Ok..

So Christmas happened. Let's finally talk about that!!

We got to go to Colorado this year for Christmas. All of Brett's family was there and it was so fun! The house was full and happy for the most part...i think. We got to stay for 2 weeks, but everyone was there for Christmas morning, which was SO super busy and crowded, but fun! you should've seen the commotion! There were millions of presents everywhere. The kids got quite the loot this year and i think were very happy with everything. The kids were in heaven being outside ALL the time! Everyone one was happy and everyone was together. It was so wonderful. i seriously have the best in-laws ever. K now here are a ton of pictures....and some explanations to them =)

Feb Birthday #2

Cason's birthday was on the 19th. This crazy little man is 3 years old!! UN-believable!! This dude came into the world trying to show us who was boss in this house (no time for drugs for this labor) and has been determined to be head of household since!
 

Oh Cason....Bubba, you are one spunky little man. You melt us with that smirk of yours and win everyone over with your beautiful smile. You are going to be one hunky lady killer. Right now you are way into superheros, hence the Cpt America cake. Also, we got you and your sister a piggy-bank at the store about a month ago and since then, you have become a little obsessed about money. Daddy can't even walk into the house without you diggin through his pants. Everyday when he leaves you say "Oh to make more money?" Well kind of kid....to get a degree to make more money, but actually we won't have it for a long time as we are going to try and pay the gov. back, but ya-one day hopefully we might ave some =). You are an expert at being the annoying little brother. Although, you can be so sweet and cute when you want to be You have entered the "why" stage and ask it after EVERYTHING!! I eventually can't come up with any more reasons to the questions you ask and have to say just because and quickly change the subject. You love the outside and I think this winter has just about killed you....We go to the store A LOT just so we can get out really. You, and everyone else here to, cannot wait for the sun to come out and play!!

  We celebrated your birthday the sunday before. We got to skype with Grandma and Granparado which was so much fun! It reminds us how much we miss our grandparents and wish we could be closer.

 He got a really cool gun from Grandma and Grandpa....SO excited to have all those little bulletts all over the house =)

 The Cake!! Delicious =)

Happy Birthday buddy! We love you Cason Brett and are so happy that you are part of our eternal family! Here is to many, many more birthdays!!

Brody is One

Ok maybe if I work backwards I will get more things posted?? Let's see....
Well both of my boys have their birthdays this month. Brody turned ONE on the 16th and Cason's is actually tomorrow, 19th, but we celebrated yesterday with family and he will have some of his little friends over tomorrow for a little playdate. But lets start with Brody....
I cannot believe how time just seems to be flying by.... Where did this last year even go?!!?

Current Brody Facts:
*You just started walking!! For almost a week he has been taking little steps here and there and I think he is almost up to 20 straight steps. He can still get to where he wants to go faster by crawling, its his super speedy mode of transportation.
*22 lbs and 8 ounces.
*He says "cheese" for the camera, "dada" "nawnaw" for milk and "nigh.nigh" He can say momma but rarely does. Oh, and he makes kissing noises. So cute.
*He has a mouth full of teeth. Just this last week his molars came in. A TERRIBLE experience for both of us. sheesh.
*WORST sleeper ever!! We got him sleeping through the night about a month ago. It lasted a few blissful weeks. We were even able to move him into the same room as Adalie. However, about 2 weeks ago he got sick and is reverting back to newborn stage again. Every. Two. Hours. GOO!! he is still sick, even was for his birthday. Poor little man.
 **Sorry....kind of pg-13 rated, and white trash. We stripped him down for the occasion =) haha

 

 this is one of my favorites...he is REALLY enjoying that chocolate. He is DEFINITELY his momma's boy

 Then we hosed him down in the sink and let him open his present....still naked of course

 Brody--We love you so much. You are such a sweet and happy baby. Your smile and dimples are the cutest thing ever. You have a cute and mischievous personality just like you brother and sister, but you have a hearts. Happy birthday little bubby, we are so glad you are ours!!

I am still here....sometimes

Once upon a time i was an excellent blogger. It has been forever i know and i apologize. I just got my computer up and working again and I also give myself the excuse of the busy holiday season. Also, I am looking for my camera because what is a post without pictures?? I am trying to keep it interesting enough for you. i will tell you a little story though. January was a terrible month. There was no room, or desire, to make new years resolutions. I have been on a trying to find the right birth control journey for about a year now, and January my Dr gave me an extremely high dose of estrogen which just about drove me, and everyone involved with me, insane beyond words. I am so lucky to have married my best friend who still manages to love me despite the terrible person I have been as of late. I seriously thought I was depressed and worthless. Luckily, the estrogen is slowly leaving my body and I am somewhat on the path to normalcy again....hopefully. I cannot say it enough though, I love my husband beyond words and would be completely lost without him in my life.

So coming soon. Thanksgiving-Christmas-Kids-New Years-and Times for Change. Oh wow i have a lot to update. sheesh.
