2010

I cannot believe how super fast this year has gone - the boys are growing up so fast - I still cannot believe I have a first grader and twin boys who are going on 1 1/2. This has been a good year - we did some really fun vacations up to the cottage in Ludington - a wonderful vacation to the Wisconsin Dells with some really good friends and Mike and I even squeezed in a couple date nights - we are hoping to do more of these this new year!

I haven't posted in a while on the boys.. so here is an update!

Brevin is doing so well in school - he was student of the month in October - we are so proud of him. He is reading well and writing well and learning SO many new things. We finally started going to church again - we got away from this when I was pregnant and had the twins but we found a church that we really like and Brevin is already involved in their Wednesday night program and he seem to really enjoy it.

I still struggle with giving Brevin the time that he needs with us... the twins take up a ton of our time and I feel horrible not spending more time with Brevin - he doesn't complain at all but it just tugs at my heart that I can't give him more of "me" time... but as the twins get older.. I am sure more of that time will come - I just have to realize that I can't do everything and any time that i can give him is quality time - even just playing a Mario game on the Wii with him seems to make him so happy - he doesn't ask for much at all. I just love him so much - he is such a good kid and such a good big brother!!

As for the twins.. they are doing so well. Ian is running all over the place and he loves to make a lot of noise.. a lot of LOUD noise - he literally hurts my ears he is so loud. He loves to have someone on the floor playing with him. He loves to "wrestle" and climb on me and Mike - soon as we sit our butts on the floor - he comes running up and literally tackles us!! He still loves to eat and loves a sippy of water. We have to watch this a bit because to much water makes him spit up.

He still tries to bite me... when I say "no bite".. he will look at me and then bite me and see what my reaction is.. it makes me laugh but I still need to say no.

He doesn't talk much but he is loud with noises. He says Da Da and will raise his hands up when I say SO Big. He claps his hands and will dance. He is a lot of fun and he is the one that get me exhausted!!

Alex is still not walking - he "walks" on his knees. He loves to be held. He gets very annoyed with Ian and now has started to push him away when he doesn't want him near. He loves his little blankie - he carries it every where in the house. He says Ma Ma and will say "Mmmmm" when he eats.. it is so cute!! He is starting to make kitty cat sounds when I ask him what a kitty says. He does So Big also and raises his hands up. He is much more of a sensative boy - he will cover his ears when I first turn on the vacuum. He isn't much of an eater - he would rather throw down his food for Blue. But I do have to say that he will try anything I feed him.. Ian will spit stuff out of his mouth but Alex never does that - he will eat anything but just doesn't eat as much as Ian.

Alex follows me everywhere I go and gets really mad when I say no to him and will cry. He is more layed back - not as active as Ian.

Alex LOVES to go to sleep - never puts up a fuss going down for a nap or for Bedtime - Ian still always cries.

I know I am forgetting some things but I just wanted to put up an update. This year really has been good - I am so blessed with having the 3 most amazing little boys and one amazing husband - I love them all so much!!

Here are some pics from Christmas!!
