January 2015


After spending a wonderful quiet Christmas in St. Louis we jumped on a plane to Utah to spend New Years with our crazy and fun families! The night we arrived we opened presents and ate a delicious dinner. To say Mimi spoiled my kids would be putting it lightly. She bought my kids an entire new wardrobe!

There was definatly a theme to all of William's gifts. Mimi wants him to be a big sports star!
Bowling with the Staples' crew. Its is so much fun to see the girls interact.

My parents gave us their courtside tickets to the Jazz game and watched our kids!!!!! It was so much fun and a much needed break.
William's blessing day was so special. My parents decorated their club house beautifully. I had no idea my mom was putting so much work into it. We feel so blessed to have so many amazing people in our life. William screamed through the entire thing... but the few things I did hear were really sweet. Robert blessed that Annie and William will be good friends and that made me so happy!
After we got back to St. Louis Annie started dance and gymnastics classes. William continued to grow and I enjoyed being a mom!
I love the cuddly newborn stage SO MUCH. I know I am going to miss it so much some day.
Celebrating my friend Adelaide's birthday. She is one of my best friends and has become like a sister. She could be one of the most giving caring people I know.
January had so many warm days. It was a wonderful change from last year!
I took Annie to Sesame Street live down town. It was exhausting taking two kids but Annie's smile made it worth it!

We spend a day in Alton which is the largest bald eagle nesting growns in the winter. We went hiking and at the top we saw them soaring all around. It was inspiring!
I never get sick of this little boys cuddles.
William and his sweetheart. 3 weeks apart!
Holden's birthday party!
It was a wonderful January! I absolutely love watching these kids grow!

Cheers!
