Brody told us he needed to go poop in the toilet yesterday. We are so proud of our 2 year old! We haven't really been working on him very much because I thought I'd wait until after the holidays, but this is a good sign.

Happy Birthday to my sis...the most beautiful Peace Corps Volunteer ever!!! You have such a big heart and so much love to share with the world, we love you! When you are done with your work...Africa will never be the same :) Have a blessed day! Can't wait to see you in Sept.!
The boys love the beach and could play there all day! They were busy, busy, busy digging their hole...which later became their own personal pool. :)
We are super excited about seeing Hillsong United on Monday at the Nokia Theatre in L.A. Monday night. They are a praise and worship band from Australia and they are amazing. I know it will be an experience we will never forget. Thank you Jesus!!!
* Also, we are so excited about my BFF being pregnant. It has something we have prayed about for a long time. We know that our Lord has perfect timing for everything and we are just so thankful. So yeeeeeeah! I am gonna be auntie...sort of :)

Bro's Shiner
Proud of his first shiner
This weekend, we had a crazy cell that passed through, and it dumped tons of snow in the area. Russ was working in the Antelope Valley and ended getting stuck because they closed the freeways. We planned to stay the weekend at his parents one night for his dad's birthday and then off to my parents who so kindly agreed to watch the boys for us so we could go on a Valentines Day date. In my desperate attempt to not get stuck in my house with the boys, I frantically got everyone's things packed for the weekend and loaded up the car so that we could attempt to get out of town. After saying a prayer in the car with the boys, off we went (slowly) to rescue our daddy. I got near the freeway and sure enough there was a huge line of cars just waiting, I saw that the offramp was closed and was fully expecting to turn around and go back home. I called Russ and he told me to drive down the road to the next exit. I got there and saw another line which was not as crazy as the first onramp, but overhead saw the snowplows doing their job, so I decided to get in line. After about 10 min. and getting snow and gravel dumped onto my windshield from overhead, they slowly let our line onto the freeway. Victory! I was not gonna be spending Valentine's Day without my Valentine.
While the snow is pretty and fun to play in, we are definitely ready for spring and summer to get here.
