Wow!

Sooo much has happened and I have been a bad Mom with my blogging.. (Yes, I am a very proud Mom) ;)

Beau and Brady are now 5, wow how time flies when you are having fun. They are truly the best little 5 years olds EVER.. Every day I am amazed at how smart they are getting and how well behaved they are. As I sit here typing they are playing the Wii.. Brady is an addict for sure but I think Beau is starting to like it a little more lately. We got a game for Christmas at our house called "Just Dance" and to watch them dance is the cutest thing I have ever seen.. La and I decided to enroll them into a Montessori school and I believe that our decision in doing this was one of the best ones.. They LOVE it and are learning like crazy.

(My handsome birthday boys)

Stefani, the kids and I got a house about 4 months ago and we LOVE it.. Everyone is all settled in to their rooms and as soon as Chase (Stefs son) moves in, we will be one big happy family. We spent the Summer camping, Boating, Swimming and just enjoying the Sun. Bear lake was a blast with my family and a few of our friends.

We have ALL been skiing this Winter season and so far so good.. Beau and Brady love it and are catching on pretty fast. Stef isn't a big skier (coming from California), but I am doing my best at getting her up there on the hill with the rest of us, so far so good.. I think that the Winters here can be VERY long if you don't ski or board.

Short post but better then nothing, right? Me and the boys are off to work and school. Hope all is well with everyone out in the blog world.

Suprise!!!!

I guess I got enough of Facebook for a minute.. hahahhaah (that's to you La)
The weather is FINALLY warming up so we went on a few bike rides and spent time with family. My nephew McKade got baptized on Saturday so we had to get up early and head out to Stockton (hour drive).. I can't believe my oldest Nephew is 8... Crazy.. Seems like just yesterday I was begging my brother and sister in law to let me take him for the day/night.. I remember taking him to the store and feeling so "special" because people thought he looked like me.. I'm proud of you McKade.

My GREAT Grandmother made 20 of us Grandchildren hats and her request was to have us take a picture of ourselves in it and send her the picture... I love the hat.. It's something I will cherish FOREVER!!! Here is your picture grandma.. I'll be putting a printed one in the mail this week, I promise!

The boys started Karate last week and so far they are loving it.. Sensa Mark (chief instructor) told me on Friday that Brady is one of the most focused 4 year olds that he has taught and Beau has A LOT of energy but does good as well!


Lala took the boys to the Aquarium today with some friends and they had a great time.. Mom had to work ;(

Just some more pics!

Picture Update

Birthday Boys

Wow, 4 years ago there where two little miracles that came into our lives, they have grown so fast and I thank god for them everyday!

Yesterday was their special day! They where brought into this world with many struggles and fought through all of them! Beau wasn't really breathing on his own and neither Beau or Brady would eat or keep their temperatures up on their own! La and I where only able to go into the NICU during certain hours and hold them for 20 to 30 minutes at a time.. We had to reach through into their little home to change their diapers and just look at them for hours as they slept so peacefully! We had to go home empty handed for 2 weeks and drive up to the hospital, sometimes 3 times a day, or we did end up renting a room there at the hospital kind of like a hotel room so that we could be close by!

And now they are 4... Here are some pictures of their special day! We are SO blessed!!!
