Family Pictures November 2011

 Brindy 6 1/2

Tage 4 1/2

 Cohen 20 months

 This is my favorite! I love Cohens cute cry face!

We had our family picture taken in November.  They turned out really cute!  I was going to send out Christmas cards but ran out of time.  Some day I will have enough time for Christmas cards! Anyways here are a few I loved.  We didn't get a ton of pictures where Cohen wasn't crying! It was freezing and he was tired, which is not a good combination!

WE'RE BACK!

So 6 months of so ago I had a mishap with diet coke and my mac and haven't had a computer for that long!!!  My sister, Erin, is having a baby in a couple months and I get to babysit her til she gets done teaching for the year.  So anyways Erin gave me her computer in exchange for babysitting! I think I got the better deal.  We have been super busy!  Sad Christmas is over but excited for what this year will bring us! I haven't gotten any of my pictures downloaded yet so I will do another post of what's been going on the last 6 months!

Tage's Preschool Graduation/Kangaroo Zoo

We love you Tager!

Ms. Brenda and all the BOYS:)

Eating snack

Kangaroo Zoo

Tage and his buddies Colby and Adam

Watching a cute movie Ms. Brenda made of the whole year.

Tage just finished his first year of preschool.  He has done so well and loved every second of it.  Ms. Brenda gave him the award of being the most playful.(SHOCKER:) Tage does love to play and she said he always shares with all the other kids.  He has been in a class of 6 boys so he has had an absolute blast.  He will miss his friend Colby next year!  He has had fun having a buddy he new before.  For his graduation they sang songs and danced for all the parents.  Then today for his last day of school we went to Kangaroo Zoo in North Salt Lake.  It was a BLAST! Tage and Cohen both loved it.  It is for sure something we will do again.  It was a great way to end such a fun year at preschool.  Tage made lots of new friends and learned lots of new things! Cant wait for it to start again in the fall...

Cohens Birthday Party(ies)

I only have pictures from one of Cohens three birthday parties!  He had quite the first celebration with all his birthday parties.  First we had one with my family for Cohen at our house and that was his first cake experience.  He got spoiled with lots of fun presents from his aunts and uncles and grandparents.  As you can see he LOVED his birthday.  He liked the cake, he loved the presents!  I cant believe he is 1!!!  He has been such a fun little guys.  I still miss him being a little cuddly baby.  Day after day he gets a little harder, a little more personality, and a lot more independence.  He is such a fun loving little guy.  He loves playing with Tage all day and following him around.  Tage will be sleeping and he will go to Tages door and bang on it because he wants Tage to get up to entertain him.  Cohen definitely thinks he is a big boy too.  We love this little(BIG) guy.

Cohen's First Birthday Pictures

One of my old friends I used to do hair with took these pictures of my boys and they turned out great! Despite it being freezing outside, and lets face it....taking pictures of 2 kids is a nightmare!! Anyways they turned out great! Love my cute boys.  Most days:)

CRUISE

                                                                       Allen Boys

                                                         Bret and Cindy

I am so far behind on any updates!  I feel like the last few months have flown by and been totally crazy and busy!  We went on our cruise the end of Feb. It was so much fun.  We went to St. Thomas, St. Marten, Princess Cays, and Grand Turk.  The weather was amazing.  It was so warm and sunny everyday.  We laid out, ate a ton, shopped, and had a good time with all the Allens.  We missed the boys so much, but it was so nice to sleep and relax! Here are a few pictures!

Glad January is OVER!!!!

I used to be obsessed with blogging but now I have pretty much gotten over that and it has now become a chore! Haha.  So...January 7th TJ got laid off.  Major bummer.  We have been living the emotional rollar coaster of being unemployed(which sucks) and working our butts off to pay bills!  Tj had worked for Transwest CU for several years and it was pretty shocking when he got laid off.  I started working a little bit more just to cover some things and for the last month I feel like I have been running around like crazy...He got a job a couple weeks ago at a company he used to work at and that 2 of his younger brothers work at as well.  This is his second week and he seems to really like it!  It has been a good change and will be a little more money then before( so we definatly cant complain!)  I think he will really enjoy working there and wont miss that bank at all!  We are getting ready to leave on our cruise next week and are so excited!! Cohen is such a sweetie, to make it so I won't miss him as much he has been pure HELL lately.  He is only thinking of me though...right?? :)  We will be gone for 8 days!  More then anything I really just want to SLEEP.  You know you are lame and have kids when you look forward to just sleeping longer then 3 hours at a time and past 7 every morning! WOHOO!  Anyways, thats about all thats going on with us...very eventful getting laid off and getting a new job in 5 weeks!:) So heres to a better FEB! Ill post on our cruise in a few weeks! :):)
