Happy New Year!

Obviously I need to make a goal to post more so you can all see my handsome boys pictures!  Life... Is going.  It's good actually.  Will is enjoying his new job (the one he started in May).  I'm am pregnant with Baby #3 (I find out in a week what we are having!).  Brady is getting so mature and almost 3 years old.  It's fun to have conversations with him, and see how excited he gets over everything.  Tanner has a very strong stubborn personality, but we still love him.  He likes to say "uh oh", esp when lights are off, and "uh uh" (meaning No) as he shakes hes whole body (NOT the head) side to side.  It' been fun seeing them grow!

Christmas was a BLAST!  Brady kinda got the "Santa Claus" Idea, and Tanner just loved opening toys.  My parents went down to Arizona, so it was quiet at our house Christmas day.  Just lots of new toy messes and fun games.  The boys got bikes and LOVE them!  Tanner got the Plasma Car which he has just figured out this week, and likes to ride behind Brady on hit (who almost has it mastered).  Brady got a balance bike... He goes straight pretty good... but since outside is snow and ice he's limited to inside practicing which is harder with all the turning.

Here are some pictures from the last few months:

October:
Had a fun visit with Grandpa Merrill!  As parents we were invisible to the kids for the weekend
(not cool enough I guess)

Raking and jumping in leaves was a daily activity.  The weather was pretty warm.

Monster #2  AKA BIG Scary Moster

November:

Brady LOVES the SNOW!  First of the season

Had fun making "Turkey Crafts"  Brady would make baby turkeys to
carry around in his "nest"  AKA  bowl

Second Snow with LOTS of it!  Perfect wetness for some great leafy-snowmen!

December:

A Daily must when Will gets home from work.

Parenting Hack:  Give the boys butter knives to chop away very crusty old Dehydrated Apples.
