Isn't He Cute???


My mom took this picture today.
I couldn't resist snagging it from their blog.

Koper's Blessing





Seth blessed Koper today at church, he did a fabulous job.
We enjoyed having our family here. We wished more could have joined us but with the snowy roads, it was best to be safe. Last night we went to bed with clear roads and this morning we woke up to six inches in our parking lot. We had to blaze new trails in the fresh powder as we drove to church. I am grateful for four wheel drive.
Thanks for coming to see us!!!

Christmas Once Again


Seth's parents and brothers came over for Koper's blessing this weekend. They brought Christmas with them and Weston loved opening the presents. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!!!

Crazy Hair


Koper has lots of crazy hair. I've started combing it down so that he doesn't look so much like Donald Trump.

Winter Fun



We went sledding with the fam during Christmas break. Weston was all smiles and laughter until we got to the sledding hill. We sent him down with Seth a couple of times, he didn't like it too much. It's a good thing we bought his snow pants extra big. Maybe next year...

Super Nanny, you are my hero...

So, last night we watched Super Nanny because nothing else was on and I actually enjoy her. Well, after conversing with my physical therapist this morning about last night's episodes, I decided we needed to confront Weston's sleeping habits. Weston has been known to work his parents over when it comes to when and where he sleeps. He loves sleeping in his doorway which he calls his "spot." He makes himself a little bed and brings all his little friends to his spot. After he gets tired of laying there, he starts to cry, we let him wear himself out a bit and then eventually he ends up on the couch or yellow chair with us.
Well, tonight I decided to be firm and an hour and a half later...Weston is sleeping in his bed. He's been asleep for almost an hour now and I don't know what to do with my time. :)

Life is getting back on track for our little family. When they say you need about six weeks to adjust to life with a new baby, they mean it. After Weston was born, I was ready to go in no time. Not so much this time around. I feel like we (mostly me) are starting to pull out of it and I am excited for Seth to start school again so that we can have a schedule.

The holidays treated us well. It was fun to have family in town and Weston loved spending time with his cousins. After Koper was born, I went back to physical therapy for my back, neck, hip, etc. At my appointment this morning I actually felt like we're making progress. So, like I said, I'm starting to pull out of it. My next goal (besides graduating from college...) is to take some really cute pictures of the boys and post them. They have both changed so much lately. About a week ago I decided to cut Weston's hair, it is so much shorter than I wanted, but we needed to start over. I had given him too many crazy haircuts, so it's nice to have a clean slate. Koper is packing on the pounds and will most likely catch up to Weston in the next few months...hopefully not though.

Hope you all are doing well!!!
