Snow!

We finally have snow! I love the snow! I was wishing and hoping for a white Christmas but that didn't happen!
This past weekend Kayla and Matt came from Portland to visit. Matt and Matt went hunting, Kayla and I got to spend some much needed girl time! Angela also came from Marysville to spend some time with the kids. She graciously watched both kids on Saturday for a few hours so Kayla and I could go to Wenatchee. Monday was Makinsey's 6 month well child check up she is healthy! 18 lbs 6 oz and 26.5 inches. She got 4 shots and did pretty well with them. Tuesday morning Angela left on the train and had an extra little traveler with her. Jacoby went with to spend some time with grandparents in Marysville. So far he has been able to spread his time with nana and grandpa tait, papa dean and grandma Ella, and papa woody and Amma! He has been having fun, but I think I am ready for him to be home! It gets pretty quite around here with a very busy 2 year old!
Matt is at his first basketball game with the 7th grade girls. Hope they will come home with a W! My parents are supposed to be bringing Jacoby back tomorrow and then spend the weekend with us. I am hoping the weather will allow for them to get here safely, once they get here the weather can do what it wants. I just want them here!

Just going about life

I am learning that we lead a pretty boring life. Our week consisted of work, Matt has started coaching junior high girls basketball so that keeps him busy until 6 during the week. I have been watching 2 other kids during the week which is fun and can be a challenge. Jacoby likes to push everything to the limit and press all of my buttons at once! Makinsey is getting closer and closer every day to sitting on her own. She will be 6 months on the 14! A couple pictures of the kids, jacoby eating krum kake and Makinsey smiling at her brother!

New year new shot at blogging...

Happy New Year!
My thought for 2012 is to try and blog once a week! I'm not going to say daily cause I know I will fail so if I say weekly it might happen!
Christmas brought us both sets of grandparents (uncle Juan too!) Brittany's parents got here on wednesday the 21 and Matt's parents got here in the wee hours of the morning on Friday ( they were on the train and the train hit someone in Monroe so that held them up about 4 hours) We enjoyed Leavenworth and Wenatchee with everyone on Friday and then church and soup on Christmas eve. Christmas on Sunday was full of family love and laughter! Matt's parents ( nana and grandpa) and uncle Juan left in the morning on the 27. My parents stuck around and enjoyed some more time with the kids!
My birthday was dec 31 the big 27! We had a nice get together with the Knodels, the Faws, kacey and kiely maybe someday the Kiehns... And Boudia Kayla had to work we missed her. We did a deep fry party (not sure I can eat anything fried for a long time!) The new year was brought in with a bang (Matt's fireworks). We enjoyed our time and hope everyone else did as well! All of our company left on the 1st and we were lazy all day long!
I will do my best to keep everyone updated weekly!
