Some January 2012 favorites and funnies...
- Someone celebrated their last birthday in their 20's.  Yikes. 
My 20's have been fabulous.  Definitely the busiest decade of my life thus far.  
Decided I had better make the most of this year before I get too old to remember things. 
The boys spoiled me with flowers, a dinner date downtown, and even posing for pictures.  
29 is good.



 - Preschool, preschool, preschool. 
Our house has been learning central this month.  It's been my month to teach both Sam and Max's preschool groups.  It's been tiring yes, but seriously fun.  The kids are patient with me...I try to be patient with them.  It's a win-win. 
The kids are darling and we've learned lots...and yes, Jake is one patient baby!








- Rice cereal taste testing.
We decided to let Jake give rice cereal a try.  Sam was beyond thrilled to help feed him, which is actually a huge help to me.  And this rice cereal thing has been just the trick to getting Jakey Pants to sleep soundly through the night.  We're talking like 9 or 10 hours straight!  Yes please!








-Agency.
Sam (who suddenly looks like a teenager to me in these pictures) gave a talk in church on agency.  Eric and I were those super proud parents who couldn't stop smiling as he gave his talk without help into the microphone.  Little did we know that his new found agency knowledge would backfire a bit. 

"Mom, what's for dinner?"
"Chicken."
"I don't want chicken.  I just want a quesdilla."
"Sorry, Sam.  I made chicken.  That's what we're having."
"Don't you know I have my own agency?  You can't choose for me.  I can choose what I want to eat, and I want a quesadilla."

Hmmm....we're working on it. 



 - Oh, Max.
It seems like each night just as we tuck Mr. Max into bed he tells us he's hungry.  Okay, if you know Max then you know that he doesn't just tell us...he TELLS us.

"I'm hungry.  No, I'm starving!  Just look at my teeth!  They're starving!"


- Score.
I should get points for safely avoiding this booby-trap on the stairs...


   Life is good.

You guys have had a busy, fun month. Max seems so much like Josh to me. He seems to always be hungry at night too.

First of all I LOVE the black and white pics of you with your boys! And secondly, how did Jake grow up so fast?! I can't believe he's already old enough for rice cereal....he looks so grown up in the high chair!

My son gave the same talk and we had the same issues after! Ha, kinda left me speechless for a minute. Smart little guys.
