I found this picture on my camera and it was too cute not to post. This is from Spring Break when the boys' cousins were visiting. Our house was wild with 5 kiddos here.

Levi is 18 months
Levi's 18 month check up went well and he only had to get one shot. We had been to the doctor the day before because Dylan has strep throat and an ear infection and Levi had smashed his toe with a Dr Pepper can. Luckily his toe was not broken and he just has a black toenail. He is such a tough boy that it does not seem to phase him. His 18 month stats are below:
Weight 25lbs, 10.5 ozs - 47%
Height 32 5/8 inches - 60%
Head 19 1/4 inches - 79%
At 18 months Levi is developing quite a personality. He is saying more and more words and even putting a few words together. He loves playing with Dylan, being outside, reading books about farm animals, eating fruit snacks and popsicles and dancing. He has a temper and is going to have to start getting time outs for throwing food, utensils or anything on his tray. He also picks on Dylan when he wants his attention. He already wants to be a big boy and do everything himself. He is still a great sleeper!
Cute things he does that I hope never to forget are: make animal noises like mooing, growling, quacking when he sees animals in a book, sings in the car, loves to be chased, does a silly walk when he is happy and swims in the bathtub. He still also loves to tap around in my shoes and puts one of my purses on his shoulder and waves bye to everyone in the house.

Rodeo 2011
Sunday morning Steven and I took the boys to the rodeo to see the animals. Dylan and Levi gladly both wore their cowboy boots and jeans. This was Levi's first time to the rodeo and he loved it. We walked in through the moo cows and Levi was mooing at them. We went to the petting zoo and then Dylan rode a pony. We saw a lot of baby animals - chicks, lambs, goats, pigs, rabbits and ducks. We also went through the farm outside and Dylan was able to plant tomatoes, pick wool and feed the chickens. Below are a few pictures from our fun morning.

Park City Ski Trip
We just got back from our first family ski trip. We went with friends - Clint, Holly and Ty to Park City. The boys skied at Deer Valley two days. Dylan did great skiing - Steven and I were so proud. He went to ski school two mornings and then skied with Steven one afternoon. Steven and Dylan also went on a snowmobile ride. Levi was not too much for the cold weather so we hung out indoors most of the time. We did venture out to watch Dylan and Ty ski, but mostly enjoyed cruising around in the green jeep and looking at the beautiful scenery. We are looking forward to many more family ski vacations - maybe Levi and I will ski next time.

Happy Valentine's Day
Levi had a Valentine's party at school and was so proud to bring all of his Valentine's home. He loved getting them all out of the bag and looking at them.

Superbowl & Steven's birthday
We have had a busy few weeks. We had some friends over for the Superbowl. The kids were wild of course so I missed most of the game. Steven's birthday was last week so Dylan and I made him cupcakes and then Papa and Stephanie brought Hinze's for dinner. Friday night we had a mini birthday party for Steven at La Ha (the neighborhood Mexican restaurant). And then Saturday morning we headed to the ranch to enjoy the beautiful weather. My sisters family was there also and our friends Lyon, Tara, Barton and Kate also joined us. The kids stayed busy fishing, going on jeep rides and checking out the cows. Dylan was very sad when we had to leave and made us promise to go back real soon! Below are some pictures from all the festivities.

January
January seemed like a cold and gloomy month. Levi and Dylan did not seem to notice and were very active. On days it was warm enough went to the park, Levi in the stroller and Dylan rode his Dino-bike all the way. At the park they like to play football and run (Levi holds me hand and walks) up and down the hills. Due to several cold and rainy days in a row we brought our play slide/house in from the backyard. Both boys love it and we needed something safe indoors for Levi to climb on. We have also been playing a lot of hide and seek. Dylan likes to tell you where he is hiding to make sure you will be able to find him. They both like hiding in our closets and bathroom cabinets.
Dylan is enjoying school, riding his bike, and play dates. He is doing so well riding his bike I think he may be ready for the training wheels to come off soon. I have to run to keep up with him so it is good exercise for me! I can tell he is learning a lot at school. He tells Steven and I what letters words start with, Like D for Dinosaur and A for Angela. He has also taught me a few new Spanish words! He made up his own joke and tells me and Steven and cracks up. It does not make much sense but I thought it was good for a 3 year old. He gets too shy to tell anyone else. He is still a very affectionate mommy's boy and loves when we are all together.
Levi is doing much better with his walking although he is still a little wobbly and prefers to hold a hand. He loves to wear shoes - especially mine! He also loves his hand me down crocs from his cousins. He wears his crocs almost all day around the house and sometimes like tonight is sleeping in them. It is too much of a battle to try and take them off! He is a little chatter box although I do not understand too much of what he ways. The words I do understand are mommy, daddy, milk, bye bye, crocs, bath tub, duck, and ball. I think Dylan is Levi's favorite person and he loves to be around him. He does not seem happy at home when Dylan is at school, out with Steven, etc. He wants to be a big boy like Dylan and do everything Dylan does. He is not as much of a mommy's boy as Dylan is which is hard for me sometimes, but sometimes it is nice that he lets and prefers for Steven to hold, bath or put him to sleep. Levi loves to wave and say bye bye so when Steven leaves for work in the morning both boys usually stand in the dining room window waving - waiting for his truck to back out - too cute!
Steven and I have been staying busy with work and mainly the boys! Steven's grandmother passed away mid month and we went to the services in East, TX. We also went to a visit my college PPA friends in College Station. It was nice to see everyone and let all of our kids play together. Life/time seems to be going by so fast - I can not believe how big my babies are getting. I know too soon I will miss them always needing and wanting me. I am so blessed and am trying to enjoy every minute with my boys (although sometimes I want to scream and have a moment to myself)!
