Sorry we haven't posted in a while. We've been so busy lately having fun with the boys! I will be sure to post some pics today of the cute little men.

Two weeks ago Andon was jump roping for heart disease at school. They also had a dance competition and Andon won!!!! His prize was a bag of skittles and he was SO excited. He loves to dance and sing but once he sees you he quick stops. One of his favorites is still Michael Jackson.

Weston decided to keep crawling out of his crib a few weeks ago. We had to convert the crib into a big boy bed at 9pm at night. hahaha. We were worried he would try to crawl out head first when we were sleeping and hurt himself. It's still a challenge keeping him in his bed and he likes to get up about 2:30am but at least we know he won't get hurt getting out of bed. The other night Weston kept yelling daddy and Kevin couldn't find him. He finally found him sitting in Andons bed with him holding his hand watching Andon sleep! Adorableness!!! :O)

The boys have really bonded more so lately. Andon freaks out if he thinks something is going to happen to Wes or if he thinks we are leaving him at the store.  Usually when start walking and saying bye bye so that he follows us. Andon just freaks out about it.

Weston is still up to tackling Andon non stop. It's too funny!! Payback!!  ;o)

Andon also had his first school dance and had a blast!! He even got in on the train :O) He was worried I would kiss him infront of Emily. hahaha. I made sure to be cool for him....hahaha.

Well I will post some updated pics now!! :O)

Look at this amazing cake Andon made me for my birthday all by himself!!! He said he only sneezed on it once but covered it with frosting! His cousin was going to help him but I guess he turned into the Cake Boss and wanted to do it himself. He remembered I told him that Frosty the Snowman was my favorite movie as a kid so that's why he made me a snowman. He said....it's the one from the movies. This cake made my day!!! It's the best cake I've ever had!! We are so proud of him for doing such an amazing job. Here his teacher says he needs improvment in art. I can't wait until report cards come out on Wednesday becaues if there is any feedback about heart again she will be getting a email along with this picture  ;o) Andon may not have the best artist ability but his imagination is huge! That's what makes his pictures so great. He really thinks about what everything is in them and makes them so detailed. We think he's a great artist!! I couldn't of asked for a better gift! Andon and Weston dug there fingers allover the bottom of this cake once the candles were blown out :O) They both love the frosting. Andon ususally just eats the frosting but Weston eats it all :O)

Weston found the M&M's at Aunt Ellies house!!! He LOVES M&M's. We have a M&M's machine that you put money in that we got for Andon years back. Weston always yells MONEEEE. He knows the machine takes money to give out M&M's. It's too cute! Sometimes he wakes up yelling MONEE. We often have to hide the machine because all he wants to do is eat M&M's  :O)

Andons first Northern 24 12" - 1/22/12

Andon got his first big fish!! He really wanted to get a shark! He was scard this one was going to bite his fingers off. His favorite part of icefishing was making fish soup in the holes :O)  He discovered that you shouldn't stick your dry mittens in the wet holes. Good thing I packed 3 pairs of mittens and daddy brought hand warmers. He went with the boys and our friend little boy Jacob. They had fun hanging out in the turkey blind to have snacks. They also got 4 wheeler rides on the lake and thought that was pretty cool. He hope to go again with cousin AJ!! 

1/2/12 - Does this hat not fit him perfectly!?!?  What a hammie.

1/2/12 - Andon on the jelly belly tour.

1/2/12



We went on a jelly belly tour the last day before we were back to work and school. Weston looks a little tired but he had fun too. Andon loved the 7up jelly beans and Wes....well he liked em all  :O)

12/24/11 - This is how Andon went to bed on Christmas Eve. He is such a night owl and gets up so darn early. We were so tired and thought he would never fall asleep...hahaha.

12/24/11

Smiley little man. Weston was so happy to get his own iphone. Yep...mama doesn't even have one! Uncle Vinny gave him his old iphone and put all these cute apps for kids. He had his own teddy bear case and then a fisher price case so he can't break it. He is in heaven. Now he doesn't have to take Andons ipod and run. He loves taking it to bed. There is a bear that reads him stories. We also had a blast with the helicopter Uncle Vinny got for Andon. It's controlled by his ipod. It's good to know someone that knows their electronics. The boys seem to love that stuff.

12/18/11

It's hard to tell but Andons hair is full of glitter. He loved it. ...hahaha  ;o) Alexa always felt left out being the only girl but Andon always wants to play with her lately. He loves playing Monster High dolls with her. He said they are not just for girl because the dolls are vampires and werewolfes  ;o) 

12/18/11

Andon helped his little brother open his presents this year. Weston didn't really want to open anything. He had a blast picking up all the paper and throwing it away. Little stinker. Maybe next year he will love to rip them open. 

12/18/11 Christmas at Kevins moms

Andon wanted a polar bear really bad....a real one. This was the closest we could find  :O)  He also wanted to look like a porcipine so daddy did his hair. Later that night he let his cousin Alexa put Monster High glitter in his hair. It was tooo cute. He has to get his fix from his cousin since he doens't have a sister to check out all the girly stuff. Andon got the Skylander Wii game and all the figures he wanted so bad. 

Hello there handsome!!! You are a little ball of sunshine! Yesterday I was making cake pops and brownie pops for the kids teachers. I'm not sure why I tried making them when I was home alone with the boys but I did ;o)  The first time I turned my back Weston was coloring on the table with a crayon. After that he played with his brother for a while. I ran out of room to put these cake balls so I put some on the kitchen table (waiting for the chocolate covering to dry). I look over and theres Weston, shoving them in his face. Chocolate everywhere!!! Allover the table, his face, the chair, clothes. All I could do is laugh. He was looking at me like....well....if your going to be dumb enough to leave them where I can get them.....then I'm going to eat them. He is a litle cakeball freak  ;O)  Gata love him though. He's so darn jolly.

ROOOOAAARRRR! Don't let that scary face fool ya  :O)  He's the cutest little monster!!!
We have this elf on the shelf that Andon absolutely loves. Well every morning he gets up and looks for where the elf moved to (trying to remember to move that darn elf is hard...haha). Anyways, Andon was pretty sassy in the morning. He was pretty naughty to Grandpa and I. I thought I would try to leave out some candy coal and see if that helped him lose his sassy mouth. Well he came home from school and I said to him that his elf went to go talk to Santa when he was at school and told him about the morning we had. He saw the coal and started laughing hysterically and was like.....this isn't real coal this is chocolate. He was so happy he got chocolate coal. We laughed for a few minutes pretty hard. That sure backfired on me...haha. It was worth a shot. Andon is to smart to fool.
Even though he is making a scary face here he is still as cute as can be. I can't wait to give him the Sonic walkie talkies for Christmas. Actually Weston got them for him  ;o)  He picked out some Cars and Cars soap for Weston all by himself. Too cute!!! Wes absolutely loves Cars!!! Looks like we will be having a Cars bday soon for him  ;o)

What are you doing with your St. Nick candy before dinner cuteness?  We found Weston eating his candy right before dinner...haha. He was in Andons room, maybe he thought he could blame his brother...haha. They have become so close lately. It's way to cute. I hope they continue to have that special bond forever. However Andon does want a few more brothers he said....haha. Andon seems to have a soft side for Wes now. Not that he didn't before but it's like he really watches out for him and they play together all night. Cutie pies!!

Christmas concert 2011 ~ K4

Andon sang Angel Band and We Wish you a Merry Christmas. They even did sign language to We Wish you a Merry Christmas as they sang. We were so proud of him!!!  He's the cutest kid in his class :O) I made cake pop, cookies and mini cupcakes for his class after. On the way home he told me my cookies tasted like tacos.....maybe I should of taste tested those.....hahaha. Wes was entertaining the crowd too! He was dancing like crazy. We had to give him a sucker so he would stay by us otherwise he is a runner big time. We tried to get his pick but we had the big lens on so it was too blurry. He was might cute too. He was walking the isle waiving at everyone.  We can't wait for Christmas!!! Andon wants to sleep in the livingroom and wait for Santa....hopefully Santa will be sneaky ;o)  Andon changes what he's into from day to day so hopefully Santa heard the important things. Wes is really into Cars, block, books and legos so he's easy this year.

(The kid on the left behind the microphone is Jonah, we hear about him everyday!!!, he wants to do everything Jonah does.....lol...even hot or cold lunch). Andon will be going to a new school and finishing all of his grade school there next year. We don't have a K4 in our area so that's why we sent him to a private school this year. All of his friends from his daycare will be giong there (the public school). He gets to go to summer camp with all of them before school (K5) starts so that will be good. I was worried about switching schools on him. Summer camp will be so fun (it's at his old daycare/school). He will get to go on 3-4 field trips a month. He will only be going 3 days during the summer but he loves it there. When we drop off Weston he has to go visit all of his "old" friends. I can't believe how fast he's growing up!! Both of them are!

Andon before his Christmas concert (12/13/11). He is so darn handsome!!!! He did a great job!!!

Weston LOVES bath time. (taken 12/5/11, 18mos) Sometimes he goes in the bathroom and goes nuts to get in the tub. He's trying to talk so much more now. He tries to sing scoobie scoobie doo and it's the cutest thing ever. Weston is really into copying everything Andon does. They pretty much play together all night. Sometimes Weston likes to play with his cars alone for a break. Westons favorite toy is cars, while Andon changes from day to day  ;o) Weston is really turning into a big boy. He's getting so independent. This morning he was eating his cereal all by himself, spoon and all. While I love to see them grown up I wish I could slow it down. I love that Weston is getting a little older though so him and his brother can play. Andon has been patiently waiting. When we wrestle at night time I think Wes is the ring leader. He doesn't hold back and just runs and flies on us. It's hilarious. He has such a bubbly personality and his smile is so precious. Weston has had no ear infections since his ear tubes (yay!). He was just in to the doctor and he weighed 28lbs!! He's not that far from Andon...hehehe. Andon is a little over 40" and can't wait until he's 42" so he can go on the black anacanda in the Dells.

The worlds cutest 5 year old!! (taken 12/5/11). Andon had his first date last weekend. He his head over heals for a older girl. He loves and wants to marry Clydessa which is his cousin Alexas friend (she's 9). She came over to pick him up, funny thing is Andon had to ride in a carseat for his first date. He went to hang out at grandma and grandmas with the girls. He helped them with their Monster High project for school. Later I got a call asking if he could sleep over. We went to drop off his overnight bag and saw he was eating a cousins sub.....ham/cheese and pickles. He normally eats meatball subs and only eats the meatballs out of them. Guess who ordered ham/cheese with pickles....yep...Clydessa. Later that night he asked her if he could get her a bowl of icecream. A few days later we were in the car and he told me Clydessa was being mean. I asked why was she mean. He replies....well....she was acting like she didn't even have a boyfriend and she does.....it's ME!!! I laughed so hard. Andon is the funniest little boy I know. Weston is starting to be just as funny too  ;o)  They definately entertain us. The next night at dinner he asked if he could spend his $6 on a girl from school. What a ladies man....hehehe.

Boys being boys.....what big muscles!!

We hope you had a great Thanksgiving. We have so much to be thankful for!! These amazing boys are the center of our lives and make us so happy!!! We are so grateful....everyday!!  Andon likes to be wrapped up like a snug bug in a "rug". When Kevin was done he kissed him. Then Weston kept kissing him too. It was too cute! They play together all the time now. Andon wants bunk beds so bad so I told him then they would have to share a room. He said...ok...but when Weston is 2 because then he'll be a toddler. We will have to put Weston in a bed soon because I think he's pretty close to being able to crawl out of his crib. He's such a monkey.

Watching youtube together. Andon is really into the video  ;o)  (Andon 5, Wes 18mos)

Wes is the dancer of the family. Everytime he hears music he goes to town dancing. He's so funny with his shoulder moves. He really gets into it.

Andon loves to watch toy reviews on youtube. Recently he started letting me record them and wants me to all the time. Before I would catch him doing them and he would get to embarassed. This is one of my favorites. I love when he says.....you best pop this open. He's such a creative kid.

Weston having fun at the camp fire (10/14/11, Pride of America Campground)

Andon with Gina's birthmom (Donna) when we were camping. (10/14/11)

I got my first big boy cup at McDonalds. I love to drink out of straws like all the big kids. I also love to steal a bun off of mamas burger. I love bread!!!

Fish eyes. We got a new camera and were playing with it. Andon thought this was sooo funny.

11/8/11 Today Wes gave grandpa a fat bloody lip again. Just in time for him to go to his dentist appt. Weston is in the stage of throwing things and grandpa seems to be the target. Today it was a block and the other day it was a car. We're working on that ;o) Last night I was wrestling with Andon and Weston was laughing hysterically. He decided to help his brother out and keep chucking his nuk at me. Silly boy. Those boys love to wrestle!! It's so cute that Andon is taking Weston under his wing now. He actually said he would like 100 more brothers...hahaha. Weston makes our dinners so much fun. He sure lights up the room. He's always smiling/laughing. It's so cute that he copies everything his big brother does. We are looking forward to Christmas this year w ith the boys. Weston will really be into it I think. I'm curious to see what he will do with Santa this year. Last year he didn't make anything of it. He was still the best Christmas present ever!!! Both of the boys are. We are so thankful we have them in our lives. They so speical to so many people.


11/7/11 This morning I was getting Andons backpack/thermos ready for school and I gave him clean clothes and clean underwear. I told him to make sure he changed his underwear. He came home and dropped his pants right away for grandpa. Oooops, he wore two pair of underwear to school. He put the clean ones right over the dirty ones. He's done that before. Too funny! I bet he was waiting all day to get home and take a pair off.
Tomorrow report cards come out. Andons first real report card ;o) Conferences are Thursday so this should be interesting. They get sent home with yellow slips if they do something they shouldn't and red is "really naughty" as Andon would say. Well so far this year Andon has had 5. Some of them are rediculous. While we appreciate the teacher telling us we don't beleive he should get in trouble again at home after getting in trouble at school. We do talk about them and what was wrong. The other day he got one because they were sorting m & m's and he put some in his pocket. When the teacher asked him he said he didn't know they were in his pocket. So we got a note home saying that he was lying. I was a little defensive of her calling him a "liar". I don't understand why you would let 4 and 5 year olds count m & m's and not eat them?? Two other kids didn't get caught so Andon couldn't understand why he got caught and they didn't. I ended up emailing the teacher about it and we have to discuss it at conferences. Poor Andon ran in the house and said....hold on...I have to throw something away before you look in my back pack. Rotflmao. It was funny. They are starting to affect him negativly and he's not liking school. Then he came home with a "white slip" and he was sooo excited that he got a "white slip". He's like...hurry up and read it....he was soooo proud. How could I tell him it was just a line he had to memorize for school....hehehe. I think the yellow slips are overused in his class. He got another one for yelling in the hall because there were spiders for halloween decorations. We just reminded him not to talk in the hall. Today he wanted to go to school looking like shark boy so I geled his hair standing up all over. Hopefully mama doesn't get a yellow slip for that....hahahaha. Hopefully the teacher will let up a little on these slips. These kids are too little to dislike school. At least send them a good slip once in a while then. I can picture Andon figuring out to get rid of them on the bus before he gets home...hahaha. He's so smart. He's always been ahead of all the other kids. He may not be the best in art and working on writing but he's sure a smart kid!! Handsome little stinker too!!

Boys will be boys. We have wrestling matches most nights with the whole family :O) It's so fun. Wes is starting to get the upper hand lately with Andon. It's too cute.

Bathtime fun! They usually soak the floor  :O) (10/2011)

Uh oh!! (10/25/11)

These two are attatched at the hip from day one. They sleep together every night  ;o) (10/28/11)

Was I not suppose to hop in the tub with my clothes on and daddys flashlight?? I took my shoes off at least.  (10/30/11)

Our little librarian on the hayride. (9/2011)

Andon hanging out picking apples :O)  He's such a happy boy!!! Cute one too :O)  (9/2011)

The kids at the apple orchard. Apple picking was so much fun. I'm not sure why the picture won't turn. (9/2011)

What a bunch of handsome little guys. They play so nice together now. Well they wrestle like crazy but they both love every minute. It's so cute to watch them bond now. They are definately buddies. Weston copies everything Andon does. It's hilarious!! (10/2011)

Wes didn't feel so good so I stayed home with him. We had to run to the store for some tylenol and a few things. He kept putting his blanket on his head if we got near the freezer section. awwww...cutie.

Andons cousins slept over after his bday party at the house. We carved pumpkins and made a mess. I had made angry bird balloons but they sank after I put tape on them. So we sucked out the helium and his cousins put the angry bird faces on theirs  :O)  Wes didn't make it up to the pumpkin part of the night.

Wes LOVES cars. He even loves reading daddys car magazines  ;o) (10/2011)

Wes shared his brothers morning birthday cupcake (10/8/11)

Andon after he got out of bed on his birthday. We sang Happy Birthday!! (10/8/11)

Andon had his 5th birthday at Chuck E. Cheese and had a blast. His favorite part he said was the ticket blast booth and when Uncle Vinny came. He won over 800 tickets and got a angry bird and slinky he destroyed in minutes  ;o) I can't believe our little man is 5. He was starting to get a cold and told us his voice was changing because he was 5. Then asked us to start calling him Fred. What a character!!

We took our cute little doggie trick or treating with us this year :O) (Wes, 17mos, 10/30/11). He didn't care about the candy. One house had one of those little kids bubble cars. Well Wes tried to get in and take it for a ride. Too cute.

Andon was The Beast from Wolverine for Trick or Treat. We went trick or treating with his cousin and had a fun time. We were able to get out there before the rain came. (10/30/11, 5yrs old)

Weston with his cousin Alexa at the pumpkin farm. He likes to say....ohhhhhhh alot. (17 mos - 10/2011)

Andon and his cousin AJ at the pumpkin farm (10/22/11)  We had so much fun.
