Funny Boys

Jonah has developed quite a cute and funny personality over his first 2.5 years of life.  We were driving in the car and Jonah said “We need to go to the store MOOMMMMMYYY!”  Ashley said, “Okay JOOONNNAAHH!”  Jonah then said, “say sorry Mommy.” 

He loves to say that he is going to tickle someone’s guts.  “I tickle your guts!” He then proceeds to do it.

He claims that everyone is his.  “Mine Mommy!” or “Mine Wyatt” or “Mine Trevy” or “Mine Ady”

He regularly asks if he can have a Slurpee.  Thanks for the free Slurpee day 7-11, as if you didn’t know how addictive these can become to a 2 year old!

If Wyatt is awake before Jonah, and cuddling in our bed, Jonah will excitedly say, “HI WYATT!”  He then will pull himself up into our bed and at the last second hold Wyatt’s hand at the wrist.  He will then grunt, and come over closer to Wyatt and say “Thank you Wyatt, pulling me up, thank you Wyatt!” as if his 7 month old brother had done all the work while Jonah was dangling perilously from a cliff with his life flashing before his eyes.

 

Last week in the twins’ Primary class they were talking about service.  When the teacher asked about service, Treven must have misheard her.  He teasingly said, “Sacrifice?  Ah, you can have my sister.”  The teachers said, “No Treven what act of service could you do?”  Treven then responded, “Probably hug my sister.”  When Ady retold the events to us later she said, “Apparently my brother wants to hug me…right after he sacrifices me!”

First Surgery for Wyatt

 

Today Wyatt had the first of what will likely be many surgeries.  It is amazing to me that the first time I ever had any kind of surgery or procedure involving anesthesia was when I was 30, and this little guy is having surgery at 6 months.  As with everything else, Wyatt was an amazing little trooper.  He took a while to wake up, but otherwise was fine.  The surgery went very well and we are so grateful for the excellent care that we constantly receive at Primary Children’s.  We are so blessed to have this hospital and its skilled doctors right in our backyard.   We know that the Lord is constantly watching over us.  We are so grateful for Wyatt and for the way the Lord has blessed him through the prayers of so many.  The Lord performs miracles around us each and every day if we only stop to see them.

Big Brother

Treven is such a great big brother.  He is so willing to help his little brothers and his little (by one minute) sister.  He is always willing to comfort or help Ady when she is sad.  He helps and plays with Jonah and Wyatt.  He will come over to one of them in a quiet moment when they are all alone and spend time with them, or he will get them running all over the place and excited.  He really loves to help them, to teach them, and to play with them.  Jonah especially cannot wait until Treven and Ady come back.  The boys have started sharing bunk beds and Jonah reminds us each night that Treven’s bed is above his.  These two little boys really look up to their big brother Trev.
