Baby It's Cold Outside!

So I have decided that it is a true fact...Minnesota = COLD! This is a picture of our window...the inside! We really have a warm apartment but it is so cold outside. Tonight it is just -7, but in the morning it is suppose to be -11, and -29 with the wind chill! Yep, it sure is cold here!

Tyson's Birthday!

Tyson is now 1 year old! Happy Birthday little guy! We are sure glad that you are in our family!

Our Trip to Utah!

We had such a great time in Utah with our families! It was sure hard to leave again, but we made it and I guess we will survive! Marcus and Tyson sure had a great time and really got spoiled way too much. We are now afraid that they're going to get so bored with just Mom! Thanks so much for everything we really love you all so much!

Christmas!

Santa came early to our house this year! We all had a great day and were so excited that he (Santa) knew that we would be gone. We are leaving on Friday for Utah! We are so excited to be going home for Christmas! Have a MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Where's Santa?

I was finally able to get Marcus on film with Santa. He is still a little shy with the real Santa but with our place mat Santa then he is definitely not shy!

Our Fun Week!

This week has been a lot of fun. First off we made some Christmas cookies while the boys were in bed and Brian made a fun Christmas tree cookie especially for Marcus. Brian and I were so excited to give it to him. Well...he loved it! He just kept saying "Christmas tree cookie" and then getting this huge smile!

We also were able to go meet some of Brian's classmates at a very impressive ice skating rink. Marcus loved to watch them all skate around.

We went to the Macy's Nutcracker display, and ended up waiting in line for quite a while but I loved it! Marcus and Tyson liked it too, but Brian probably could have done without. It was really impressive, I loved all of the 17 scenes.

Well even though we had a great week, Brian still had to study quite a bit. Here is Marcus reading aloud Brian's finance material. He just doesn't understand what is so hard about it.

Brothers

Boys, boys, boys! I love them! I believe we have the sweetest little boys ever. The past couple of days they have really been enjoying each other more and more. Marcus has always been a sweet boy to Tyson but I guess I am realizing how much Tyson really loves Marcus. About every time Tyson wakes up from his nap and Marcus is asleep he doesn't really know what to do, he gets so bored. I guess I am not as exciting as Marcus is. But when Marcus is awake then he just follows him around and tries to give him kisses. Today Tyson crawled up all of the stairs for the first time. He was so quick that it looked like he had done it a thousand times. I think that the main reason that he was so quick was because Marcus was in the lead! The boys were both laughing, it was the best ever! I sure love being a mom!
