New Starts

We went home to Michigan for Christmas this year and had such a great time. Everyone's blogs are talking about their holidays so I thought we should probably post about ours too. We got to spend 2 wonderful weeks with our families, and had such a great time. It was a really nice vacation-the perfect amount of time too. Here are a few photos of things we did. While we were there we got to see our friends Jon and Becca.  We were so excited to get to spend a day with them, and had a blast-just like old times! We also got to hang out with my sister Aubry, and her fiance Michael, as well as his family. I'm glad Aubry's in-laws live in Michigan too so we'll probably see her more often.

Other new news...Carson is finally potty training. People kept telling me he would do it when he was ready, but I finally realized that he's been ready for a while...it was me that wasn't ready. I thought it would be this really hard, long, drawn-out process, but it has been fairly easy, so far. The first day was rough, but Sunday he had 2 accidents, yesterday 1, and today none! So we are working on having only one child in diapers-hooray!

Halli is 7 months old-as of Saturday and is doing pretty good. She welcomed in the New Year with a tooth, and her second one looks like it is about to poke through any minute. She is sitting on her own really well, army crawling, and trying to prop herself up to sitting. We took her to the doctor last week and she is a whopping 19 pounds 3 ounces already....and she makes me carry her around all day. I'm not quite sure why I'm not super buff by now. Maybe I should try arm curls while I walk around-that might help get rid of the extra pounds I'm still carrying around from her!













We are all doing well and happy for the coming year, and the exciting things ahead. Hope you are all well and happy too! I wanted to load some more photos, but my computer is refusing to do so-three is all you get for now!

Hey Tiffani! Yeah its true we did win and it was sweet:) I am actually really excited about the picture thing, i think that will be awesome to have. I actually wanted to talk to Ryan about possible making us a frame (cause it would cost me so much to buy one i think) but we will see when we get there. Anyways, yeah i totally forgot when we were talking to you.

just to let you know, Avie loves the lollipop song. I've been singing it to her, and I just went to your blog to hear the music (as I often do), and the song started, and I looked back at her, and she was looking up at me with a big smile on her face. :)
