Happy New Year!

After Christmas we took a trip to San Diego with Mara and John. We had a late flight and unfortunately the kids didn't sleep, they were way too excited. We spent much of our time on the beach. The kids got to run around and play in the sand to their hearts content. Despite the water temp of about 50 deg Bryson loved to play in the ocean. Kyle on the other hand was afraid and wouldn't go near the water. We spent alot of time at Balboa park as well, there was a children's museum and a model train museum there. We couldn't get Kyle to leave the train museum. We decided it was too expensive to go to the zoo or sea world (60-70$ a person) and the kids seemed happiest at the beach. We were even able to eat at restaurants with the kids for the most part. The trips seem to be getting easier with the boys, we had more difficulty last summer when we took a trip with them than we did this trip.

Bryson is doing great, he loves going to school on the bus, he has even gotten much better at getting up and ready for the bus in the morning (usually that is one of his worst times). He is playing better with Kyle for the most part and is doing wonderful with his pretend play. He still has difficulty holding a pencil, but seems to have more patience with coloring. We had some snow a couple weeks ago and he loved playing in it. Kyle got cold right away, but I couldn't get Brsyon to come in.

Kyle is starting to work on potty training, he has moved up to the next class at daycare and they have them go on the potty every hour. He will go almost every time he tries, but rarely tells you when he has to go. He is very independent and wants things done his way, he can be pretty sassy at times and is very stubborn. He loves our cat and found her sleeping in his bed, now he always wants her in his bed when he naps. Unfortunately the cat is not very cooperative. He is very affectionate and loves to snuggle.

I signed up for a half-marathon in May, so I am starting my training for it. Things are going well so far, the longest I've run is 6 miles. I will be running in the Shamrock run in March for a 15k (9 miles). I am doing yoga on wed. eve and love it. Ken and I are planning on getting a babysitter once a week so we can have a date night. We have also started going to church. I posted new movies on out drop shots sight....
