Andrew's Birthday Video



Here is a video of us singing to him. He sang along with us! He was pretty excited about his special day!


Andrew's 2nd Birthday

Andrew turned 2 on Saturday so we had a family birthday party for him. He was a little unsure at first but really got into it once he started opening presents. He is a busy little boy - he loves playing with cars or anything that his big brother plays with. Andrew loves to play chase or anything that involves running. He also likes animals, reading books, and singing. He is a pretty bad eater.....I made a big late Thanksgiving dinner and he ate a roll. Needless to say, we had his favorite, pizza, for his birthday! He is also talking so much more now - he is talking using multiple words. It's fun listening to him!!


Josh and I got him a kitchen after a little debating....Josh thought it may be a little girlie but he loves it!! (I won that discussion!) He got a lot of food to go with it!


Andrew and his superhero brother


Grandma Betty made horses for the boys - they love them!


We went to the zoo. It was a bit cold but fun to get outside and run around a little. No comment about the lions mating....


When someone would ask Andrew how old he was, he would say, "5."


He loves dinosaurs so we had a dinosaur party complete with toys and tattoos. The cake took a lot longer to make than I thought it would but it was worth it after seeing his face!

We had a great day! Thanks to all the family that was able to come to make it a special day for him!!

Our Rough Thanksgiving Week

We had a rough past week. On Tuesday night, Andrew was sick to his stomach. We decided not to go down to Josh's parents for Thanksgiving in fear of someone else getting it. I ended up getting sick on Sunday and Will on Monday in the car on the way home from school. Thankfully, Josh was driving!! Today, we were feeling a little better and I decided to take the boys outside to get some fresh air after being in the house for a week. I even opened the windows to try to get the germs out.... does that really work? I'm not sure but it sure made me feel better! The boys were so excited about the snow! We only stayed outside for a short time but the fresh air was great!


Grandparent Day at School

Betty, Angela, and her fiancee, Josh, came up to visit before Thanksgiving. Will's school had Grandparent's month so Betty came up to go with Will. We had a great time together!


The boys had fun with Ang and Josh!
