Lazy Sunday and Update

The boys love watching videos on our phones.  Love these cute boys :)  You can see Noah's new big boy haircut too.
 

 
 
Well as usual, not anything too exciting to report.  I've been keeping busy taking care of the boys, cleaning the house, and exercising.  That really takes up pretty much all of my time.  I miss doing photography.  I did some mini sessions a couple weeks ago and that was really fun.  My website is finally coming up on Google here and I booked my first maternity and newborn session, so I'm really happy about that.  The sessions won't be until late Spring though.  Hopefully I'll start to book some more things.  I only plan on taking two sessions a month because that's about all I have time for.  I am looking forward to doing some more sessions hopefully soon though. 
 
Jason still really enjoys his job and he keeps busy there.  The company is a great place that he could stay and grow with or could be a great thing for his resume if he wanted to look somewhere else in a few years.  They have things you progress through and get new titles (associate engineer, etc.) so it's nice he'll be able to work through some of those titles and all that.  They also pay for him to get his masters so he is planning on starting that probably two years from now.  
 
Jason and I haven't lost anymore weight but we've managed to maintain our loss.  Hopefully once the Holidays are over we'll be able to start losing again since we still aren't at our final goals.  We are still loving NY.  The people here are so great.  I hate the cold and would love to move somewhere warm like Arizona in the future, but other than that, it's really great here!
 
Some of the ladies in the ward who have kids Sam's age do a preschool once a week so the boys have been having a lot of fun doing that.  Sam talks so well and looks and acts like such a big boy now.  He is 100% potty trained.  Once we set our minds to doing it, he was really easy to potty train!  He is still a sweet little guy and watches out for his little brother.
 
Noah is a late talker, I think mostly because he just doesn't really need/want to.  He has started saying a few more words though and is working his way towards acting more like a "big boy."  Having the two boys both so young is definitely exhausting and they like to push us to our wits end by the end of some days, but they are very sweet, adorable, and sometimes hilarious, so it's a fun journey we are thankful for everyday!
 
We are very excited for Christmas since the boys will be old enough to really enjoy it this year!  My mom and Bob are also visiting us during the holidays so we are looking forward to spending some time with them and also having a break from the boys while they play with them and we go on some dates :)  Jason and Bob will be doing some remodeling so we should have some great before and after pictures to share in the next post.  (Including from the guest room as we never did get the trim up, but they plan to do that while they are here as well).  We are excited to do some remodeling too, it's always fun!  Well we miss you all and love you all.  Thanks for all your love and support :)
