Fun in the Snow

We got our first snow of the year the other day, and actually got our 2nd last night. These are some pics of the boys playing in the 'now.

Garrett and Turner learned to make snowballs and we had fun having a snowball fight. I also improvised a sled for them and pulled them in it around in the yard. It was super cold out, so we didn't get to play for very long and it was not the right kind of snow for snowmen either.

Happy New Year!

We had a great Christmas at our house and we are looking forward to all 2011 holds for our family! I get such joy out of my boys every day and look forward to so many more fun moments with them! I think 2011 will also be filled with lots of dr. appts. At least for the first part. Over Christmas break we took Garrett to a pulmonologist to get his asthma under control. He is now on 2 inhalers and no more breathing treatments, unless he gets really sick. We go back in 4 weeks to see how he is doing. And the poor twins also have dentists appts. that day. :( We are then going to schedule Garrett's oral surgery for spring break and will be going back to the pulmonologist before his surgery to get an okay for surgery. So, poor Garrett is going to have a rough couple of months with all his anxiety/ fear of dr.'s. But hopefully, after March he will be great and we won't have to go too much more.

Turner is doing great. He is so funny about his clothing right now. He got 2 Ken dolls and a Barbie doll for Christmas and none of them wear clothes. Turner also prefers to go in his underwear. He was playing with a naked doll at Thanksgiving and Grandpa taught him to call her No Pants Nance. Since Turner prefers no pants, I told him we were going to call him No Pants Lance. He told me no, he wasn't a girl. I told him Lance was a boys a name, and he said, "Oh. Okay. That's alright." He gets up in the morning and tells me he needs to take his pajamas off because you are not supposed to wear them when the sun comes up. He doesn't want to put anything back on though. Last night I asked if he wanted to just go to bed in his underwear and he was adamant that he had to wear pajamas. Silly kid. I give him the opportunity to go naked and he insists he wears clothes. And they must match!

Hudson is growing up so fast, he is already getting to be more of a toddler than a baby. At 9 months old he is wearing 18 and 24 month clothes. He is so tall!! We need to go in for his 9 month well-check and then we will know his current stats. He has started signing a bit- more and milk, sometimes eat/food as well. The boy is very serious about his food. He loves eating whatever we are eating, especially grilled cheese! He has 5 teeth- 2 on top and 3 on bottom. I can just barely feel the 4th tooth on the bottom. And he finally started babbling Mamamama!! Love that! He is all over and into everything. He will happily crawl down the hall to the bathroom to play all by himself. He loves to follow his brothers where ever they go. No one can make him laugh as easily as Garrett. He loves his brothers!

And now for some recent pics! (They messed up and I don't know how to fix them, but you can view the whole pic if you click on it)

Not sure Hudson actually opened many gifts, but he had fun with the paper!
