Brock turns 6



In February Brock turned 6, I can hardly believe it. I still remember our first move abroad when he was 5 months old and now look at him, he speeks 2 languages and goes to school. For his birthday he got a bike with no training wheels, and learned to ride it in about an hour. He loves being a big guy, and also rubbing it in with his brother. Brock is still my sweetheart and always thinks of others. He loves school, football(soccer) and karate. He is such a special boy and always tells me how the bitter truth. We love you big guy.

Cooper turns 1!!!!












I can't believe how fast time flies my baby turned 1 in January. Cooper is such a wonderful baby, he is a good sleeper and has such a fun personality. They call him "Gordo," and the people here just die over his blue eyes and chubby legs. He started walking before Christmas so nothing is safe now and Brock and Z are having to deal with him tearing through all thier toys. For Cooper's big day we let him eat pretty much whatever he wanted. I think his favorite was getting his hands on a big chorizo at lunch, well and of course his cake. We have a tradition in our family that for all the kids first birthdays we have angel food cake with whipped cream and fruit, so of course he loved that as well. I feel truly blessed to have Cooper with us, it was such a rough time through the pregnancy all the way to his birth, he is a real tresure.

Birthdays!




I know I am behind, but I have to start from the beggining of the year to feel like the blog is complete so bear with me as I recap for the first part of the year.




In January Zander turned four but thinks he is six. He is such a funny kid and has more energy than he knows what to do with. He is very smart and catches on to things very quickly. He loves to talk, and makes friends every place he goes. He will walk right up to someone and say "Hola me llamo Zander, y tu como te llamas?" There is never a dull moment and I am so glad he is my son and we have been blessed with his sweet spirit in our home.

Blogging Bug!


Wow, can time go by any faster? Time has been flying by and for what ever reason I have not found the time to update my blog, but fear not I have caught the bug! My goal is to get caught up, and keep on track!!!

Since January we have been running. Birthdays, starting new school year, Chris has had work events, and much more. We rented a beach house for the summer here in Peru in Asia, which has been fun. The boys have loved having the freedom to ride thier bikes on the boulevard and swim and play until they crash. The house we rented was right on the beach so the boys could play and I could be with Cooper in the house. I have lots of pictures to come so stayed posted. We have also had Chris's brother Joe here with us since January. He is here doing an internship for a few months which has been fun. Also Chris's other brother Josh came for a week as he is coming on board to work with Chris. So it has been very busy but very fun. Keep posted as the flood of pics rolls in.
