Wow....it has been quite some time since I last posted on here. I was very hesitant to do a family blog for that reason. Hopefully in the future I can post more frequently! So much has changed since the last post. We have moved into a new house...love more space! We had a great summer...it is so nice to have a job that allows me to keep my sanity during the school year, but have lots of time at home with the kids over the summer. Bryce has started Kindergarten and really enjoys it. His favorite part of the day is the bus. He has also lost one of his top teeth. Over the summer he learned how to ride a bike which keeps him busy after school. Blake and Brooks turned three in August. How time flies! It seems like yesterday we were bringing them home from the NICU. They are both in "school" and working on potty training...what a chore! I'm still making jewelry, selling various other products, and am a stylist with Stella and Dot...I LOVE their jewelry! I never thought I would be good at direct sales, but this jewelry really sells itself. Eric is working tons and getting ready to start an instructional league with the Indiana Bulls. Needless to say, we are busy. Hence the vast amount of time between posts! Stay tuned......

This is what I found when I heard banging in the kitchen...Brooks was in on it too, but he loves cameras so as soon as he saw me with one, he ran over behind me. He would like for you to think he is the "good" twin! This was after I heard a bunch of laughing coming from the bathroom...I went in to see Blake and Brooks laughing hysterically pushing the plunger up and down in the toilet. At least it wasn't their hands in there this time!

This is a picture of Bryce from our Saturday adventure...we took Bryce to Supercross for the first time. It was actually a really good time, despite the fact that we had to park miles away (or atleast it felt like that in the bitter cold!). Bryce enjoyed himself and loved wearing his new shirt!

Saturday, January 31

I'm so excited about these pendants! I've been wanting to make them for quite a while, but wasn't exactly sure how. After watching a pod cast on the internet, I decided to give it a try. I've been trying to order online, but never heard back from the company. So, I made a mad dash to Moss Glass in Anderson today to buy the supplies. I'm hoping to improve, but I'm pretty happy about my first attempt at glass soldering. I'm hoping that once I get thinner glass or thicker tape, they will look a little better. I also need to add a jump ring so I can put them on a bracelet.

Monday, January 26th....

Blake is officially walking! He is walking everywhere now which is so exciting, but difficult to keep up when one goes one way and the other the opposite direction (although they both like to head to the toilet together to play in the water)! Brooks has learned to run so Blake has to keep up somehow!

I'm finally starting to get used to Bryce's hair. I miss the long locks, but he seems to like the short hair so I guess I have to too!

Bryce's haircut

Eric cut Bryce's hair today! :( I was so sad! I loved Bryce's long, curly hair...he looked so cute! Eric has been wanting to cut it forever, but I keep talking Bryce out of it...not tonight! I said it needed a trim and he got out the scissors and started cutting (he, meaning Bryce). Eric was thrilled! He took him in the bathroom and they buzzed it together! I can't decide if he looks younger or older. It definitely makes his eyes look bigger. Bryce loves it! He wanted to know if Miss Gina or Miss Erin would "call the cops or the police tomorrow" I asked why and he said because they might think there is another boy in there! With or without hair, he is still such a creative little guy!

The Boys!

Exciting News...Blake is starting to take more steps! He is standing up from the middle of the floor without support. He has been taking his sweet time learning how to walk...I guess he has finally decided to give it a try!

Brooks is talking so much more...the loves picking up a phone (or anything else he can get to his ear...today it was orange pieces) and saying "hewo"...or something that sounds sortof like a hello!

Bryce, as usual, comes up with something funny to say every day! He was excited today after school to tell me he ate a coconut at his Luau!
