a beautiful blur...



january




i seriously can't believe that it's February 1st! where did January go?

if i had of been blogging the past few weeks i probably would have told you about...

staying snuggled up inside while it's snowed off and on the entire month and that it's been way to cold to even go play in the snow.

and that tyson started his winter quarter and it's midterms already, and he loves his classes and he's doing amazing and loves what he does.

or that we had to lower brody's crib down to the lowest setting because he stands up and that one morning i went in to get him and he was grinning ear to ear with lovely white paint chips all over his face and inside his mouth. he sure loved nibbling on his bars, but we got bar covers so he can no longer enjoy the tasty white paint.

or that tyson started playing intramural basketball on a graduate league with his fellow statistics classmates and so far they won all there games!

or that i've crafted every saturday for the past three weeks and it's been so fun.

or that i finally started training for my half marathon that i signed up for way back in October and now it's only 3 months away.

or that my goal was to start calling friends ONCE...yes just ONCE a month and i failed in the month of january, so now i will do it TWICE in february.

or that brody and i take turns chasing each other around the house and he totally gets the concept. he's so funny.

or that brody and i have gone at least twice a week, every week, to go see tyson in his office and we walk over to the RPAC (one of the gyms on campus) to go get a fruit smoothie and we share with brody and he loves it. it's most adorable when he sucks the smoothie from the straw. (so we think.)

or that we went to dinner with friends and then bowling and it was a blast.

or that brody made the less than 3 hour drive to Kentucky to see our friends and he slept more than half the way there and back. and he only had one tiny melt down there and one on the way back and both times was when we were almost to our destination. he did awesome. triumph i tell you! (he's not a fan of his car seat).

or that brody hates his johnny jumper and jumper-roo ever since we've been back from christmas. (i would like someone to tell me why?)

or that i have bruises on my knee caps from crawling around with brody so much. they are "love" battle wounds and i wouldn't have it any other way.

or that my friend kally came down to visit me last week with her little guy brody and they stayed the night and our boys played and we got to hangout. it was so much fun.

or that brody and i went for a walk last week in 25 degree weather and went and shared pear sherbet at jeni's ice cream and then came home and snuggled up and took a nap.

or that tyson and i have been staying up way too late watching LOST season 5 together.

OR OR OR... that tyson already got our taxes done and that is AWESOME.

and i could go on and on....but for now january is now a beautiful blur of all these wonderful things. i can't believe how fast the month flew by. but for now my foucs is enjoying every little chubby cheek cuteness of brody, enjoying every laugh, cuddle, treats, little whines, story time, play dates, baby giggles, teaching moments, watching tyson succeed in classes and hello basketball ;), spending time together as a family, running, and activities and everything in between

Several things...
1) I love this post.
2) I will now expect 2 phone calls :)
3) I WILL get you that training schedule...guess that means I have a good reason to scan something for the first time in my life.
4) I can't wait to have a life similar to yours. What a blessing!
