A few pictures for a much needed update....

Our big boy....with his bubba sucker from Auntie Melissa!
I guess his cousins had ring pops and Joshua called them a bubba sucker: when Melissa saw this, she said she just had to buy it :) Joshua has been enjoying it for a couple of days now!! :) Yes, it was that big!
Matthew...well, lets just say that he sits in this seat a lot!
He is our little piggy! He eats anything and everything he sees...
he is enjoying his banana here (as you can clearly see!) ;)
Matthew's new thing is loving to cuddle with us! He will make his way over to either Daddy or Mommy and lay his head down on us :) it is so cute! One day he was lying down on the carpet in the living room so we brought his pillow out and he would lie down right on it!
Celebrating Daddy's birthday!
I said Matthew will eat anything and everything...
well, he especially loves to eat Joshua's food! Joshua is famous for eating a little bit here and there and will leave his snack lying around. This according to Matthew is very convenient! He will eat anything that he sees! I am constantly telling Joshua to put his food up so that Matthew won't eat it...as I am writing this I had to just rescue Joshua's cereal from the food thief!
He said that he was a done his nap...hmmm? I guess not :)
He is in the kitchen right in front of my sink ;)
In am very excited about the years to come....I have two boys that absolutely LOVE music! We always have music on in the house and when I try to practice the piano or special music I get overtaken ;) I love that they are so interested in music! It is a huge part of our lives and we love it too! We look forward to being able to use these guys in special music at church!!! I know that Joshua is already interested in singing, playing the piano, guitar, and trumpet...I am sure there will be more instruments! Matthew loves his xylophone (he goes into the boys room and will pull it out and just play!), piano and I am sure that there will be more instruments he will like when he gets old enough to play them :)
There you have it...a bit of what the boys have been up too! Oh, and Matthew is just about to start walking!!!! He started crawling on New Year's day and then started pulling himself up 2 weeks after that and then about 2 1/2 weeks ago he started pushing everything around :) He is standing by himself (until he realizes ;}). I am working on him, he is soooooo close to just taking off! He is already our wild child...walking...well, I guess he will help me stay in shape LOL!!! He turns 1 in less than a month!!!!

Couples Retreat!!!

Nathan and I were able to go to a couples retreat in February!!!! It was such a wonderful time together! It was our first time to go away for a night with out the boys since Matthew was born. I love this man! He is so special to me!!! We will celebrate 5 years of marriage this May 12th! The Lord has blessed our marriage greatly; we are very thankful for the love that we are able to share! Anyways, enough mushy stuff (I'll save that for our anniversary LOL!!!)
I have more pictures of the boys, yes, just keep looking back....
(This picture isn't from then....I'm still waiting for them...)
