I think it will be easiest to update each person separately this time...
Andrew: Jan. 31st he had several procedures done on his sinuses. He couldn't bend over or lift more than 20 lbs. for 3 weeks.. He did awesome and recovered quickly. The time he was home went by way too fast. Today is his first day back to work and hopefully he's being careful :)
I though this was cute. I came home and he was brushing Janessa's hair for her. You can tell he still doesn't feel great this day.
Back to normal. The hardest thing for him was not being able to pick up Grant. It broke both their hearts.
Me: Besides everything family related, I've been in a tennis clinic this winter and am excited to play in leagues this summer. Also, I just got in to the online Medical Assisting program at BYUI this fall. I'm super exicted but also nervous and hope that I'm not too old/dumb :) My hope is to be able to do medical coding from home when I'm done.
Hallie: The beginning of January Hallie had her D.A.R.E. grauation. There was one boy and one girl chosen from each class to read their essays. She did a great job. The whole program was really neat.
She saved her money to buy new headphones. She loves listening to music.
Gymnastics...here she's doing a front flip over the mat.
Last Sunday she helped Andrew make salsa, her favorite snack. Hallie is also practicing volleyball and will have games starting in a few weeks.
Janessa: Monday Janessa turned 9, wow! We combined her's and Tyson's parties at the gym again this year. There were over 30 kids and thankfully no one got hurt.
This was a text she sent me from the spare phone. Aaah, she's so sweet.
Last weekend we celebrated at Garcia' with friends.
Sunday we celebrate both birthdays at Grandma and Grandpa's.
Tyson: Ty lost his first tooth! It was so funny. He didn't even know it was loose until about an hour before he let Aunt Marcie pull it out. Silly boy, now's he trying to make them all loose.
Tyson at the birthday party with some of his friends. He will be 6 this coming Friday the 24th!
Grant: This little suit was a hand-me-down from a friend. He was so adorable but would not leave the tie on.
This cracks me up. Chloe wants to play babies and Grant's like... I'll just sit in here :)
G and his favorite blankie. He always wants wrapped up in it but then can't hardly walk.
Andrew edited this cute picture on his phone. Grant LOVES his boots and pretty much wears them all day long :)
His also new favorite thing is to drink the milk left from cereal. I've never figured out why kids (and Andrew) do this.
A few group shots: Janessa chose waffles for dinner on her birthday so Hallie got creative and made everyone their favorite color!
The kids have had these DSi's for awhile but just figured out how to all play against each other at the same time. Atleast they're getting along, right?
Hal and Ness had their first cheer competition a couple weeks ago and they did great. They have 2 more coming up soon.
Do you think Steven and Micaela are loved? Yep :)
