Alex and His Stuffed Animals!

Alex LOVES all of his stuffed animals! The other morning when I went in his room, I found him cuddled up with them! He is so funny! He knows all of their names and cannot go to bed unless he has them all in there with him! We took the boys to Build-a-Bear and made Alex a monkey for Valentine's day. He carries him all around the house all day long! We thought it fit because he is definitely our little monkey!

Valentine's Day!

Austin helped me make our Valentine's cookies on Sunday!
He really enjoys helping out lately!
The boys thoroughly enjoyed eating the cookies when they were all done! We had to deliver them to people that night so they would stop asking for MORE COOKIES!!!

SNOW, SNOW, AND MORE SNOW!!!

We have gotten almost 2 feet of snow just in the month of February!! The boys are loving it, but have a hard time playing in it because it is so deep, they just kind of sink!! Luckily for me our cute little neighbor boys are always willing to play with them outside, so I don't have to go out there!! Needless to say...I am ready for Spring and some warmer weather! Hopefully we don't get anymore snow!!!Pretty soon our mailbox is going to be buried!!
Our truck pretty much is buried!

Austin and Alex love to go out on the deck to do their snow dance!!

Bruiser isn't a big fan of the snow...he can barely even move in it. He is almost totally covered when he goes out on the grass, he has to jump to get anywhere! It is pretty entertaining!

Austin's new shelves

We were trying to decide what to do with all of the new toys that the boys received for Christmas and came to the conclusion that we needed to organize the closets in the boys' rooms. So, after pricing out some shelves at Lowe's, we decided to start with Austin's closet and do Alex's sometime down the road. Anyway, here is a picture of the shelves in the Austin's closet. It is amazing how much more organized we are now!

Bowling




We had some coupons for the local bowling alley, so we took the boys bowling for their first time. They seemed to have fun! They loved to push the ball down the ramp and then clap and cheer, I am not sure if they knew why they were cheering, but they were having fun!

Christmas 2009

This was definitely a fun Christmas for Austin! He was so excited for Santa to come to our house! We were getting ready for bed on Christmas Eve and he looked out the window and saw Rudolph's nose blinking brightly in the sky off in the distance, so he wanted to hurry and get into bed so that Santa didn't miss our house.
Both of the boys were in bed at 7:30!
The first thing that he did when he woke up was look to see if Santa ate the treats that he left for him and HE DID and left he left him a note. As you can see, he is little excited!
Then, he went to see what Santa left for him! He got everything that he asked Santa for, guess he was a good boy this year!
Alex was also thrilled with what Santa left for him!

Austin had so much fun opening the presents, that he opened them ALL, it didn't matter who they were for, he helped everyone!



I think that we set up and destroyed this track at least 5 times throughout the day!!


Check out our Christmas MESS! We had a wonderful Christmas! The boys are very excited about all of their new toys!! Thanks so much everybody!!

BUILD-A-BEAR

We went to Build-a-Bear last Saturday for an early Christmas present for the boys. Austin made Frosty the Snowman and Alex made Hal the Holiday Moose. The were just thrilled! Alex wants to take Hal everywhere with him, including to bed! As you can see below, Alex just loves to love on Hal and Austin loves his Frosty!
