Brodys Stats

Brody had to go to the doctor this week due to a virus that was taking over our family. He weighs 44 lbs and is 41 inches tall.....making him completely off the charts for a 3 year old. He is 3 years and 2 months old today. i know nobody else cares about this...its just strictly for my records:)

New Years '11

With young kids, new years plans have been pretty non-existant. This year we decided to make plans though! We headed to the beach with the Daniels and Ridlehoovers to bring in the new year! With all of the kids in one house, we figured we could celebrate together after the kiddos headed to bed:) It was nice getting to spend time with great friends! Its been a long time since we have spent time with another couple WITHOUT kids:) it was a relaxing and refreshing weekend! The boys had a blast entertaining each other... although we should have kept count of how many times they were in timeout between the 2 of them for not sharing:) Logan got a bounce house for his birthday and the Daniels set it up downstairs in the beach house for the boys to plan on! they had a blast! Thankfully there were no head injuries or broken bones! Sara and I decided if we hadnt been supervising, the dads would have definitely injured the boys at some point:)

Learning to write

Ive been trying to work with Brody on learning his letters but he hasn't wanted much to do with it. He knew the letters of his name and what they looked like, but he hasnt been able to write them. Brody got a dry erase/chalk board for christmas and he has had so much fun writing on it! Apparently that was the trick to get him to start learning his letters. I helped him write his name ONE time and the next thing i know he is writing it all by himself! The only thing i had to say is "what letter comes next?" and he knew exactly what order to put them in and how to write them! SO PROUD!:)

Christmas '10

The holiday season has finally come to an end....and what a great season it was! Brody was so much fun this year, really getting into the excitement of Christmas. Levi was his usual sweet self, just taking it all in! We spent Christmas Eve with my parents and then headed to see Brian's family after we spent Christmas morning at our house.



Christmas with the Kohout family was extra exciting this year because in 3 months time we have added 3 more cousins to the mix!! Levi is 3 months old, Brians sister Krystal had 1 month old Joslyn, and Brians Brother had 1 week old Rylan! Soooo many sweet babies!





While we were in Richmond, the east coast got pounded with snow! We had around 6 inches in richmond and drove home to around 10 inches at our house!
