Clones??? Triplets??? Or just plain Family???

When I first asked Jackson, who the pictures were of he pointed to Rachel, and said Rachel, and then told me the other two were both of Landon..and then he pointed to the one of himself eating cake and said "Wandon really likes chocolate cake silly-boy" Even Jackson thought they were both Landon!

I have been told quite a bit recently, how much my boys look alike! It would seem that everyone who lays eyes on Landon, can't help but comment on how much he looks like Jackson! I have thought that yes, they do look similar, but never have I been more convinced of this phenomenon then when I was going through old photo's of Jacks, and thinking that it could have been Landon! The first photo is of Rachel at one years old! The photo on the left is of Jackson at exactly one year old! The photo on the right is of Landon this morning! I was also taken aback, when looking at this photo of Rachel, it would appear, that we have just cloned Jackson, and Rachel and had a mix of both six years later! Does this mean, that when Landon turns three, I will have a little terror on my hands??? I don't know, Landon's personality seems to be following in line a little more with Rachel's. Don't get me wrong, he is truly an easy baby, as was Jackson, but he is a little more stubborn than Jackson was at this age...case in point, when taking away (hypothetically) lets say the remote, he has a little bit of a hissy fit, whereas JackJack at this age was incredibly laid back, and just sat and watched, and cared nothing about the fact that Rachel was taking everything and anything away! Jackson however in turn has become quite a naughty three year-old, just testing exactly how much patience mom has and how much he can push her until her head might just possibly explode! Ever since Jackson was about 6 months old we coined the term JackJack, and have pretty much called him that ever since! When he was two and we moved into our new ward, the nursery leader asked him "what's your name" he immediately replied JackJack! We always thought he kind of looked like JackJack from the incredibles, minus the craziness! The craziness came out in him when he turned three! He truly is JackJack, without the levitation, but the fireball is definitely his personality!

This is Rachel, and Landon a couple of days ago!
Rachel was a rather easy three-year, and has been pretty content on just being incredibly stubborn (I wonder where she gets this???) and somewhat emotionally charged, she has learned not to push mommy, as she does not want to see mommy's head explode, and she has compassion on me, because she knows exactly what Jackson is capable of on a daily basis! I will say that I think she has mastered the selective hearing quite well lately... "Rachel clean your room!" Two hours later "Rachel why is your room not clean?" "I don't know"...what is this response??

You cannot tell me that this picture of Jackson at 10 months does not look exactly like Landon right now!

You can expect for baby number 4 (disclaimer: I am NOT pregnant) to probably look like the rest of the stott babies! Which I might add is SUPER Cute! Since it would seem that we tend to be clonies at our house, but maybe you don't think so...

Or could it possibly be, that I have three clones, I just had one be a little girly, and at least have the dark features, that I have always dreamed of, and completely fell in love with on my husband! The three of them are definitely little look alikes, but their personalities are completely different, and I love everything about each one of them, even when I feel my head exploding!

You are right! They all look a lot alike. I wonder what you and Dan looked like as babies. Do you have any pictures? Wouldn't it be crazy if they all looked like clones of one of you. Cute pictures. They look so sweet, completely incapable of any mommy head exploding plans. :)

You definitely do know how to duplicate cute kids over and over again. The sephia picture of Rachel and Landon is so cute!

Add me to the list of people who have said Landon looks just like Jackson. It is true. In fact, I saw that sepia picture and I thought it was Jackson. I may never get the two of them straight. :) Your kids are all super adorable and if there were going to clones of any children, they'd be a good pick.
By the way, what is this job Michelle speaks of?? Have you been holding out on me? Spill it!

I am going to go and work for my dad 8 hours a month...so it's not like a big deal..it's just two 4hour thursdays a month, starting this thursday from 8-12 in the morning, be careful, or you could be the next person, I call for babysitting duties (let me tell you the pay is not great)!

I love your kids!!! How cute are they?!? I bet you will like the break for 8 hours a month! I need a girls night/lunch/anything--a break would be nice--Oh, and anytime you need an emergency babysitter--i'll be here!

I have to agree, your kids are super cute! Audrey is just hitting the 'terrible threes' right now. I'm so sad! Hopefully Landon will go easy on you. Funny you should mention the cleaning up thing...my head DID just explode when I saw our playroom a while ago.
