BABY TALK, REPORT CARDS, AND FUN TIMES AT THE PARK

I had gone out shopping the other night with Jacob. He LOVES to talk in his 22 month old language. So, on the way home, I didn't have the radio on, and he talked and sang to me the whole way home(about 25 mins.). Oh, it was so sweet; I wish I could have recorded it!

Way to go Eli and Gregory!! They both got awesome report cards! Eli was honored in an assembly this last Friday for being on the honor roll!

Januuary has thus far been like spring....in the high 70's-low 80's. It's been absolutely beautiful! We've been riding bikes and going to the park everyday! The boys have been becoming expert fort builders and tunnel diggers at the park. However, we're not getting too used to the weather, as winter usually hits somewhat hard in Feb.

WAY TO GO CARDINALS!! I've been a die hard Cardinals fan for many years. THEY ARE ON THE WAY TO SUPER BOWL!! YEAH!!

NEW YEARS CAMPING TRIP

THE BOYS WITH THEIR NEW TOYS

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

The week before Christmas was very interesting, as we had our share of asthma attacks, the flu, and trips to the Dr. Knowing that we were having Christmas parties at our house, for both Dave's family, and mine, I was getting pretty nervous about all the germs going around in our house. Thank goodness, everything went great! We had Dave's whole family for an Italian feast the Sat. before Christmas....it was great to visit with everyone. My family came for our annual Christmas Eve sleepover, and Christmas day. We all had a great time, and the boys were so surprised with all of their new toys! Eli woke up to a RipBoard under the tree, Gregory got an RC Truck, Nathan got a new bike, and Jacob got His own "CARS" couch.
For New Years we headed out camping with my parents. We did a lot of hiking, play washers, and the boys had a blast riding bikes. The weather was perfect...in the low 70's! We rang in the new year....Gregory got the biggest kick out watching the new York ball fall( I think he enjoyed being up till midnight)! So, now we're into the new year, and things are starting to slow down a bit. The boys are back to school, and I'm back to work. It was such a nice Christmas season, and of course, it goes way to quick!!
We hope you all have a very happy and healthy 2009!!
