Christmas

We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year! I am just going to post pictures of Christmas rather than get into the details of it all except for a few lines with pictures.

Opening presents with Pop pop and Grandma
Aidan and his Castle Lego set
Adley and his Castle lego set - the boys sure have a fun time 'battling each other'.
Letter to Santa - it was quite creative. Santa had to find the parts of the picture that didn't belong... can you find anything?
Eli and his fruit - he loves this along with his pots and pans - I see a play kitchen in his future!
Marble run!
Doesn't he look like such a big boy in this picture. He is starting to use his walker to get around. Maybe by his 1st birthday he'll be walking on his own!
Eating the present is so much better than playing with it! He now has 8 teeth!
Kids playing video games at Pop pop and Grandmas
Crazy boys - thank you Daddy!

We are still enduring a lot of cold weather in our part of the country. I'm wishing we had a winter home in Arizona because that seems to be the only part of the country that is above freezing lately. We had 1 day (yes, only 1 since the 18th of December) above freezing and it felt like a heat wave. We still have a ton of snow around our house which is basically just a big chunk of ice now. It's not really fun to play in and I'm tired of looking at it. Spring can't come soon enough for me!

Dollywood

Liam's first time on River Rampage - he got drenched but loved every minute of it! Doesn't he look so small! We wanted to do one last fun summer trip for the boys before school starts this Thursday. We took a day trip to Dollywood. We got there a little after the park opened and it was not very crowded at all. We walked on almost every ride and if we had to wait it wasn't longer than a few minutes. Last time we were there in May Adley was just shy of being able to ride all the big rides. We learned about a place where they will measure you and give you an armband that has the appropriate color that corresponds with your height category. This way you are measured once and simply just have to show your armband to get on the ride. Adley was thrilled that he was tall enough this time to ride any ride in the park. Eli and Liam also got moved up to the next category. Thank goodness for Eli because this kid has been dying to ride more rides. He and Adley are not afr

Liam

Man do I love this little boy! He is full of squeals, smiles, slobbers, hugs, crumbs and dirt. He is at such a fun age. Liam says a lot through the faces he makes because he is quite stubborn and shy and still not wanting to talk much. He says a hand full of words, shakes his head yes and no and is starting to make different sounds. He is making progress so I am not too worried anymore. And if you haven't heard or noticed....no more pacifier....Yay! Liam is growing up so fast but is still my most snugly baby. He loves to rock in the chair before nap and bed and when he gets up in the morning he often times runs to my room to crawl in bed with me for more snuggles. I just love it! Up next, to turn his crib into a toddler bed....then all signs of 'babyness' will be gone, ah so sad! Liam learned how to climb anything recently, kind of scary! This was a search for his paci back in March. The boy would do anything for that darn pacifier, but surprisingly it was prett

EB awareness week!

This week is EB awareness week! EB stand for Epidermolysis Bullosa. It is a rare, genetic skin disease that involves the connective tissues of your skin. The slightest friction to the skin can cause severe blistering. The EB kids are referred to as 'Butterfly children' because their skin is so fragile. To learn more go to http://www.debra.org/ . I came across this disease through a blog about little Jonah. You can follow Jonah by clicking on his picture to the right. I have since come across several EB kids that I follow on a regular basis. EB is a horrible, painful disease. This week I will be running in a 5K race in support of EB. A few of my friends from work and myself made shirts that have the kids we follow on the back. Unfortunately shortly after the shirt was made little sweet Bella passed away. She was at the University of Minnesota for a clinical trial for an EB bone marrow transplant. I think she was patient #12. So far this is the only hope these kids have. I miss B
