Catch Up

I've not been great at keeping up the blog since we moved back. Even though it was originally to keep family in touch and informed, I still want to continue it for the boys to look back on.

Warning: This post will be long.

Logan: Logan is growing like a weed. He is really, really excited about Santa coming. He got a video message and phone call from him, which he thought was so cool. He is a really good big brother when he wants to be. He especially takes care and protects Graham and is very sweet to him. He's a good helper to me too now. He is good about helping me with diaper changes and cleaning up. He especially likes to fold clothes, haha.

Nate: Nate is starting to enter the terrible two's. He's a little stinker a lot now. Like refusing to get in his carseat and climbing to a part of the car where I can't reach him. Taking the pictures over his bed off the wall while he's suppose to be asleep. Torturing the dog. I think he learned all that from his big brother though. His speech is great. He talks in full sentences and I can understand most everything he says, most other people can too it seems. He seems to understand Santa this year. He loves the Elf on the Shelf and know all about not touching it (he'll lose his magic!), even though we tend to keep it up high just in case.

Graham: Grahamalama is my little buddy. He LOVES his mommy. He is taking formula pretty well now. He takes bottles during the day and nurses at night. Right now it's kind of the best of both worlds. He still gets the antibodies and such from nursing but I get the convenience of formula during the day. He is still army crawling but keeps getting up on his knees and rocking so it wont be too long before he takes off. He is pulling up now and has learned how to get down from standing. He's starting to get a little mohawk like Nate had. I hope he get the full blown all hair stick straight up phase that Nate had. He says mama and dada. He gets so excited every night when Brent gets home. He leaves the Christmas tree alone mostly.

Brent: Brent has been working a TON since Thanksgiving. He leaves anywhere between 5 and 6 and gets home between 8 and 9. The next 2 days need to hurry up so he can get back to his normal schedule. He gets 3 days off after Saturday, works 4 and then is off 10 days!!! I'm so excited to have him home after this very long Holiday season.

Beth: I've been super busy trying to get the photography biz up and going....getting official pricing for 2013, 2013 goals, designing the website (www.bethpricephotography.net), keeping up the photog blog (www.bethpricephotography.blogspot.com), marketing material, etc. Along with several Bizzy B orders, keeping up the house, taking care of the kids mostly by myself (not complaining, it's just reality with the holiday season at Brent's work),....whew. It's been one heck of a month! I didn't get to make as many Christmas presents as I wished, but that's ok.


They boys are going to have a fantastic Christmas. They are getting a dune racer powerwheels, an art desk with supplies, kid proof tablets (maybe they will give me my phone and computer back!), basketball goal (Nate loves basketball), walkie talkies, a remote control racetrack, remote control Thomas for Nate and Lightning McQueen for Logan, rain boots, house shoes, movies, garbage truck for Logan (weird request, right?), little wagon for Nate. Graham is getting a walker, a walk behind walker/activity center, a disney train toy and a little jukebox. I'm so excited for Santa to come!!
