Happy Birthday

So I'm not doing very good on my New Year's goal to post more on the blog. But, I certainly could not let this day go unblogged.

Tomorrow will be one year since our precious little boys were brought into this world. It's extremely hard to believe that this year has come and gone as quickly as it has. A busy and exciting year it has been.

We let the boys have a birthday cake today. What was supposed to be a small smash cake turned out to be much more. The boys sure didn't mind! They do seem to love cake and icing.

This video gives you an idea of how much fun Bryce and Owen have together. We love their laughs and giggles. They keep us smiling everyday.

Now for some updates:

Bryce had tongue surgery on Friday to clip his tongue since he was tongue tied. He did great and acts as if nothing ever happened. It was not a major surgery, but he did have to be put out for it. He weighed in at a big 16 pounds. We think Owen is about 19 pounds right now.

Both of the boys are doing quite well at the walking behind toys and along furniture. They like to help each other get around and through the gates that we use to keep them some what contained. Dancing and singing is part of their daily activities. They especially love to dance and sing with daddy. Some of their favorite words are: "da da", "D" (for Uncle Dale), "ma", "mom", "hi". They have learned to wave hi and bye and blow kisses.

The new house is coming along great. Dry wall was finished this week and paint will begin next week. We are looking to close sometime early March.

Bryce and Owen were excited to see their new room in the house.

Joe and I are planning our first trip away from the boys. Joe has been given the opportunity to go to the Bahamas compliments of his boss in March. I was hesitant at first, but quickly realized that we could not pass up this opportunity.

One year gone and another one begins. We are looking forward to all of the joys that 2010 will bring us.
