a year over due!!!

I am surrounded in a pig sty, my house is starting to fill with boxes and dejunking everywhere.  But I just wanted to take a couple minutes for journal purposes to jot down some of my thoughts about my boys! I keep thinking about everything I am forgetting about each stage of their life and it makes me sad.  The things they say, the things that happen to them, how they grow, how they change.... its happening way to fast.

Carter-
Holy Smokes! You are one little character! We are soo head over hills for you it isn't even funny! You are such a crack up.  Sometimes I call you the "Little Orange Guy" Because George always corrects that you don't have red hair you have "Orange" Hair, and you are already growing so fast! You are my little talker.  Sunday George was practicing his talk for primary, and you said "MY TURN NOW!" Sure enough you proceeded to give an entire talk about prophets.  I told Jed the other day I wanted to video you saying prayers.  It melts my heart.  You are the cutest little freckle faced firecracker.  Dad is completely wrapped around your finger, and you know it.  You give the best cuddles ever! You usually wake up at like 640 and sneak into are bed for some morning cuddles.  We love it and look forward to it every single morning.  You are a tease.  George is always saying, "Mom, Carter is teasing me!" I can't believe at such a young age what a sense of humor you already have.  Every where I go everyone comments on how darling you are.  One of your favorite games is saying "I am a Mommys Boy!," or "I am a Daddys Boy!"  You say it and love to look for the reaction of the other person as we say "WHAT???? NO WAY!" You are talking in full sentences these days.  You love being outside.  You will work side by side with your Daddy all day long just to be with him and be busy exploring everything!!! You love cheese... you sneak big bags of shredded cheese and go dump it in a corner and then proceed to eat it like a Dog! You adore HORSES! everything is about being bucked off, one more ride daddy, one more ride?? You and George are best buddies.. You guys wrestle way too much. I am trying to learn how to deal with it and am constantly asking you guys to quit.  You two love it though as crazy as it drives me.  Giggling the entire time.  You two really have become such great friends it makes me so excited for what the future holds for you guys and I am so glad you too have each other.  Preparing for our move to Michigan makes me so grateful I have our little family.  That we have eachother, and that we have the Gospel in our lives.  Everything is a little easier, when you have people you love to do it with.   IF i could freeze time right now I would.  You melt my heart in every single way, and I thank Heavenly Father every day for sending me you.  He knows exactly what we needed here in our home.  I love you to the moon and back buddy! XOXO Mom

George-
You are my little boy! I just  can't believe you are getting soo old! Where has time gone?  We always call you the "WHY GUY" cause you manage to ask 1000's of Why questions every single day.  Why did you touch that? Why are you doing that? Why did you say that? What? How come? How does this work?  You are super duper interested and fascinated in everything.  You remember every single thing you ever hear (we have to be careful) ! You are a little dancer.  You are always dancing crazy, and saying, "Dance with me MOM!"  You are such a little character.  You love electronics and can manuever my iphone almost better than me.  You are such a flirt with girls. You have a major crush on all the darling Ethington girls in the ward. I am just happy to see you have good taste :)  They love you to.  You lift your eyebrows everytime you see them, how you learned this mumbo jumbo I do not know.  What I do know is how loveable you are.  Every time I have to discipline you I can see in your face that you never did mean to disappoint me.  You are just a typical 4 year old out exploring the world :) you are a tender heart.  We took Ginger to the Vet for surgery and you couldn't relax all day.  You kept wondering when we could go get him. you were so excited to go pick her up and she that she was going to be okay.  You love and adore your little cousins.  You love having sleepovers, and having them over to play.  you are a social butterfly with a HUGE imagination.  You are always talking to yourself. You love your little brother carter.  You one day said, "Hey Mom, I know why we call Carter  our Carter BUG, it's cause he always BUGS us huh?!?! "  I always said it as a term of endearment, but now when you say it I have to question your motives :) I don't know how in the world I was so blessed to have been sent you 2 boys.  You are my everything.  I love that I see a little bit of your Dad in both of you.  I love your Dad so much.  You have such a good attitude about moving although we talk about it all the time.  You are so excited for your cousins and family to come out and see you in MIchigan.  George, I hope you never forget how much your parents love and adore you, as well as your sweet Brother Carter.  You 2 are so lucky to have each other I hope you always treasure that relationship with one another.  LOVE YOU to the moon and back, MOM
