Boys will be boys

Last night we were giving the kids a bath and Chris thought it would be funny to start making farting noises. Well needless to say Brock thought it was hilarious! Enjoy.

Tough Mudder Las Vegas 2012

A couple of weekends ago, Chris flew to Las Vegas and ran the Tough Mudder with his friend Steve. Here are some pics and a short video of the race. They had a great time and finished in just under 4 hours.

This was the team before they started.

Chris getting ready to jump into the "artic enema". They fill a dumpster full of ice and you have to jump in and completely submerge yourself in it.

The team after they finished and became "Tough Mudders".

Chris and Steve after they got all cleaned up.

Here is the short video. Steve wore a go pro camera for the whole race. The video is actually 55 minutes long but he just shortened it so you can see most of the obstacles.

Addy 2 years Brock 4 months

Today we went to the pediatrician for the kids checkups. Here are the stats:

Addy:

Height: 36 1/2 inches-97% and up (she was off the charts)
Weight: 29 1/4 lbs-80%
Head: 50 cm-97%

Brock:

Height: 26 1/2 inches-93% (and yes he is only 10 inches shorter than his sister)
Weight: 16 lbs 3 oz-75%
Head: 43 1/2 cm-80%

The nurse had to double check Brock's height because she thought she measured it wrong. Its crazy to look back at Addy's stats when she was Brock's age. She only weighed 11 lbs. Its crazy how different your kids are.

Memory Walk

This year for the Alzheimers memory walk Chris' work wanted to "create a buzz" about alzheimers. So Chris took one for the team and dressed up like a bee at the walk. I didnt make it in time to walk with the group from his work but it was still fun to go and see him.

Little Monkeys

I got an add in the mail for Old Navy and they had these cute critter hoodies. So of course we had to ge them. You can't really tell in Addy's picture but there is ears on her hood as well.

Cute kids

 

 

 

Brock has gotten to the stage where he wants to be upright but he can't sit up by himself so we pulled out the walker and he loves it (for short periods of time). Its something new to play with and look at. 

Happy Birthday Addy

 

 

Addy turned 2 on the 18th. We decided that she needed a kitchen for her birthday. So the grandparents helped get accessories for the kitchen.

 

 

Food from Neena and Papa.

 A vacuum from Opa.

 Showing off her awesome posing skills. This girl loves the camera.

 

We filled her room with balloons. She thought it was so funny. She loves throwing them in the air.

 

We decided to just make cupcakes this year instead of having a huge cake for the 3 of us.

 

Happy Birthday Princess! We can't believe that you are already two. We love your sweet spirit and enjoy having you around.
