Pinetop with my family!

From January 10th-13th, we went to Pinetop with the Ross family and my parents! It was Jace's first time seeing snow, and he LOVED walking around in it. It was his first time really walking in shoes, and surprisingly, he did really well. He had gotten a pair of Toms at his baby shower that were fuzzy on the inside, so they were perfect for this weather--nice and warm! And oh so cute. :) On one of the days, Matt, Jenn, my Matt, and I went snow boarding while my parents watched the boys. After not boarding in 3 years, it was a little rough to get back into it. My hubby was so patient with me and tried to teach me to carve. I was starting to get it by the end of the day, but my legs were so sore from riding heel side most of the morning that it was hard to keep going. But it was a lot of fun! 

 Our attempt at a picture of the boys!

 This has got to be one of my favorite pictures. I just love how much Jace loves his daddy. 

 I sure do love him.

 Playing super baby!!!

 Boarding!!!

Loved pushing the stroller instead of sitting in it. I wish we could switch. I'd gladly let him push me in the stroller instead.

It's Been a While....

So, it's been a while since I've posted any updates on the blog. I'll just post some randoms since September with little notes attached. :)

At the end of September, Matt and I went to Seattle to celebrate our 2nd Anniversary! 

In the beginning of October, my Brother-in-law proposed to his girl friend! We will have another Pagel wedding in March! I'm so excited to be getting another sister. 

 We've been going on family runs for a few months! Jace loves it, and we are taking advantage of the cooler weather!

 Jace loves water. We are so thankful that our new shower in the new house has a door. Whenever any of us would shower, he would pull open the curtain and try to get in. 

On October 17th, my second nephew Kade Samuel was born! I love him! 

In mid-October, Matt graduated with his MBA! I'm so proud of him, and praise God for sustaining him during the process! It was pretty brutal! 

 Jace was a little monster of Halloween!

 We moved to a new house towards the end of November. Packing was fun with this little guy.

On Thanksgiving, Kacey snapped some impromptu family pictures for us. They turned out well! Jace was not in a smiley mood though, so just serious faces from him! 

  At the end of November, the Brucks family came to town. It was such a great time catching up with sweet friends and our littles! 

 Night time run in our beanies.

 On Christmas Eve, we went to the Pagel's house! We baked cookies and played games. It was such a fun time. I'm excited for these new traditions!

The biggest event for Jace was learning to walk! By the beginning of November, he walked well, and now he hates to crawl. It's so crazy how fast he is growing up.  (This is out of order! oops!)

:) 

8 Months Old...

I have an 8 month old! I can't believe it. Jace is just growing way too quickly. This past month he has mastered crawling (Even though he crawls like a monkey with his hands facing inwards) and quickly moved onto standing. I can't count the number of mommy cuddles I have to give him in a single day from falling and hitting his head on something. But I know he will learn. :) Here are just a few pictures from this morning!

On the Move...

Jace is officially on the move and crawling everywhere and using anything to stand. He started crawling at the 7 month mark and hasn't stopped moving since. I'm going to have my hands full with this little guy. He's into everything!

If mom works out, he needs to play with the weights.

He loves the door stoppers... until he breaks them! Yep... buh-bye door stopper in the kitchen.

He likes my closet... and chewing on mommy's clothes. 

He likes to crawl behind things and get stuck. Yep, stuck BEHIND the couch.

Here we go buddy... your toys!!! Apparently they aren't as interesting.

Labor Day Weekend

Over Labor Day Weekend, we went up to Pinetop with the Ross Family. It was such a sweet time to see the boys play together. It was relaxing, and we enjoyed the cooler weather. Lots of playing outside and taking walks.  We even gave the boys a bath in the sink, which was super cute.
