Playing in the snow!!!

One day, we went to play in the snow and it could have been fun but Alex thought ortherwise. He did not like it and conplained the whole time especially when he felt and had snow on his face. So, we went up and he was still upset for almost a whole hour, well maybe next year, it will be better.

Alex wondering about that white stuff and what is he suppose to do now.

Matt making a snow angel!

What I like about the snow, everything looks so pretty covered with snow.

Bath Time !!!

Alex loves bath time and and getting his hair wet. He sometimes will cry at the end because he want more time, so now he gets one every night before bed. As soon as he hear the water runs, he will come and stand in front of the bathroom door and wait. whenever, he will not stop crying a bath always seen to make him feel better.

A few updates !!!

We haven't been up to much lately, a litlle sick here and there.

Matt started school again and have a busy schedule ( mondays and fridays: he works for 14 hours and still have one class in the morning, and thuesdays and tuesdays: he works from 4 to 12 and school in the mornings. . . So we don't see much of him ) However, we get to see on the weekends and try to make the best of all the litlle time we have together.

Alex have learned the art of sharing, vacuuming, and unplugging things, he loves to share his sippy cup and bunky with Mommy. He's been a litlle sick but looks like he is getting better and he is a pretty happy boy. The orther day, He was in room for long time and when I went to see what he was up to, I found out that he had enptied his drawers and put all his clean clothes on the floor and was asleep on top of them ( Funny kid)I am guessing, he needed somewhere soft and confortable to sleep after a busy day.

As for me , not much to say but that I am doing fine, just a litlle sick. For those who don't know, we are expecting our second child and are pretty excited about it. This one seen to be a lot easier on me , expect for the fact that I am not getting enough rest and my body is a litlle too tired sometime to keep up with Alex. I don't know yep are far along I am, but will let you know as soon as I find out.

Well, that pretty much what doing at the Vinton and below are a few pictures of Alex that my sister took while she was here.

Just precious!!!!

Alex new evil look !!!!

Santa!!!!

Do we know each other?

Our Christmas letter!!!

Merry Christmas loved ones! This year, we have found ourselves in a situation that many of you understand. Let us paint you a picture to help rouse up some good ol’ memories... Our floor is littered with toys and cheerios; there is a happy squawking and thumping of feet throughout the student apartment at BYU; and there are two very tired, but happy parents.
Suze is the reigning undefeated champion of Mario Party, and in her spare time occupies herself studying under the zen masters of scrapbooking (no better place than Provo!). She feels that her purpose in life has been fulfilled by teaching Alex to dance. Apparently, she also feels like dancing is a skill found lacking in her male counterpart… ***cough*** Anyhow, she loves the snow, and has been living life to its fullest this past year.
Matt still believes he is a superhero and has resumed his ninja training (hiyaaa!). Much to Suze’s surprise he has even found a friend in the process. Now, Matt can be found throughout the week training in Shotokan Karate. Unfortunately, he hasn’t yet found a friend who enjoys talking about stocks, bonds, options, and economics as much as he does.
For Alex, this past year has represented the vast majority of his life! He has learned to rollover, crawl, walk, run, dance, feed himself, amuse himself… wreak havoc, and flirt with girls. Alex generally has no fear of strangers, but this past month we discovered his one arch enemy, Darth Vader. We, also, discovered that Alex had a secret girlfriend (…keeping secrets from his mommy…). One Sunday, a cute little girl just came and stood face to face with him and plunked a big kiss on his lips and even came back for a second (that’s my boy!). We enjoy his wonderful spirit and his tendency to scream like a little girl, what a great kid.
We hope you saw a little bit of what our year was like, and learned a little something about our family. Once again, have a merry Christmas and a happy New Year!

Merry Christmas Mom & Dad

A step to independancy. . .

Alex is learning a whole lot. He finally figured out how to get of the couch without hurting himself, now he does go head first and land on the floor anymore. He is officially a walker and even try running now. Sometimes, if the door to our room is open, he will always try to run to get to the room before someone sees him and closes the door.

And now, he is self feeding and will sometime refuse to eat from a spoon with the my help or Matt's, until we put it on his tray, so he could put it in his mouth.

Enjoying a hot dog made with lot of LOVE. . .

He even knows how much love I put on that hog dog, notive the big smile!!!LOL
After he was done,he threw the plate on the floor, so we still have to work on that . Now, I am just looking forward to the day, he will clean up his room. I am probably dreaming, but a girl got to dream, right?
