Welcome 2010!!!!

So many changes in 2009! I mean Michael Jackson passed away - okay on to more serious stuff. Our first born turned 3 and turned into a big boy. My baby turned 1 and thinks he is 3 like his brother. It has been an incredible year! I thank God for ever moment. He has truly blessed us and I look forward to all that he holds in store in 2010. I leave you with some 2oo9 pictures.

Cathing Up From a Merry Christmas

Sorry it has been a few days but we were busy spending time with family. We had a wonderful Christmas! It was great to see everyone but missed the ones that were unable to make it down for the Holidays. Jax really got into Santa Clause this year- the husband will have to write more on that tomorrow night. I have to give some updates on the boys. Jax does not want to take his nap or go to sleep at night. He is so smart and can charm you so well that you hate to get upset, but he does have to go to sleep. Riley learned how to do "Itsy Bitsy Spider". It really did shock me that he could do the hand motions (we did not practice and I don't sing it very often). He also now makes a car or truck sound as he pushes the car or truck (really cute). He also loves to climb. Today he has dragged a little stool that we have all over the house. Jax got a computer keyboard (it hooks up to the TV) for Christmas and loves to use it (and he is getting good at it). I leave you with pictures from the past week.

Merry Christmas

We wish you all a very Merry Christmas! Happy Birthday Jesus! May you all remember the real reason for the Holiday! Love you all.

Pictures

I have been behind on posting pictures so here are a few from the past few weeks. The boys got to see snow (not much but it is rare for us). You can also see pictures of my new lawn service :)

Getting closer...

to Christmas Day and JaxMan can't wait. Ask him why we celebrate Christmas, and he will tell you, "It is Jesus's birthday!". He still wants a bike, jackhammer, tractor with a backhoe, and a backpack blower, of which I am not sure Santa will be able to bring all of that. We will see. Riley is a climber. The other day, he had pushed his little chair over to the dining chairs, and when I caught him, he was 3/4 the way on the dining chair, eyeing the top of the dining table. We have to watch him closely. Off to a another week of work, however it will be short with Christmas fast approaching.

It has been awhile....

since we've posted something. Christmas is getting closer and the JaxMan is getting excited. HoHo came to his school today, and he got candy and a puzzle. He is trying to be good, but sometimes it is hard. Riley is growing up. He is climbing on everything and starting to talk. He and JaxMan are starting to play more together. It is funny, JaxMan started yelling at him for some reason the other day, and Riley stood there, pointing at him and yelling back. He wasn't going to let JaxMan push him around. I guess we are getting a taste of what we will get to experience more of in the future. We went down to the "City of Lights" last weekend and met up with some friends to see the lights and fireworks. It was so foggy, that we could not see 90% of the fireworks, but we had fun.

Gross weather

The weather this weekend was just nasty. Wet, gray and cold. We went and saw the festival of lights but really could not see all of the fireworks because of the severe fog. We lucked out and got a great seat at a restaurant on front street - so we got to stay dry and warm. Looking forward to a great week.
