tyler because they had red shirts on and so did Tyler. Hunter was just happy to be in the stroller playing with the canopy.

Carousel

2011-09-06T15:32:00.004-06:00

We went up to the Mountain Side Resort and did some activities up there. Here we are riding the carousel. This was the fastes carousel I have ever riden.

Family walk in Park City

2011-09-06T15:22:00.004-06:00

The last full day we were in Park City we went for a walk on the walking path near our condo. It was fairly shady and a nice little walk. Of course, we ended up at the trackhoe park again.

We came across this music park on our walk. There were all sorts of things that you could hit with this club that would make different sounds. It was pretty cool.

Justin was so anxious and walked ahead of us most of the walk.

I got a kick out of this tree with all the shoes hanging in it. I had never heard of it before and I guess I have a cousin that scaled the tree one time and scored her a new pair of shoes. Crazy if you ask me.

Dad and the little brothers in the stoller on the bridge.

Justin on the bridge.

Splash Park in Park City

2011-09-06T15:18:00.003-06:00

We went to the splash park in Park City while we were there. We met my friend, Tiffany, and her 2 daughters and some friends there. As soon as we started to play it started to sprinkle and then within minutes it was down pouring. We tried to get out of the rain and wait it out but the owners came out and said they had to turn it off due to the lightening. As soon as we got loaded in the van the sun came out and it quit raining; of course, we were all soaking wet and freezing by then.

Trackhoe Park 2011

2011-09-06T14:51:00.006-06:00

All 3 boys loved the trackhoe park. It is the best park ever. It has shade and a fence that surrounds the play area. There is a big toy, climbing web, swings, sandbox, and trackhoes. We spent several hours at this park every day we stayed in Park City.

Mom and Hunter in the shade

Justin on the climbing web...his favorite spot this year.

Fisher swinging.

Hunter swinging.

Justin wanted to push Hunter so bad. He was a good brother and helped with the boys so much.

Justin got up enough nerve to try the tire swing. He liked it but didnt get back on it again.

The swings were so much fun. There were 2 baby swings. It was great being able to push them both at the same time.

Fisher loved this ramp part of the toy. He would go up and down it. I am surprised he didnt wear a track right in it.

Hunter feel asleep in the stroller and had a great nap!

What a fun park!

Park City 2011

2011-09-06T14:28:00.004-06:00

We love our annual summer trip to Park City. This year we went over the July 24th Weekend. We stayed at my parents time share and it was awesome. The boys love to get away on this little family vacation. The only thing we do is go to the main city park, (which Justin has dubbed the "Trackhoe Park" because there is a trackhoe in the sandbox) and eat.

The boys had so much fun playing at the park. Hunter loved the swings. Fisher liked the swings too but he just loved running up and down the little ramp on the big toy. Justin spent the majority of his time at the park climbing the "spider web". It was a lot of fun.

One night we did go swimming. The funniest thing happened when we were swimming. We finally get all 5 of us in the pool. Justin has his life jacket on, Tyler has Fisher and I have Hunter. We just get in the pool and get used to the water when Justin says, "I gotta pee." Really? The problem with this is that it is not that easy for one adult to have 2 babies in the pool while the other adult takes Justin to the bathroom. This is how it went...

Justin: "I gotta pee."
Tyler: "Can you hold it?"
Justin: "No, Dad."
Tyler: "Justin, just this once you can pee in the pool." I was shocked! Tyler never would allow it! I began laughing when Justin replied.
Justin: "I don't want to pee in the pool Dad."
Tyler: "Justin it's ok."
Justin: (talking very loud this time) "I don't want to pee in the pool."
Hillary: "Justin, its ok if you are in Park City." I couldn't believe I was even saying this but thinking of what a pain it was going to be to get all 5 of us back out for a bathroom run.
Justin: "I don't want to pee in the pool."
Tyler: "Ok, lets go to the bathroom."

So we finally gave in and were as proud as ever at our 4-year-old who was doing the right thing. It ended up being just fine. I took both babies in the water and Tyler took Justin to the bathroom (very quickly) and all was well. We laughed so hard because Justin just kept talking louder and louder and we were giggling between trying to explain to him any justification that it was ok to pee in the pool. Thanks Justin for putting us on the right track!

I didn't get very good pictures of the condo but it was nice and roomy.

Justin played with his Hot Wheels Race Track when the twins took their naps. This one was the best: off the fire place, onto the table, off the table on to some pillows, on the floor to the jump, and landing in a laundry basket.

Hunter played so good. Tyler was playing with him when he noticed the plumber's crack. Hunter had crawled right out of his pants and almost his diaper!

Hunter played so good at the condo. He was happy and content with his toys.

Justin jumped right up on the bed the minute we got there and snuggled down with his blankets. It was so funny....he about got lots in the bed pillows!

There are no pictures of Fisher at the condo. I think this is becasue everything Fisher did it took my 2 hands to get him down and so I didnt have a hand to hold the camera in. Fisher climbed on EVERYTHING.

The follwing posts will be about the trackhoe park and the carosel and the alpine slide!

Why do we have to listen to them?

2011-08-26T14:55:00.005-06:00

When we were driving up to Kennecott Copper Mine we drove by the Oquir Mountain Temple and the conversation in the car went like this.

Mom: "Look Justin, there's the temple."

Justin: "What's its name?"

Mom: "That's the Oquir Mountain Temple."

Justin: "Oh, Oquir Mountain Temple. Can I go in the temple?"

Mom: "Well, little kids can only see the outside of the temple. When you are 12 you can get a recommend from the Bishop and go inside to do Baptisms for the Dead."

Justin: "Oh. Why do you go to the temple, Mom?"

Mom: "Yeah, Dad, why do we go to the temple?"

Dad: "Because Heavenly Father and Jesus want us to go to the temple."

Justin: "Why do we have to listen to them?"

Mom and Dad both bust up laughing and try to hide it.

Dad: "Because Heavenly Father and Jesus know what we need to do to be happy."

Justin: "Fine." with a huff and clearly not satisfied with the answer.

Kennecott Copper Mine

2011-08-26T14:49:00.002-06:00

In July we went to the Kennecott Copper Mine. It was HUGE! It was a fun family outing.

Birdhouse Construction

2011-08-26T14:46:00.002-06:00

About a month ago on a Saturday morning Justin came in the house and asked his dad if they could build something. Tyler told him they could make a birdhouse. Justin was so excited. Justin helped with his very own tools. They still need to paint it. Justin just had to have his buddy Wyatt come over and look at it.

Thanks Dad for a fun building project!

Fisher and his trucks

2011-08-26T14:41:00.003-06:00

Fisher LOVES trucks. He loves to drive them along everything. Today he was so cute with the tiny backhoe. He kept driving it along the green cloth and then he figured out that he can drive it over the "bumps" too. He tipped down my little sign and drove his backhoe over it 100 times. He was even making little noises.

Fisher is such a busy body that it was amazing to me that he was content with the backhoe for more than 30 seconds. Justin must have been outside because Fisher usually is fighting to get whatever Justin has. Fisher thinks he is as old as Justin.

Hunter Standing

2011-08-26T14:35:00.004-06:00

Hunter can pull to stand at just about anything now. He is even starting to take a few side steps at the couch. He is doing awesome! These pictures are over the last month or so. This is huge for Hunter!

This last picture is my favorite. When I came out of the kitchen and saw this I got all teary-eyed. It makes me happy when Hunter can play alongside his brothers.

Slipn-n-Slide with the Cousins

2011-08-26T14:18:00.005-06:00

Last month we had a cousin day at our house. The kids played on the slip-n-slide and in the sand. When we were all done outside the fun moved inside. The kids had bubble baths (4 boys together and then 3 girls together), once we were done with the bubble baths then everyone needed the bubbles rinsed off. So they all got in the shower, 4 boys and then the 3 girls. We had a lot of fun. Thanks to Grandma Sing for all the treats! Cole had baseball so he wasn't here.

Hunter hung out in the pack-n-play on the deck. Poor little guy; his eyes are so sensitive to the sun. He can barely open his eyes if he is not in the shade.

Neighbor Friends

2011-08-24T22:54:00.004-06:00

This summer has been a blast for Justin! We live in the best cul-de-sac and have some of the funnest neighbor friends. They love to play all day long. They ride bikes, play in the sand, jump on the tramp, play with sidewalk chalk, play slip-n-slide, run through the sprinkler. We cant forget to mention the snacks and picnics for lunch! Oh, and I have become the otter-pop queen. Its been fun to see Justin grow up with this new found independence!

Slip-n-Slide. Madi, Justin and Alexia.

What a fun Summer. I have got to get some pictures of the kids playing in the sandbox!

Randomness

2011-08-24T22:43:00.004-06:00

We have had so much fun this summer. The boys love to wrestle and play outside. That about sums it all up. Here are a few random pictures that I just love.

Hunter is getting so good at crawling that he sometimes crawls right out of his pants!

Justin and Hunter wrestling. Justin is so good to let Hunter wrestle him. Justin is the best big brother ever! Hunter is getting rougher each day.

Hunter and mom on the tramp. Hunter was concentrating on standing up with a little bounce. He really liked the tramp.

Fisher and Justin love to wrestle on the couch. They usually do this until one of them ends up hurt.

This never happens! Hunter feel asleep eating lunch.

I love my 3 boys and get a kick out of them.

Dance Fisher Dance

2011-08-24T22:33:00.002-06:00

This is the cutest video of Fisher dancing. He is dancing to a musical Birthday card that Justin got from Grandma Sing and Grandpa Scott.

July 4th

2011-08-24T22:20:00.009-06:00

ok, so what if I am almost 2 months behind but I want this post for the memories.

This year the 4th of July was spent right at home. We sat in our cul-de-sac and watched all the neighbors fireworks. The twins took late naps so it worked out great and they were able to stay up late.

Fisher had to be restrained and entertained with an otter-pop.

Hunter did great in the pack-n-play.

Justin wanted to run around with his friends but he did hang around long enough to catch this photo.

Justin loved the sparklers this year! What a fun 4th!

Fisher is a Daddy's Boy

2011-08-24T22:15:00.003-06:00

Fisher is truely a Daddy's Boy. Anytime Tyler lays down or sits down Fisher climbs right on top of him. He gets so excited when Tyler comes home from work; he runs in a circle yelling "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy." Anytime we are in the van and Fisher sees a red truck he starts kicking his legs and wiggling his head saying "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy." I hope this never ends!

Ophir 2011

2011-08-10T14:22:00.012-06:00

Every July we go to Ophir for the Clark Family Reunion. It is always so much fun. We love going to Ophir because it is an awesome campground. There are plenty of individual campsites, a large grass section with a horseshoe pit, sand volleyball, a big toy and a huge sandbox (with a pavilion over it). All of this is inside of a large asphalt circle where the kids ride bikes all day. There is a large covered pavilion with about 20 picnic tables under it. There is flushing toilets and running water (cold water). The whole place is surrounded by a chain link fence which keeps the kids in. There is a creek that runs down Ophir Canyon but it is just on the outside of the fence. We let the kids play in the water and then close the gate and all is safe again.

Activities include: horseshoe tourney, tie dye shirts, singing around the campfire, smorse, riding bikes, bead bracelets, playing in the sand, water fight and of course non-stop eating! And I can't forget about the Triple F . . . Fabulous Family Fun! We love every minute of it. We look forward to going each and every year.

Here are a few snap shots:

View of the Backseat

2011-08-02T14:33:00.002-06:00

This is the typical view of the backseat. Hunter is the shoe hudenie, he always gets his one shoe and sock off the minute he gets in the carseat. He also sticks his legs straight in the air. Justin is the 100-question wonder. He never stops asking questions; he wants to know absolutely everything. And Fisher is just happy to be going somewhere. The only time he ever throws a fuss is if we pull up to Grandma Clark's and he doesn't get to get out and swing.

"Hunter is bugging me"

2011-08-02T14:23:00.003-06:00

What a wonderful thing to hear "Hunter is bugging me!" This is a new saying around our house and we couldn't be more happy about it. We have waited a long time for Hunter to interact with the other boys.

Justin usually lets Hunter wrestle for a minute before he wants him to get off. Fisher just screams when Hunter pulls at him and Hunter just laughs. It is pretty funny.

Usually when Hunter gets you he just slobbers all over you.

Fisher, his bear and his blanket

2011-08-02T14:19:00.004-06:00

Fisher is so stinking cute. He loves stuff animals and blankets. He always give the animals hugs and packs them around.

On this particular day he was pretty grumpy waking up from his nap and this was the only thing that made him happy!

Justin's 4

2011-08-01T22:49:00.005-06:00

Wow. Justin is 4-years-old! Where did the time go?!

Fun Facts:
Weight: 43 lbs
Height: 43.5 inches
Head Circumference: only 3 cm smaller than mom's!

Some of Justin's Favorite Things:
Riding his bike
Playing in the sand
Jumping on the tramp
Eating "White Cereal" in the TV room (Cinnamon Toast Crunch in front of cartoons)
Helping Dad build stuff
Camping
School - Miss Marci's Preschool and Teacher Nisha's Summer Camp
Playing Lego's at Grandma Sing's
Strawberry milk at bedtime
Playing with his friends (He always says he has 15 friends)
Going to Primary
Swimming - especially the diving board and slides
Swinging at Grandma Clark's
Slip & Slide

Justin is so tender hearted. He looks after his little brothers and protects them. He gets so worried if Fisher gets even remotely close to the road. He lets Hunter wrestle him and he is so careful with him. Justin is a momma's boy but when he wants his Dad he wants his Dad. Justin is a big help and is a great kid.

Justin is very smart and can memorize almost anything. Some of the things he knows that amaze us are: the Pledge of Allegiance, the Cub Scout Promise, mom's phone number, left & right, every house by last name on both sides of the street all the way around our block, the names of every school on the way to Lehi and then some, can name every piece of construction equipment you can think of including different types of semi trucks. He has am amazing memory (he gets that from his Dad)!

We love you Justin!

Monkey Island

2011-08-01T22:16:00.007-06:00

Justin's 4th Birthday Friend Party was CRAZY to say the least. We met at our house for presents, cake and ice cream cones. Justin got lots of neat toys from his friends. After presents and treats the kids played in the backyard for a little bit while we got car seats figured out and then it was off to Monkey Island! We had lots of fun but it was tough to keep track of 11 crazy "monkeys" at Monkey Island! Thanks Emily and Lexie for helping me!

When the kids were wore out they had otter pops and got a goodie bag before leaving! They had LOTS of fun!

The Invitation:

Justin and Halle climbing the wall to the slide.

Brody & Jack (in back) on the motorcycles. These two buddied right up!

Brody, Cameron & Halle

Justin and Emmie make a break for the wall with Maya close on their tails.

Wyatt and Justin eating otter pops. They were all pooped from all the running and bouncing! It looks like Wyatt was sad about something.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JUSTIN!

Happy Birthday Justo

2011-08-01T22:07:00.004-06:00

For Justin's 4th Birthday he had two parties - a friend party and a family party. This one was the family party. He got lots of fun new things from grandma's and grandpa's and the cousins. Thanks to everyone who made it a special day for Justin.

The cake was a Lego cake. A girl in my ward made it for me. It was pretty neat. Justin really liked it.

Justin and Grandma Sing. Grandpa Scott was sick. We missed you Grandpa!

Justin and Grandma Clark!

New Bike for the 4-Year-Old

2011-08-01T22:03:00.002-06:00

For Justin's 4th Birthday he got a new bike. He turned 4 on June 26th. (I know, I am over a month late on the post.) He was so excited and jumped on and rode it around the house immediately. He has done so well riding it.

Justin loves to ride bikes with his buddy, Wyatt. Here they are trying to show off their muscles.

Another Milestone

2011-08-01T22:01:00.002-06:00

Hunter can hold his own bottle now! He can only do it successfully with about 5 oz or less in it. Any more than that its too heavy to hold up. We are working on a little more each day!

SMORES

2011-07-22T23:31:00.007-06:00

Making Smores on the fire pit in our backyard

Can Fisher fit anymore into that mouth?!

Grandma's Swing

2011-07-22T23:22:00.004-06:00

The boys LOVE Grandma's swing.

Justin (almost 4 years old)

Fisher (21 months)

Hunter (21 months)

Justin has swung in this swing for many years. This is him at 11 months old.

Thanks Grandma Clark for sharing your swing!

All Horse Parade

2011-07-22T23:06:00.004-06:00

We love to Celebrate the Lehi Round-Up. Thursday night is always the All Horse Parade. Anyone can ride in it; you just have to ride a horse. After the parade we have a BBQ at Tyler's mom's house.

Tyler and the boys

Jared, Sadie, Sydney & Justin sitting on the curb during the parade. As soon as the last horse passes you have to jump up and get out of the way or you are bound to get sprayed with the street sweeper cleaning up the horse poop! Yuck!

Justin loved the "baby horses" aka miniture horses.

My favorite was the Elders. They rode stick horses made from hockey sitcks. One even had a bike helmet on. It was a crack up.

Justin and his cousin, Brody, at the BBQ.

Fisher drank this entire can of soda pop. He was STICKY beyond belief!

Mattix and Cy

The kids eating on the blanket: Kennedy, Jared, Sydney, Sadie and Ali.

Sprinkler!

2011-07-22T23:01:00.004-06:00

This was the first sprinkler experience for Justin and Fisher. Justin stood back a ways and eventually would run through the side of the spray but never did run straight thru the middle. Fisher on the other had couldn't get enough of the water. He stood right in the middle of it and loved every second of it. However, the sandbox and wet boys don't mix well. That's according to mom; the boys didn't seem to mind all the sand sticking to them.

This was the begining of many more sprinkler days!

Christmas in June

2011-07-22T22:59:00.004-06:00

This June we really did have a bit of Christmas. Grandpa Scott and Grandma Sing gave the boys a tramp for Christmas and we finally set it up. Thanks Grandpa and Grandma!

Outdoor Summer Fun

2011-07-22T22:44:00.004-06:00

We have had so many fun days outside this summer. This particular day Tyler was working late and me and the boys went outside to ride bikes. We started with bikes and ended up at the neighbors. The kids played in the dirt and had lots of fun. When it was time to go home I had to take Fisher kicking and screaming.

Hunter does well riding in the big red car because there is a floor that we put in the car so he doesn't fall out. He does great until he tries to stand up in it. Now why doesn't this car have a seat belt?

Justin has learned to ride his bike really well. Fisher loves to try to ride Justin's bike too.

I love this picture of Fisher. His body language is screaming, "Yeah, I'm big."

Justin and his best buddy, Wyatt. (Justin was standing on a small dirt hill and Wyatt wasn't. Justin is taller than Wyatt but this picture is very deceiving.)

This is Kierra. Justin really enjoys playing with her too.

This summer has been so much fun!

Ponderosa Campground

2011-07-22T22:19:00.003-06:00

For Father's Day weekend this year we went camping. This is one of Tyler's favorite traditions to do with our family. This year we went to the Ponderosa Campground. It is in Nephi Canyon on the Nebo Scenic Loop. This is now our favorite campground to go to. It was so beautiful, clean and the kids had a blast.

This was the Gerber Family Campout this year. My parents, little brother Kjell and his wife, and my little sister and her family went with us. My older sister and her family stayed home this year and went to baseball games with their son; we missed them.

We rode bikes, went for walks, painted rocks, played with bubbles, walked Daisy, ate food, and did beads. Will made an awesome hammock out of kite string. The weather was great until the day we came home and it rained and rained on us.

Our family

Kristal & John's Family: John, Kristal, Soren, Will, Jason & Emmie

Mom and Dad

Kjell, Paige and Daisy

Fisher has really loved otter pops this summer. He does pretty good with them.

The kids painting rocks. Justin, Emmie, Jason and Soren.

Mom, Fisher and Hunter rockin the sunglasses.

This was our campsite. The tall trees made amazing shade.

The river was raging and it was right off our campsite. The edge of the cement pad where our picnic table was was a cliff down to the river. It was a bit scary for us. The kids did really well and stayed away. We decided that it was scary for them too so they weren't interested in being close to it.

Here is Will in his awesome hammock that he made from kite string!

Justin loves to paint rocks.

Kjell played with Hunter. Hunter was doing great pulling himself up to standing in the pack-n-play.

Fisher and Soren played with the trucks for a long time. They would roll them down the little asphalt slope by the picnic table. They were cute together.

Justin and Jason: best buddies.

We celebrated Father's Day the day we came home. The weather was crummy but we still had fun. This was one attempt of many to get a picture with the 3 boys and Dad.

The twins were so tired that they both fell asleep before we got out of the canyon!

Happy Father's Day Tyler! Until next year......

Self-Feeding

2011-07-15T16:30:00.002-06:00

Hunter is working on self-feeding. He is almost 21 months in this picture.

Yes, that is a Cheeto. Cheetos are good to start self-feeding because they are big enough to hold and easy to munch on and practically melt in your mouth. Its also easy on teething gums! Thanks to Gary (Hunter's OT) we are always trying new and crazy things to eat. The one I have the hardest with is beef jerky. Yeah, if you can believe it, Hunter's feeding therapy consists of munching on beef jerky. I'm still trying to decide if he likes it or not. So far the Cheetos are his favorite!

New Bike Helmet

2011-07-15T16:15:00.002-06:00

Tyler got Justin this new bike helmet. It is pretty cool. It comes down by his ears and protects his whole head. Tyler wanted to get one with a skull and cross bones but I had to be a little less fun and a little more practical so we went with the plain grey one. He does really good wearing it every time he rides his bike.

We had to measure his head so we could get the right size. True to Gerber fashion he has a large head for a kid his age. His head measure only 3 cm smaller than mine!

Ice Cream in the Van

2011-07-15T16:09:00.003-06:00

About 5 years ago I went to Salina to see my girlfriend (Tiff, this is for you). We were out bumming around and stopped to get my friends daughter and ice cream cone. My friend just wipped around and handed this ice cream cone to her almost 2 year old! I couldn't believe my eyes! That's when I said it, "I will NEVER give my child an ice cream in the carseat!" Yeah, that was before I had kids. Never say never! haha. Thanks Tiff for the little lesson in life! It is possible to survive ice cream drips down inside the buckles of the car seat!

Hunter is still working on self feeding so poor little guy didn't get his own. He got some tastes from big-brother-Justin! Thanks for sharing.

Fisher's Favorite Place

2011-07-15T16:04:00.004-06:00

Fisher loves his bottle on the couch. Whenever I make him a bottle he runs into the TV Room and jumps up on the couch. At bed time when he is done with his bottle he will run into the kitchen, throw the bottle in the sink and then runs downt he hall right to his bed. It is so amazing that he knows just what to do! He is the easiest child to put to bed...ever!

Sometimes he can get his leg in the funniest postions. He will sometimes put his foot up on his opposite knee like he is just kicking back!

Hunter's new favorite place

2011-07-15T15:52:00.002-06:00

Now that Hunter can crawl he has found a new favorite place. He crawls over to the front door and sits up on his knees so he can look out the sidelight. It is so stinking cute when he sits on his knees! And oh, how happy he is that he can crawl anywhere he wants to go!

Tuckered out

2011-07-15T15:49:00.003-06:00

Justin has played so hard this summer. I usually cant get him inside to take a break from the sun. I think that he knows if he does stop for even a second he might fall asleep! Oh, wouldn't it be fun to be a 3 (almost 4) year-old again!

City Parade

2011-07-15T15:11:00.003-06:00

The first week in June our city does a big week long city celebration. Towards the end of the week they do a large parade. I took the boys to the parade while Tyler stayed home and worked on the never-ending Honey-Do-List. With us gone he was able to accomplish alot! Thanks Tyler.

We were at the end of the parade route so we waited a long time for the parade to finally reach us. We had snacks and drinks to tide us over. The first thing in the parade were these guys shooting pistols. Fisher would have the forced fake laugh after every shot. It was hilarious!

We left before the parade was over...it was so hot! not to mention the twins were pushing their nap time.

Mom and the boys

Hunter had a good time as long as I tickled him.

Justin was quite the trooper. He was so excited to see the parade.

The boys entertained themselves with the stroller while we waited.

Green Park

2011-07-14T16:45:00.003-06:00

One of Justin's favorite things to do is go to the Green Park by our house. We have dubbed it the Green Park because that is the color of the big toy there. Fisher has quickly become a fan of any park that we go to. This was the first week in June when the sun finally decided to show itself this year.

Mom and Justin

Justin and Fisher love to load the steps with wood chips.

Hunter sat so good in the wagon playing with his little guitar. I felt bad that he didn't get to play much on the toys but this is sometimes how it is when I have to chase the speedball Fisher.

Fisher loves the slides. He is so brave and will try just about any slide no matter how tall it is. I am not a big fan of this activity yet.

Justin has mastered all the toys at the Green Park (with exception of the monkey bars). This one was his last.

The boys are getting so big and independant at the park.

Camping for Memorial Day

2011-07-14T16:35:00.003-06:00

I am way behind on blogging so this is the beginning of my attempt to catch up.

For Memorial Day this year we went camping at Strawberry Bay. When we booked the campsite in February we had no idea that it was going to be snowing for Memorial Day weekend.

Our friends Heather and Scott came with us. This was the first time we went camping together. The kids got along great. They rode bikes every minute the weather would allow them to. Justin's favorite activity was doing beads with the other kids. Doing beads consisted of stringing beads on a string and the tying off the end. Justin loved this and is now an activity we do at our house and one of our favorite camping activities.

We spent a lot of time in the truck going on rides. This is the view from our window.

I tried to get a picture of the 3 boys together. This is what I got:

Hunter is CRAWLING

2011-07-10T23:31:00.003-06:00

Hunter is CRAWLING on 4-point! He has been crawling since the beginning of June. He was about 20 1/2 months old when he hit this milestone. We are so happy for him.

Best of all, Hunter is so happy! Way to go Hunter!!

Rainbow Reservoir

2011-07-07T15:33:00.006-06:00

The first camp trip of the year was dubbed the Father & Son Fishing Trip (Tyler couldn not attend our ward's Father and Sons Campout). Tyler took Justin and went to Rainbow Reservoir with a friend from work and his son, Joe & Tallon. They caught fish, slept good and had fun.

Tallon and Joe

Justin and Tallon had twinner jammies.

I'm raising myself

2011-06-20T22:45:00.001-06:00

Justin loves frosting. I love frosting. Tyler says I am raising myself.

Justin made my bed

2011-06-20T22:42:00.003-06:00

One morning Justin informed me that he was making my bed today. The bed is like my little "must do" every morning. I have a certain way I like it and that is how I want it. But, Justin was so sweet to make it for me. Yes, I left it this way the entire day!

I live in a mess

2011-06-20T22:28:00.004-06:00

Julie this post is for you.

A long time ago I made this post. "My Big Break". Julie laughs at me all the time because I was so happy to clean my house rather than do soemthing else while all 3 kids were at tenders. This post is to assure you that I turely do live in a mess...especially under the stove.

I sweep everyday! The kids love the sandbox but it is a mess.

This is under the stove. No I did not sweep it out, I put the drawer back in. hehe. I will tackle under the stove and behind the fridge another day.

I live in a mess but I love my 3 little boys and boy do they create a mess each and every day! I love it.

Hunter Pulling to Stand

2011-06-20T22:22:00.004-06:00

At about 20 months old Hunter conquered pulling to stand. He loved the toy box that Tyler built for him. It is two rubber maid containers bolted together with a stack of books in the bottom container. The books make it heavy enough that when Hunter holds on the top edge he wont tip the toy box over. Hunter really took off with this. It only took him about 1 day to get from tall knees to standing. We were so happy! One of Hunter's goals by 24 months is to pull to stand and start cruising furniture. This is a huge milestone for Hunter!

Hooray for Hunter!!

Boys LOVE the sand

2011-05-21T00:16:00.003-06:00

Justin absolutely loves playing in the sand. His favorite sand buddy is his best friend Wyatt.

The other day Justin wanted to take his baby diggers (matchbox diggers) out to the sand box. I told him that once toys go in the sand box they cant come out. He responded, "Yes they can. I will just drive them out backwards." Ha, I love the mind of little boys. I meant that they couldnt come into the house cause they would be full of sand.

Mother's Day

2011-05-21T00:09:00.005-06:00

I had a wonderful mother's day this year. Tyler and the boys got me another pedicure (repeat from my birthday). I am so excited to use it.

I am so blessed to be a mom to 3 wonderful boys. I remember how sad I was on Mother's Day when we were trying so hard to get pregnant. Now I have these 3 little boys that are the joy of my life. I have learned so much from being a mom.

Mom and Justin

Mom and Fisher

Mom and Hunter

Thanks boys for letting me experience motherhood. I love you guys!

Maybe in a few years we can attempt a picture with all of you in it. Right now that seems impossible! hehe

He sleeps!

2011-05-21T00:03:00.002-06:00

Hunter sleeps! Finally we are close to getting him to sleep through the night. It has been a wild ride trying to get Hunter to sleep. He likes to be held until he is asleep and then ever so gently laid in bed. Some nights he was waking up for hours at a time. Some nights he would play happily and other nights he would scream the whole time. Typically he was up about 2 hours right in the middle of the night. We have resorted to letting him cry it out. When he wakes up we feed him and then put him in the pack-n-play in the TV room and let him cry-it-out. Some nights are long and others not too bad. We are now to the point that he cries for less than 30 minutes. I just lay on the couch and some nights I fall asleep before he does. The up for hours at a time was killing us. Now we see the light at the end of the sleep tunnel and feel like we are on the right track. Keep up the good work Hunter. We love you!

Fisher is Mr. Busy

2011-05-20T23:54:00.005-06:00

Fisher keeps me on my toes because he is Mr. Busy himself. He is never content with the same thing for very long, he just moves from one mess to the next.

He climbs on the counter tops,

he wears his dinner,

he climbs on toys to get whatever his little eye spys,

but when bed time nears he does slow down just a bit (it helps if Mickey Mouse Clubhouse is on the TV)

and when Mr. Busy falls asleep his is a sweet angel. awe, at last he has stopped moving.

I just love my Fisher babe. He was sent to our fmily straight from Heaven!
