Our New House

I guess its really going to happen! We will be new home owners March 18 (as well as reluctant landlords). Our new house is only about 5 minutes from our house now in the suburb of Arnold. It has a glorious 5 bedrooms (so everyone can come and visit and not sleep on an airmattress anymore) and an awesome yard for the kids. The community also has alot of ammenites that I'm sure we'll take full advantage of (like the pool). We are so happy that we are moving into our dream "grown-up" house! I will post more pictures when we move in.

Happy Birthday Nana

Decorating cupcakes for Nana's birthday. Thanks for coming Nana, we had a great time!!!

SICK SICK SICK!!!!

This may be the most pathetic picture I have of Alison, but she was so sick! She had a cold gone bad basically. It started out with a runny nose that turned into a double ear infection, that got so bad that it infected her sinuses and gunked her eyes closed, that produced so much mucus that she threw up everytime she ate and coughed! Needless to say, it was pretty awful, but we are happy to report she is on the mend now. Poor baby!!!

Peepee in the Grass

He ran out of the house in the freezing cold to do this. He is SO boy!

Potty Update

Just to let everyone know, Brody is potty trained and has been for a few weeks. He is a pro and goes all by himself whenever he needs to. He refused to use a potty seat and instead stands to go pee pee and sits on the regular seat for "everything else". It is awesome not changing poopy diapers! He even gets up from naps if he has to go! Potty Bootcamp definately paid off in the end.

Sittin' Around

My Little Princess

Pillows...just in case

Sick boy in his comfy spot watching Toy Story

Finger Food

Here is Ali eating her teething biscuits and puffs (she doesn't really get the whole idea of putting them in her mouth yet though...and she kinds of chews like a cow!)

Paparazzi

Brody found my old camera and LOVES to go around the house taking pictures of everything, his robot, tools, his books, the garbage, and his monkeys. He is actually pretty good too!

Alison 8 Months Old

Pay no attention to the peas on my shirt...
Bluesteel

Alison turned 8 months old on the 4th and I can't believe it! She is doing so much now. She easily rolls all over the room, sits up and plays with toys, eats 3 meals a day, and just started finger foods. I am quite sure she weighs about 22 lbs or more. She has definately outgrown most of her 12 month clothes and wears 12-18 mos in most stores. She also loves to play in her exersaucer (and I love that she loves it...just like Brody!).

Snowstorm

We have been pretty lucky with storms this year (unlike last year!). Brody LOVES shoveling as you can see. The snow was so heavy that our cable, internet, and phone service was out for a week....hence the large gap of posts!
