(VIDEO) Good Morning!

(VIDEO) Silly Boys

Here is a cute little snippet of the kiddos. This is also my first time using YouTube, and I'm still working on trying to get the picture to be a little better quality. But for now ... ENJOY!

Happenings in March

I'm finally caught up in giving "recaps" over the last year and a half ... so now, you are all up to date!

Evan was trying to help Dad take out the trash. Both he and Ayden are strong. They amaze us with what they can carry.

Sweet little Ayden ... he loves to play with this tunnel. The tunnel actually belongs to a tent set, but Ayden just likes to play with this one piece. He hides in it!

Poor Ayden. As you can see, Ayden is sitting patiently on the bottom step of our stairs. He is eagerly awaiting Dad's arrival home from work. Many times throughout the Dad, I hear Ayden asking for "Da Da?" And often come 5 o'clock he makes his way to the stairs and just waits ... watching the door or window for any sight of movement. It's precious!

Cousin Myles and Ayden hiding behind G'ma Wiebe's toy basket.

Ayden, Evan and myself took a trip up to Omaha, NE to visit Aunt Yvette at work. The boys were SUPER busy taking everything in. It was a wonderful change in our routine.

Silly Evan and his true blue eyes!

Silly Ayden ... and his true blue eyes.

February 2010 Recap

Here is a recap of February 2010.

Happy Valentine's Day! Thanks to G'pa and G'ma, Evan got his 1st sucker.

Ayden was a happy camper, but Dad and I were not the most favorite people in the world when we took their suckers away.

Bye - bye Nuks! Ayden was busy studying his Nuk. You see, we cut off the tip, and gave them to the boys. We wanted them to understand that they were "broken" and would no longer work.

Evan was quite curious too. He kept trying to suck on one and then the other ... eventually the realized that those silly ole Nuks just wouldn't do the job anymore. The transition was fairly easy for them ... and thankfully for us.

After a 3 week cold ... the boys were both diagnosed with RSV and bronchitis. This was rather scary for us. We started out giving the boys four breathing treatments a day (as if I weren't busy enough). Ayden put up with the whole process, but he really didn't care for it.

Evan took to it a little better, and thankfully so since he had worse conditions. The breathing treatments took about 15 minutes. Try keeping a toddler still for that long. Ugh!

G'ma King and Evan ... just being silly.

Again ... Evan messing with the Kleenex.

Evan was caught red-handed!

January 2010 Recap

Here is a recap of January 2010.

Evan and Ayden like to snuggle with Mommy before bed.

Here is the mess that Shane came home to after work ...

Here is the culprit. Evan.

One of Shane's co-workers (Justin) had a daughter (Addison) just a few months behind Ayden and Evan. We went over for a quick play date.

One grand day, I turned around and found that Ayden had someone managed to get up on the chair ... an exciting moment for him ... and a very scary one for Mom!

After watching his brother crawl up on the chair ... Evan wanted to do it himself. He made it without much effort, but then Ayden thought it should be his turn again.

Evan not only playing with his toys, but literally ... playing in the toy box!

Evan and Ayden quickly learned that if standing in the toy box, one has more leverage to get up onto the end table ... and from there, one can fling himself onto the couch. What fun!

Aunt Yvette with Ayden.

G'ma Wiebe had a birthday on January 30th ... so we went to help celebrate!

G'ma Wiebe was kind enough to let her grand kids play on the piano ... Ayden loved it!

Evan loved it too!

Making lots of noise ... I mean, music!

And when playing the piano isn't enough, it's another object to crawl on and tackle.

December 2009 Recap

Here is a recap of December 2009.

Ayden and Evan took a trip to Little Panther Preschool to visit Mrs. Cheney.

Here is a family photo taken at the Extended Luff family Christmas (G'ma King's side).

Ayden and Evan LOVE to have their teeth brushed before bed. They eagerly await their turns.

For Shane's 30th birthday, I surprised him with football tickets. But not just any football tickets ... Chicago Bear football tickets! Shane nor I have ever been to a professional football game. I knew this gift would "knock his socks off." And it did!

Here Shane and I are feet away from Soldier Field.

Burrrrr ... it was VERY cold. Wind chill of 9 degrees. But we had a blast, even if we couldn't feel out toes!

Just a silly photo to show you the wind burn we both received from the football game.

Here is a family photo taken at the Extended King family Christmas (G'pa King's side).

This photo of Evan and Ayden was taken at our house when we celebrated Christmas. I just thought this photo was cute because they were sitting back to back.

Now we enter the Wiebe family Christmas gathering (my side). I chose to post this photo just to show the chaos of it all ... all of a sudden we have an instant herd of kiddos.

Cousin Lauren and Aunt Deanne.

The Wiebe Christmas gathering.

G'pa and G'ma Wiebe with all the grand kids (Ayden, Myles, Lauren, Meghan and Evan).

Cousins Myles, Lauren and Meghan (Aunt Deanne's kids).

The blizzard of 2009! Yikes! We were snowed in for about 5 days at my parents' house. The interstate was closed and so were all roads surrounding. I went out to take some photos of their yard, and some of the drifts were 10 feet high!

Just beautiful ... the way God intended it to be.

Aunt Asha and Uncle Jason.

Here is a photo of the King Christmas gathering (Shane's side).
