We went to Twin Falls Idaho for Thanksgiving this year to spend it with Grandma and Grandpa Browning. There were 19 of us. 6 children ages 3 and under! It was quite a houseful. It was so fun watching all the babies interact with each other. There were some battles over toys, some hitting, knocking over, and some biting...along with a few lessons in sharing. But there were more loves, and hugs, and kisses. They actually all played really well with each other.
Our babies slept really well compared to last time we were there. Last Christmas we took them when they were almost 3 mo old. They didn't sleep at all and I was exhausted and hysterically crying that I was a horrible mom because my children wouldn't sleep. This time they woke up a few times being in unfamiliar surroundings, but it could have been a lot worse.
I cleaned out my closet before we left and brought up 4 hefty bags of clothes for the girls to go through. It saved me a trip to the DI and now I have a clean closet.
Thank you Dad and Carolyn for hosting all of us in your home for Thanksgiving this year. We had so much fun being with family. Your home is so warm, and welcoming. I am sure you are happy to have the place to yourselves again!
Here are some fun pictures from our trip.
We have so much to be thankful for this year. We are so thankful for eachother, our cute twins, our health, and our family. Hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving! We sure did!

We made this website as a journal of our experience raising twins. Also, as something fun to look back on as how far our preemies have come and what their milestones are. We want to be able to look back and see their weights, and watch them grow. It's fun to see what trouble they get into, what they like and dislike how their personalities change and grow, and how they interact with eachother as twins.
We have parents and family out of state that don't get to see us too often and like to have a way for them to keep up with our family and see what we are up to. We have met other mothers of multiples along the way and like to be able to have a way to check in with eachother. We have friends and friends of friends, past co workers, and i'm sure a few strangers that know about this site and when we run into them always hear them say "We love watching your babies grow on webstertwins.com."
I am always surprised at how many people check out our website. I remember one day we were at a restaurant and a complete stranger came over to us and said "are you Jessica, and Jason, and Jaxon and Josselyn? I am a friend of your cousins and I love looking at your blog!" I think it is so cute and am flattered that our silly stories and pictures can keep you entertained enough to come back for more!
I have a little blog counter that gives me an idea of how many people look at our blog daily, and the website gives me a stat counter that goes up well over 100 hits a day sometimes. It doesn't tell me who you are, just that our page has been viewed. I know people like to remain annonomys. I personally love to snoop and blog stock other peoples websites and rarely leave comments. But, I want to know who is out there. So, come out, come out, wherever you are and let me know who you are. I would love you to say hiI!! Come out from hiding, leave us a comment (just this once) and let us know that you check out our blog.
Thanks for visiting!!!

 

This is what happens when we hear the garage door open. The babies and Morgan sit by the door and wait for daddy to come home!

Yes, she is biting my lip.

Swinging Jax around

Upside down

P.S. No, she didn't get hurt when she bonked her head:)

I don't want Jax and Joss to always feel like our attention is divided between them. So Jason and I plan on having special days where we each take one child on a little outing with us. Yesterday I took Joss with me to a baby shower, then to a boutique open house where Auntie Jenny had a booth. We had a fun Mommy/Daughter day and I could tell even at this young age how  much it meant to Joss to have all the attention on her. She got to be held whenever she wanted without having to share. Next time will be Jax's turn.

I entered the babies Halloween picture into a contest on the radio station 97.1ZHT's website. They are #67. Go to www.971zht.com  Then click "Vote Now" and click # 67. Then type in your email address. If they win they get 500.00 :)
The JackO Cuties pictures are hard to find but if you want to see the actual picture you can CLICK HERE.

Look, a shopping car made just for twins! They loved driving us around and honking the little horn when other customers were in our way!

Jossy in her new, big girl, ride-facing-forward seat! It is a whole new world out there. She was in awe staring out the window at everything as we passed by. Jaxon is still too small for his big boy seat. I think he is jealous of his sister. But at least they can face eachother now.

They love playing in this new tent I got them from Ikea. They even took a nap in there yesterday!

Grammy Deary bought a Noah's Arc toy for the kids to play with when they go to Grammys house. She is starting a "Grammy's toy box" Such a good idea! They loved it! And actually shared pretty well. Thanks Grammy!

Today we had a Mom's outing with the girls from my ward. We went to the Living Planet Aquarium. The babies loved looking at all the fishies. They especially liked the shark tank. The sharks would swim right up to the glass and the twins would get so excited!

 Just this week he started really exploring the world of walking while not holding on to something. He is doing awesome. I am so proud of my little boy. I don't want Joss to learn to walk yet, I still have to have 1 baby. I am not ready for them to grow up yet. I don't know if I can handle two toddlers!!!
