Justin loves to play

Justin loves doing fun things. He loves going to Kangaroo Zoo with some of his friends. He loves to go on the big big slides. Here he is climbing up the biggest slide int he whole place...
And of course he loves going down.

One day me and the boys met Tyler at Cabella's for lunch. Tyler and Justin played the hunting arcade. I think Tyler had more fun than Justin.

Tyler can't wait until the twins are a little older so he can take his boys and do man things. I cant wait either!

When its your own kids

Yesterday while at my sister's house, Fisher did the monster poop of all time. You know the kind that goes clear up the back . . . . and onto the floor!! Yeah, thats right, he pooped and it came clear out onto the floor. Good thing he was sitting on a rug that went right into the washer.

oh, I dont want to forget the funniest thing of all this is that my sister's daughter, Emmie, was so excited to tell Grandma Sing something that she was jumping up and down and jumped right into the poop and then stepped onto the carpet!

I guess when it's your own kids (or your sister's kid) you can laugh about something like this. Thanks Kris for understanding.

Congrats to my little brother!

Kjell and Paige are engaged! We are so happy and excited for them!

This is how my conversation with Justin went:

Mom: "Justin, Kjell and Paige are getting married."

Justin: "Huh. " long pause "Why doesn't Grandpa and Grandma get married?"

Little kids are so funny!

Medical Milestones

Hunter has reached some medical milestones. First, the eye doctor thinks his eyes are going to be fine. We were worried about a cross/lazy eye. Second, he has been off Prevacid (helps with acid reflux) for a week now and seems to be doing well. He has also hit the 15 lb mark.

Each day he seems to be more happy! Horray for our little guy!

It's official, I'm a loser

The Gerber Family biggest loser contest is over. I won! I lost 36.7 lbs and 17 inches in three months. My sister Kristal gave me a run for my money. Tyler came in a close third, losing 23.9 lbs and 11 inches. In total, everyone lost 120.5 lbs all together.

I'm not done. More to go.

I am busy but I love being a mom and I love my boys. Things continue to get easier. Thanks to Tyler's mom who comes to help me with the twins so I can go to the grocery store and spend one-on-one time with Justin. Thanks to her we have clean clothes to wear. I am sure she folds more laundry around here than I do.

Next week the routine is sure to change.

How is it possible?

Everyone wants to know how it's possible for Fisher to weigh 6 lbs more than Hunter. This is how.......

I think the saying goes something like this..."You are what you eat." It boils down to one thing, Fisher is a better eater.
