Something New.....and Look Who's Two

I know, I know all you serious Frost bloggers out there........"it has been forever."

In a nutshell. Here is what we have been up to....

DREW
Turning two. Hard to believe this handsome little "man" is already two.
He talks like crazy, is FULL of energy, loves all things boy: like trucks, airplanes, outside and EATING rocks (still), and loves his brother Isaac. Sleeps every night with his "entourage of stuffed animals and blankets. He is already a junk food junkie who loves all things: candy, cookie, cracker and pop, and chicken nuggets and french fries.

Happy Birthday DREW!!!

ISAAC
Started pre-school. Still loves trains and garbage trucks, visiting Grandpas & Grandmas, riding in dad's truck, music, and salad. Enjoys sleeping in his new "firetruck" bed. Is learning how to write his letters and color in the lines.

JARED
Working, working, working and working ALOT. Maybe because of some deadlines, maybe to help pay for these........

a new TRUCKand a trip to Brazil

Oh, and he still managed to squeeze time in for his second Marathon. He ran the St. George Marathon at a blazing speed of 3:05:35 (3 hrs 5 mins) which qualifies him to run the Boston Marathon in April!! What a stud!!
CAROLEE
Being the mom, cleaning the house, trying to exercise, chasing the boys. Trying to decide: go straight or stay curly (the hair). Wishing I had more time for: pedicures, scrapbooks, cleaning out closets, decorating, and even blogging.

STRAIGHT?CURLY?

Maybe, just maybe you'll hear from me again before March 2010.....

Happy Birthday Isaac

Wow! It is hard to believe this baby boy is already 4 years old today!!

Happy Birthday ISAAC! You are such a fun, sweet boy. We love you!

Time flies.....

I intend to update our blog ALL the time but somehow it always makes it to the bottom of the to-do list or maybe it is because I really don't get past the first two things (sigh)!!

Here is some of our happenings the last few weeks:

Shaggy got his 1st real haircut (our first attempt in October just ended up a cry fest).

It only cost me about $17 w/tip (yikes - he only really got a trim around the ears and back of his neck) but we had to go to the special kids haircut shop....equipped with videos to watch, cars to sit in and suckers to make it all possible!!


Drew got another nickname...compliments of his pediatrician: Mr. Precocious.
Isaac happened to get pink eye (and then Drew and then me; but that is another story) on the same day I had Drew's 15 month check-up scheduled. While the Dr. was checking out Isaac, Drew comes up to me and says: "I want a cracker!" The pediatrician turns to me stunned and says, "He just said, I want a cracker, right?" To which I reply: "yep"! After quite a long laugh from the doctor he tells me: "That is the most precocious 15 month old I have seen." To which I reply: "Wait until he tells you he wants a 'cookie'...or even better, throws his food off his tray at you and then says...'Nah, I want a cookie.'" I personally think of him more as Mr. Audacious!

Here is a clip of just a few of his words. I have been following him around for WEEKS trying to get his "I want" phrases or "I throw" phrases on the video but as is customary he just won't perform for the camera!

Drew can say: blanket, bottle, cracker, cheese, cookie, juice, Isaac, Mom, Dad, Drew, Grandpa, Jesus, Up, ball, throw, car, hot, waffles, this, shoes, book and nah (for no). He is a jabber box!!

Peek-A-Boo anyone???

Other notable Drew moments this past month include: learning how to open doors and climbing up on the table; which for some reason did NOT evoke alot of excitement out of mom!!


We got some really cute Valentine's pictures of the boys done at Target....but these taken at home are my favorite:

Nothing says "I Love You" like sharing your heart sucker with your brother, right!!
(And Jared always wonders why when one gets sick the other will also! I do try, but when you turn around and see this you know it is a lost cause).

Isaac and mom had their first "date" and it even ended up on Valentines Day. We went to see Thomas & Friends at the Cox Pavilion. Isaac LOVED it.
He is really into Thomas right now. Unfortunately, no cameras where allowed inside :(

I got some on my phone camera, but they aren't the greatest.Here is Isaac on the way home!!

And Mom and Isaac eating lunch at Cafe Rio.
Happy Valentine's Day Buddy!!!

Happy Blogging! Hopefully, you'll see more of us sooner than later. But, I can't guarantee much when it is tax season.

December 2008 Highlights

It almost seems lame to be posting these so late....but here was our December in a nutshell:

Sitting on Santa's lap

Seeing Christmas lights at the Summerlin Winter Festival & Ethel M Chocolate Factory

Decorating the Christmas TreeIsaac's decorating job....all the ornaments togetherDrew re-decorating the tree

Hell froze over twice!!
(hee....thanks Amy...I love it)

It actually SNOWED here in Las Vegas! And even twice in one week.

But, the third time was the charm....because then it was a "WHITE" Christmas. Here it is snowing again on Christmas night at around 9:30pm. Never would have guessed our first Christmas in Vegas would be "white".

Opening Presents......

A BIG GIANT BOW.....who was lucky enough to get a new car?!??

Did Santa get Jared that new Mercedes he has been eying?
Oh....a quick glance in the garage shows not this year. Sorry, babe...maybe next year?!?Looks like it was the boys turn to get the new car.
