9 Months Old

On February 5th Megan turned 9 months old! Her check up went really well. She is 17.8 lbs and 26.25 inches tall. She is scooting backwards and loves to stand with assistance. She doesn't want to crawl but gets so upset that she can't just get up and run after everyone, so I would assume it will not be long before she is running after her brothers. She has one tooth and loves to eat as long as she feeds herself. She is vocal but only when it is quiet, she doesn't like to talk if anyone else is talking so once things go silent then she starts to yell. I totally love it, it is her way of announcing she is here.

Basketball

Christian started basketball last month with a city league and has totally loved playing. The games are on weeknights so it has been hard for Dan to attend all of them but we are still having a great time. His team has won 3 of their 6 games so hopefully they can win their last couple of games and end the season with a winning record! One of Christian's shots got stuck in the rim and it thought it was the coolest thing!

Snow Day

One of Christian's gifts from us was a snow day. We dropped Megan off with my sister and picked up my niece Brittany and headed up the mountain. It was a beautiful day with clear blue skies, we had so much fun. Ryan didn't like the sleds but the rest of us had a blast.Our little snowmanRyan was out as soon as he hit his seat!

Christian's Birthday & New Year's Eve

I think because I didn't get any pictures of Christian at Christmas I went way over board for his birthday so be prepared for overload. Christian's Birthday was a lot of fun this year, he woke up to balloons in the hallway of course (thanks Kenna) then we headed down to Disneyland to get his annual pass which was a total mistake. Note to self never go to Disneyland the Monday after Christmas!! It was so crowded so we just got his pass and left. Then he had lunch with his Mom and got to play at Dave and Busters. We then went to the park and we finished the night with Pizza, his favorite dinner, and he got to open presents. Christian never asked for a birthday party and wasn't expecting anything so we decided to throw him a surprise party. We chose to do it on New Year's Eve and we had so much fun. I introduced the game Grunt Piggy Grunt, which was a game we played at all our family parties growing up and it ended up being a huge hit, Dan even loved the game. Christian said he had the best birthday ever and loved all his gifts, it was a fun couple of days.Christian fell over from opening his new gunCan you tell he was a little excited?SurprisePlaying Grunt Piggy Grunt Happy New Year's
Megan didn't enjoy her first New Year's Party But these two sure enjoyed staying up late

Family Parties

We had two big family parties around Christmas time. The first was with Dan's Great Uncle and his family and the second was with My Mom's Brother and Sister and their families. Both parties were a lot of fun with gift exchanges, great food and fun games. The kids loved being with all the kids and we loved being together at Christmas time.
