On to another week!

Well, another week is over and a new one begins! We had a thoroughly busy weekend, with youth on Friday, Laser Quest on Saturday and church on Sunday! We can never say we are bored. There is always something to do or get done!
Tyler and I have been helping out at youth on Fridays for a while now. We really enjoy those Friday nights with the teen! You never know how old you are until you chase around a bunch of teenagers who have a lot more energy than you do! We took on organizing a fundraiser! It's a Valentine's Dinner and Entertainment night! If you want tickets let me know.... Ha ha! The youth will be helping prepare the meal and serve the meal, and they will be the entertainment too! I have had so much fun, so far, planning for it! I just have a few more small details to take care of ( or make sure someone will take care of) and I think I will be able to enjoy decorating and planning!
Tyler is "helping" too. Well to the best of his ability....

Our boys, aside from growing, are learning a bunch of new things! Ethan pretends to hide himself, by covering his eyes, when we say " where's Ethan?". He thinks it's quite humorous! Zacharie plays that game with him too! Zacharie has started to learn to write the letters of the alphabet! My Grandma Braun bought him a phonics learning book, and in it you have to trace the letters that spell a word. So he was doing that, tracing "b" then "u" then "g", and he said "BUG!" He then did it again with "d" then "o" then "g" and said "DOG!" Now let me make it clear... we weren't helping him, and there were no pictures on the page to indicate what the letters spell!!! He's so smart!!!

I will get going now. Lots to do, as always!

Happy New Year!

Well a year has come and gone.... So much has happened since the beginning of last year! Christmas 2008 was especially exciting for us! We did our own Christmas Dinner, which I thought would be horribly complicated, but it wasn't! Both our boys were so excited for Christmas, they wanted to open presents pretty much the whole month! Christmas Eve was very exciting. Zacharie sang "Away in a Manger" at the Christmas Eve service at our church. It was very funny! He was so excited to sing, and then when he got up there, he was very quiet, until everyone clapped for him and then he clapped and laughed!
The boys are growing so fast! Everyone says it's time for another one!! Well we have heard your request, but we are not expecting any new addition any time soon! So please stop asking!! ( Ha ha)
But like I said our boys are getting big! Zacharie is almost 4, and is 43" tall, and is 44.5lbs! Ethan is 1 1/2, and is 33" tall and weighs 33lbs!
Zacharie has impecible speech for his age, he always has a "new" big word! Lately his new big word has been "proclaimation"! And he uses it in context too!
Ethan has just started to talk. It's so funny with him, he understands perfectly if we tell him to do something, and he can talk, he refuses to! His newest words are "tickle, achoo, and thanks". We are trying to get him to talk more, especially saying "please".
Tyler and I are doing well. We are currently looking for a new "home". We are hoping to purchase something, but with the market being the way it is, and with zero down-payment gone, we may have to rent for another year. We are praying that we will find something affordable really soon, as the house we are in, has massive issues and we would like to be moved out before spring thaw....
Tyler is still at Winroc, hauling drywall. It's amazing that they are still fairly busy.

We are very excited for this weekend, as we are taking our boys out to Dallas Valley for the church's annual Family Fun Day. We go tobogganing, on sleigh rides, and just have a blast!
Well, I think I will go finish cleaning my house...
