It's Beginning To Look Alot Like Christmas...

On Friday, while Mommy was sick in bed, Daddy brought up the Christmas decorations.

"We had to clean up first!" - Rhys

So we cleaned up all of the family room and put up decorations:

The Advent Calendar!

And Stockings!

Mommy's Jingling Snowman and Dog

The Nutcrackers

Now onto the rest of the house!  

Noah Thursdays: Soccer, Soccer, Soccer!

Specifically on Thursdays, there will be special posts about Noah highlighting him as a person, his activities and his milestones.  Noah was born on a Thursday so it's only fitting that his featured posts fall on a Thursday.  Enjoy!




Soccer.  It's what I do now.  I have practices every Tuesday at the park right next to my house.  My soccer games are every Friday at the fields.  I have alot of fun at soccer, except when we're playing and we're all so close to each other, trying to kick the ball.   We need to learn to pass so we're not so close to each other. But I like playing soccer.  Especially defense.

Owen Wednesdays

Specifically on Wednesdays, there will be special posts featuring Owen highlighting him as a person, his activities and his milestones.  Owen was born on a Wednesday so it's only fitting that his featured posts fall on a Wednesday.  Enjoy!

I am 18 months old and I am walking.

And talking.

I say things like "Cracker!" and "Deats! (Eats)" and  "Poopy!"

I give The Mommy lots of hugs and snuggle and kiss The Daddy.

I love my brothers.

I really love my brothers.

In the morning, when Daddy carries me straight from my crib to the car and puts me in my carseat between them, that's the best because I see my brothers first thing and play with them all the way to their "school".

That's all for now.

We're Baack!

We're back!  It's been a long break but we're here.  

We're putting The Mommy back to work because lots happening, we're growing fast and we need to share...

Stay tuned! 

Summer! Summer! Summer! Summer!

Hello!

It's summer! Summer!  Summer! Summer!   

And we've been doing all sorts of things...

Riding our Big Wheel and bike

Hanging out in a stroller...

Getting summer haircuts...

Hanging out at the creek in town...

Going on walks in rural Boulder...

And going to birthday parties....

Playing soccer...

And watching our brother play soccer... 

Rolling down hills...

And playing with friends...

There's more to come 'cause summer's not over yet.   

Stay tuned...

Bathroom Antics

Tonight, I walked in on three little rascals in the bathroom - two of them "brushing their teeth".  And they were, among other things...    

One Amazing Birthday Week...

Last week was a BIG BIRTHDAY week. Noah turned 6 and Owen turned 1 on the same day: March 3rd.

A Bowling Birthday Bash for the almost 6 year old with classmates from school along to celebrate.

On the actual birthday, two mini cakes for the birthday boys. Guess who's cake was whose?

Opening presents followed but not before several phone calls and one Skype video from family with birthday greetings.

Then, the following Saturday, on March 5th, we celebrated our baby turning 1 with a small gathering of special friends...

...and one BIG birthday cake...

...and blowing out the candle with help from Big Brother...

...and then Cake! His first piece ever!

One fun-filled, hectic, amazing, busy birthday week. One to remember. One birthday week down, and it looks like about 12-15 more to go (depending on Noah and whether or not he wants us to throw him some parties after he turns 18).
