11:00 church takes it toll on little boys.. He is always falling asleep during lunch right after church ...notice the chip still in his hand!

Reading with Daddy (it's a cooking book by Alton Brown. Rowan LOVES to watch cooking shows!!)















Playing on the rocking horse Grandma made him






























This NEVER happens!! Rowan wants to play when I want to nap!
















Big Boy bed...the transition was MUCH easier than I ever though it would be!!






























When babysitting it got quiet so I went to check on the boys. You can't tell, but this is Rowan's walk-in closet. He climbed into the exersaucer and they were both having a blast!!















Ostrich festival















Silly Boy!!















Tricycle he got for Christmas and he loves to ride it!
















Messy spaghetti face!















This kiddo LOVES shoes!!

I was lucky enough to find a dirt cheap flight to go see Kenny and Roberta and their family (Roberta and the kids had never seen Rowan!!) Thanks for letting us visit for the weekend!! We had fun!!!

We went to try and feed the elk (we were too early, but the elk were cool! There was a lot!!)

Rowan trying to play with the kids




























The weather was beautiful on Sat so we took the kids to the park

I am again realizing how horrible I am at picture taking....not the quality but the quantity! I thought we had a bunch of pics from the move and we don't. A few of Rowan and thats it. I wish I could have gotten pics of everyone that helped. We have a great ward and they helped us out sssoooo much!!!
We just moved from the 3rd floor in one complex to the bottom floor in another apartment complex. The layout is nicer in some ways. And moving is great for us cuz we realize what we haven't used in years and are able to get rid of things!!
Surprisingly Rowan didn't mess with the boxes at all, which is a good thing cuz we started packing early in December. We hid the boxes so that Christmas would still feel like Christmas

The other December story started in November. Rowan is really pigeon toed (so was I and Cory's family has it too). The foot doctor recommended casting his feet. Which is what my parents did for me so I didn't question it. After 2 weeks they took the casts off and Rowan had completely worn through the plaster. The doctor used scissors to take them off!! When the casts were off Rowan had sores and blisters on his heels. They weren't too bad and so the doctor reinforced the casts and we tried again. 2 weeks later....more sores and he wore through them again, although not as bad. So we are taking Rowan into a child orthopedic specialist the first of February to see what he recommends.
The good thing is the casts didn't even slow Rowan down! He still climbed on everything and was as happy as ever.
This is him playing cars on the coffee table...you can see the casts (I covered them with cute festive socks!)














And because we couldn't get the casts wet, this is how we bathed Rowan!! And believe it or not, he loved it!!














Then there was the move....Rowan playing with packing from a package















Rowan climbing on DI stuff


















And we had to go out to eat cuz everything was packed and Rowan learned that using a fork was fun! (Olive Garden breadstick, he refused to eat it unless he could use the fork!)

Between Cory finishing finals and Christmas and the move and being sick I have not been very good at updating this. So I will try and update it a bunch this week. To start I have to apologize for the lack of pictures from Christmas. (My New Years resolution is to take more pics!)
Rowan got quite the haul and loved to open them! No videos, we were on webcam showing him off to the grandparents! After we opened presents we went over to some great friends for dinner and it was great! (We accidentally left the camera at home.)
And no pics with Santa because we didn't want to fight the lines. Although Rowan saw a pic of Cory's cousins kids on Santa's lap and laughed!!! I wanted to see if he would laugh at Santa!! But we were busy.
More stories to come with more pics. But here are the few from Christmas:
We got some yummy cookies from some friends and I gave one with sprinkles to Rowan and he LOVED them.















I love his eyes in this pic, he just looks mischievous (I think he gets it from his daddy!)















Trying to share















Shopping with Daddy














Rowan got a tricycle for Christmas. Before we moved we just had it in the rocking position, but he LOVES being able to ride it at the new place!

We finally got family pics done!!!! (Thanks Erin)
Rowan didn't want to cooperate cuz he has been getting grumpier in the evenings and that is when we did the pics. But we still got some fun ones






































































Not a family pic, but Rowan LOVES this and giggles so cute!!


















These are at a park at a friends birthday party. He loves playgrounds!!! (even with his casts!! Which don't slow him down at all!!)
