Ta Da! I give you.....the laziest blogger of all time!

I have to start out this post with an apology to all the grandparents watching this blog. I have been promising video and pictures for weeks and am finally getting around to it. It's not that I'm busy! Really! I just frankly haven't gotten around to it. So....sorry!

Other than soccer 3 times a week and we are entertaining quite a bit, there really isn't anything else to report on our comings and goings. The milestone report is a little more interesting....Ethan is taking 6-8 steps and then falling. He is really close to walking. Bryson is growing up so fast even I can't keep up. He is already too old for our "Stop Light" discipline routine so now we are trying to adjust that. He is a great soccer player and very smart in school.

Here's an interesting milestone in our marriage....our first computer crash! The laptop is giving us the blue screen of death and when you do finally get it to turn completely on, half of the programs don't work. It's just great fun! I guess that's what you get for using a laptop like a computer for a year.

Well, folks....that's all I'm going to write. I mostly wanted to post all the videos at the bottom and now I'm talking too much. SO, Nicole.....out.

Well holy cow! Has it already been a whole week since my last post? Happy Labor Day everyone! I have to say, I really miss the family today. In Payson, this is the big family celebration time. Just wanted to let you all know that we missed you all today!!!!

This week has been rather eventful. We found out that Jack, Lynette, and Carolyn will be visiting us over fall break in October (WA HOO!!!). We are really excited to see them. We got quite a bit unpacked and someday, a year from now, we will be unpacked completely. The movers only broke a couple of things--our washer, my cedar chest, the microwave, our nice laundry hamper divider thing, Justin's mini fridge....just to name the important stuff. The good news is that they get to replace it all! BRAND NEW STUFF! YEA!

I also found a dining room table this week. I really like it! I will post a picture. We are making more and more friends. We were invited to two dinners last week so I guess that makes us popular! He he he! Today we had the missionaries over for dinner. I can't believe how young they are and it makes me think of my brother, Josh, in Brazil! I hope he is doing as well as these two young men are. They were really nice and fun to talk to!

Bryson did really well in school this week and is loving his class. He also has his first soccer game tomorrow and gets today and tomorrow off from school. He got Ethan laughing so hard tonight I thought Ethan was crying. They are best buddies!!!

Ethan is trying so hard to talk. He is standing more often and any day now, I am expecting him to just come walking into the living room. He has adjusted really well and loves to play with as many friends as we can possibly find. And....as always.....CONSTANTLY wants to be outside!!! He has also decided that baby food is yucky and will only eat table food. This is one of the hardest adjustments for his mom. I always worry about my children's eating habits.

I am going to an Army Wife class this week. I also get to get a massage on Wednesday! Thanks honey!!! Justin did a funeral on Sunday and will just keep doing his usual schedule this week.

Thanks for everyone's support! We love you and miss you!
