Gymnastics

Julien started gymnastics a few weeks ago and is loving it! He has SO much energy and it's hard during the winter because we are stuck inside so much so I thought a gymnastics class would be the perfect thing for him to be able to run and jump around and get all his energy out! He loves his class and never wants to leave. Its so fun to watch him try to do all the new "tricks" as he calls them and he is so proud of himself! He runs over to me every few minutes to give me a high 5 and says, I did it!

Take that Hawaii!

Landon and I went out on a date tonight and I was freezing as we were walking from the movie theater to the car and I started to think of Hawaii and was feeling depressed so I started listing off the good things about our life on the mainland...

* I was riding in our brand new car that I LOVE

* It was dark outside when we got in the car and I didn't have to worry about cockroaches coming out and crawling on me in the car

* I came home and ate a cupcake that had been sitting out on the counter for more than 5 secs and didn't have to worry about biting into a cockroach

* I have been on the mainland for over 3 months now and have not seen ONE bug, spider, gecko or anything creepy crawly

* We have free in home babysitters that help with the boys everyday

* We get to see family everyday

* I can drive to any store I want and not have a panic attack thinking about trying to find a parking spot

* I have a garage

* Carpet

* I never have to cook in my old kitchen ever again

OK that's enough I feel better now!

Julien is 3!!!

Julien is 3!!! I still have a hard time believing that I have a 3 year old and that my little guy is growing up so fast! He is 38inches tall and weighs 29lbs. He is FULL of energy and amazes us everyday with the things he learns. He has a really good imagination...its hilarious to listen to him play because he comes up with the most random things. He loves airplanes, movies, running, exploring outside, water and playing make believe anything. He is an extremely picky eater and pretty much survives on cereal, ice cream, grill cheese, juice, yogurt and the occasional fruit. He is potty trained, has outgrown nap time and sleeps in his own big boy bed. His favorite movie is Toy Story so when I asked him what he wanted for his birthday he said, "A Buzz Lightyear cake and pizza." Here are some pics of his Woody Buzz party!

His 1st Pinata...it was a hit!

The next few days after his birthday he would go downstairs looking for more candy

One of his favorite presents...Buzz Lightyear guns

He got to have both grandmas here to help him celebrate...he was in Heaven!

He is still our little Hawaiian boy!

Sledding with Dad

We still have plenty of snow here so we decided to head out early one morning and take Julien sledding. Kai fell asleep in the car so I stayed with him and watched Landon and Julien sled. They had so much fun and I loved watching them. So cute!
