Top Row (L->R): I found the twirls in their room just reading together, I found Jaide playing fireman with a fire hat and saying, "whee whoo!", the girls were supposed to be in their seats when I came outside they were in the front row pretending to be big people, I love these "Forget Princess, I want to be an Engineer" shirts that Aunt Jami found
Middle Row (L->R): Scarlett before a wings b-day pty, Scarlett feeding her baby (and Siena loving it), the girls were loving these boxes - what is it with boxes?, Siena and Jaide are animals on the trampoline now! They love to have their soft puppies aka "gagas" in with them
Bottom Row (L->R): These girls love to snuggle together, the penalty box got transformed into a puppy kennel, just relaxing and acting all cool, Jaide loves to be the first one out of the shower so she can sit alone in our bed and watch the show all by herself
The twirls really look alike. I know that they are identical, but sometimes it catches me off guard. Especially when they sound alike - usually I can tell their voices apart but lately they have tricked me more and more. The most difficult time to tell them apart is when they are running away from you after doing something naughty. If we can't tell who is running away from us Jake will yell "Siena-Jaide stop that"! (just covering his bases).
I zipped the girls' puppies in their jammies one night and they thought that was the coolest idea ever!
This year I decided not to put Scarlett in the ward preschool group. The group is mostly 3 year olds and - honestly - I just didn't feel up to teaching while pregnant. Instead I signed her up for all these little classes at the Summit (our rec center). First was 2 weeks of a Fairy class, then 2 weeks of Superhero Training, right now it's 3 weeks of STEM. She will have a science rotation, sport rotation, and I can't remember the others. She loves it. My only complaint is that I have to load up the girls, and unload them to drop her off and pick her up for only a 90 min class. It's not really long enough to do anything at home. But she's loving it and the ladies are great! She got "fairy dust" to sprinkle in our lawn to help the fairies come visit. And in her superhero class she got to do "training" exercises. They have such cute ideas! For STEM they did the 3 little pigs and built different structures with different materials. Then the "big bad wolf" came to test them - it was a hair dryer disguised.
Scarlett was sick so I gave her some meds one night. She asked "Does it have chemicals that will save the day?" :-)
Lately I've had trouble sleeping - luckily it's not every night, but often enough to be annoying. Ah the joys of pregnancy. Well, you should know that Jake NEVER talks in his sleep. But one of these sleepless nights I heard him say "Yes mister, popped a wheelie smoke" it was hilarious! I especially love that he was dreaming about popping a wheelie! That's my Jakey!!!
Jake is full of fun adventures. He will play with the girls inside, but he's always looking for ways to get them outdoors. I found them outside on a bike ride one day when I was driving home. And Jake sent me this photo of Scarlett on a dirt trail they drove to. So much fun with dad!
The girls have been wearing their Rosie the Riveter boots to church lately and I just want to eat them up!! They are so dang cute!!! Also, I have decided that I am single-handedly going to bring back the Jody dress. I found my 2 old dresses in my closet and I realized that old lady floral print is back in style, so I've been rocking them. They are the perfect solution to this awkward "chubby pooch" phase of my pregnancy!
One day in Sacrament Meeting someone read the scripture "though your sins be as scarlet" and Scarlett perked right up "they said my name!" uh.... well, technically yes... not really what I wish to associate with her name. But at least we didn't name her Satan or something like that!
My friend Emily is the primary chorister. Twice she has texted me after church to tell me a story about my girls. Here are her texts:

The twirls like to jump in their cribs at bedtime if they're not tired. One night we heard them yelling something at us - we looked on the camera and could tell something was off. We went in their room and found Siena's crib had busted! Jake said he could see old glue like it had been broken before. Luckily Siena had no problem sleeping in the pack-and-play that night. Jake found a cool carbon fiber tape to repair it called "Fiber Fix" that was invented by some BYU kids. It worked great!

"The twirls were absolutely cracking me up today!!! I was passing out our sun sticks for singing Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam. And Jaide got hers and said "pretty!" and then Siena was DYING for one!!! She was yelling PEAS PEAS!!!! Then they led the nursery in a very fun dance-a-thon as we sang. I was loving life. They would yell "BEAM" really loud. You have the cutest kiddos!!!"
"Today in singing time we practiced our songs for the program. We also practiced sitting and standing and Scarlett proclaimed "the program is hard!! My legs are tired." hahaha And then I told her she could sit down if she wants. And she says "I just want to sit down and eat a piece of chocolate cake!!!" hahahaha!!"

I support Scarlett in her primary sentiments.
Two thumbs up for chocolate cake!
Those boots are adorable!!
I still laugh when I think that the telescope had been at our house all those years and we never knew it was here and when we did see it we had no idea it was Jake's, but thought it was Amy's. Ha ha ha We would have sent it to you sooner.
You rock the Jody dress!!
There are so many cute pictures in this post.
