Russ never falls asleep anywhere except in his crib, except for Sundays. We our usually walking the halls on Sundays with Russ, since our church time falls smack dab in the middle of nap time.

So one of us will take him home and put him down for a nap(because their is no point in walking the halls with a crying baby), But when it is Cj's Turn, he likes to come home and play with him, which is nice for me because than when i make it home I get to enjoy a full nap time. But sometimes he doesn't make it and he take a twenty minute nap on the couch.

Twenty minute nap= a very cranky Russell and a very long Sunday Afternoon.


It doesn't happen every Sunday! Thankfully because, twenty minute naps on the couch doesn't cut it.

But it does make for some very SWEET pictures.

So, Last night I walk in to check on the boys to make sure they are sleeping peacefully, because that is what mothers do, right.

This is what I walked in and found. It was pretty funny so I had to share.

The other night he did the same thing. When he woke up the next day he was all excited because he thought it was so cool that the boxed moved with him every time he moved, and stayed on his head all night.

So when I walked in and the box was on his head yet again I had to document it.

I wonder if it is going to be an everynight occurrence? I will keep you posted.

Thanks, talk to you soon

Whenever the camera comes out Russell comes a runnin!!

Today when I brought my camera out to down load the pictures of Parker sleeping last night on to my computer. Russell was right their on my lap, he cam out of know where.

I'm just kidding, I did see him come and plop himself on my lap. But the camera must make some noise that I don't hear that he can.

So of course I took some pictures, here's the result(i love having a kid that likes the camera).

Every time I told him to turn he would and every time I told him to look he would. He is a very good listener.

Love,
Jessica

This past week we have been fighting colds and sicknesses. Parker had it the worst than Russ, and Today JP wakes up and says that he still feels really sick. So I let him stay home to rest and get better. So I had him hear and I took advantage of it, and took a few pictures today.

Today was Pillow pets, blankets and the couch day. It was very relaxing and hopefully enough rest to get the boys Healthy.

So I took some pictures and thought I would list all the amazing things that I love about each of my boys.

Blast from the Past

The other day I was going through some old photos and came across these wonderful photos. I had thought Russell was my climber, but apparently J.P and Parker were also. Time has made me forget a few things.

I thought I would share these photos from my vault from 2007. It made me smile:)

Parker's hair was so long and Curly, I wish it was still that curly

The Sounds that make Olive lane

The Soundtrack of Olive lane.

1. Cop Sirens

2. And sometimes paired with a High speed chase right outside my front door
(i am just thankful the boys were at school when that chase was going on).
It really did happen on the 2Nd week we were hear. It was very exciting

3. Spanish music blaring out of the cars that drive by

Parker: "Uh I really hate that music" every time a car drives by. Its pretty funny.

4.Spanish preacher, preaching at the local super market. ( could here it from my house and the supermarket is 4 or 5 blocks away, he was screaming!!!)

5.During the Christmas season you could hear the performances going on at the Temple from my house, It was really cool and peace full.

6. And last but not least is the bike horn (below)





Coming from this bike. (below)

They ride around all hours of the day through our neighborhood making that Honking noise. They sale Ice cream and who knows what else, maybe Tamales I have never stopped one to see. The boys have tried, They always get them to turn around come towards them, probably getting them excited for a sale, when I walk out shaking my head no. Their face falls and they turn probably cursing the boys all the way to their next target.

That Honking has been ingrained into my head and will always remind me of olive lane, when eventually we move on from this part of our lives.

(yes I blurred his face, one can never be to careful. I do live in the Ghetto)
