A Year in Review... A Year to Look Forward to!

Yes, I am at home at 10:00 on New Years Eve... I let my boys stay up till 9 tonight and that was to late, by 8:45 Arlo was breaking down.  So, the boys are in bed and I thought... what would be better than posting 1 last post before the new year while watching Dick Clark's New Year's Countdown.

In 2011...
Arlo started talking and has not stopped!
Cohen has learned to crawl, walk and run.
We moved out of the parents house and move into a little house in East Phoenix.
Arlo went camping, ice skating, rode a quad, went on water slides and roller coasters.
Cohen is now giving and blowing kisses, mimicking words, making shooting and car noises, puts his finger to his lips and says 'sssss,' throws away his diapers and everything else.
Tim has gone back to school and started in a new position at his work.
Arlo learned to jump off diving board, ride a tricycle and balance bike, play hockey, soccer and football.
Cohen loves to show off for the camera and pose with a beautiful 'cheese' face! Uses signs for please and milk and climbs non-stop.
I've been a stay at home mom and a daycare provider for 3 other little ones.
2011 has been so busy, and our boys are growing up way to fast.  They have learned so many new things (this list is puny compared to what has really happened!) and continue to amaze us every day.

Here are some random pics of our boys in 2011.



Our new cat... for the night!

Arlo was showing us his hurt finger in this pic.




Zupas, one of my fav restaurants, decided to open right next to our house!!!!

This is the cheese face!

This is the sign for please.

2012... please slow down!!!  OR... Give me more hours in the day and an extra day in the weekend!!! Please. And. Thank You.
