Boys... never a dull moment!!

We enjoyed our time off from extra extracurricular activities, but they are back in full swing!!! Brayden now has 5 days/nights of activities to keep us busy!!! I am also wanting to put Nolan in swim lessons to add to the excitement!!! We've had some crazy weather in January this year with some days in the 50's, and really no snow!! I'm pretty sure Brayden thinks spring started already, he thinks he can lose the winter coat already!!! Nolan loves gloves and hats so he might be sad when spring comes!! 
Nolan is talking up a storm, he's using the potty when he wants to especially in the morning on school days!! He has a morning routine which includes breakfast in the car, and telling mommy every time we get close to daycare that "I'm not ready yet mommy" meaning he's ready to scarf down his breakfast before going inside!! Once we go inside he tells me where he wants to wash his hands, then we talk about our evening plans, so he has something to look forward too!!! Our routine makes drop off smooth and my day much better!! I am the only mom that spends 20 minutes at the daycare each day, but if it works I'll take it!! Nolan's fits are much improved and we can begin to reason with him so times are getting easier!! Brayden wants to go to California this spring so we are trying to decide if Nolan is ready for the flight!!!
Brayden is playing basketball, indoor soccer and still taking ninja class!! He's a busy guy for sure!! He loves sports and all the new clothes and shoes that go along with it!!! He is becoming very fashionable in sports clothing and likes to pick out his own outfits and change 20 times per day!!! He sure is a sports guy!!
Brayden is doing well in school, is reading very well and liking the history part of learning!! He remembers everything he hears or reads so he is reminding Donny and I of things we learned back in grade school!!
These boys definitely keep us on our toes, and never bored!!!

More Christmas Break Fun

These boys are ALL boy and growing faster than I ever imagined!! Brayden can not get enough sports in!! He is very into wearing the perfect clothes and shoes for every sport, and having all the right gear!! He only wears Under Armour, Nike, and Adidas if he has anything to do with it!!! He got 4 pairs of Boy tights for Christmas and we bought him some clearance Nike outfits after Christmas so he is loving coming up with his outfits to wear each day and even more happy he can wear shorts every day!!! He wanted Steff Curry jerseys and shoes for Christmas which he got along with a new Messi jersey!!! I never thought my life would evolve around sports quite this much!!! He starts indoor soccer and basketball in less than 2 weeks and planning has started!!! 
The boys spent a few days with grandma and papa while mommy and daddy worked!! It was a much needed break for Mom and dad and much needed time for the grandparents as well!! They took them to the Catepillar museum and let them spend time with their cousins!!! The boys came home asking to go back!! Nolan even tried getting out of school Friday morning by going to papas!!! Rotten babie
























s for sure, that know how to get what they want!!! 
We are still trying to open all the presents from Christmas!!! Nolan's go to gifts so far are his shopping cart, Melissa and Doug cleaning supplies, and Brayden's Pop the Pig game!! Brayden loves everything but has worn a pair of tights everyday since Christmas!!!
