Finally Pictures

Sorry for not updating very much, I didn't realize that owning a home could take up so much time. And these boys want all of my attention. We are all doing great. Paul's work is starting to pick up a little as of tomorrow he will have done 4 home inspections. He is also working part time for the post office which has been good for us. I have been playing in a basketball league and a city volleyball league. We lost by 9pts in the championship for basketball, and for volleyball we won it all. Drew and Joel are cute as can be. Joel is getting to that age where he is not very obedient but he is still a great kid. Drew is just a trouble maker and a climber he has become our little monkey. You can tell by that picture above.

Drew

The posting is slow so this is all I have for now. Drew is getting so big can you tell. He is now walking full time. He took his first steps a day after his first birthday, I will put a video up for you to see. He is babbling like crazy so he might start saying some real words soon. His first word was done (which is so stinkin cute). The boys are both getting so big and they are learning how to play together. Joel is learning so much. He is learning how to count and say his Abc's as well as write letters.

Drew's first buzzer hair cut and he actually did pretty good.

New pics

Drew refusing to walk (not the I care all that much) but yet he does this and he will walk like this. Funny kid!



Hearing Dad's voice. As you can see he is trying to find him.

It's about time

Sorry I know that I haven't posted in forever but I have good reasons I promise. These boys sure have been keeping me busy. Let me give you a quick update. Paul has been working quite a bit lately doing property preservation stuff (getting homes ready to sell). Joel is talking about anything and everything and will tell you all sorts of stories. Joel has hit the stage where he is getting sick of Drew getting in his space (so we are constantly having to tell him to stop hitting or kicking his brother). He is learning things so quickly. My favorite thing he does now is sing. Now my crew from Rexburg knows how much Joel loves to dance well picture him singing and dancing it is so dang cute. And well Drew he is turning into a handsome little man. He is standing and pulling himself up now. All he ever wants is Mama (yes I have a big mama's boy). Drew has learned to sign a few thing (more, eat, and please), oh did I mention the kid claps. He now has six teeth and is learning how to use them. As for me I have found a new love Volleyball. I am playing 4 to 5 times a week and have been playing on a city league.
Life is great here in Oregon, and we hope all is well with all of you. Here are some updated pictures enjoy.

Christmas 2010

Update

Kid update! Drew is getting huge as you can see by the pictures he is now 8 and 1/2 months and is now weighting in at 20lbs 5 oz and 29inches long yeah I know big kid. He is army crawling all over the place and getting into everything. And I must tell you he is a mama's boy attached to me at the hip. Joel is doing great talking up a storm and he sings to us all the time. Our boys are amazing.



The top pictures are from a hockey game we went to. If you can't tell the resemblance that is Paul's younger brother next to him.

A couple pics

Well Drew is growing so quick. He is now 8 months old, I know crazy how fast he is growing. He is all over the place (just army crawling, he is still trying to figure out how to crawl on his hands and knees). The kid loves banana's and ritz crackers. Still a thumb sucker but that's okay with me for now. As you can see in the second picture Drew is starting to bug Joel now which if you ask me is funny sometimes. All and all the boys are doing great and so are we. We are still working on the house here and there but there is not much left to do inside, I will post more pictures later.
