January

We headed up to my aunt and uncle's condo in Arrowhead for New Years again this year with my parents and Grandma Converse. It was a blast as always. There was tons of snow and Hunter was able to go sledding for his first time! We made a snowman, snow angels, and had snowball fights. We loved starting the new year out this way...

Until we got home, and the flu continued to spread again. :(

On the weekends if we were all feeling up to it, we did a few fun things like the skate park, where Hunter loved riding his scooter and bike.

And we found a great hiking place near our house, but discovered the hard way that it was not "stroller friendly", so next time we will bring a carrier for skyler ;)

For Christmas, I got Chase and Hunter tickets to see MONSTER JAM  for January 26th, and they both had a blast! Hunter hasn't stopped talking about it since and Chase said he was speechless and stared the entire time with his mouth open. Haha, the boy LOVES his monster trucks, and his favorites, Grave Digger and Blue Thunder were both there!

Skyler is pretty much walking now. She takes about 6 steps before gently sitting herself down, or reaching my arms. Slow and steady, unlike her brother who's first steps were basically sprinting across the room. She babbles "mama, dada, nana, baba," throughout the day and is eating "big people" food now if i cut it up really small. There hasn't been a food she hasn't liked yet so far. She is still sleeping great at night and for both naps, goes down so easily every time.

Chase's job is going really well, he was just promoted to "foreman" and has extremely long days and then comes home to do more work on the computer. He loves it though and is enjoying the company he is with and the coworkers.

My home salon is up and running and I'm so happy to say that I've actually gotten pretty busy over the last couple of weeks! I've gotten quite a few Moms from the moms group I joined in my city, and neighbors and a few from online advertising I've done and I keep getting new calls almost every day, so  far so good!!
