A New Year

Okay, I am totally behind in posting, but I definitely wanted to make sure and post a few things about Christmas. We had such a fun time! It was full of family and friends. Austin is at a fun age, he loves the lights, songs, and of how can we forget the presents. Even now he wakes up in the mornings and says "Wahoo, Christmas Day!" I have to remind him that we already had Christmas and it will come again in a year. I guess it didn't quite click yet.

For Christmas we had many fun parties with all of our family.
Here are the dad's and Jamie making Gingerbread houses. They were supposedly "helping" the kiddos. They were all very creative.


We had a great Christmas morning. Austin absolutely loved his presents. He loved the Dinosaur Train that he received and held onto those dinosaurs for days. I can't seem to find a picture of him with his dinosaurs. We may just have taken video...oops.

Josh had a hard Christmas. He started getting a cough before Christmas, then being around so many people during the holidays it seemed to get worse. We got him tested for RSV and sure enough, he had it. So for the rest of December and most of January we have been home bound. He didn't have to go to the hospital, we just had to watch his breathing. He is doing better now, but still has that yucky stuff in his throat. It guess it can take months to get completely over. Yuck!

A few weeks ago, we were able to bless our Joshie. We just had a small gathering at my parent's house. We did the blessing and enjoyed a dinner afterward. It was really fun to do it at the house.

These boys are growing up so fast.



Austin is now 2 1/2 years old. He loves to play with trucks, trains, balls, and dinosaurs. He loves watching Super Why, and Dinosaur train. These shows are awesome. He saw a stop sign the other day and he said, " S T O P, that spells Stop." Yeah, pretty crazy. He just soaks up everything. He is so fun to have around. He says the funniest things.

Josh, is now 3 1/2 months old. He is HUGE! You wouldn't guess it by how much he spits up. Whenever I feed him, I have to have a blanket close by. Not a burp rag, but a blanket to catch the pool of milk that he spits up. But time will fix that.
He smiles so much! It's so fun to see his whole face light up when he smiles. He started grasping onto toys and looking around everywhere. He is such a good sleeper, finally! He now will go to bed around 9:30 and sleep until 3 or 4. Then sleep again until 8 or 9. It's pretty great..now if only we could get Austin to do the same :)

We are so excited for 2012 and the memories that will be made!
