Just had to post an update of our little Max! He is really getting around quick now - he has been crawling for about 2 months now. He is even standing on his own and I'm sure walking is just around the corner. He is always smiling and has such a happy and easy going personality, although when he really wants something he makes quite a squeal! We love us some Max!

Happy Birthday Brady!

Brady turned 4 years old a couple days ago! Wow - time flies! Oh how we love our Brady! He is so full of energy and spunk! Each day, Tyler and I look at each other and shake our heads as this kid continues to fill our lives with a lot of love, excitement, and testing of our patience!!! We celebrated with family on the 21st, his actual birthday, and then he had a party with his friends a couple days later at Chuck E Cheese. He had been talking about having his birthday there ever since his last birthday. So even though there were tons and tons of people there, the kids didn't seem to mind and all had a great time!

First Snowy Adventure!

While in Utah Cole and Brady got to play in the snow! This was Brady's first time to experience snow so it was especially exciting. They got all bundled and went outside for some fun! They played by themselves for a bit eating snow, making snow angels, and having a snowball fight. Then Grams ( Tyler's mom) went out and decided to pull them down the street by tieing a rope around her waist and then to a piece of cardboard the boys were sitting on. She was crazy, but the boys loved it! Later on Bailey, Jordan, and Taylor came over and they all went sledding. They all got a few bumps and bruises, but still had a blast! The snow made for a great day, but made me appreciate going home to the sunshine!

Christmas 2009

We had a such a wonderful Christmas! We decided that we didn't want to be home by ourselves this year so we drove up to Utah and surprised everyone. It was so fun to see both sides of our families. The boys loved spending time with their cousins and it was good to be with everyone during this special time of the year. We hadn't been to Utah for quite a few years, and it was a loooong trip, but we made it and it was worth it!

Brady's X-Mas Program

A few cute pictures from Brady's preschool Christmas program. First the class sang a few cute songs; Brady mumbled a few words and actions, but was pretty shy. Then the teacher had the kids tell what they thought their parents wanted for Christmas. Brady said Tyler and I wanted a new drum stick. Brady broke one of the guitar hero drumsticks so he must have been feeling a little guilty about that one! j/k

Our little monkey!

Here is Brady on his final day of Little Gym. He loved taking this gymnastics class. The teacher was always so impressed with his coordination. This kid has got so much energy and this was a great way to let him be crazy and not get in trouble for it. He was so proud and excited to get his first medal!
