OUR BOYS ARE BACK!!

We know, this is a long awaited posting. Life has been crazy busy since our last post and Mommy is so sorry that this wasn't done sooner!

We had an extraordinary Christmas. It was complete with Grammie, Baba Jun and Uncle cAndy coming to visit. Santa was very nice to us...too nice. So nice we've had to get rid of some of our other toys because Mom says her house has just run out of room!!

January started off great. An uneventful New Year until RSV combined with horrible ear infections took us down. The past 2 years we've received RSV shots to combat that horrible illness because we were preemies, but this year, we had to fight it off on our own. Unfortunately, RSV won...but just for a week. We're still recovering, but we did go back to school on Tuesday of this week.

Mommy knew her boys were back when they spent the majority of the day in 'time-out' and getting in to trouble.

To be off school for a week at home recovering, we got back to school and then we got a SNOW day! Yay for snow!!

Mommy and Daddy weren't too excited about it but we were pumped. We were able to hang out with Daddy and 'Uncle' Bret in the snow and throw snowballs and make snowman and angels. So much fun!

Yay for our health! Yay for snow! Now its time to warm up so we can get outside and play!

Videos

These videos are pretty self-explanatory. The first one we are jumping around like monkeys on a new toy Mom's friend so graciously sent for our birthday. She definetly wasn't thinking about Mommy's piece of mind when she sent it!!

This is our 1st annual Christmas program at our daycare. Notice who's in the front and who is standing in the back ready to start crying!

HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY, KIAN & ETHAN!

It's true!! Two wonderful years ago, Mommy and Daddy welcomed us into the world. Scared to death, not knowing what their premature little 2lb boys would look like and the quality of life they would live. Amazing growth, amazing boys. 2 of the BEST years of their lives. You would never imagine what we really looked like 2 years ago!

Here we are eating our Elmo cookies for our birthday lunch

After visiting Santa, we stopped with our cousin's, Maris and Tiffany, to play at an indoor play land and run off some steam!

Pics from our birthday party where we celebrated with our friends! Thanks everybody for coming!!

Amazing life, amazing boys! Thank God for another blessed year!

We had an extraordinary holiday weekend with family and friends. We learned a lot about four 2year olds under the same roof for 4 days straight. A lot of fun, a lot of 'time-outs', a lot of 'NOs', some crying, lots of laughing, and A LOT of play time. So much fun...can we do it again next weekend???

Sharing our latest and greatest toy with our cousins. It was so unseasonable cold on Thanksgiving we had to bundle up and were only allowed to be out for 15-20 minutes max. Mommy and Daddy got cold before we were so we had to go inside...wimps???

A much needed bubble bath after a hard day of play!

Winding down with Uncle Steve watching some Einstein videos. Bed time is arriving soon....

Reading time with Uncle Steve

A much warmer day allowed Mom and Dad to get Christmas lights up on the house. Of course, being the helpers we are, we were able to pull some strands of lights out of the box and 'detangle' them. Great helpers we are!

I'm headed to my secret spot for 'detangling'

Wait...me too!! I'm coming, brother!

Sunday afternoon helping Mommy and Daddy put the finishing touches on the start of the Christmas season. Putting the star on the top of our new Christmas tree! Thanks, Daddy!

Too much work makes us hungry and thirsty. We're hiding our snacks from Mommy and Daddy so we get our full 20 minute break. Do you think they will find us in our hiding spot under the table near the window?

Now....I'm fully ready for Christmas! Bring it on!!

Some of our more favorite candid shots from our photo shoot. Ethan decided to have a major attitude problem and a melt down during the entire shot, however, our photographer managed to get some spectacular shots!

One of our new favorite activities is playing on the "Weeeee" (No, Mommy didn't mispell it for the 'Wii'). With every swing back and forth, one of us yells..."WEEEEEE!" It's so much fun and something we can do together without fighting. Although, we do get upset when it slows down or stops moving.

Fall fun in the leaves. Beautiful fall weather. Can't ask for anything better!

Throwing leaves in the air and watching them fall!

We're enjoying our new Christmas present early. Thanks to 'Uncle' Bret and Daddy for taking a couple days out of their busy schedules to construct our latest toy. It's much needed entertainment in the back yard.
We've each only taken a few spills off the top! But, we're resilient little buggers and we hop right up. We heard Mommy saying to Daddy that she bets we won't even make a month before ending up in the ER for broken bones. We hope to prove her wrong!! But...we are ALL BOY!! The more danger, the better!

Stopping for a 'cheeze' on my way up to the top!

Hanging off the top!

Thanks for our awesome Christmas present!

An unfortunate event led to Mommy taking a brief trip to Fargo, ND. It was wonderful to see extended family that its been 5-10+years since seeing, however circumstances were not ideal. We'll miss you, Great Grandma Ann! RIP

Mommy's favorite nieces!

Yay...we get to see cousins' Maris and Tiffany in 1 week for Thanksgiving!

A quick picture with my nephew!

We're headed in to the busy holiday season! Yay!
