Dear Will or Wilson :)
My little guy is 16 months old. It has gone so fast! You are walking, climbing, babbling, and on the go at all times. You sleep great from about 8 at night to 7 in the morning and take about a 3 hour afternoon nap. You like to eat a lot and drink your milk. I wish you like veggies and fruit better but we are working on it. Your a great little brother and soak up the attention from your big brothers anytime they are giving it. Many days you are along for the ride but when we are home you really enjoy climbing on the play gym in the playroom, stacking blocks, or snuggling on the couch with your mommy or daddy. You are not a mamma's boy or a daddy's boy but rather prefer the person you have spent the most time with lately. You have gotten attached to two blankies which I love and carry them around to snuggle when you get tired. Putting you bed is a breeze, just a few songs, a short rock, and laid down on your tummy until morning. At the babysitter you have gotten a few bad reports for stealing food from the other kids at snack time which is quite comical to us and we are not super worried...yet! Will I love being your mommy and I love you. Your funny faces and laugh delight me on a daily basis. I love you sweet baby!

Grant
Dear Grant,
You are awesome and we love you so much! You are full of adventure every second of everyday and your antics never cease to amaze me. In the last weeks you have mooned the back yard; more specifically the dogs, declared you want to hunt penguins as a new Christmas Eve tradition, wrestled with your brothers every opportunity you get, fart on me, chased me with a booger, lick batteries, would not stop licking my shoulder, ask a million questions a day, pull my pants down, sneak into our bed at night, ask me to smell your feet, eat non stop...the list does not stop. You are an absolute JOY! I mean that very much. Even in the daily exhaustion of keeping up with you I am so blessed to know you and be your mom. You teach me to just live and I love that. You are in preschool and have just learned to spell you first and last name. You talk about your friend when you get home and have a little crush on your teacher Ms. Angie because she wears dressed. You are super attached to me and always have been. I am your mommy and you are my G.

Dear Jack,
Wow I love you! You are doing great in 2nd grade with Mrs. Cozzoni at Emge and at parent teacher conferences a couple of weeks ago you got a perfect report card. Amazing! You have a great group of friends at school and you talk a lot about Ethan, Luke, Gabe and many others and your antics on the playground. It sounds like football is how you spend your recess and I am not surprised. You still love to talk and ask a ton of questions on a daily basis and I really enjoy how you are getting into jokes and riddles and you are quite clever with ones you make up and the old school ones of "Mom spell CUP?" Ha Ha Buddy! Outside of school you played fall baseball, flag football, a short season of tackle football, and will start basketball in a few weeks. Fall baseball was a new challenge because it was kid pitch. I think you got hit by a ball as many times as you hit the ball. You made some great plays in the outfield and take your role as an athlete very seriously. Tackle football was fun because Dad coached. He really worked with you on being a good teammate, celebrating for others, and learning the game. You came a really long way on those character traits this season and nothing made me prouder. You also scored your first touchdown. When you scored it I cried because you have loved football since you came into this world. From it being your first word to hours spent setting up plays with skittles it is who you are. I will never forget that day. Even better you did it twice that game! You have just started tackle for a short season and tournament over Thanksgiving. Dad and I are not sure this is okay yet but we are testing out the waters for next year. You are learning a lot and although you were quite timid at first about tackling you have really stepped up to the plate. We continue to be impressed with your willingness to be taught. Quite a gift! Basketball is next and that will be new for us also. You love to play outside, inside, build army forts, read, look at football/baseball/hockey cards, "borrow" dads play station, and tournament your brothers. You always want help with your homework but you never need it...however cleaning your room is another story. Keep up the good work Jack. You make us proud every day!

Rams Game
My aunt gave us some tickets to the Rams game. They played the Seattle Seahawks. The Rams had not beaten them in five years but they won! Jack was super excited and it was Grants first Rams game. I really had a good time because so often I get left behind but my parents kept Will for us so I got to go do something fun with my boys! Grant fell asleep on the way home before we even hit the highway.
Football
Jack is playing flag football for the YMCA. Brian is the coach. The boys are learning a lot and having fun. We all go to the games on Saturdays. Grant and Will run around so I don't get to see much of the game. Jack has a blast. He is getting better and better each week. He has scored 3 touchdowns this season so far and when he scored his first one I cried!
