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...

Mickey Mouse

Mickey is a very loved mouse in our house. Liam absolutely can't get enough of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on Disney. When he wakes up in the morning he comes straight to my room, snuggles in between Jared and I and turns on the tv for his cartoon. He sits there with his arms behind his head and legs outstretched. He is so darn cute. So the other day I decided to buy him a stuffed Mickey. He was so surprised and loved it. Checking him out. Mickey now has his own corner in Liam's crib. He likes his 'pets' in specific places. Also, guess who is potty training???? The only kiddo I have left in diapers - woot woot!!! He has started this all on his own and so I'm optimistically hoping for December to be down to pull ups at night. Liam won't speak to tell us he has to go he just pats himself and points to the bathroom - whatever works right! And here is our very first tomato from our tiny 1 plant garden....... We have a few more and hope they will ...

It's been a while . . .

since I last posted. We have been so busy this month. Adley had his Christmas program at his preschool - they studied Italy and dressed so cute. They sang the song, "when the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's amore . . ." (not sure of the exact title). Adley has sung it several times since to many people. I think he might be musical when he gets older. We all recovered from our sickness and made the journey to Arizona to see my family. We spent 12 days there and had a wonderful time. Surprisingly it was warmer here at home while we were gone then it was in Arizona. We got to go to the Lego store, which the boys loved. We played at a really fun park, visited with friends, made a gingerbread house and sugar cookies, ate at our favorite places, went to the movies, enjoyed a visit from Santa at the house and tried to get in some rest. We had family pictures taken for the first time in 5 years since my brothers were gone on their missions. We finally g...
