One Year Old!!!





So... We are proud to announce that we made it through the first year of the boys life.... and lived to tell about it. We didn't do anything big for the boys. We just had some family over and did cake (we forgot the ice cream) and a BBQ. It was the marathon weekend so Papa Craig, Grandma Teresa and Uncle Randy were in town, needless to say it was quite a busy week for all of us.



The boys are so much fun. In September we moved the boys to their forward facing car seats and they seem to be enjoying it. They also went off formula and on to whole milk. We went to a park where they have a splash pad, but the boy enjoyed the shallow pool/pond they have for the kids to play in. Right now they boys really enjoy trucks and balls. They don't talk but "dada" might be the only one classified as a word that is actually used in the right context. The boys like sit down and read books, they also are fascinated by doors, and like to push them open and shut. They like to be outside and go for runs in the stroller.

MARATHON NEWS



David ran the St. George Marathon in 4:23. His Dad (Craig) and brother (Randy) ran as well. David's mom (Teresa), the boys and I were there to cheer them on as they crossed the finish line. It rained almost the whole race, and was cold. David's is super sore, but we are all so proud of his accomplishment.

Casssie~ I can't believe your boys are one! They are such cutie pies! Good job David on running the marathon. Do you still need help with your blog Cassie? Just call me and let me know I will try to help you the best that I can. Really my sister just did mine for me, but I do know how to do a digital scrapbook paper blog if you want that.

HAPPY 1st Birthday BOYS! I can't believe they are already one year! Time really has gone by fast this past year. They look so old and grown up! Makes me sad when they start loosing the BABY look. Aiden is starting to loose it too. ;(

Hey just wanted to tell you that there are only 4 Backstreet Boys because Kevin took a break :-) One of the reasons why I am thinking that this might be my last chance :-)
