Family Time

Topher enjoying one-on-one time with Aunt Michelle. He grabbed her by the hand and made her go sit downstairs with him while he watched the Disney Channel and ate lunch.

Grandpa, Dad, and the boys enjoying a Christmas book.

As you can see it is a very interesting book! J/K! Grandpa had to deliver babies the night before and was quite tired!

So the last month or so of school and the start of the holidays has made it pretty much impossible for me to blog... I did really well in school though. I got 3 'A's and 1 'B' so I am pretty happy about that. Matthew started walking on November 22nd. We did get it on camera, but unfortunately it was right after a bath so it will not be posted here. We had two Christmases, one in Charleston with Mike's parents and sister on December 5th, as well as one with just our family on the 25th. It was nice to not "have" to do anything that day or go anywhere. We did skype everyone else so we got to feel like we were with the family. So our Christmas lasted a long time with three different time zones! We are looking forward to a new year and maybe losing some more weight! Mike is getting ready to set up a "Biggest Loser" competition in which the winner will win a cash prize. I am getting ready for another semseter at school...14 credits this semster! (Am I a glutton for punishment or what?)

Matthew sees Topher use the potty all the time and has been wanting his own turn! He has been talking so much more lately. The other day he said "that my pop-pop" (that's my popcorn), he can say: shoe, nose, eye, and more that I can't remember right now... I recently went to Kansas City, MO to Time Out for women. I got to see and hear some really cool stuff: I got to hear Michael Wilcox, Jenny Oaks Baker (she is AMAZING!!!!!), Emily Watts, John Bytheway, Kenneth Cope, Wendy Ulrich, and Kris Belcher. I went with Sally, Torrie, and Michelle. It was my first time away from my kids since I had Topher! I would highy recommend going if you have one near you!
