These two are so funny

Visitation seems to get better with each visit.  Both boys are excited to see me.  Beck usually says, "Daddy I was waiting for you in the window."  They pick where we are going to go.  Which usually ends up being McDonalds in East Bay or McDonalds in Spanish Fork for about an hour.  They only eat apple slices and drink Sprite.  They mostly want to play in the play land.  Then they say they want to go to "Daddy house"

While we were out at McDonald's, Beck came and sat down next to me and wanted his drink.  I gave it to him and then started rubbing his back.  Beck puts his drink down, turns and uses both his hands to take my hand and place it on the chair back behind him.  He then turned back around and started drinking his drink again.  Apparently he didn't want affection at that time.  Killian loves me to rub his back or belly or shoulder anytime.  Two very different children.   Killian ran up to another guy wearing jeans and grabbed the napkin out of the guys hand.  I shouted over to Killian, hey I'm over here.  Killian looks at me.  I said that's the wrong Daddy.  Killian throws the napkin at the guy and runs and jumps into my arms.  When I lift him up he is laughing, and he says, " that the wrong Daddy".  Later we ran into the guy again and Killian pointed again, "there the wrong Daddy".

Killian came up with a game where I had to follow the two of them around picking up the balls that shot out of Thomas the Train.  To him the balls were "gas" for Thomas to go.  The typical conversation each time he ran out would go as follows...
Killian:  Oh no, I'm out of gas
Me:  Oh no, I give you gas
Killian:  (After we had filled it up with balls) Thank you gasser helper!
And we would drive away.  I would laugh every time. 

Another game that the boys now really like is laying in the inflatable pool I have for them.  They pretend to be asleep.  I then swing the pool around with them inside it until they flip out or crash into one another.  They really like that game.  I get really dizzy and fall over a lot while playing it.

Me:  Come here and let me change your diaper.
Beck:  I didn't poop.
Me:  I need to change it so it stays dry.
*Daddy changes said diaper and does a terrible job apparently*
Beck:  My diaper hurts me.  (grabs his bum)
Daddy:  Okay, lay back down and I will fix it
*Daddy changes said diaper again*
Me:  Is that better?
Beck:  Yeah.  My diaper was on wonky.  It's okay now.

Beck:  There's the mall
Me:  Yep, that's the mall
Beck:  You can't come with us there Daddy
Me:  How come Daddy can't come with you?  (starting to get offended)
Beck:  Cause you are at work!  Silly Daddy

We played so hard this time that I was actually sweating from trying to swing two boys around for three hours.  It made my day!  I'll post some pictures and video of our adventure.

Another game of try and not let Daddy put our socks on

We were playing tug O war with Killian in the pool.  Beck lost.

Daddy way too dizzy, fell down

Killian being a tough guy.  Pulling me down to his level.

Yay two visits in a row

Beck came down the walkway this morning with his face buried in his blanket.  My heart sank thinking this was going to be a rough visitation day (Beck hides his face when he is trying to shut you out).  When I got close, Beck pulled the blanket down and roared like a dinosaur and then smiled.  Yay, it was going to be a good day.  Things the last two visits have gone really well.  Both boys ask if they can come back to play later when I tell them it's time to go.  Beck still has moments where he wants to be left alone and goes to a room to play by himself.  Eventually, he comes back to join the group.  I try to give him his space during this time, although it is really hard to not play with him during this time when I know that I have precious few hours with him.   The boys have stopped eating anything when they are with me.  We now are too busy playing monsters, or wrestling, or Daddy chase me games to eat.  I haven't even had time to take pictures we are playing so much.  It is painful to me to miss some of the photo ops.  But I would rather be very present with them, rather than behind the camera.  Beck decided he wanted to take a nap I guess, so he took his ride on Thomas and lifted it into the inflatable pool filled with styrofoam blocks.  Got himself comfortable and put his arm around Thomas.  Really wish I would have taken a picture of that.  At least things are improving and I don't feel like I have to try so hard to get Beck to come over.

Funny conversations...

Daddy: Killian, did you poop?  Let me check your diaper.
Killian:  Any poop?
Daddy: Nope.  No poop.
Killian:  That is 'cause the poop is still in my butt.

Beck (later after we get in the truck to go home):  Ewww.  It stinks in here.
Daddy:  It does?  What does it smell like?
Beck: Killian's poop.

Beck:  My sucker is blue like Thomas
Killian: My sucker is red like Thomas
Beck: Thomas is not red.  He is blue.
Killian: My sucker is brown like Thomas

Beck: Daddy I wanna do stickers
Daddy (gets out sticker book):  Which sticker do you want?
Beck: I want the Brachiosaurus
Daddy: The what?
Beck: That one (points)
He's not three yet.  Guess I need to further my education to I can do stickers with the two year old.

Video of Killian

I love movies

I'm not sure if these are as fun for the general public as they are for me.  But it's my blog and I can do what I want.  The rest of you can skip down to the pictures if you like. They are my boys and I think everything they do is brilliant and blog worthy.  I would probably upload a four video of them sleeping.


This is the game I was telling you about in the Christmas post.

The boys are constantly in motion...

This is about how long of a rest they take.  Beck gets so tired he just falls down and then lays there, but not for long...

Christmas Time

I figured I would end up with only one boy on Christmas.  When Beck runs away from me like he did on the 24th, he usually doesn't come back for days.  Madame X sent me a text saying Beck didn't want to come.  So I brought a present with me to try and bribe him out of the house.  When I got there, Madame X started motioning me back towards the truck.  Killian was running around my feet saying "dat pwesent fo me?"  I said no, yours is in the truck.  This is for Beck.  Killian said okay okay okay okay okay, while jumping up and down in one place.  I sure wish I had their energy.  Beck used my knees as steps into the truck and acted like nothing was wrong.  He did ask if we were going to go open presents for him. 
Ordinarily, Beck likes to ride his quad in the grass before going into the house.  Today he was present driven.  He walked straight to the back door.  Then straight downstairs without waiting for anyone.  Beck then walked directly to the tree and picked out the biggest present.  Lugged it out from under the tree, looked at me and said, "This a biggie present, I can open?"  I said it was a present for him and to open it.  He started tearing long pieces off the present.  It took him forever to get all the paper off it.  Killian went straight for the unwrapped books under the tree.  He didn't really seem interested in opening the presents.  They ran and ran and ran to play with each new toy.  I made the mistake of buying something for them that took about four million pounds of air to blow up.  I was rather light headed by the time we got that one up and going.  Christmas ended up being a success.  My favorite game ended up being one where Killian turned the light off and ran away.  Beck would then turn the light on and run away.  I love games where I can be a spectator.  I'll upload video of that game later.  Beck has been coming with me for all our scheduled play times ever since.  I might be softening towards Christmas after all.  It was so much fun to watch them open one present and then want that one present put together, when in fact, there were still presents to be opened under the tree.  It warmed my heart.  Yes, all you naysayers, I do have a heart.

What are you looking at?  You wanna piece of me?

Nobody talks to us that way.  Get him!
